Larger Desk Lamp Shade For Larger LED Bulb
Larger Desk Lamp Shade For Larger LED Bulb
My desk lamp was designed for a 35W, 12V halogen bulb... which gets ridiculously hot over time. I wanted to replace the halogen bulb with an equivalent LED bulb... but the bulb was just a bit too large to fit inside the ceramic enclosure. So... I printed a larger enclosure to accommodate the larger LED bulb, using blue filament to simulate the blue paint on the original shade...

One of my motivations for buying a 3D printer was to attempt to declutter my space by printing enclosures for my many breadboarded/cabled together electronic projects. At this point, I'm not sure that the 3D printer will actually lead to decluttering anything... but hope springs eternal.

Nope, I can tell you right now, it actually makes it worse!apk wrote:...I'm not sure that the 3D printer will actually lead to decluttering anything... but hope springs eternal.
