I've always loved the elegant look of elvish architecture from fantasy worlds, so I wanted to create a crystal lamp that felt like it belonged in an ancient hall or somewhere in Middle Earth.
This lamp features a glowing crystal centerpiece surrounded by a decorative frame. The design prints completely support-free and is easy to assemble.
The model is split into 4 parts:
Crystal Diffuser
Lamp Frame
Light Holder
Twist-On Light Cap
Assembly
Print all 4 parts.
Glue the Light Holder into the Lamp Frame.
Insert your LED puck light into the holder.
Secure the light by twisting on the Light Cap from underneath.
Slide the Crystal Diffuser into the frame.
Filament I Used
Lamp Frame
Jessie Filaments Winter Gold Glitterhttps://www.printedsolid.com/products/jessie-pla-1-75mm-x-1kg-golden-winner?srsltid=AfmBOoppbUpLEDX_pmkg4bRA2jpFV4z1YMQjilWTQ3lk8Z6J0yO9uCEu
Crystal Diffuser
Bambu Lab PLA Translucent Redhttps://us.store.bambulab.com/products/pla-translucent?id=593999615827689511
You can also just print in clear translucent and then use RGB puck lights!
LED Lights I Used
For the lamp shown in my photos, I used these LED puck lights:
Higher Quality White LED Puck Lights
These are brighter than many of the cheaper options I've tried and plug directly into a wall outlet rather than relying on USB power.
Tea Light Version
I've recently added a tea light cap option. While the remote rgb tea lights I've used in the pictures are currently sold out, I've also used these are they great.
Budget RGB Option (Includes Remote)
If you print the crystal using a clear translucent filament, these RGB lights can create some really cool color-changing effects. It's just not as bright as the other led puck light.
Print Settings
The included 3MF profile is what I used for my prints:
0.20 mm Layer Height
2 Walls
7% Gyroid Infill
No Supports Needed
IMPORTANT- I have updated the 3mf, but if you're slicing the file yourself, change the inner wall width of the crystal to 0.4 for a cleaner look.
I also slowed down the print speeds in the 3mf profile, especially on the lamp frame, to improve reliability and reduce the chance of failures.
Print Time
On my Bambu Lab A1 (slowed down):
Approximately 12 hours total print time
Approximately 280g of filament
Happy printing!
