This lamp is a three-dimensional high-res lithophane representation of the planet Venus, designed to encapsulate the surface details of the planet. When a bulb is placed inside, it illuminates the intricate topography, mimicking the glowing appearance of Venus in the night sky. The lamp stands on a simple yet elegant triangular base that supports the spherical lithophane, creating an ambient and celestial light feature suitable for any space. This design is available for 3D printing, allowing for a personal touch of astronomy in the comfort of your home. Made using 3dSolarLithophane script on github, bayonet lock designed by me.

Why is there no print profile?

• because makerworld can't process such a high definition file in set amount of time they specified, when you'll slice the Venus, it can take around 3-10 minutes, depends on your machine
• you can download attached 3MF files as print profiles
  • venus_0_20mm - 0.20mm layer height - 16 hours print
  • venus_0_16mm - 0.16mm layer height - 21 hours print

Size

• High-res Venus Globe, diameter approx.: 200 mm / 7.8 in
• Hole for light bulb, approx. diameter: 55 mm / 2 in

Lamp kit

• E26/27 lamp socket, 12 ft braided cord, on/off switch - amazon
• For my fellow Czechs (that's what I bought) - Allegro
• or Poland Allegro
• Buy compatible LED light bulbs, 25-40W should be fine

Print instructions and time

• 21 hours on 0.16mm resolution (on pictures)
• 16 hours on 0.20mm resolution
• Supports: no!
• Infill: 100%
• I used Sunlu PLA+ Beige, but any light color should work. Venus is actually white (or light beige).
