The Axis Lamp is a futuristic, industrial-style lighting prop designed to look like a power core or containment unit. With its bold "XY" geometric cutout and glowing energy coil, it makes the perfect addition to any gaming setup, desk, or sci-fi display.
This design is modular and easy to print. It utilizes a standard remote-controlled LED puck light, meaning no soldering or electronics knowledge is required, just print, assemble, and glow.
Features
- Modular Design: Separates into easy-to-print components (Base, Shell, Inner Core, Diffuser).
- No Electronics Skills Needed: Designed to fit standard battery-operated RGB puck lights.
- Two-Tone Aesthetic: The inner sleeve provides high contrast against the outer shell (e.g., Black inner, White outer) while the top diffuser creates a soft "plasma" glow.
Bill of Materials (Hardware)
1x LED Puck Light: Designed for standard 60mm circular push lights, such as the ones available from Bambu Lab (But often
also found on Amazon as "RGB Puck Lights with Remote").
- Optional: Glue, if you want a permanent assembly, though friction fit usually works.
Printing Instructions
- Material: PLA, PETG, or ABS.
- Diffuser Part: Must be printed in Translucent, Clear, or White filament to allow the light to shine through effectively. Spiral Vase mode is optional for the diffuser for maximum brightness.
- Layer Height: 0.2mm standard.
- Infill: 8% is sufficient for the body parts.
- Supports: painted supports are in place for the "XY" bridging, default slicer supports will most likely end up in a failed print. Specifically around the middle parts of the ‘X' and ‘Y’.
Assembly Guide
- Place the LED puck light into the inner Base.
- Insert the Black Inner Cylinder into the White Outer Shell.
- Push the inner cap into the outer cap (preferably gluing it in place).
- Push the Translucent Diffuser onto the cap.
- Screw the cap and screw onto the base.
- Use the remote to change colors and set the mood! (Pointing at the translucent screw part)
