WolfCreate: Hyades Lamp

Hyades lamps project

A modern, stylish and impressive lamp that can be printed entirely at home.

The internal lamp emits a diffuse light that creates a great atmosphere. Depending on the light source - cold white LED or amber-colored spotlight - the intensity can be changed and a completely new mood can be created.

The lamp is suitable for wall mounting, as a table lamp or for the floor. Of course, it is only partially splash-proof and should not be installed in flower beds or on walls that are exposed to the elements without protection.

I saw a similar lamp in a hotel a good 10 years ago. It stuck with me, so I created a replica from memory. I came up with the three-part design myself and spent many hours refining it until the wall bracket, lamp holder and lamp fitted together perfectly. As it doesn't work without the socket and brackets, 3 parts have to be added - but you should be able to get them almost anywhere.

The 3-piece print consists of the lamp, the wall mount and the lamp holder.

Dimensions: Ø 250mm

3 parts must be added: A lamp socket (E14, diameter 2.8cm (e.g. Bauhaus) and two retaining springs (for ceiling spots) 15mm / 60mm (only mandatory for wall mounting).

There are 2 versions of the wall mounting: One has a cable grommet for use as a table or floor lamp.

There is a second version of the lamp holder for 3.5cm sockets. If you need a different socket size, please write me a message.

A modern, stylish and impressive lamp that can be printed entirely by yourself at home.

The internal lamp emits a diffused light that spreads a great atmosphere. Depending on the illuminant - cold white LED or amber spotlight, the intensity can be changed and a completely new mood can be created.

The lamp is suitable for wall mounting, as a table lamp or even for the floor. Of course, it is only conditionally splash-proof and should not be mounted in beds or on walls that are exposed to the weather without protection.

I saw a similar lamp in a hotel a good 10 years ago. It stuck with me, so I created a likeness from memory. The three-part design is completely my own invention and refined in many hours of work until the wall mount, lamp holder and lamp fit together perfectly. Since it doesn't work without a socket and brackets, 3 parts need to be added - but you should be able to get them almost anywhere.

In general:

I sliced the model with Snapmakers Luban and chose the quick print. To make it beautiful and flawless, you should choose a higher print resolution.

I recommend printing an adhesion enhancement for the lamp: it would be a shame if the sphere came loose towards the end due to the large lever and the print was not complete.

Quick print:

Layer height (24mm)

Speed (160mm /s)

Model structure: Thin

Infill: 15%

Support: Only for the brackets

Fine print:

Layer height (12mm)

Speed (100mm /s)

Model structure: Normal

Infill: 15%

Support: Yes (depends on the printer)

Holder & mount:

Adhesion: None

Support: Yes

Print duration:

Quick print: 5.5 hours (both fixtures in one print)

Fine print: 20 hours (both holders in one print)

Material consumption: 120g

Lamp:

Adhesion: Depending on the printer, "Brim" or "Raft" so that the sphere does not detach from the surface.

Support: Yes/No. With Support, the lower layers become more beautiful (alternative: sanding): The printing time is extended by approx. 100% with support.

Printing time:

Quick print without support: 23 hours

Fine print with support: 180 hours+

Material consumption:

Quick print without support: 550g

Fine print with support: 1350g
