Modern Dolphin String Lamp

 

This 3D printable model features a dolphin in mid-leap. Suspended within a minimalist frame that houses two RGBW pucks. The dolphin appears to be “floating” in midair, supported by an array of fine vertical  strings that create a striking visual effect reminiscent of water streams or rain. 

 

 

 Ideal as a desk ornament, lamp accent, or display piece, this design captures both the grace of marine life and the sophistication of contemporary art.

SPECIAL NOTE!!!!!
 

Try not to use the Super Tack plate, taking the print off may damage the strings. Most models with strings only use a single 0.24 layer high string, I use two. That way, if one fails, the other usually does not. There are other variations on the way, such as AMS painted, strings different color and support for the lamp and waterproof pucks.  But, you also need to have proper adhesion, clean your plate and watch the print so you get the best results possible.

 

To light it you will need the standard 3AAA RGBW pucks from bambu lab, two in total.

Relatively simple, assemble the two halves using an assembly jig in the profile, it is basically two rings that will fit exactly to the two halves, just make sure you put a paper down so the glue doesn't leak and ruin your table (ask me how I know). There are nubs in the provided bases and it will keep it in place for a desktop stand, but carrying it around without gluing it, is not advised… if you are happy with it and do not wish to reuse the base for my other models, go ahead and glue it.


Also, DO NOT change layer size because then the mid air strings may fail.  Any issues, let me know.
