Exploded View
Flexible PLA Experience
During my prototyping, I used a flexible PLA filament to allow myself to 3d print in a material that would diffuse the light from the LED strip while being flexible and allowing the material to compress when the lamp was pressed. I went through 15+ different iterations until I perfected the thickness and print settings so I got a high-quality print that had the desired amount of resistance & diffusion.
FINAL PROTOTYPE FABRICATION PROCESS
print pieces
solder internal wiring
spray sandable filler
sand to 400 grit
spray shell with paint
reassemble lamp
