Hey Folks, 

I created a Spongebob lamp for a colleague and thought, I'd share it with this awesome community.

It is supposed to be printed in separate parts on a Prusa XL. You might resize and/or paint it to be printed on any other printer as well. 
If you need parts with different heights for easier painting, just let me know and I can modify them (like the face, pants and shirt-tie parts).

For the different parts: 

  1. Sponge
    For simplicity it is a simple, single color part with 1,2mm thickness on front and back. I used tree support and a raft. Since it is 8cm deep, the supports were quiet easy to remove with my (small) hands. 
  2. Face and shirt-bowtie combination are just flat, so easy to print. 
    You might try to print those parts much flatter to get some translucent effect on them as well (and also avoid the infill pattern shining through).
  3. I printed the legs upside down with a raft and standard support. 
  4. Arms were printed lying flat with raft and standard supports you need to mirror the second one. 
  5. For the lamp's base (I am about to start printing) I added a bit of standard support with a 10° threshhold, though that might be a little bit difficult to remove. 
  6. The shoes are printed upside down. I changed the z-distance for the supports to 0,1 from the 0,15mm standard and used a raft. I added an additional shoe ("shoe v2"), slightly wider and a bit flattened. Choose which you think fits best. 
  7. Except the above mentioned, I used basic settings temperature adjusted to the filaments I used. All other parts should be easy to print.

For ease of assigning colors the different parts are labeled: 
br for brown
b for blue
s for black
g for yellow
r for red
w for white
p for pink/pattricks body color
… the numbers behind that are mostly random.


Please let me know if you encounter any problems or need adjusted parts, like for painting or different sizes. 

Enjoy printing!

Bill of materials: 

2-4x M3x10 and up to m3x14mm screws to screw the lamp socket holder, pants and the base together (it is stable using 2 screws)


2x M3x8mm to secure the socket to the socketholder (if you use the same one)


1xG4 socket like this:

1x 12V LED lamp 5W for G4 socket like this: 
https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0833XCLKV?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1
Please make sure it is an LED so it doesn't get to hot!

1x 12V power supply

1x matching barrel jack

2x approximately 50-60cm leads

Some glue - To avoid vapor deposites from super glue, I tested “Revell Contact liquid Special” which worked great. 

simple soldering equipment

 

* Updated the pants do have the bottom in the same color as the pants themselves (and added the necessary hole for the cable :'D )

** I finished the lamp and uploaded some real images. I will also add some more information on parts above.

*** added blue and red ring to the socks; removed one leg which was too loose, you will need to double it

**** added an “Ikea style” manual as PDF and JPG :'D
