Victorian Hurricane Lamp

thingiverse

A 3D model of a Victorian-style hurricane lamp has been created. The lamp holds a small battery-powered tea light and comes in various pieces for customizable height. Depending on the combination, it can be as tall as 26cm or shorter. Tea lights with a diameter not exceeding 4cm should be used. The model was designed to showcase Blender's precision work capabilities and to test the printer's clarity and overhang limits without requiring support during printing. A decimated version of the swirling base has been uploaded, reducing its file size to just over 5mb. Additionally, a user requested a version with a 7mm hole down the middle, which has also been provided. For printing, components do not require support due to their large size; low infill is recommended. The lampshade is a solid model that prints without top or bottom layers and fits snugly around the light holder. A Thingiverse user has created a hollowed-out version of the lampshade for download as an alternative. Assembly instructions are demonstrated in the gallery, and it's crucial to use the light holder with the castle to secure the tea light. Only LED tea lights should be used in this model.
