The Laser Core Floor Lamp is a DIY 3D Printed Floor lamp you can customize and make your own. The lamp uses threaded rod and vase mode 3D Prints to create a unique free standing floor lamp. You can alternatively make a smaller desk or table lamp. The unit can be mounted horizontally for props and other unique lighting.

The Laser Core Floor Lamp has both vase mode and traditionaly printed 3D printed parts. You will need a .6 nozzle to print the vase mode prints. A .4 or .6 nozzle can be used for the accessories like the base and electronics enclosures.
Each lantern of the Laser Core Floor Lamp is printed in vase mode with a .6 nozzle. You must print the lamp with a .6 nozzle, a .4 nozzle does not provide enough transparency and stability in the print. The accessories (such as the base and electronics enclosure) can be printed with a .4 nozzle but the vase mode prints are designed to be printed with a .6 nozzle and a .3 - .4 mm layer height. I personally printed mine with a .333 layer height.
One of the greatest features of the Laser Core Floor Lamp is the ways in which you can customize it and make it your own. Here are a few ideas that can help spark your creativity.
With 3D Modelling software like Blender you can apply a texture to the outside of the lantern. The lantern has an external and internal shell which means you can modify the outside of the lantern without modifying the internal structure allowing you to create complex vase mode exterrior textures.
The original design includes some basic color rings that can be optionally used to hide the lanterns where they touch. These can be printed in any color. For a different look you can also use a white filament instead of a translucent one. Something like a blue-ice filament could also be used to provide unique looks.
The rings are vase mode prints which can be printed in any color but these rings can also have textures or be connected outside of the lanterns to provide a new and unique look. Some have said the design has a “warp core” look. You could also create a cover for the lanters, etc.
Alter the number of lanterns and length and you have a desk lamp.
Turn it on its side and you have an internesting prop or a wall art that can also light up your room. Perhaps above a headboard? Inside your shop? Where will you use the Laser Core Floor Lamp? Share your ideas in the discord!
