Personal use only.

This model is design for MakerWorld light contest (3/5). Complete free version is only available on here Makerworld.

This design takes two days of design, revisions, and tests. So your support will make more design like this available in the future. (It could also please my boss, let her stop blame me wasting my personal time of this)

So, continue with my last Bellsprout lamp design, there were many people who mentioned it would be cool to have a Peashooter lamp. So, there you go.

This design is also work around adopt the Bambu lab Lamp LED Kit 001 as light source, at the same time, I also want something new in there. So there are many new elements added in there beside the style different.

A1mini:

When initiated this design, I set it to be able to print within the build plate size of a1mini, so people who only have a1mini will also be able to enjoy it. Also, I don't want to go back and rework on some of the things to fit the size later, if someone requests it.

But it givesssssss me so much trouble just because of the build plate size. There are tons things that I have to work around to make it happen. But yeah, I got it done.

Credit:

My boss said I need to credit her work here. She taught me how to draw the line on parts.

New Mechanical stuffs:

Besides carry over ball joint design from previous work. I also have added thread, two locking mechanisms, one is located on the back on the head, where leaf attaches at, it is gradually locking structure where you can feel the friction increase while locking it. (But yeah, I have mess up the locking direction, it is left hand lock, lol)

Second one is located at bottom of the head, where it attaches to the ball joints. It allows two pieces still remains two degrees of freedom even when it is fully locked in position. Still working on better tolerancing, but it is definitely interesting stuff.

Printing Profile:

All the printing profiles are 0.28mm layer height. I have tested, in this scale (size) of model you can't really tell the differences in terms of printing quality from 0.20mm to 0.28mm. So why not just save some time.

Two printing profiles are available up there. I colored the head on eye. So, it takes very long time to print. I have tested, if you don't might paint with your maker after hand, pick some color for that part, you will reduce printing time to half.

Joints:

I put all the joints in one plate, the setting on joints is different with other parts. In order to keep the strength and flexibility of parts at the same time, keep it at 4 walls, 15% to 20% infill, less or extract will cause strength issue.

BOM:

Post work:

Remove all the brims. You don't need video instructions for this, right?

Assembly:

Pay attentions how I put joints together, this ensure best practice to reduce the failure of joints during assembly.

Step 1:

LED goes to head hub.

Step 2:

Head leaf assembly.

Step 3:

Head to joints connection.

Step 4:

Base hub. It is tight fit, perform assembly on table as shown.

Step 5:

Final assembly, take head joints off will make it easiler to put on with rest of the joints.

Okay, My favorite parts, design:

Since we are doing a feature orientated design, a function part. So the main focus is make it work. The size is determine by the light source, this design is a lot bigger in size compare to last lamp, since I want to put a standard light ball in there as light source too.

Also ensure it will fit the a1mini build plate size.

You know, when head is in such big size, you will need a stable base to keep it from falling.

Beside keep more weight on the base, you can also ensure keep the center of gravity as center as possible.

Integrate parts.
