Description
If you are looking for a lamp with a Venus Flytrap esque vibes, look no further!
This is a Crash Bandicoot inspired lamp, which uses an e14 light bulb and a a cord set (standard ~27mm outer thread diameter, with a loose power cord as seen in one on the pictures). All parts print without any support.
The Base was weighted using plaster, but you can use what ever material you wish inside the two cavities on the base.
You can use what ever strong glue you wish, cyanoacrylate or epoxy are recommended.
There is file for testing the threads before printing the Head, make sure it threads in nicely to the bulb holder.
Be sure to do follow your county's laws and regulations for electrical work before doing any hardware connections!
Toss a like, post a make and maybe follow me over at the IG's or YT
