Revolving Base for Lithophane Cube - Alternative Lamp Holder Base
Description
I found it difficult to find the light fitting used in the original model so I customised the base to allow fitting a lamp holder I bought on amazon. You can find the lamp fitting here: https://amzn.to/38RC8qG The base will need modifying where the cutout is for the cable to enter or you will need to remove the outer protection sheathing from the cable. I chose to use a dremel to make the cutout bigger so the cable would fit. I added a test file for the lamp holder. This was to make sure the holder fit into the base plate without having to waste hours printing the full thing. It is a VERY snug fit. You need to "screw" the bottom of the lamp holder into the test piece and the final base plate. This gives a more solid hold and secures the holder in place. <b>UPDATE - 13/03/2020</b> I changed the design of the lithoplatter as the bulbs I found online were too long. I eventually found these LED bulbs and they fit perfectly: https://amzn.to/39O93gl. The plate has been extended downwards so it sits inside the base. This allows the use of a longer bulb and also adds more weight to the base to keep it stable.
