Description
This ghost lamp uses black eye inserts, printed separately, for a spooky ghost glare. The shell is 2mm thick for a sturdy lamp that will last. A lamp kit using a C7/E12 LED bulb will be needed to complete the project. Lamp kits are readily available on Amazon, Hobby Lobby, and Ace Hardware, and other stores. A photo of a lamp kit is included.
This ghost lamp was printed using Polymaker Polylite White PLA filament, which has good light transmission. Most any white filament should work fine, especially white filaments commonly used to make lithophanes, such as eSun white PLA+.
