Intro

This minimalistic and modern lamp design was inspired by mid-century lamp designs. It's a functional yet simple design that can be used as a table lamp or you can hang it anywhere you want!

Make it your own by using any color you want for the socket and handle! Even the lamp shade could be printed using a non-white filament. It can be printed in under a day, even with a small print bed (I used a Prusa MINI+).

Parts

There are only three components that need to be printed:

• Lamp876_Shave.STL: It should be printed using the spiral vase mode of your slicer of choice.

• Lamp876_Socket.STL: This is were the light bulb socket is attached. Print it upside-down, with the upper cord orifice on the print bed. No supports needed.

• Lamp876_Handle.STL:It has a hook to hang the lamp anywhere you need and two horns to wrap the cord for tidiness. Print it laying flat on its side.

In addition, you'll require the following components. I've provided amazon links for simplicity, but you don't have to use exactly these:

• Creative Hobbies ELY1085 - Steel All Thread Lamp Pipe Nipples - 3/4 Inch Long, Yellow Zinc Coated, 1/8IP Standard Thread, Hardware DIY Repair Part - Pack of 25 Pieces: This is used to attach the light bulb socket to the Lamp876_Socket.STL

• Creative Hobbies ELY233 - Steel Hex Lock Nut Fasteners - Yellow Zinc Coated, Fits 1/8IP Standard Lamp Pipe, Hardware DIY Repair Part - Pack of 50 Pieces: It's used to keep the shade in place.

• Creative Hobbies Chandelier Lighting Fixture Socket Kit, Candelabra E-12 Sockets with Cardboard Insulators and 1 3/4-Inch Tall White Plastic Candle Cover Sleeves, Set of 6: It is in theory possible to use a different socket for an E26 light bulb if you want a higher wattage LED light bulb.

• LiteHistory Dimmable T6 led Bulb 40W Candelabra led 2200K Amber 250lm 4W e12 T25 led Bulb 6Pack: I used this LED light bulb. You can use any light bulb you want, as long as it's and LED. Incandescent light bulbs could overheat the lamp.

• Lamp Cord has Button Switch UL304 2A/120V,Plug,Stripped Ends Ready for Wiring 18 AWG SPT-2, Black (12FT): Use your lamp cord of choice, as long as it has the ends ready for wiring. The orifice in the printed socket is big enough for most cords.

Assembly

Once you have all the components and parts, the assembly is pretty straightforward. I've uploaded some diagrams for reference.

1) First, feed the cord through the upper orifice until it comes out of the nipple orifice. Because the inner shape is a cone, the cord should be naturally funneled towards it.

2) Then, feed the cord through the Lamp Pipe Nipple. Afterwards, threat the Lamp Pipe Nipple in the socket orifice. It's a bit tight, but not too tight as to prevent you from tightening it by hand. You don't have to go too deep. Once it feels secure enough you can leave it.

3)Then, install the shade and secure it by using the nut.

4) The next step is to install the light bulb socket. Feed enough cord so you can comfortably access the ends for wiring. Connect the cord to the socket by clamping the ends with the screws.

5) Once secured, you have to threat the socket on the lamp nipple. Because the cord is connected to the socket, the cord will turn with the sockets as you threat it. Make sure you also twist the other end of the cord as you threat the socket to prevent excessive tension.

6) Once the sockets is installed, just screw in the light bulb and snap in the handle (no glue needed!).

7) You are good to go!
