Glass Block Lamp

GLASS BLOCK LAMP

This is my custom 3D-printed lamp, inspired by the iconic glass block designs from the 80s.

• The main body is printed in Bambu Lab PETG (olive), with a black PLA base and a black PETG lid for better heat resistance. 
• Vent holes on the bottom lid keep it cool while the warm light shines through the textured surface.
• The whole lamp is designed to snap together without glue, making assembly simple. If you want to make it permanent, just a small amount of superglue will do
• The front panels need a touch of glue to hold them in place.
• It uses Bambu Lab LED light kit

I plan to create more interchangeable front panels in the future, including a minimal block design and a version with a stand that supports a standard bulb.

This piece is part of my learning journey in 3D printing and design, and I’m excited to keep refining it as I go! If you’d like to support my work and help me keep creating new designs, you can do so here:

*In the photos the panels are just taped to the frame (You can see the tape on some of the photos better) because I was changing them a lot and didn't want them to be on permanently or damage them with super glue after taking them down. 

Please leave a comment and some pictures of your make, would love to see other colors :)

Happy printing!
