Lavalamps are awesome right?
But in 2016 we have these amazing technologies like addressable LEDstrips, microcontrollers and a buzzing DIY electronics crowd.
Because of all that i made this lavalamp.
You are free to make your own, i might even send you the openScad file if you are interested, i just wont put it here because it is a mess. ;)
Wou will need to put something shiny in the lamp.
I used a 10mm aluminium rod and a usblinky kit [0].

Printer:
The machine with the bing.
Rafts:
Yes
Supports:
No
Resolution:
0.3mm
Infill:
100%
Notes:
LAMP:
The lamp itself took about 60 hours to print.
Using 100% infill is important, also use CLEAR filament as it is a good light guide.
Use a brim for the lamp and no support structure.
STAND/SOCKET:
You dont need a brim for the stand but make sure to use build plate touching support material.
I used black filament, white might also look good.
Insert the Ledstrips
and attach the controller (usblinky[0] in my case).
