Description
I printed the original moon lamp by @FrankDeschner but it met an unfortunate faith when my daughter knocked it onto the floor.
So i decided to rebuild it…Bigger…Better…More stable!
My printer has a build volume of 256*256*256, which roughly equates to the original globe scaled up by 124%.
I thought i could improve the stability and child proofing factor by adding more weight to the legs, ie designing a whole new base for the globe. Also, just scaling up the legs wouldn't work as the hole for the bulb fitting would also be scaled up. I remixed the original tripod legs into a sturdier construction and hey presto…moon lamp 2.0.
Inside is the following lamp fitting:

and an Ikea Trådfri e27 RGB light bulb.
The globe was printed with 6 walls, 6 top layers, 6 bottom layers and no infill. This is almost a 2 day print even on the BL.
The stand was printed with 5 walls, 5 top layers, 5 bottom layers and 15% infill.
Happy printing!
