Tiffany Lamp nach Art des Frimmels

Description

I have named this lamp "Tiffany Lamp nach Art des Frimmels", as I initially made the lamp base for a *real* tiffany lamp skirt, then realized it should be possible to print a skirt directly on the print bed. It worked even better than expected so here it is! I submit it now to cheer you all up a bit during the sad days of a virus. For the Tin and Cylinder lamps, please see https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4267962 and https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4267901 The lamp was designed for 5 color prints, however, don't give up yet even if you haven't got a 5 color MMU or have no MMU at all. For example, you could print the lamp skirt using just two colors (one transparent + background) or even skip the theme and just print the lamp skirt in a single transparent color. To print without an MMU, after slicing you could manually add a few pauses in the gcode (look up on the internet how to do that, or ask a friend, if you're unsure) or even just stay alert and pause manually during the print. Remember, if you print with layer 1=0.2mm, and layer 2 with 0.3mm it will only be 10 color shifts in total (or 4, if you only use back- and foreground colors). Quite possible to manage by hand! One theme (blommor) was designed as a 4-color print if you have such a MMU available. The lamp is set up for an E14 lamp socket found for example at the "Kjell & Co" shops in Sweden. If you plan to use a different kind of socket, be aware that you must redesign the "lampfäste" part (see the freecad source file). Obviously, you will also need to buy an electric cable including a connector (I bought mine at "Clas Ohlson" in Sweden. You must ensure not to overheat the printed parts so take good care of which lamps to use. Personally, I use LED lamps of no more than 3W in my constructions. Basically you can just print the five attached .3mf files (don't forget to adjust print settings to fit your needs). However, before you start, TEST PRINT the "TESTprint_of_all_threads_SPLIT_THIS_STL_BEFORE_PRINT.stl" using the same filament and settings as for the real print. Verify that all threads fit exactly (not a deviation of 30 degree, not wiggly, quite tight the last 30 degrees). If it is *too* tight or loose, there are several options for you to fix it (see the print options part) Last but not least, please don't forget Gretas hard work even these days where the virus might be your main focus.
