Bubble lights, we all love them but they have one obvious and annoying flaw, they use C7 nightlight bulbs which burn out leaving you with a dead bubble light despite the fact that the rest of the light is still good. Well no more! .. I am working on designing a serviceable bubble light base that if the bulb burns out, you can simply replace the burned out bulb for a new one, remove the old glass bubble stick and insert it into your new base and you are back in business!. I do want to mention this version I dont have the screw mechanism in place so you would have to glue the top/bottom together for now. Also I do want to caution with anything electric that also involves heat there maybe a fire hazard risk. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!.. While I have tried to make sure there are sufficient ventilation holes there is always a chance if you use a higher watt bulb there could be too much heat generated and the plastic (depending on what you print it in could warp, soften or worse melt/catch on fire) so please use caution and don't leave this unattended without significant testing on your part first!) This is still very much a "work in progress". Also the color of the material you print in and/or the color bulb could generate more heat causing this model to melt so please proceed with caution and test-test-test.

Instructions

I printed mine on a Craftbot using CraftUnique PLA white at 0.2mm
