Elegant 3D printed mid-century modern lamp #shorts

Increase retraction by 1 or 2 mm or so and speed around 50mm for direct drive will help A TON with all the blobs

Granted it depends on what aesthetic you are going for, but would a pile of sanding and/or vapor smoothing be good for that lampshade of sorts?

Those screws are too short. They should make contact at least 3 full turns.

Looks reminiscent of the Sonos Ikea speaker lights. Well done!

[CourtneyRoberts]

Use longer bolts. Those things had 2 threads at best, no bueno. At a minimum have a depth at equal to the diameter, even with inserts. So M3 should have minimum of 3mm threads in the insert.

a Lithophane for a Shade would have been even more amazing!

I swear the voron 0 is always so adorable.

[RonnyGarbella]

Echt tolle Idee 💡 👌, sehr inspirierend

You should put a counter sink in the black plastic clips. For the head of the bolts, give you more threads.

Nice results, love the design.
That is a big 3d print, how many hours took that?

[matneu]

Well made, but a filament bulb is not necessary if you hide it in the lampshade

[JdiJoey]

Definitely need to spend more time than money in the hobby. Learn to tune the printers. The first print was horrific

For those who commented that the screws won't hold. You are wrong they WILL hold.

That's what the heat pressed brass inserts are for.

The screws screw into those inserts. The threads are brass. Strong enough for sure

It’s a “flexible” bed plate not fold in half like a Fn taco. All you have to do is flex it both directions & it pops right off not fold it in half.

This would look great 2-4 more stuck to the ceiling, but the white dome part needs to be whole not with a hole

[sotErik]

Dry that filament & do a retraction tower test. Those zits are nutz!

[johnrobertelardo]

What do you call the thing that you screw where he pushed thru the plastic before screwing it?

[TotoGuy-Original]

nice idea i would definitely have sanded the base though and primed it at the very least maybe even paint but primer would look good alone

[plang]

Plug it in and watch everything melt 👍

[lexeindhoven]

These screws are just hold on with one tread.. maybe use longer screws if you hang something with it
