3D printed double helix lamp
printing hints:
all 3d parts can print without support, only add brim to some parts (diffusers and helix, but I printed diffusers without brim),
I printed this diffusers with glow in the dark PLA in vase mode verry slowly (16 minutes per part or slower and print environment temperature around 25 degree celsius),
print height for helix needed is 200 mm (print time 5 hours per part),
Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!
Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
The Adafruit Learning System has dozens of great tools to get you well on your way to creating incredible works of engineering, interactive art, and design with your 3D printer! If you’ve made a cool project that combines 3D printing and electronics, be sure to let us know, and we’ll feature it here!
