Description

POSELIGHT

…The posable light.

 

Had a LED lamp kit laying around and needed a light i could adjust and bend to my tinkering needs, but couldn't find any that was exactly what i wanted. 

 

So i just made my own. Isn't that what 3D printing is all about?

 

The model consist of ball joints fixed to a table clamp. The will fit table from 8mm all the way up to 30mm. 

The middle segments have a groove to allow you to hide the cable inside the assembled “stem”. For this i might make a tool, but personally just used a non sharp piece of metal i had laying around on my desk.

 

Its a rather straight forward affair, but i will add instructions & tips once i get the time.

 

Assembly instructions:

  1. Gather your printed pieces + the LED kit

     

    2. First assemble the shaft

    This may take some force, i personally just pressed them in using my thumb and guiding the pieces with my other hand

     

    3. Attach the top most joint (the one with the square top)

    I pressed this in place using a flat hard surface

    align all the slots on the assembled piece!

     

    4.  Insert the led module into its housing 

    5. Connect it to the stem

6. Next, ease the cable into the groove. Be sure to align the pieces before this!

For this is used a coin i picked up from a conflict zone. Be sure to leave the last 1-2 joints at the end!

Attach the back housing of the led. Also in view, the last join unsnaked. 

 

7. Take the clamp piece and insert the clamp join.

screw on the screw part.

 

8. Attach the assailed stem and led to the clamp. I mounted the clamp on a table for easy(ish) installation.

Finnish up by snaking the cable rest of the way

 

9. Bask in the glory of your assembly prowess! 

 

 

The tolerances are quite tight and some force is required (nobody wants a soggy light), if someone is struggling with the assembly fear not, i am brainstorming to make this more accessible.

 

Printed in PLA Matte, not tested on other filaments as of now.

Exactly what I have been looking for! I scaled to 150% and modified the base and added poles to fit my needs. I did have to print some reinforcements to keep it from sagging under the weight of my grow light. Thank you!

Absolutely beautiful modification! :)

What did you use for reinforcements and are you able to share the extension poles you made?

I printed the individual parts using orange and white PLA. After printing them, I assembled them correctly. Everything fits perfectly. I swear to 3D printing God, I've never had so much pain in my hands while assembling a 3D print in my entire life :-) But it was absolutely worth it. I applied an inhuman amount of force to the individual parts. I was sure at least one would break, but that wasn't the case. That however, speaks for perfect tolerances and a well thought out Design. As mentioned, everything works perfectly, and the print quality is top-notch. Thank you very much for sharing this beauty.

Sorry about the indirect strength test lol! Glad you still like it! Didnt even think about using alternating colors! Did you assemble the stem alternating one by one? Happen to have a pick of it?

Also have to say, but im loving your lighting! All your models look so cool with the multiple lights!

It was a very good but painful experience ;-) Yes, I did pair the pieces while assembling them. I always connected two ball joints together, and then two to two more. In the end, I had the complete stem made up of two individual pieces, which I then connected together. Yes, I've taken pictures of the fully assembled lamp. I'll upload them to your A1 mini profile because I've already printed the lamp twice in the same color: one on the A1 and one on the A1 mini. I had a few Bambulab LED kits lying around and I definitely think this is the best print for it.

I printed it in PETG - it was a bad idea :( I have assembled it quite easily, but PETG is too flexible and slippery. It cannot keep it's own weight - look at the .gif So, my opinion: don't print this model with PETG!

PETG is very much too flexible for this, it could maybe work with tighter tolerances, but this needs more testing :)

Same problem with PLA Basic, it's not the filament but the project

i think you have a really great design and it might just be a print profile or different kind of filament but some of the parts were really really hard to put together and some were a bit more loose so overall it can maintain its shape but can also be a bit wonky and kind fall over. it’s still a great print and I appreciate you for uploading and sharing the design! thank you!

printing a posable arm with joints like this should always be printed with at least PETG, if possible ABS. PLA will always loose grip after just a few movings

It appears exquisite, however I offer a word of caution: avoid excessive bending during use, as this might sever the wiring I designed a nearly identical model some time ago, and the copper wire fractured after repeated testing I did not further refine it and thus did not release it This is merely a friendly suggestion; it does not imply that the author's model will suffer the same fate

That is a very interesting approach! did the knurled exterior help in your opinion? I tried the fuzzy skin modification to achieve a similar goal. I have added chamfer to the inside if the balls, in a bid to give a path to the wire even when bent. I might conclude some more testing and increase the chamfering. Thank you for pointing this possibility! :)

Helpful and exhibits pleasing articulation when bent, though admittedly, wear does become apparent with repeated use

perhaps tpu could be utilised in someway for friction, as PLA does tend to distort with time.

very good print thank you for those who, like me, have resistance issues in some places (lamp bending under its own weight) you can put masking tape and no more worries 👍

Very good, thanks! I printed double the length and it sags a little 😜

There are some lines man was not made to cross! only a mad man would do 3x! Very cool to see the tape solution! I personally experimented with a version that had a inner component made of TPU, but that made the model only for people with dual nozzles and I always try to make things for everyone :)

NIce design! I needed a stronger and longer version so i upscaled to 150% and changed the Fuzzy skin thickness from 0.1mm to 0.2mm. It required a lot of force to assemble, but that was the point. It now can hold a heavier light and be longer, by just printing more ball joints. Printed in PETG, we'll see if it gets too flexible after some use. I will print in PLA instead if that happens. A question though: is it on purpose that the screw holding part is off center? (on both printing profiles)

Hope it wasnt too strenuous to assemble! Well kinda on purpose, in the sense that i made this model rather quickly and only noticed the misalignment after people commented about it, but decided that its just a quirk and not really model breaking lmao. Kinda eye balled the clamp tbqh.

Haha maybe make that "slightly off-center" quirk your signature for your other models!

I read other reviews, but I wanted to try because it looked simple enough. But even though it was really tough to put together, like others mentioned, it does not hold. My lamp keeps falling down. I am now just using the bottom and the top part, without any link and screwed it to the top of the left monitor.

The lamp isn't assembled yet, but it looks great, printed with Easy ABS.

How did it assemble with abs? Does it hold up? Havent tried any other filament but pla matte so i dont know if the tolerances are good for other materials
