Chemical lamp
Published 2020-04-14T16:32:28+00:00 • Remixed from LOW-POLY TWIST MOOD LAMP
This is a lamp with several elements that make references to chemistry. The most notorious is the periodic table, which is a lithophane, with a light you can see the chemical elements, designed for an easily rotate motion. In addition, you can see an Erlenmeyer flask, very commonly used in chemical laboratories and a classic representation of the atomic orbitals and the water molecule. You can see the model in 3D here, and watch the final result here.
NOTE: This design was made taking into account the indications of the #ElectromakerKitsCompetition, as well as questions to optimize the design for 3D printing. For more information and to get the missing files (Base, Base Cover, LED Holder) click here.
Periodic table:
- *Print the periodic table with a matte white filament, suitable for lithophanes.
- *The design able you to fit it in the Erlenmeyer top and rotate it.
- *This is the only file that requires supports (see the attached image or click here).
- *Use 100% infill and an extrusion width not greater than 0.4 mm.
- *A layer height of 0.2 mm is ok, more than this is not recommendable.
- *As possible, print it slowly, 40 mm/s as max speed is ok.
- For more tips to print these vertical lithopanes types, watch this video.
Erlenmeyer:
- *It's recommended to print the “Erlenmeyer top file” with a translucent filament, to imitate the glass so that it can light up.
- *The files “Erlenmeyer top” and “Erlenmeyer bottom” are designed to fit easily between them.
- *You can paint easily with white, the details of the Erlenmeyer.
Water molecule:
- *This is an extra addition, Print it if you want.
It is designed by parts, to fit between them and no use supports. - *Use a technique of filament change in the middle of the file “Water molecule bond.”. If you don't know how to configure it, you can try manually.
- *Use glue to fix the water molecule in the position that you like the most, above the LED holder.
