Vitruvian Man - Suspended Lamp

Inspired by Leonardo da Vinci’s famous Vitruvian Man, but altered a little to make it work in 3d space and printable in this scale) this 3D printable lamp transforms one of history’s most recognized studies of human proportion into a modern illuminated artwork. 

Da Vinci’s original drawing, created around 1490, explored the perfect balance between art, science, and anatomy, representing the harmony of the human body within geometry... and modern society ruining it

This design reimagines that concept as a string lamp, where the iconic figure is enclosed within a circular frame. String or filament is woven across the frame to form a glowing web of light, casting intricate shadows that celebrate both the human form and da Vinci’s geometric vision.

Perfect for art lovers, educators, and modern décor, the piece combines classical inspiration with contemporary design. It is easy to assemble and compatible with LED or low heat string lights.

Supports ARE NOT needed. Try not to use the Super Tack plate, taking the print off may damage the strings. When you finish printing, LET IT COOL! If you try to pull it off while it is hot, the strings will bend. This is especially true with this model, the body is very thin and fragile, the plate needs to be cold and the print will pop off without issues.


Most models with strings only use a single 0.24 layer high string, I use two. That way, if one fails, the other usually does not.

To light it you will need the standard 3AAA RGBW pucks from aliexpress or bambu lab, two in total.

Relatively simple, assemble the two halves using an assembly jig in the profile, it is basically two rings that will fit exactly to the two halves, just make sure you put a paper down so the glue doesn't leak and ruin your table (ask me how I know). There are nubs in the provided bases and it will keep it in place for a desktop stand, but carrying it around without gluing it, is not advised… if you are happy with it and do not wish to reuse the base for my other models, go ahead and glue it.


Also, DO NOT change layer size because then the strings may fail.  Any issues, let me know.
