Sorting Hat Lantern

⚠ IMPORTANT NOTE before you hit “Print”!

Don't remove negative parts! Use whatever support style works best for you — in my case, I went with tree supports for a cleaner, magical finish, but depending on your printer, settings, and filament, this can be risky. The safest choice is snug supports — just be prepared for a little patience when removing them. Trust me, once you get them off… you’ll feel like you’ve just won the Triwizard Tournament!

This isn’t just any lamp — it’s THE Sorting Hat from the Harry Potter universe, brought to life as a glowing centerpiece for your desk or shelf. I printed mine with 15% gyroid infill to keep it sturdy while letting the light shine through like a true piece of wizardry.

The model contains two intentional negative spaces:

A USB port opening for the Bambu Lab LED, so the magic can flow in.
An internal socket space where the LED mount piece fits snugly, holding your light steady like a loyal house elf.
Negative part for getting an open mouth so the light can bright through it.

Don’t remove these negative pieces unless you’re brewing up your own design changes — they’re part of the spellwork!

💡 Pro tip for LED installation: when passing the LED’s power switch through the USB port hole, press the on/off button down to help it slip through — as if whispering “Alohomora” to the hat.

Once lit, this Sorting Hat casts an enchanting glow, ready to declare whether you belong in Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, or Slytherin. With a little patience and a dash of magic, you’ll have a “Glow Within” creation worthy of the Hogwarts Great Hall! ✨🪄
