Lantern log - Mechanically Dimming Lamp with Real Log Texture
Instructions Hardware Filaments
This design was a collaboration with OHR DESIGN
Lantern Log - Advanced I designed this lamp in collaboration with OHR Design. We combined their super unique dimmable lamps with a photo scanned tree texture from Gazzaladra. We then reimagined it to make it fully 3D printable to create the most amazing lamp, that only requires the addition of a light.
How to Assemble? There is an Assembly Guide in the PDF when you download. And there is also an Assembly Video Here
**But how does it work? ** Each of the log segments is linked to an inner gear, so when the lever is twisted, all the log fins rotate out. This allows you precise control over the level of light. This mechanism took a few months, and a ton of iterations to perfect.
Where did the idea come from? This design came about after seeing one of OHR Designs cool lamps. I was working on designing the Forest Chess Set, and thought it would be amazing if you could turn a piece of nature like a log, into am functional lamp. After chatting for a few weeks, we got started on the design together.

Great design. Wasn't expecting it to be so large but I like it. A few suggestions. The little tabs that pinch the socket are very thin and snap off with the slightest force. The base that holds the socket need some finger holes to make it easier to unscrew to replace the bulb. Might not be an issue if I had the longer bulbs you suggested but my fat fingers won't allow for a bulb change from the top.
Also, if you could add a diffuser that can be screwed into the top so when looking down into the lamp you won't see the bulb would be awesome.
Yes, I had the same reaction to the size. I had the size in my head, but as the base was printing, I remember thinking "oh my, that's much larger than I was thinking". But I think my wife is going to like it nevertheless.
Would you consider adding a mini verson of this lamp?
We don’t have a plan to as of right now.
Does this need supports? after slicing it's stating it does however, I see others say no supports. I have a X1 and A1
You shouldn't need supports but you may need Brims on some parts depending on how good your bed adhesion is.
Looks like the bottom of Fin #6 might be what's causing the slicing warning. Took a screenshot in Bambu studio, but can't attach it here. I noticed it because I checked on the progress after I started the print and the bottom corner of that fin was printed without support and looked almost like it had lifted from the print bed.
does anyone have a link to where to get the lights from for the light log? Much appreciated
Its linked in the description and in the Instructions (:
