IKEA Lagra Lamp Replacement Pivot Mount

thingiverse

I ended up snapping my wife's work light that she uses for sewing, and boy was I in serious trouble for it. So I came up with and printed this part to repair the lamp. This is actually the first thing I've designed using 123D Design, so far everything seems good. I wasn't able to replicate the "ripples" that the lamp section interlocks with though. I'll see how it goes after the print and redesign if necessary... trying to figure out the polylines for it was really challenging. I know the lamp itself isn't worth much. But why get rid of something we can fix with a 3D printer! The first print bridged amazingly well, however as the hole in the nipple goes "all the way through" it sags since it has nothing to stick to in the middle. I also made the mounting holes a bit too small and broke the print. A revised version will be available soon! I recommend printing with the circular nipple at the top if you have an actively cooled hotend and are a master of bridging. Otherwise, print it in the same orientation as the file comes with and use support for the nipple.
