This design is an indoor version of my Giant Christmas Lights using IKEA Strala socket. A great alternative if you do not want to use a solder iron!
*** Please note: the temperature will buildup inside the bulb. I do not think it could be a fire hazard, but the lifespan of the LED will be reduced.
Printing
The printing is simple. The giant bulb is 234mm high. The bulb can be printed with a brim and support “touching build plate only” at the bottom only. NO NEED TO SUPPORT THE TOP! This will save printing time. There is a flat inside at the top for a better exterior finish (at the expense of a darker area). The "Strala key" should be printed on its side for higher strength. Printing at a 0.24mm layer height is good enough.
Assembly
Begin by testing the threads of the bulb. Screw the bulb to the base, ¼ turn at the time. If it gets stuck, go back and forth a ¼ turn. Take your time. Unlike the “Giant Christmas Light” for spotlight, the removal tool I made cannot be used to release a stuck bulb.
The pictures are self-explanatory. You will need 4 M3x10 (or M3x8) screws.
