Somehow customizable E14 LED Chandelier

thingiverse

My wife complained we rarely had any chandeliers in our rooms, so I set out to create one myself. Here's my attempt. Instructions: You'll need just a few things to make this project happen: - Your 3D printer is required. - You will also need an aluminum or steel rod. - A drill is another must-have tool for this job. - Some copper wires are necessary as well. - It would be helpful to have some E14 bulb sockets, preferably ceramic ones. - Finally, you'll need LED bulbs. You can create a simple lamp with just one shade. To do that, all you need to print is the "lamp.stl" file, then insert an E14 socket and secure it with the necessary wires – voilà! Alternatively, if you prefer something a bit more complex, you can go for a double-shade design. In this case, you'll have to think carefully about how these two shades will be connected before moving on. You see, making two lamps like this involves printing "lamp.stl" twice and "lamp_holder_side.stl" twice, followed by assembling all the parts together using some screws – or if you prefer, some E14 sockets are easier to manage this way. If you really want to make it look like I have, go for a full-fledged chandelier! You will need three printed copies of "lamp.stl," one "lamp_holder_center.stl" file, and two copies each of the other stl files ("lamp_holder_side"). Don't forget that the most complicated step here involves taking an aluminum rod, drilling some holes into it to hide your precious wires – quite a task indeed!
