Lithophane Solar System (E27)

These models are remixed from Frank Dreschner's “Designer Lithophane Moon Lamp” [1], and raTmoles' lithophane solar system [2]. I extracted the bajonet adapter from Dreschner's original model and fitted it to the respective 3D model. 

Globes have a diameter of ca. 120 mm, which makes them quick to print and impressive enough for a birthday present.

For the lamp stand I printed the uploaded model and inserted 13 cm (⌀ 4.6 mm) iron nails as legs (tip-first). If you use cyanoacrylate glue, these legs are much more sturdy then the original ones. Also, the mix of materials provides a high-quality look to the whole assembly.

The globes are printed best at 0.2mm resolution with 4 margins, at 100% infill. No supports needed. The socket adapter is printed at the same settings, but with 10-15% infill.

Tip: Put a diffuser over the lamp. I simply used painted transparent paper. If you use 2-4W LEDs, it looks really impressive.

Note

I'll add more models when I've got more time. I tried:

• Moon
• Sun
• Jupiter
• Mars
• Venus
