Look carefully at this light and you'll see a small space between the curved ribs, which I intentionally left there to test an idea. My original design called for a completely closed top, but after making some initial calculations, I realized I needed more ribs than my first guess, so that's why you see gaps between them now. This design change turned out to be a good thing, as it ended up working better in the end. The small space between the ribs increases printing time significantly because it forces the printer to make many tiny moves, which is a slow process. After printing at 90 mm/sec with a layer height of 0.200 mm, this lamp took over 25 hours to complete. This design allows for any one of several LED lights called "puck" lights, which can be powered by either batteries or wall power. If you're looking for reliable wall-powered options, I've got some recommendations on my blog, including links to products that work well: http://birkbinnard.com/blog/wall-powered-led-lights/.
