This design combines a blooming lotus flower with its supporting leaf to create a unique lamp. The lotus flower has a hollow dome that goes over a LED light source, while the leaf features holes for the wire to pass through. Simply rest the lotus on the leaf for a soft and elegant illumination.

Tailoring Your 3D Printing for Desired Effects

Achieving the perfect ambiance with the Lotus Lamp depends on the filament and infill type you select. For colored filament, opt for a lower infill setting, allowing light to dance through, for a transparent filament, you may increase the infill, enhancing the lamp's luminosity. Remember, the infill pattern you select will also influence the final look.

Assembly Instructions

Print the lotus and leaf models.
Carefully guide the wire through the hole in the leaf.
If necessary, secure the wire to the leaf or base to prevent movement.
With the wire threaded through the leaf, gently rest the lotus on top of the leaf, ensuring the hollow center of the lotus goes over the LED light.
Connect the remaining wire to your chosen power source
