If you are looking for a lamp with a Venus Flytrap esque vibes, look no further! This is a Crash Bandicoot inspired lamp, which uses an e14 light bulb and a a cord set (standard ~27mm outer thread diameter, with a loose power cord as seen in one on the pictures). Check out the lamp in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqEHwvnN61s
The Base was weighted using plaster, but you can use what ever material you wish inside the two cavities on it.
You can use what ever strong glue you wish, cyanoacrylate or epoxy are recommended.
There is file for testing the threads before printing the Head, make sure it threads in nicely to the bulb holder.
Be sure to do follow your county's laws and regulations for electrical work before doing any hardware connections!
Putting one together is simple:
Print all parts
Paint the teeth of the head part white
Insert the weight on the Base and seal the cavities with glue (Left and right Covers)
Insert the power cord through the base and the Stem
Thread in the e14 lamp holder and connect the cord and strain relief to it
Glue the Stem to the Base
Glue the Head to the Stem
Glue the Base Center Cover
Form the leaves using boiling water (dip it in and bend to desired shape)
Glue the Leaves to the Stem
Insert the bulb
Done!

The Stem is a tricky print, as it is tall and the ring has steep overhangs. You might want to do a test print of just the ring before wasting time and material.
