Mushroom wall lamp “Fomes Fomentarius”
A unique wall lamp based on a 3d scan of the mushroom “Fomes Fomentarius”.
Instructions
- Get an LED puck cabinet light like the Bambulab LED lamp kit 001.
- Print all parts. Make sure the bottom is printed in light or translucent filament while the top should not let any light through.
- You can either screw or glue the holder onto your wall. There are various glue or tape products for wall fixation out there. I used 3M wall mount Tape. Diameter of the two screw holes: 5,5mm.
- Attach the light with the tape from the lamp kit.
- Glue the bottom into the top.
- Insert the shelf by moving it horizontally onto the holder until the holder is completely inside the cutout.
Size assembled: 180 x 130 x 105 mm
Print settings Important: Do not use any other light source than LED with this Design. Depending on the strength of your LED certain parts of the print might warm up. Your filament has a certain heat deflection temperature that defines at which temperature deformation might occur. Make sure to build a safe product by verifying that the print is not affected by the amount of heat that your light source emits! If you are uncertain or have little experience in building electrified products, please consult a professional! Usually, a strong LED bulb does not get hotter than 50 degrees Celsius while regular PLA does not deform under 58 degrees Celsius. Those are approximate numbers, and you need to verify that for your own product selection.
Required build volume: 160 x 160 x 140 mm Material usage: 250 g
Material: Filament that can handle the heat that your light source emits. Print direction: stls are rotated correctly, check images Support: none, you can add a little to the holder cut out, but it is not required. Nozzle size: 0,4 mm Line width: 0,4 mm Layer height 0,2 mm Infill: 15% Build plate adhesion type: none































lovely!
Oh this turned out lovely!
what should the shell thickness and top/bottom thickness for each of the parts be?
it does not really matter, use your defaults! The thin part where the light shines through is think so of you have 2+ walls it will already be filled. I used the bambulab 0.2mm defaul profile.
What filament did you use in the photos?
Polymaker!
