Description

[Introduction]

A desktop lamp! Somewhat industrial inspired, but working to introduce more curves into the various elements. I'm not entirely sure what style this fits under. It's an oddity in some fashion, but still a fun piece. An experiment into a few different styles and approaches.

There's ridges on the arms around the bolt holes, to help keep them in place, and notches on the arms to help keep the bolts from spinning, so you can tighten them down, and keep the arms locked in a secured position.

I wanted to hide the cable within the arms themselves. I'm using Bambu's LED kit on this, and placing the switch at the mid-joint on the arms. Some of the USB-LED lights from Amazon might be better, as the switch would be better positioned after the lamp.

[Printing Info]

A number of the pieces are tweaked for strength or weight. The arms are 100% plastic to help with flex. The bolts are beefed up to help keep them from splitting. The base is partially printed at 100% for weight, and the bolts used for the feet on the base are at 100% for the same purpose, to help keep the lamp sitting flat.

There's TPU feet! You can print them in PLA if you don't have any TPU, or leave them off alltogether, if you wish.

I use screws from Bambu's Makersupply, and mainly design around those. However, you can purchase self tapping screws from amazon if that's easier for you. I'd recommend an assortment like this Amazon US, or you can purchase just m3x8mm self tapping screws like these Amazon US.)

1x LED Puck Light (I would recommend the one sold by Bambu, or one like this from Amazon US, or Amazon US. Either of these options should be good, and provide a better switch location vs the Bambu one)
11x BT3x8mm Self Tapping Screws (Can be done with 10 screws, if you leave one of the interior screws out, for the back part of the light housing.)

[Assembly]

Run the LED light's cable through the hole in the back of the housing. the smaller hole is for the attachment of a zip tie, to help keep the LED's cable secure. Secure the back with 2-3 M3x8mm self tapping screws

Attach the front ring with 3 M3x8mm Self tapping screws

On the arms, there are 12 little support bridges to clip. Clip and remove these so we have a clean path for the cable.

Run the cable through the channels on the arms, and secure both arms together using 2 M3x8mm Self Tapping Screws. *(For Bambu's light kit, the switch fits best when positioned between the two arms, like in the main photographs. For light pucks sold by Amazon, the position of the switch will be different.)*

Use the printed bolts to secure the Lamp housing, arms, and base together. There's a notch on the bolt head side, to help keep the bolts from spinning.

Assemble the 3 feet, using 3 M3x8mm Self Tapping Screws to secure the TPU foot to the base plastic foot.

Lastly, install the 3 feet onto the base.

Here is the double beam version. I started with a double bottom at first, it fixed some of the shaking but not completely. Then i doubled up the top one as well and now its pretty solid. It does make it top heavy though, so I will add some ballast weight to the bottom of the stand or maybe enlarge the it. The double beams also made the clicking when adjusting somewhat better. Before it was either too tight so I would have to unscrew them, or too loose, now its just right.

I need that version 😍

@user_1252069235

Replying to @user_1252069235 :

Its basically the same lamp with two lower and two upper beams. The only other parts you need are the longer screws, here they are: https://makerworld.com/en/models/684165

Printed in white with blue/green silk accents. I used an MR16 bulb with GU10 sockets, much brighter than bambu LED. I like the style but.... it turned out a little wobbly, tends to keep shaking sideways for a bit after adjustment or if I bump the table. I love your headphone stand because it is so solid. There are other stands with somewhat similar style but they are all pretty flimsy. This lamp would be great if it was more solid. I think if you added a second bottom beam in parallel on the other side, that would reinforce it and prevent the flexing. PS: gave my lamp a silk kippah....it supports 🇮🇱

Nice! Yeah there's some flex to it. I wasn't sure if there was an easy way to design it out without bulking it up in odd ways. tried to make it stiffer by adjusting the profile to have more plastic in the arms, but it only helps so far. Maybe a more industrial version is in orders; can explore those concepts a little more. For this one, it is a little bit of a trade off between style and solidness.

I think I will try to remix it with double bottom arms. Any chance you can make that bolt longer for me if its not a big hassle. Looking forward to all your new stuff! A laptop stand would be cool if you looking for new ideas. Then I would replace my Rain360 stand and it will be a complete Josh3D desk! And again cant say enough good things about the headphone stand. Ive tried most 3D printed designs that are out there and have a few commercial models including some very nice high end ones and they are all in the closet collecting dust. One of my all time favourite 3D prints! Everything well thought out, space for cable underneath, pads not being compressed, good height, solid build, great design language, just awesome all around.

I can make the bolts longer if you need. Just let me know about how much longer. I have been wanting to do a laptop stand. I've thought a bit about a couple of ideas, but haven't tried to put anything into 3d yet. I appreciate the comments on the stand. Yeah, you made me think back to how robust that thing is!

super model, press profile excellent

Beautiful design. I think integrating the switch is possible in the lower arm given the length of the wire inside the lamp. But still very functional. Thank you.

Good day Looks very good and works well (all from wood filament leftovers). I also put together a holder for a shelf (quickly). If you have time and could find a beautiful and better solution, it would be good. Good luck Best regards

Another amazing design. This one was an easy decision to print as I needed a side table lamp for my workspace. Maker Supply LED kit came really quick too. Goes well with all my others prints from Josh3D as well, because he likes to stick to similar design styles, which I really like and appreciate. Printed with Bambu Lab Basic PLA - Bronze, Bambu Lab Matte PLA - Charcoal and Elegoo TPU - White.
