Description

This print is designed to turn a 6 inch Philips Hue downlight into a desktop accent light or hanging lamp.  I'm unsure of the Euro sizes, but there's a chance this will fit one of them.

You will need: 
3xM4 heat inserts
3xM4x16mm screws
Lamp Cables (I used these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B095WF9MMT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

Wanted to install these Hue Downlights in my home but found out my ceilings were too thin to contain the lights.  Decided to turn these into a “wife alarm” desk lamp.  She has a tendency to sneak up on me, but pair this with a motion sensor and a flashing pattern, now that's a thing of the past.  These make great accent lighting for a room that shoots upwards at a 45-degree angle when laying on one of the 12 faceted sides.  

Disclaimers: 

  • I have not attempted to print or use the ones with a hook, thus am not sure if the hook is large enough to have good layer adhesion to hold the weight.  
  • Please solder/connect wires together at your own risk.  I am not teaching you how to do this.
     

Printed the “Lid” the following settings:
PLA (These are 9w max lights, so it's low heat producing)

0.6mm nozzle
0.6mm line width* Wall thicknesses are 2mm/2.4mm
205°c
100% fan after layer 4
0.3mm layer height
70mm/s
Supports when printing with large part of base on bottom, no supports needed if printing with top of lid on bed.
4 perimeters
100% infill - just in case there were any remaining gaps in the print… there shouldn't be if using 0.6mm nozzle.  If using 0.4mm nozzle, you may want to go this route.

I printed the base with roughly the same settings but made the following changes:
20% infill
3 perimeters.

*If you're using 0.4mm nozzle I would recommend printing V1 that uses 2.0mm thick walls and using a 0.5mm line width.
 

To assemble:

  1. Print base
  2. Print lid of choice
  3. Press heat inserts into base
  4. Flip 3x celing retention legs into recesses to hold secure to base
  5. Insert cable through lid hole
  6. Clip adapter from Hue Light and connect to cable already inserted through lid. (you may need to strip wiring)
  7. Pull excess wiring through back and secure with 3xM4 screws.

You now have a downlight lamp!
(Ignore my ugly prints.  I don't own a Prusa (yet…)!)
