Spinning Light Filter 3D print model

This device generates a dynamic lighting show by circling a room's walls, situated above standard incandescent lamps on a central rod mounted atop the lamp shade. Heat rising from the bulb powers the unit's rotating fan blades. The lamp's light, scattered through numerous holes in the unit, creates a kaleidoscope of spinning shapes that move across nearby walls. Colors can be introduced if transparent color film is applied around the inner cylinder, attached at regular intervals to tabs by 2-inch wide by 14.63-inch long strips of transparent color film or lenses for various effects. This device occupies a small 5.5-inch cube, accommodating compact 3-D printers. Users will need to determine the ideal suspension distance between their printed model and bulb, considering heat levels from the wattage used, and test it carefully to prevent deforming the thermo-plastic material with excessive heat. A light wire coat hanger, sharpened at the end, is suggested for use as a central rod support.
