Magnifying Glass Mount For IKEA Jansjö Lamp

pinshape

Need a Magnifying Lamp for detail work occasionally, but was surprised at how costly they are. Used a 4" magnifying glass from a bookstore and my trusty IKEA Jansjö that's always handy, and it was a perfect match. The magnifying glass handle unscrews to insert into the part and then screw back on tightly. The section that mounts on the lamp requires some persuasion to open wide enough to slip on smoothly. 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 originally planned for two M3 screws, but ended up using only one M4 instead, which is more than strong enough. The suggested position is to keep the lens on the inward side of the lamp (between head and base/mount) to avoid extraneous weight on the flexible shaft. It is very stable and balanced this way. Print Settings: Printer: FLUX Delta Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 150 Infill: 20% This design 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 thickness of your magnifying glass. Some coaxing to slip the collar over the Jansjö lamp gooseneck shaft was needed; I just spread the collar ends a little with a screwdriver to get it started. Then it slipped into place and then slid up to clamp on the collet just above the lamp head. If you need one printed or customized, hit me up on 3DHubs.
