Design Concept

Ever see the 3d printed bongs and think, that would make a wonderful lamp! We explain what's needed how to do it in assembly instructions, its fun and rewarding. Also our PSA * Never smoke from a 3d printed bong. I'll say it again. NEVER SMOKE FROM A 3D PRINTED BONG. Sure there are possibly some safe exceptions but most are unsupported in the interior when printed are a bit rough on the inside with loose strands and other debris. It's not good to inhale this stuff, especially with hot air melting microparticles loose. [See NIH advisory below *]
Instead use the interesting bong prints for display purposes, theatrical props, or better yet, convert to a table lamp and USB charging station. Assembly instructions list the tools and hardware, and detail the build process in 10 easy steps.

Purpose

This model serves both as a decorative lamp and a handy USB-C socket, making it a perfect choice for tech-savvy individuals looking to add a touch of flair to their workspace or living area.

Assembly Instructions

After printing, secure the required USB-C socket into the designated slot. Follow the wiring diagram for connecting it to a power source. Precise alignment is necessary to maintain functionality and aesthetic appeal.

To make the lamp & USB charging port conversion, you will need these items:

- Lamp ReWire Kit with shade harp.

- (2) 14 gauge wire nuts

- USB charger with dimension less than 1.5" diameter.

- USB-C Socket PCB and Male USB-C Plug end to use with the "Bong2Lamp USB-C Socket Bowl" or pre-made USB-C Female to Male 6" pigtail.

- old light extension cord. (this will get cut up for AC wire and use of the AC socket head)

- 1.5" Hole Saw or what you can use to saw a hole in the bottom.

- Hacksaw

- Soldering iron to tin wire ends and weld PLA

- Needle Nose Pliers or Wire Strippers

1. Saw off top mouthpiece to where uppermost tube meets mouthpiece. Save cutting.

2. Bore 1.5 inch bong base underside at center for wiring access.

3. Install Lamp Require Kit and Shade Harp, slide mouthpiece cutting over lightbulb socket.

4. Trim Socket end off extension cord with 6" pigtail, then split, strip .5 inch copper, note ridged wire is neutral

5. Pull lamp wires through base hole, trim off plug end to 4" hanging out, strip ends .5 inch.

6. Strip .5 ends of remaining of lamp rewire kit AC Plug wire (about 5 feet).

7. Use wirenut to connect RIDGED copper ends, and wirenut to join plain jacket copper ends.

8. Push wires and wirenut joins into cavity, then insert and plug in USB power adapter

9. Make male to female USB-C adapter by soldering V & G on USB-C Socket PCB to same on Male USB-C Plug

with 6" wires. (Or use short premade male-female USB-C adapter cable)

10. Plug in male-female adapter cable into USB Power Adapter into the repurposed extension cord socket in cavity,

then route female end of the usb adapter cable up bong bowl stem and into the Bong2Lamp USB-C Socket Bowl
