Developing Dragon Curve Fractal Lamp.

Developing dragon curve fractal lamp shade and base.

I was inspired by Henry Segerman.

Compatible with Bambu LED lamp kit 001.

Note that this is a very high poly-count project and takes a long time to slice (on my old computer).

The main project file includes 3 different lamp bases and 2 different shades of varying complexity. All are interchangeable. Select and print a base and a shade. Thread the LED switch through the cable channel and place the puck in the tray. Orients and gently pry the bottom edge of the shade over the top of the base.

I will try to add profiles later for individual bases and shades. Also additional shades are in development.

All of the color changes are filament layer changes.

This fractal rotates and doubles the root shape through an iterative process. Each layer represents an iteration. Placing a color change or line in the slicer at each iteration layer helps illustrate the development of the curve through the iterations. Because it can be difficult to estimate the exact layer where an iteration occurs, in the .step files I've included stacks of boxes that have the precise height of the iteration layers. You may use these to set your own color changes then discard or drag them off the plate before printing.

Colors selected in the project file are somewhat random, not necessarily as seen in the photos. Some items may use more than 4 colors. You of course must assign the colors of filament you have.

Bambu LED lamp kit 001 and Antoten LED pucks of the same 60mm dimension work. There have been some minor revisions to the base design since the photos were taken, but functionally inconsequential. The size and shape of the cable channel was maximized to accommodate a greater variety of switches.

Step files may require reorientation.
