Large Octopus Light

Updated 1/23/26

Found an issue with the inserts being too thin.  As such, I did the entire model and uploaded again.  This time everything slices successfully.  My apologies for the error.

Design Concepts

This octopus light features a sleek and modern design with curved tentacles and a minimalist body, making it an ideal decorative piece.  Fully assembled dimensions are approximately 26" by 22.6".

Usage

Perfect as a nightlight or ambient light in bedrooms or living rooms. Its unique design also makes it a conversation starter.  This would be a great project to use with WLED.

Printing Recommendations

You'll need a 300mm build plate or larger for this without scaling down.  Print the outside in whatever color you want.  Keep the inside pieces as black.  Print the caps as white.  You can try transparent for the caps as well.   No supports are needed.

Assembly Instructions

After printing, all pieces will need to be glued together.  I would recommend CA Glue and Spray.  For lights, feel free to use whatever you like.  I did not include a whole for the light cable/power so make sure to add one depending on where you want it.

If you print this, please share a make.  I'd love to see how they turn out.
