SEKOND LIGHT IKEA HACK

thingiverse

I'm excited to share with you my latest DIY project featuring the amazing IKEA SEKOND. I've managed to repurpose this versatile piece of furniture into a stunning LED light installation. For Part 1, I used a 0.6mm nozzle and set the layer height to 0.25mm. I opted for Vase mode, which allowed me to create a smooth, rounded shape that perfectly complements the delicate glow of the LED lights. I chose PLA as my printing material of choice, not only because it's easy to work with but also because it produces a beautiful, high-gloss finish. Moving on to Part 2, I decided to experiment with a slightly different approach. Again, I used a 0.6mm nozzle and set the layer height to 0.25mm, but this time I opted for 15% infill instead of Vase mode. The result was a part that's not only incredibly detailed but also surprisingly durable. One thing to note is that I had to get creative when it came to creating the hole in Part 1. Since my 3D printer isn't equipped with a built-in drill bit, I resorted to using a Dremel rotary tool to carefully carve out the hole. It was a bit of a challenge, but the end result was well worth the extra effort. Overall, I'm thrilled with how this project turned out. The combination of IKEA SEKOND and LED lights has created a truly unique and eye-catching piece that's sure to be the talk of the town.
