Rocket lamp

Описание

I had a lamp cable lying around and wanted to do something with it. One of my sons wanted a rocket for his room. So after searching Thingiverse I found Toy rocket by JJBTEXAS . That rocket was the inspiration for my own design. The design is suitable for an E14 socket and using a low power led bulb. The lamp is made of two parts a nozzle (base) and a body (shade). The two parts are joined by a thread. Note that the screw connection is quite snug at first, but a series of progressive tightenings and loosening of the two parts will remove the "snugness" and leave nice but firm and easy fitting parts. This is a bit hard at the first try, it will require a firm force (not violent) and proceed by small increments -tighten-loosen-tighten-loosen until the parts are screwed together. During testing I found that the parts can be printed with and without support. Both come with pros and cons. Without support you risk the obvious by with not getting a complete and firm build in the threads. The arch under the wings are also at risk, but popper cooling should assist with that. With support you risk that there are to tight or much support in the threads which will make it hard or even impossible to remove. Building with support may also (like in my case) add an "inner wall" stretching from bottom up to top for nose support. While this wall does not interfere this can perhaps be of an issue if using a hot lamp. I recommend that you go with your own good judgement.
