Description

A modular wall light with multiple attachments (more coming soon!). Can also be used with a 1" (or 25mm) dowel. Current attachments:

Pendant light socket housing (can be used with a normal 9W LED bulb or a 9W LED grow bulb)
Small planter
Rechargeable tap light housing
Pencil cup

It mounts to the wall with two #8 - #10 x 1" screws spaced 16" apart vertically. The wall mount collars fit onto the screws with keyhole slots.

A couple notes for successful printing:

The set screws should be printed with a 99% infill
The tap light housing can either print in place or you can use the ball and socket version. If using the print in place version, the default seams will want to be placed on the inside corners of the swivel mechanism. I'd recommend painting your seams somewhere else to allow a clean gap on the swivel mechanism.

Supports Tree supports are needed for the USB-C charger opening on the tap light housing. Supports are not necessary for anything else.

Scaling I wouldn't recommend scaling anything on this one since it's all designed to fit together.

Orientation The light housing print upside down. The base, extension rod, and set screw print upright.

Print Settings .2mm layer height 15% grid infill (99% for the set screw) 2 walls

Not enough bed space to print the rod, so I scaled down to 94% and used a wooden dowel (broom handle) instead. Printed in matte PLA from Bambu, roughed it up with sandpaper and it looks like wood now. Set screws deteriorated and wouldn't hold so ended up glueing the top and bottom instead, sadly. Light and pot held fine though.

Used the existing rod pieces to create a m2f extension, with an added mount/support.

Suggested Light fixtures do come apart as described but definitely take some effort.

Lots of compliments on this piece. Thanks for creating!

I printed this on an A1 mini, including the dowel, which I had to heavily customize. I used the original dowel to create a custom male-to-female connector, and cropped the height of each dowel down to ~170mm, so they can print on my Bambu A1 Mini.

Also took a lot to figure out how to get the light cable through the hole running along the inside of the dowel. There is a bit that unscrews that really took some force and I didn't really think was going to budge.

But it was well worth the effort! Looks great, works great!

Absolutely beautiful light. Getting the cord to go through the rod requires something of a hat trick; would also suggest making the set screws have a shorter head, to allow spacing the planter further down. Used a different, 10W led grow light.

Would you be able to make a rod male or female on both ends so it could be longer than 2 pieces?

This is a solid suggestion. It would probably require more wall mounts for stability, but I like it!

any chance you got time to make this extension version ?

This looks fantastic. How did you add the "flare" to the lamp housing? Would you be able to share the file?

Which light did you use? I've been looking at mine and wondering how to fit a cord down such a narrow hole. Do parts of the light kit unscrew to push it through? I can't make sense of how the cord ends up inside this tube lol.

I love the look of this as a grow light much more than the touch light but am struggling to make sense of the wiring part and have held off on ordering the extra parts

You can take the pendant light kit apart to feed the cord through the post. Once you unscrew all the parts, you just have to loosen two screws that hold the wires onto the socket. Then you feed the wire through the post and put it all back together. It's pretty easy but maybe not super obvious how to initially get it all apart. I'll make a video showing how to do it!

You can no longer take these apart to access the screws (at least the ones I bought and they are the same ones you have in your amazon storefront) so the only way i see to do it, it to cut the wire and reconnect the cord.

I just ordered three from Amazon and was able to take them apart. the large screw part that comes off of the connector base took quite a bit of effort to detach. Once that comes off you can unscrew the tiny wire screws to disassemble completely.

Can you share link to the video? I’m looking to print this but I’m not sure how to run it through. Thanks!

I used Sansi's 10w bulbs - they're ~$4USD each if you get a 6 pack, love the optical lens and ventilated design.

The only way I could get the cord through was to cut it, and then solder/heatshrink it back together. Then hid the heatshrinked part inside the rod.

This is great! Is there an option that has a bigger planter pot? I like the pot that comes with this, just wish there was also a 4.5" version like The Rail includes. Any idea if that's in the works or a different similar one that I could mix and match?

Hello. Me too I need a longer set screw. the normal one and the 25mm one are the same dimensions...

thank you

Anychance you could edit these for a 180X180X180 A1 Mini bed? I don’t want to make it smaller and risk ruining the threads. Happy to have 2 joining parts with threads :) I tried in Fusion but I'm rubbish

Nossa, eu também gostaria disso. Todas as vezes que redimensionei proporcionalmente os projetos, não imprimem corretamente

Is there a reason I never see these printed in white? I'd like it in white, but am wondering if there is some reason I shouldn't.
