Mercury Desk Lamp
Greetings!
I'm excited to present you with my Mercury Desk Lamp. This unique piece is sure to add a celestial glow to your workspace.
Here's what you'll need to assemble this lamp: a lamp socket and a bulb. I personally prefer a multicolored LED bulb, but the choice is yours. Please note, however, that the components are compatible only with a specific Lamp Socket available on eBay.

On to the print settings: For this project, you only need to print the files which are numerically labelled.
Mercury: Opt for a 0.4 mm nozzle. Alternatively, set your print to a line height of 0.2 mm and a width of 0.4 mm. Be aware that the domes can be challenging to print. I recommend reducing the print speed to 50% when you reach layer 670. Use 100% infill with concentric infill, or adjust your wall count to a high figure, such as 40. For material, any basic white PLA should suffice. I've found that Sunlu White PLA+ gives great results. Please steer clear of matte or glitter materials as they won't produce the desired effect. The good news is, you won't need any supports!
Holder: Unlike the Mercury part, you'll need to print the holder with supports.
Voila! Your Mercury Desk Lamp is ready to brighten up your space. If you've enjoyed creating this lamp, please consider supporting my filament needs by buying me a coffee at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Ri0m0. As a student, every bit of support helps!
