How To Create A 3D Lamp

Great strides in lighting technology from the age of bonfires and candlelight to electric and solar lights made by individuals and companies in creating means for daily improving the uniqueness of our lives and lighting up our world has brought us to the age of “tech-savvyness” where things can be manufactured using 3D printing technology in this case, 3D lamps.

3D lamps bring a sense of innovation and uniqueness to your space and are much more than ordinary LED lamps.

WHAT ARE 3D LAMPS ANYWAY

3D lamps are composed of a acrylic-drawn shape with a base centre fitted with LED lightings.

3D lamps are composed of pc acrylic lighting panel and a LED base centre which is fitted with lightings. The light panel is developed from acrylic glass sheet with wonderful light transmitting features.The LED base features an array of LEDs.

3D are glowing lamps that you place  anywhere in your abode and give a new meaning to the concept of “decorate and renovate”.

HOW TO CREATE 3D LAMPS

You can create 3D lamps by following these steps.

1. Cut the pieces you’ll use.

Start by cutting your pieces into what you’ll use.

You can use laser-cutting technology in performing this like the FSL Hobby Laser.

The Base centre has two components to make the solid & the hollow pieces to stack together.

When doing this, make sure to cut it parallel to the red lines and engrave then on the blue line.

Using the material, cut the base file 8 times to provide 8 solid pieces and 8 hollow pieces. Then leave one of the centers of a “Hollow” piece to finish the base and become the guide for fitting the LED lightings.

Engrave the black components for the acrylic components while cutting parallel to the red line.

2. Glue the pieces.

Link the pieces to make 1 solid piece to make the slots a tight placement for the acrylic components. Then use the acrylic part to ensure that all the slots are fitted well as you glue.

Once you’ve done this and all the solid pieces are fitted, then glue the disks to form a hollow cylinder. You should glue this cylinder under the slotted pieces to give you the maximum space for the electronic parts.

3. Wire the components.

Wire the circuit following using a battery which can be as low as 9V, and two parts of a 12V LED strip. Note here that a little circuit math may be needed.

Fit your LED strip to a part of the excess pieces from the “hollow” circles and run it parallel to the engraved rectangle to be lined up with the base centre of the acrylic part. Then securely fit the battery & the wires to the base components. With a switch, you can drill a portion of the base to set it for easy access externally.

4. You can finish up.

Sand parallel to the base centre to have a smooth & fine finish. You can add Lacquer or maybe paint if you so desire.

Fit the acrylic on the stand and add the bottom circle that has the electronic components to the base centre.

 

5. Now you can switch on and use to your maximum satisfaction.

3D lamps are really efficient in saving a lot of power, last for a long time and very eco-friendly and also easy to use.
