Octopus lamp - ready for 3D printing !!! The model is designed specifically for FDM 3D printing, you should have no problems -----------Added an archive (Octopus cut.zip) with a cut tentacle for printing on a printer with a working volume less than 200 x 200 x 200mm ------------- Perfect for wall decoration. Attention to print the whole model will need a printer with a large print field: porthole dimensions XYZ 210 x 210 x 54 mm tentacle (octopus) sizes XYZ 292 x 327 x 222 mm can be cut into pieces if dimensions do not allow I used the bulb holder E27 socket: Here are links to similar socket , I hope there are shops in your city where similar cartridges are socket https://www.amazon.com/Pendant-Sockets-Sopoby-4-pack-Hanging/dp/B01M5F3DA2/ref=mp_s_a_1_16?keywords=e27+lamp+socket&qid=1578373249&sprefix=e27+lamp+&sr=8-16 https://www.amazon.com/Simple-Deluxe-Extension-Hanging-Included/dp/B01LG0RGUO/ref=mp_s_a_1_72?keywords=e27+lamp+socket&qid=1578373413&sprefix=e27+lamp+&sr=8-72 https://www.amazon.com/JACKYLED-Extension-Hanging-Lantern-Cable/dp/B016MDPWL0/ref=mp_s_a_1_87?keywords=e27+lamp+socket&qid=1578373459&sprefix=e27+lamp+&sr=8-87 At the socket, it is necessary to cut off the back of the wire retainer - so that it does not rest against the model wall. I made a special test piece which I posted in my profile for free. I recommend printing it first to check the socket (maybe you can take it with you and check in the store if the socket is suitable) The part is called: Octopus lamp - socket test I used a decorative spiral lamp, you can use a diode lamp - in my opinion, not bright lamps are better suited (to achieve a steampunk effect) Do not use very bright lamps, they become very hot and can damage the plastic socket! lamp base heating. In the socket that I bought, the wire is clamped mechanically without soldering. You need: Cut the wire from the socket next to the lamp Cut off the plastic part of the wire holder from the holder so that it becomes more compact Insert the nest into the tentacles Mark the hole for the wire remove the nest from the tentacles Drill a hole in the socket with a dril Paint the tentacles Pass the wire through the tentacles and insert into the socket (the wire is inserted into the clamps - depends on the socket) Check lamp The scale of the model cannot be changed, otherwise the parts will not fit! The size of the tentacle and porthole is shown in the photographs. It is better to print the tentacle and porthole in whole parts without cutting - if the size of your printer allows. if you want to print this model but the field of your printer is smaller - write me (in email stepantarasov1@gmail.com) the dimensions of the printing area, I can cut the model for you (but then gluing and possible post-processing will be required)
