Alien Artifact Light – Futuristic 3D Print

Bring a touch of mystery and sci-fi style to your space with this original alien artifact light design. Inspired by ancient relics and futuristic tech, this unique 3D print is perfect as a desk lamp, display piece, or prop.

Perfect for fans of sci-fi décor, cosplay props, and one-of-a-kind lighting pieces.

Two display options:

• Outer shell + inner shell – for a fully detailed, intricate artifact effect.
• Inner shell only – for a minimalist, glowing cuboid orb look.

Light Options

• You have the option of 2 or 4 Lithothane LED Backboards to use. I would advise using 4 to get the full effect of light on all 4 sides 

  of the light.  Parts are lsited

Assembly

Assembly is simple and requires some optional brass threads & A glue gun or superglue to retain the light boards. Basic instructions below or quick short video to give you an idea of how it assembles. 

• Feed the Cable through the hole in the base, across the open channel, then into the central hole.

• Connect the cable to one of the in series LED panels, then connect the rest as per instrctuions with light.

  

• Slot the 1st panel into the slot nearest the cable. Hot glue or glue in place. 
• Insert M3 brass threads into the designated holes using a solder iron. (You can use self tap screws if needed)
• Cable retain with M3 brass threads and M3 screws
• Attached the rest of the LED panels

• Clip on angled LED Board clips

  

• Glue the rest of the panels

• Slide of inner sleeve (You can use this as a standalone light without the outer shell.

  

• Slide over the outer shell.

  

   

   

Finish

• I used Basic Black filament for the base and outer shell
• I then used silver Rub n buff on the outer shell to give the metal look.
• You could use silver filament https://www.amazon.co.uk/Rub-buff-Silver-Trademark-UK00003085705/dp/B07SPHQSHQ/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=R3GQ0X3HKHQD&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.4fhxtnjJI4zWuave7x5iZxmkxN_K3Cl5vlBDtepferDY57_A5GfcBU-rFCoiDZ48ATxrWU2-0eprNu0pdsSsnGJf9nzPh8Uc6FB5av4weF6hQ6E5jY5cvvThHQi1fSlPNtDNPCl97blHzGOeXof6YoyHOzbR8yJHVRdIc-6xSSb556XaqccQ7Sd9oIetwoWhgUb_lKuZXfi9R8D2YbfA7NJ4BLK3AA40YCrwpZi8NAs9eQav4aj56SdNSR_XGtC00fRYu6M_nL4DyK7rwRU9QZSIBjYV2p_Zluk0ylqaQhc.o1nlbBYirBUDss-4IMAbQ-0SIYmk-QIMMSydRmINzh8&dib_tag=se&keywords=silver+rub+n+buff&qid=1755164156&sprefix=silver+rub%2Caps%2C112&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1
