Modular Lighting system (MoLiS)

thingiverse

I designed this desk lamp specifically for my study (Industrial Design Engineering @ TU Delft). The lamp consists solely of 3D printed parts and aluminium extrusion, featuring a square tube. With the ease of modifying 3D printed parts and accessibility of aluminium extrusion, the lamp can be adjusted with minimal effort. To assemble this desk lamp: First, print all required parts at your preferred resolution (I printed them with a layer height of 0.1mm and nozzle size of 0.5mm). Begin by printing one part to verify its fit. Make adjustments if necessary. Next, cut the aluminium extrusion to the desired length. Consider applying a surface finish if you want; however, note that paint will add additional thickness to the material. Drill holes for the rivets and cables as well. Secure all parts in place with rivets. In my prototype, I utilized a 20 watts halogen lamp, but please be aware that such powerful lamps are not suitable for small lampshades. For the next version of this design, I plan to use LED lighting instead.
