Modular Lithophane Lamp
Description
A modular style lithophane lamp I designed using inspiration from other models I found around Thingiverse. I posted this to a 3D printing group and people enjoyed it so I figured I'd share. I plan to update the design later. The lamp can be printed using just the following files: Bottom with Pillar Top Blank Panel (to fill the back if you don't want pictures all the way around) If you print with just that, you'll have a single cube. If you add the "Middle" and "Middle Pillar" then you can have a stacked two-cube lamp. Thoughts: The lamp can be printed to allow 4 panels, or 8, all the way around the lamp. The original intent was to only have 4 picture panels, with blank panels on the back, so you didn't have to turn the cube to see all the pictures. So the "blank panel" file is for this intent. Version 2 will be set up so you can infinitely expand as tall as you wish, and to include magnet spots, so you don't have to glue the model together. Version 1 you have to glue it all together. The slots that the lithophane panels slide into can accommodate 5mm wide panels. I found this to be pretty thick, so I use 3mm thick panels, but the lamp can handle thicker. The lamp is designed to need panels that are 130mm x 130mm in dimension. The lamp itself is about 12 inches tall and I used a 6ft light strip in my design, without cutting the strip. It puts off a great amount of light. That said, this model isn't 100% how I'd like it. I want to do some small redesigns to add magnets so the lamp doesn't have to be glued together. Then you could change the lamp at will, rather than having it be a final piece all glued together. I also want to refine it a bit to close any small gaps, but for now it's certainly a usable lamp. But I decided to share it now and change it later.
