LED Strip Light Paper Lamp

thingiverse

I crafted this lamp in approximately five hours. I dissected an LED strip into four sections, as seen in the third and fourth pictures, which showcase the corners where the cuts were made. Subsequently, I connected some wires together and wrapped heat shrink tube around exposed ends to secure them to a battery pack. To insert the small slits at the top of the lamp, I employed velum paper, visible in the second picture. The filament used for the lamp is Hatchbox PLA Black. The dimensions required for the paper inserted into the slits are 5 and 1/8 inches by 7 and 1/8 inches, while the top measures 5 and 1/8 inches by 5 and 1/8 inches in size. To successfully print this lamp, supports are necessary for "LampBottom" and "LampTop." I recommend printing the top part upside down and the bottom part right side up. However, "LampBottomLid" does not require any supports. Removing the supports from the top part can be a challenging task due to the thin slits designed for paper insertion. To make this process easier, I suggest using an exacto knife in conjunction with wire cutters to remove the supports. Additionally, I sanded the outer parts that had supports on them to achieve a smooth finish. The overall dimensions of the lamp are 6 inches by 6 inches by 10 inches.
