Giant Hot End Lamp - for IKEA Hemma - Different Logos Available

This is a little fun project and probably my last submission for the ongoing "Let there be light!" contest - the Giant Hot End Lamp, a fun lamp for your printing booth! There are 3 different versions for the heater block available (Open Source Hardware logo, Prusa Research logo and the e3d logo), choose whatever you like the most! I've also provided the step file for the heater block so you can even make your own design (you may like to upload it as remix then).

The whole print won't need any supports and is quite easy to print and assemble. It fits best with a IKEA Hemma socket. You may also want to use the .step file to make it suitable other light sources.

The heater block and the black screw on top are seperated parts so you can easily spray paint the heater block if you like (I did so).

Hardware needed:

• IKEA Hemma socket (or similar)
• 2 zip ties
• E27 Light bulb, max. width of 48mm (I would use a corn bulb like this)

Installation guide:


The installation is pretty straight forward, basically just look at the schematics below.

• Screw in the socket first (the socket from below, the counter ring from above)
• After that, screw in the nozzle thread and finally slide the nozzle tip over
• Use some zipties in the cable channel to hold the cable in position.

If you have problems to screw in the counter ring, push it down with pliers and screw in the socket from below

As always, this design is subject to change so check back again for updates.

Have fun with the lamp!

Print instructions

• Optimized for FDM printing
• Use .3mf or .gcode for presliced settings
• I advise to use PETG for the nozzle as the light bulb may gets hot
