I had made this from actual pipe before and decided to try and see if I could do in a 3D print.

This is a full sized lamp but prints on MK3S (you can print on a MINI as well just use wood or make the base smaller)

Lamp size : 200mm x 200mm x 415mm (8" x 8" x 16.5")

Make the base from wood or use the print base model(s).

Use a vintage LED light bulb. (heat issues with plastic so no incandescent bulbs  (lower wattage looks better (40watt equivalent )

List states the number of items required to print.

Additional items required:

  • light socket 
  • cord extension 18/2
  • plug with switch 18/2
  • light bulb try vintage LED (40 watt is good not too bright)
  • Loctite / CA glue if desired
  • crimp & shrink connectors (easier as well seals better than electrical tape/look)

Printed in PLA - PETG is also an option

.4 nozzle

.2 resolution (I used .3 for the base)

Brims not used but some may require the use

Supports not required but do make the overhang of the 90 cleaner

NOTE since these threads are the same as actual NPT if you want a wooden base and want to bolt it to the wood you can even use a real flange!

NOTE there are 2  reducers check the diameter of your pigtail light socket to see which one fits better. (difference EU and North American). 

It was pointed out that some people are using different sized diameter led bulbs so added a couple nipple lengths (longer to accommodate). if using longer nipples then only make2 close nipples

Pull the wire through (fish) or feed the wire through then screw parts together.
Make connections as needed (depends on what you purchase/ lengths)

If you have the money or desire pick up some 18/2 retro/industrial/Edison cord to really make it look period.


place cord stopper (place right before the cord exits)

and you can use the base cover with the open channel in base (open channel makes it easy to crimp connection there)

BY request a ¾" threaded union.
