I installed auxiliary LED lighting on my desk, and it was great except the position of the LED strip that provided the best working light ended up shining right into my eyes. So I decided to design and print some lamp shades. My first print was a miserable failure, because of the overhang angle that I was required to get the light to cast across my whole work area. I decided to cut the shades into two pieces and assemble them afterwards. It turned out really great, but I can’t get a decent picture of them in action!
That is great! I cannot wait to get my 3D printer built, so I can do cool stuff like this!
Thanks! You will definitely enjoy it once you get it done @Bruce_Lunde
I have this exact problem. I’ve been using a scrap sheet of paper taped in front of them for about 4 years. Would you mind sharing the design? The way they connect looks cool. I also love how the infill shows through, I wonder what it would look like with the infill as a different color? Do the LED brackets attach through the holes? (I’m basing that on mine, which are Ikea Dioder, they have a little screw bracket.)
@Mandy_Ellifritz I don’t mind sharing the files. I made these in Autodesk inventor, so if you don’t have that program I can send an stl file. Do you want any specific text on the shades, or would you like them blank?
Blank please. I have a friend with AutoCAD, but I’m just learning Tinkercad, so the .STL would probably be best. Thanks!
@Mandy_Ellifritz I’ll clear the text and share a link sometime tomorrow when I get a chance.
Thank you! I’ll hangout a coupon code to you for my store!
@Mandy_Ellifritz I uploaded the files to dropbox, feel free to use them however you’d like. I hope they work out decently for you.
@Steven_North Thank you so much!
