An adjustable, articulating task lamp that clamps to any surface up to 1.75" thick! The light is attached with a ball and socket joint so it can swivel 360 degrees. The light is rechargeable via USB-C and can be dimmed with a long tap.
Supports Supports are necessary for one side of the extension arms, the ball joint, and the tap light housing.
Support settings I used:
Extension Arms
- Normal, Snug supports
- I used PETG as a support interface. This is not necessary but results in a much cleaner surface. PETG and PLA do not stick together so the PETG can be peeled right off. If using Bambu or OrcaSlicer, set Support/raft interface to PETG, Top Z distance to 0, and Top interface spacing to 0. Note that you must have an AMS to do this. You can absolutely use normal PLA supports for this, but the PETG interface is what I used.
Ball Joint
- Normal, Snug supports
Tap Light Housing
- Tree supports
Scaling This one cannot be scaled as it is designed to perfectly fit the tap light.

Assembly
- Insert Mount Screw through bottom of mount
- Thread Mount Screw Cap onto Mount Screw
- Line up an extension arm to the Mount and insert Screw through hole
- Thread on Screw Cap tightly. Note that it possible for the screw and cap to loosen over time. You can apply a small amount of glue inside the cap threads if you want to be sure it never comes loose. Or you can just retighten it if it comes loose.
- Repeat steps 3 and 4 to add a second extension arm
- Attach the ball joint
- The tap lights come with a bunch of sticky backed magnets. Insert the included magnet into the recess in the Tap Light Housing
- Press the Tap Light Housing onto the Ball Joint
