Christmas Story leg lamp remix for LED lighting
Description
**Edit**: Added The Tag _Remixchallenge_ Even Though Neither Of The Source Items Are In The Challenge Collection, Because I Put A Bunch Of Good Work Into This Remix, And The Stuff In The Challenge Collection Doesn'T Interest Me. I Did Read The Rules, Unlike A Bunch Of The Other Remixes In The Challenge. ;) I Printed Out The Christmas Story Leg Lamp (Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Make:268173) With The Revised Shade (Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Make:268181) For A Coworker. Another Coworker Saw It And Loved It, But Wanted To Convert His To Have An Led Light Inside Of It Vs. Just Adding A Tea Light. I Had The Idea To Print The Leg Portion With A 0% Infill (Hollow) So He Could Run Wiring Up Through The Leg, But Discovered That The Original Lamp Base Has The Foot Intact - With Toes - So That Was A Complication. Also, The Original Base Was Far Too Small For The Electronics That We Had Planned, So I Worked On The Base, Cutting Out The Hidden Stuff, Then Stitching It Back Together. I Modeled A New Base And Added That On, And Was Able To Print It Hollow. For The Shade, Since We Didn'T Need Access For A Tea Lamp, I Took The Revised Lamp Shade, Cut It In Half And Mirrored It. Buncha Cleanup Later And We Have A Fully Intact Lampshade. Print The Base In Whatever Color You Wish, But Print The Shade In A Transparent Filament So It Glows Nicely. For The Assembled Version, We Used A 10Mm High Intensity Diffuse Gumdrop Led. Battery Was A Cr2032 In The Base, And A Switch Was Installed In The Side. More Detail Photos To Follow. **Update:** Check Out [This Remix By Jetpuf](Https://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:2648470/) For Some Nice Improvements On The Design, Including Provision For The Leds! **Update: 18 Dec 2019** Looking At This Project I Happened To Run Across This [Positively Impressive Remix](Https://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:2701506) Of Jetpuf'S Remix Which Looks To Be Printed Out A Whole Bunch Closer To Actual Size! Well Done, [Roseks](Https://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Roseks)!
