Description

PDF

This is a wall mounted lamp that spreads a comfortable and cozy light to the room. The light sourse is 5 meters of LEDs mounted on the backside. It measures 2050mm from top to bottom and 2020 mm from left to right. The pieces are med tongues and holes to snap together with each other.

Print instructions

I printed this with the backside to the hotbed with 5% infill, 3 bottom layers, 5 top layers and 0,2 mm layer hight. Every piece takes about 3 hours to print and the whole tree needs about 3 kilos of PLA. There is a map how the pieces fit together in the .3mf file. The size of prints vary from 150X150 to 250X240 mm.

I covered the backside of the tree with aluminum tape to stop the light from passing through the PLA. I use 20mm spacers to lift the tree a bit from the wall. For the light source i used RGB LEDs with self-adhesive tape on the backside as an easy solution, and glued the pieces together with superglue into three big parts so its easy to mount/unmount from the wall.

The STL named "plug" is meant to cover the screw holes on the frontside.
