Hex Base Lamp: Modern Patterned Lighting

This modern and elegant lamp design leverages 3D printing infill techniques to create intricate, translucent geometric patterns. The current profile utilizes the Archimedean Chords infill at 5% density to produce a clean, sophisticated aesthetic when illuminated.

Design Features

• Modular Hexagonal Base: Engineered for stability and ease of customization. The hexagonal geometry allows users to easily model and swap their own custom lamp covers.
• Included Profiles: The project includes two cover variations:
  • Classic Hex: A sleek, straight-walled geometric cover.
  • Angled Hex: A dynamic, faceted design for a more contemporary look.
• Hardware Compatibility: Designed specifically for Bambu Lab Lamp Kit 001. This kit is readily available through the Bambu Lab store or compatible third-party retailers.

Print Recommendations

To achieve the intended visual effect, the following settings are optimized in the provided print profiles:

• Walls: Single wall (1 wall loop) to maximize light transmission.
• Infill: 5% Archimedean Chords.
• Material Choice: This model has been tested extensively in Transparent and White PLA, both of which yield excellent results.
• Filament Tips: For the best light diffusion, use translucent or light-toned filaments (e.g., Yellow, Orange, or Pastel Pink). Darker or high-opacity filaments may significantly reduce the lamp's brightness.

A Quick Tip for Success

When choosing a custom infill pattern for your own covers, remember that the "internal" look of the lamp is just as important as the external shape. Patterns like Gyroid or Honeycomb can also create stunning light diffusion at low densities!
