SP00L is the first 3d printable lamp design that gives new life to filament spools.

Those of us who print know what it's like to have spent spools lying around and not knowing what to do with them, as well as the fact that they are difficult to recycle. That's why I've created this design that cleverly plays with the spools to make the most of them.

If you are very supportive of the design I will create a line of lamps with the same concept of reusing spools.

To assemble it you only have to print 4 times the same piece (SPOOL.stl), I recommend printing them 2 by 2. The next step would be to glue or weld two pieces so that you have two half cylinders with the bases at the ends. These halves are attached to two spools, one at the top where the bulb socket will go, and one at the bottom. Finally, the two halves are tied together with thread or you can even use scraps of filament.

You can play with the combination of the different types and colours of spools you have: dark or transparent, plastic or cardboard..... I have used the dark spools from 3DJake and the transparent ones from Sakata 3D.

The outer diameter of the lamp is 22,5 cm, I have left a margin so you can assemble it with different brands of spools of 1kg. You can even scale the design to be able to assemble a smaller version with smaller spools!
