The file '20 Sided Dice Lamp 3D Printer Model' is (stl) file type, size is 792.5KB.
Print consists of a lamp shade and a lamp base.
The shade consists of 20 prints of individual equilateral triangles, each with a different number from 1-20, that will need to be glued together at the edges. The edges are angled inward perfectly so that they assemble exactly as required to make the icosahedron shape.
5 of the triangles represent the bottom of the shade and have 1/5th of a central cylindrical shaft that, when assembled, will slide over the shaft on the lamp base. There is a sleeve that slides over the lamp shade central shaft, inside the shade, to add structural support. The central shaft of the shade will need to be sanded quite a bit to allow the sleeve to slide over it. The amount of sanding depends on how well you lined up the triangles when joining them. I glued the triangles first, then put the sleeve on, but a better process may be to put the sleeve on, then glue the triangles. This will probably save you some sanding.
Print the triangles at .15mm layer height. The thin faces of each triangle is .3mm in height so printing at .15mm is perfect to allow two layers of filament to be laid down. If you print at lower than .15mm it will add a third layer and may not allow as much light to come through.
The lamp base is one solid print. It has an angled shaft for a lamp cord. The socket I used for the bulb is a candelabra socket from Hillman, part number 427688. You will need to sand the top portion of the base that marries up to the shade.
