The Oliver Lamp is a captivating example of design merging with 3D printing technology, enabling enthusiasts to independently produce a piece of home décor. This lamp consists of three main parts, all printable in PLA:
Base: The foundation of the lamp, which not only supports the rest of the structure but also incorporates a handy groove for the passage of the power cable, keeping the design clean and uncluttered. The base is designed with a standard M10x1 threaded collar that fits an E14 lamp holder, ensuring that the lampshade and bulb remain securely attached.
Central Decor: This element, which fits into the base, adds a unique aesthetic touch to the lamp. It is the only component that requires tree-like supports during printing. After printing, it can be easily fixed to the base with a bit of superglue, following the positioning guides etched onto the base itself.
Lampshade: The final element to be assembled, the lampshade provides the finishing touch to the lamp. It mounts onto the base and is held in position by two collars designed for the threaded E14 lamp holder.
The free model of the "Oliver" lamp comes with the Sparks3D logo, but supporters who subscribe to the support or commercial plans gain access to a brand-free model. Included in the project is an optimized 3mf file for Bambu Lab printers, with recommended printing parameters: 0.4 mm nozzle, 0.2 mm layer height. The printing specifications for each part are:
These parameters ensure that each part is printed with the strength and aesthetics required to make the lamp not only functional but also visually pleasing. The thoughtfully designed lamp allows for simple assembly, with the lamp intuitively and securely coming together.
