THE MODEL :

Capture the essence of a forgotten cathedral with this Gothic Arch Luminous Hourglass. Designed specifically for 3D printing enthusiasts who love merging historical aesthetics with modern tech, this model is more than just a decorative piece—it’s a functional light fixture.

The frame features highly detailed filigree and pointed arches, optimized to print cleanly even in matte filaments. The central chamber is designed to hold a standard hourglass insert or a 3D-printed translucent bulb. What sets this model apart is the internal hollow base, specifically engineered to house small LED pucks or fairy lights. When illuminated, the light diffuses through the glass, casting intricate, atmospheric shadows across your workspace.

Whether you are looking for a centerpiece for your Dark Academia library or a unique D&D prop, this hourglass offers a rewarding print with a high-end, mystical finish. A special hourglass lamp.

Printing Features:

• Modular Design: Easy to assemble and hide wiring/batteries.
• No Supports Needed: Optimized geometry for clean bridging on most modern printers.
• Light-Ready: Pre-modeled cable routing for a seamless LED integration.
  
  The inner bulb was printed using Clear/Transparent PETG with low infill to maximize light diffusion.

INFORMATION:

A common question is: why do these prints require supports when they could be printed lying flat?

For my designs, I deliberately choose to print them standing upright rather than flat, in order to achieve the best possible level of detail. I prioritize visual quality over saving a few grams of filament.

Of course, you are free to change the print orientation in your slicer if you prefer.
