SUPER MARIO Desk Lamp

I designed this model for a friend who’s a huge fan of Nintendo, and the result turned out great! So here’s the model for you to enjoy too.

• USB-powered light
• ON/OFF switch: Activated by pushing the light in the plant’s mouth
• Storage options: USB flash drive, Nintendo Switch games, and micro SD storage in the pot
• Customizable pot organizers
• No soldering required
• Only one extra component needed: IKEA USB light
• Adjustable plant head: The head can be oriented using a ball joint

1. The POT_A.stl file includes a print-in-place hinge. I recommend setting your printer’s flow to 0.9 and the temperature to 200°C to easily unlock the hinge after printing.
2. To make the ball joint in the plant’s head last longer without loosening, apply a bit of nail polish.
3. For a natural look on the leaves, dip them in boiled water for a few seconds (make sure to keep the connector out of the water so it retains its shape). This allows you to bend the leaves for an organic appearance.
4. If possible, print the lips with a resin printer for a much better finish and fewer support structures to remove.
