Overview:
This vibrant hot air balloon lamp is designed to bring a splash of color and creativity into your space. Perfect for DIY enthusiasts, it can be customized in various colors and serves as a functional lamp!
Printing Details:
- Layer Height: All parts printed at 0.2mm, except for the Cloud Base, which uses adaptive layers in Prusa Slicer.
- VASE Mode: All balloon segments are printed in VASE mode. Detailed instructions included in the PDF document.
Filament Recommendations:
- Filament of Choice:
- Polyterra PLA
- PolyLite PETG Transparent (ideal for transparent parts; other transparent or translucent PLAs can be used as well).
PDF Guide:
- A printable PDF document is provided, which can be scaled 1:1 on an A4 printer for easy reference.
Print Times:
- Longest Print: Cloud Base (adaptive layers) - approx. 9 hours at 30mm/s. If printed at 0.2mm layer height, it takes less time.
- Other parts have significantly shorter print times.
Build Plate Requirements:
- Minimum size: 200mm x 200mm x 189mm to print all parts as designed.
- If your build plate is smaller, scaling down by 5% to 7% is an option, but be mindful that this will affect color change layers, requiring adjustments in your slicer.
