I wanted to create a nightstand lamp that had a AC wall plug and USB plugs for all my charging needs at night. Couldn't find anything to buy that I liked that was affordable so I created this thingi. It is a simple lamp I tried to make look like a an old vintage tube radio. I got some vintage LEDs, outlets, extension cable, candelabra sockets, dimmer switch from a home improvement place. Got the faux "tubes" from a local craft store. Works well and puts off a nice warm glow. I printed in glossy black PLA, which, in hindsight wasn't the best idea. I think this could turn out better in wood PLA with a nice stain job.
EDIT: I have had some requests for BOM list. I have attached a photo of the receipt from my trip to get most of the lamp parts. Everything should be there with the exception of the plastic tube covers. I got those from a craft store. I think these are them: http://www.michaels.com/plastic-test-tube-treat-containers-by-celebrate-it/10411280.html
EDIT: I have added a simple STL for printable shades if you want to diffuse more light than the clear test tubes do. The attached photo shows clear PETG shades at 1mm thickness (two passes with my 0.5 mm nozzle) I also printed some shades in glow in the dark PLA. They looked fantastic but the glowing was too bright!
DISCLAIMER: I am not an electrician! I know some basics for 120v appliance wiring and thats about it. If you want to make and wire up your own lamp, please do this at your own risk.
