Teardrop Lamp - 3D Printing Build

myminifactory

The Teardrop Lamp showcases a unique blend of technologies, merging 3D printing with traditional craftsmanship to create a stunning mixed media project. A durable concrete base, crafted from Shapecrete, forms the foundation, expertly molded using a 3D printed mold. Rising above this solid base is a wooden ring, precision-printed in 3D and wrapped with a thin layer of wood veneer, adding warmth and texture to the design. Atop this elegant structure sits the lamp's crowning glory - a translucent shade crafted from natural-colored HIPS, printed in 3D and imbuing the entire piece with a crisp, white glow that harmonizes perfectly with both monochromatic and colorful lighting schemes. Update: Recognizing that not all enthusiasts may wish to employ concrete in their Teardrop Lamp creation, an alternative base has been designed for those who prefer a 100% 3D printed solution. The updated download files now include a mold for crafting a concrete base, as well as a fully printable base, allowing users to choose the one that best suits their creative vision. Full build instructions are thoughtfully included within the download files, guiding enthusiasts through every step of the Teardrop Lamp's assembly and ensuring a seamless transition from design to reality.
