💡Shy-light

Description

Source link : https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:29876 Summary While provocatively curved, she is indeed very shy! She only allows a glowing glimpse of what she holds inside. A light shade for LED tea-light or Luxeon/Cree LED. Hiding the source from direct view, it results in a gentle light emerging Part of the (r)evolutionary twin-shell series. This family of shapes is one of my older pet projects. Over the years I designed and printed many shapes, sizes, thicknesses, slopes and variations. I usually mount the Cree-LEDS on an aluminum disc which is spray painted black. Besides looking very stylish this also function well as a cooling method for the LED. The current selection presented is optimized for home printing without support. From this particular iteration I have already printed Adam, so all should be OK. Without further delay... Please meet: Eno, Adam, Eve and Ando! Ca 12.5cm high and wide, with 2mm wall thickness. See the Shapeways shop for Nylon editions in other sizes: http://www.shapeways.com/shops/virtox?section=Lighting More will be online soon. Instructions Rotate 45 degrees around the z-axis to more easily fit it on the plate. And scale to fit your printer. Perhaps also make a mirror copy and get a nice symmetric set :-) Tested in ABS and PLA, I recommend natural or transparent. Full details on this power-LED project will follow. For now you can print and use with small led-candles :-)
