  • Change the size – usually lamps work better between 100mm and 150mm across.
  • Keep your file saved as .STL if you’re going to 3D print it.

🖨️ Step 2: 3D Printing the Lamp

  • Try white PLA plastic if you want softer light spread.
  • Recommended printer settings:
  • Layer height: between 0.16 or 0.2 mm
  • Infill: 100%
  • Shells: 3–4
  • Print speed runs between 40 to 50 mm/s
  • You can print:
  • Cylinder lamp (bent picture)
  • Moon light (round shape)
  • A box-shaped light piece – each side shows a separate picture

⚙️ Step 3: Assembling the Base and Lighting
