Hex Table Lamp

A black and orange hexagon table lamp, Perfect for your Prusa workspace!

Print instructions

To make the lamp lamp you need to print the following:

• 4x Hex Lamp Side Frame
• 1x Hex Lamp Top Frame
• 1x Hex Lamp Base
• 4x Hex Lamp Side Panes
• 1x Hex Lamp Top Panes

You will need this USB lamp, widely available on the internet:
DZYDZR 3W USB LED Light Magnetic Lamp
The lamp does generate a small amount of heat but I have tested it for many hours and there are no problems.

Alternatively you can bundle a string of USB fairy lights inside but the effect is not so good due to the uneven distribution of light.

I printed the frame parts in Prusament galaxy black PLA on the textured PEI sheet using the default Prusament PLA profile in Prusaslicer.

I printed the coloured panes Basicfil PLA on the textured PEI sheet using the default Prusament PLA profile in Prusaslicer modified to a bed temperature of 65° and no fan.

Assembly

1. Fit all the Panes into the Side Frames and Top, they will need a firm press fit into the pockets. Make sure the corners are fully pressed in.

2. Fit the lamp into the pocket in the Base and pass the cable through the slot at the back.

3. Fit the left and back Frames into the slots in the Base, make sure the identification notch is downwards.

4. Fit the front and right Frames into the slots in the Base, make sure the identification notch is downwards.

5. Fit the Top Frame over the front, back and side Frames and gently press it down. It should fit easily.

Your Hex Lamp is now finished, enjoy!

Tips
The parts are dimensioned to fit perfectly on my Stock Prusa Mini but I would suggest printing a couple of individual Panes to test for fit before printing the full pane sets.

If you find the Panes are too loose you can either increase the X & Y scaling or put a dab of superglue on the edges before fitting them. Take care to avoid getting glue on the visible faces.

If you find the Panes are too tight you can reduce the X & Y scaling.
