wifes lamp repair request

3D Printing Printroom
#1

While moving some furniture I damaged that cheap and ugly lamp in our hall.

My wife requested that I repair it with my 3D printing equipment and of course I did (easy model, just a cylinder with holes).

I found the ABS I used to get printed with some structure that gives it a special look and the color came out a bit beige (it was told to be white ABS).

Switching the lights on also showed a more yellow look wich looks nice and warm (think I will test it again with a cold white LED bulb).

Only drawback was the M200s Z-axis limit, it would need about 7cm more to print a correct replica and hide the inner sockets cable mount on the top.

But I smiled and told my wife that I simply will buy another printer with a larger build volume and do a bigger lamp shade then.  :ph34r:

Look great!! But do you have any problem with heat from light bulb?

Maybe over time he would.. I printed a new Crockpot handle for the glass lid because ours broke. It just happened to be in the oven with other lids when my wife started the oven at 425° Fahrenheit. After about 20 minutes I noticed it.. Handle warped a little but it's still on there.. No real damage..

Good stuff Kyle, great to season dinner with a dash of ABS too
