C.lamp - Instant Photo Frame

Intro

Introducing Photo Frame for the C.lamp system designed for Kodak Instant photos 2.1" x 3.4"

What is C.lamp? It is the clamp for your lamp! (or any other vertical 1 inch tube or pipe with a rough surface).

C.lamp is ideal for IKEA HEKTAR lamps, as they take up a lot of vertical space. Why not utilize that ample vertical space? With C.lamp, your lamp can double as a photo display or a nifty place to pin your To Do list. 

Color Schemes

C.lamp system's aesthetic appeal lies in its customizable color schemes. With primary and secondary colors at your disposal, the combination possibilities are endless. Default C.lamp system color scheme for photo frames:

• Light frame: Prusament PLA Vanilla White
• Dark frame: Prusament PLA Jet Black + Prusament PLA Vanilla White

However, don't let convention limit your imagination. Experiment and go wild with colors that resonate with you and your living space's vibe. Choose from a plethora of color combinations and materials for 3D printing.

3D Printing 

I used Prusament PLA for this print and it should be tough enough to hold some photos.

C.lamp - Instant Photo Frame Assembly Instructions

Parts, Materials, Tools

• Kodak Instant photos (2.1" x 3.4")
• 3D printed parts
• Round magnets 6x2mm (x4 for C.lamp attachment port for each attachment)
• Round magnets 3x3mm (x8 for each Instant Photo Frame)
• Marker
• Pliers (optional)
• X-Acto knife (optional)
• Prusa lubricant (optional)
• Sanding paper (optional)
• Super glue (optional)

Safety

• Always put safety first!
• Be extra careful when removing supports material and print imperfections as edges may be very sharp.
• Do not press the magnets into slots using sharp objects that can slip on the magnet and hurt you.

Important Notes

• Always make sure the polarity of the magnets is aligned properly to avoid repelling or issues with attachment.
• Take care not to force any parts too hard as this can cause damage, especially if you're using a more brittle material like PLA.
• All magnets are press fit, but if magnets don’t stay in slots secured, use a dab of super glue.

Step 1

Clean up printed Part 2 (Light Frame) from any print imperfections.

Take 4 3x3mm round magnets and insert them into slots on Part 2 (Light Frame).

Step 2

Unscrew the connector piece from the C.lamp.

Add 4 magnets on top of the C.lamp connector and mark them with a marker (this is an important step).

Step 3

Insert the C.lamp connector into the connector slot in the middle of the photo frame Part 2, make sure that the side of the magnet that was marked with marker is facing inside the Part 2 (Light Frame).

Press the magnets into the slots, make sure that they are flush with the surface, and detach the C.lamp connector.

Step 4

Clean up printed Part 1 (Light Frame) from any print imperfections.

Take 4 3x3mm round magnets, place them on top of inserted magnets on the Part 2, and mark them with a marker (this is an important step).

Take those 4 marked 3x3mm round magnets and insert them into slots on Part 1 (Light Frame), make sure that the side of the magnet that was marked with marker is facing inside the Part 1 (Light Frame). 

Make sure that inserted magnets are flush with the surface.

Step 5

Assemble the Instant Photo Frame by putting a photo of your choice between magnetic parts.

Use similar steps for Dark Frame.  

Assembling Other C.lamp Attachments

In the future, when more C.lamp attachments will be release by me, or created by the community by embedding C.lamp Attachment Ports into the other designs and models, you should follow the same instructions to assemble new attachments, to make sure that magnets polarity stays the same between different attachments.
