So I have had an old discontinued Ikea Lival Lamp lying dormant for years as the  articulated arm to clamp base snapped  as it was just thin stamped metal.

So i finally got round to modelling and printing a replacement.

I have included the Fusion 360 file and a STEP file if anyone wants to mod. 

You will either need longer than original M4 bolts or 6x4 threaded inserts you can melt into one side of the base having widened the holes accordingly. This should allow you to use the oroginal bolts.

Printed in PLA @ 100% infill for strength.

Lay model flat so the round peg is on the print bed and the arm holes are highest area on Z axis for addit strength.

So I have had an old discontinued Ikea Lival Lamp lying dormant for years as the plastic swivel arm between the lamp and the main articulated arms snapped.

So i finally got round to modelling and printing a replacement.

I have included the Fusion 360 file and a STEP file if anyone wants to mod. I was thinking about a 14/-20 adaptor for things like the [Universal Phone Tripod Mount](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2423960) by [jakejake](https://www.thingiverse.com/jakejake/designs)

There is also a replacement articulated arm to clamp base I have modelled as mine also snapped as it was just thin stamped metal.

This is an alternative bed mesh image to complement the profile update plugin published by Toylerrr as [https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4899915 for Cura 4.11.](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4899915)

After installing the plugin in the Thing above, locate your Cura meshes folder which should be in (on PC Win10);

This PC>[Boot Drive Letter]:>Users>[your user ID]>App Data>Roaming>Cura>[target version number]>meshes

Rename the current Neptune2.stl as .old in case you need to revert then paste the new STL provided.

Enjoy

Edit:

The plugin will work in version 4.12.1 but you may get a configuration message error when you restart Cura. It seems it does not like bringing over the config data from the previous version

The info below assumes you have not yet un-installed the previous version of Cura that you were using (in my case 4.11).

If you have not set up any other printer profiles in the previous Cura version then you can:

Choose the "reset" option offered in the error message. THIS WILL DELETE ALL PRINTER CONFIG INFO AND PROFILES.

Restart Cura 4.12.1 to ensure errors have gone.

Re-install the Toylerrr plugin and restart.

Add Elegoo Neptune2 printer and restart.

OR If you have set up any other printer profiles in the previous Cura version and do not want to lose them using the "reset" option

First, backup your definitions, extruders and meshes folders in your AppData/roaming>Cura>[previous Cura version] folder (to be safe (they should all still exist in this folder if as you will be editing the 4.12.x folder.))

Then delete any reference to neptune2 in the AppData>Cura>4.12.x;
definitions folder
extruders folder
meshes folder

This should hopefully allow you to preserve any other printer configs you wish to keep.

Restart Cura 4.12.x to ensure errors have gone.

Re-install the Toylerrr plugin and restart.

Add Elegoo Neptune2 printer and restart.

NOTE: I would advise always keeping your previous stable and working version of Cura installed until you have tested and are happy with the performance and stability of a newly installed version.
