Lithophane Lamp for Bambu Lab LED Kit 001

Vertex Pillar Lamp

Bring a touch of modern art to your place with this Vertex Pillar Lamp. Unlike traditional photo-based lithophanes, this design uses an abstract, triangulated pattern to create a stunning 3D light effect. The varying wall thicknesses allow light to pass through at different intensities, revealing a complex, crystalline structure once switched on.

The project consists of two parts: the decorative shade and a sturdy, snap-fit base designed for the Bambu Lab LED Kit 001.

Features:

• Modern Aesthetic: Looks like a minimalist sculpture even when the light is off.
• Lithophane Effect: Depth and texture are created purely through light transmission.
• Print-Friendly: Optimized for printing without any supports.
• Stable Base: The base is designed to hold the shade securely in place.

Print Settings & Recommendations:

• Material: White PLA for the shade (best light diffusion)
• Layer Height: 0.16mm recommended for higher quality, for faster printing time 0.2mm
• Print speed: Outer walls 60mm/s, inner walls 100mm/s
• Infill and Walls: 100% Infill for the shade is essential to achieve the nice lithophane effect
• Walls: At least 3-4 wall loops to avoid caps
• Wall generator: Arachne for a consistent and cleaner print

 

It's also important to not change the painted seam line in the slicer to avoid gaps in the print!
Simply place the finished printed part on the base and flip the Z-seam to the back.
