@@drthmik LED? Nah, bring in incandescent.

[@Mr.Sparks.173]

​@@alexturnbackthearmy1907 probably best not to. Incandescent lights produce a ton of heat, more heat than light in fact. You could use an Incandescent bulb to bake cookies - and they made a toy that dis just that (ezbake oven) Which poses a problem if you make it out of 3D printed plastics. So if you do want to use Incandescent, make it metal.

If you secured the lamp's cord at the correct point, it would actually use the cord as another linkage and it would pivot the lamp, and the lamp would move as the arm moved. That might be the way the original creator had it set up so that it wasn't limp-lamped.

CNC Kitchen has been making videos on the subject of 3D print/filament recycling for a while now and it is starting to look closer and closer to a reality for hobbyists.

Been there. I started other hobbies that I could include 3d printing. Like tabletop games and small woodworking-3d prints-IoT mixes. I also let friends and strangers ask for small prints for free and if they want large prints and many of them, I ask them to just buy the filament/resin for me. This keeps my printer in use. Edit: but if you don't want it. Donate it to a school, charity school, family or friend. It would be a good gift and learning experience for someone else.

FDM fan here that got a resin printer for xmas. Buying all the extra safety stuff alone is like one of those gag gifts. As far as projects, just do what you want. Your joy from making something is more interesting than "funky lol project 42069 made for lulz". If that brings you joy and it shows in the video go for it.

[@Francois_Dupont]

what safety stuff do you need? gloves and a container to rinse stuff?

[@bladelaw]

@@Francois_Dupont respirator/mask, cleaning solution, gloves, dedicated trash bin to prevent cross contamination, safety glasses. Then the nice to have extras like a flex plate, wash and cure, silicone mat(s), etc. Not a problem, just a bunch of extras that are nice to have to make the most of the printer that also bump the entry fee into resin printing by a bit.

Stand Lamp Office: This one is much worthy of a detailed redesign by you. Every issue you see in it that you can fix, let us see an improved version of this kit. Could even leave it instructionless and you just show the completed one in a short and just say "Look at this lamp." cut to another angle "Easy to print." cut to one last angle "STLs in description." cut to just your face "you've seen it, assemble it the same bro."

to make the lamp worse: intentionally print either a few pieces less than you need to make it so it cant be completed, or even worse: print a few small parts extra maybe a big one too so they think they messed something up.

[@MeekrabJones]

You really should clarify very that specific filaments are needed to 3D print light switch covers, otherwise it's a major fire and safety hazard. That's why building codes dictate that they be made of specific materials. In fact, it's best not to encourage printing them regardless since most people won't bother checking requirements like that before printing.
