Tiffany like desk lamp

Hey!

This Christmas I was thinking of a gift for my sister who likes stained glass art and I figured I'd give a shot to modelling and printing a lamp mimicking the classic Tiffany lamp. There's not much to it, you might have to get a little creative with the light, however what worked for me was a fairly standard, at least here in Europe, bulb socket with an E27 light bulb. However if you want to remodel the base of the lamp yourself, see I believe the 4th image for the dimensions of the side panel assembly your new base will have to accommodate for. 

The side panels are designed to accept four 5x3mm magnets for easier assembly as these magnets hold the 4 panels together before sliding them into the base, however they are not necessary as the panels are held in place by the base and what I call the top halo.

.3mf files are provided, open as project to get (hopefully) the correct print settings. The dragonfly_plates file is the pattern I made, if printing on a smooth PEI sheet, I recommend printing the face facing “outside” the lamp, i.e. potential observer, facing the PEI sheet and increasing the first layer extrusion.

In the photos, the following filaments were used:

 Base: https://azurefilm.com/product/pla-original-filament-marble/

Side panels and top halo: https://www.prusa3d.com/product/prusament-pla-prusa-galaxy-black-1kg/

Plates: https://shop.spectrumfilaments.com/product-eng-598-Filament-Spectrum-PLA-Pro-1-75mm-CORAL-1kg.html

I included an empty side panel template for convenience if you want to edit the STL file, hopefully that simplifies the process a little bit. Further on the scoring on the bottom of the base was intended to reduce warping I had some issues with, but otherwise has no other purpose.

If you want to design your own fitting plates for your side panel, I recommend simply creating a new sketch on the side panel you made and then extruding 1mm thick plates. Do not offset the sides of these plates as otherwise the fit will be too loose.

Optimizations to print settings should definitely be made, I did not toy around with them too much however as I was under a bit of a time pressure.

Enjoy the print and let me know if there's any additional information you'd need/want!

Happy printing!

(EDIT: Found this model: https://www.printables.com/model/952844-tiffany-table-lamp by @Immaginaecrea where the exact bulb socket I used is photographed, so I thought I'd post a link, also their lamp looks amazing, definitely check it out!)

(EDIT #2: My plates are meant to be painted/printed out of different colored filaments)
