Reminiscent of the renowned pastry from Bordeaux (France) le Canelé Bordelais, the main design element of this lamp is known to french mechanics engineers as cannelure.
I designed this lamp with the goal to utilize the spiral-vase 3D printing mode to create a beautiful object, with a minimalist, retro, industrial style.
It looks really good!
Thank you! I made 2 to go on each sides of the bed. They give a nice cost atmosphere to the bedroom. Also bright enough to read comfortably.
That sounds nice
Wow! What a beautiful lamp and really nice instructions. Thank you for sharing this. Assume the 3mf files would take care of all those tweaks and make the print pretty straightforward?
If I’m willing to sacrifice some filament think perhaps just doing a 90% infill in the area where you put the plaster would be sufficient for ballast and allow me to avoid the plaster work?
Yes, 3mf files have all the tweaks ready, but it’s always a good idea to double check. Let me know on printables if you have any issues.
90% infill would be a lot of plastic. Much more expensive than the plaster, but you do you. For info, the finished base with the plaster weights something like 350g and it’s a similar weight to the shade. PrusaSlicer give an estimate of the material use after slicing. I would recommend to do it only if the base would be at least 300g otherwise the lamp might not be very stable. Maybe you can optimize things by having 100% infill for a portion at the bottom (top of the model) and a 5% infill for the rest, to make the center of mass as low as possible.
Another alternative could be epoxying some beefy metal nuts around the inner perimeter, mostly towards the bottom.
Great writeup!
You made me want to read it but now I’m getting error 500. Is it still clickable for you?
Link seems fine on my end. Otherwise search for “Lamp cannelé design - Vase mode - Bed side lamp” on printables.com
oh that is a good write up! Do you have a blog?
Thank you. No, I don’t have a blog. I do a project worth posting maybe once a year at most.
Short blogs with few but high quality articles are actually the salt of the earth.
I encourage you to do it, there are many options like Hugo, and your intellectual property will never be locked in a company’s app store (Prusa seems trustworthy for now, but as we’ve seen, lockout is always just a TOS change away.)
You already have the writeup and hosting a static site on github pages or similar doesn’t incur costs, so the only thing you need is some time and a domain. 🙂
tried it on my pc and no issue. must have been a phone ad block issue.
