Photo slides lamp 35mm - Lampe diapositives

thingiverse

I've been itching to do something creative with my photography degree photos for ages, and finally, I sat down and designed this lamp using Tinkercad. It takes 24 slides to fill the lamp - a decent amount, if you ask me. I came up with two types of holders: one made from plastic and another from cardboard. Both types fit perfectly into their respective slots. I printed it at 0.35 mm resolution, which took about 14 hours for the base and 5 hours for the cover, all at a 15% infill. I didn't use any support material for the base, and for the cover, I printed it upside down to avoid using any support structure. The filament used was a rainbow silk PLA from Amazon.ca - a weird no-name Chinese brand that surprisingly worked out great. I created a version with a square hole for a little LED light I bought at the Dollarama. In the end, I made a clap-on/off lamp using a Circuit Python board from Adafruit that needs some refinement. I'm thrilled to have modeled this thing from scratch, considering how much I disliked modeling in my animation degree - maybe Maya just wasn't my cup of tea!
