Cylinder lamp nach Art des Frimmels
Description
This is my second lamp, named "Cylinder lamp nach Art des Frimmels" (for the Tiffany and Tin lamps, please see: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4267782 and https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4267962 ). 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). Not quite possible to do by hand. There are two versions of the lamp holder parts with a tight (14.1mm) and wide (14.4mm) inside thread, respectively. The tight thread will be sufficient e.g. for PLA with extrusion=1.0, the wider will be used e.g. for WoodFILL with extrusion=1.2. Test print a small part of the thread to make sure you have chosen the right one. 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. Obviously, you will also need to buy an electric cable including a connector (I bought mine at "Clas Ohlson" in Sweden. If you are experienced with freecad, the settings can easily be changed by altering the numbers in column B of the spreadsheet in the attached freecad document. Whenever you change the thread parameters for the lamp holder, be aware that freecad will not always be able to recompute the thread so carefullu examine a sliced output if you set custom values. Basically you can just print the attached five .3mf files (don't forget to adjust print settings to fit your needs). See details during print settings. Last but not least, please don't forget Gretas hard work even these days where the virus might be your main focus.
