Magnifying Glass Mount for IKEA Jansjo Lamp

youmagine

I needed a magnifying lamp for detail work, but I was surprised at how much they cost. I used my trusty 4-inch magnifying glass from a bookstore and the IKEA Jansjö that's always handy – it was a perfect match. The magnifying glass handle unscrews to insert into the part and then screw back on. The section that mounts on the lamp requires some persuasion to open wide enough to slip on. I designed it to mount on the collet, just above the lamp head, as that part gets warm, and I didn't want PLA softening issues. I designed for two M3 screws, but I ended up using one M4 instead, and it's more than strong enough. The suggested position is to keep the lens on the inward side of the lamp (between the head and base/mount) to avoid extraneous weight on the flexible shaft. It's very stable and balanced this way. Print Settings: Printer: FLUX Delta Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 150 Infill: 20% Notes: The prints just fine without supports or rafts with the split hole vertical and the solid hole horizontal. The overhang angles are not an issue at all. Post-Printing: Trim, file, adjust as necessary for the thickness of your magnifying glass. Some coaxing was needed to slip the collar over the Jansjö lamp gooseneck shaft – I just spread the collar ends a little with a screwdriver to get it started. Then it slipped into place and slid up to clamp on the collet just above the lamp head. If you need one printed or customized, hit me up on 3DHubs at https://www.3dhubs.com/bangkok/hubs/boozekashi.
