Hi everybody! 🙂

Because crystals seems to be quite popular, i had a request for a crystal desktop lamp for a gamer's room. But its not only a nice, large colorful lamp! Its also a nice support for your headphones while not in use. 

Two version are available: One for wireless headphones, and one with a support for the headphones cord. 

Everything prints without support and i must say that it was quite a challenge to design!!! Making a hollow, thin and easy-to-print crystal was a real headache. 

The round base at the bottom can be filled with rice to add weight if you want. 

Simple and easy-to-follow instructions are included as usual. 

You can use LED ribbons, fairy lights or any other lighting source you like.

I have tried with both clear and normal filament for the crystal (purple is the clear one, while the green is normal pla) and the result is better with normal PLA when the light is on. I must say that the effect is interesting with the clear pla as you can see on the pictures, but i prefer the normal one. 

Have fun my friends, and i hope you like it!

love the design and looks of this. one wish is that it was a tad bit smaller so that it would fit an ender without scaling. as that is one of the most commonly used printers

Hi Chris! I will teach you something today that you will love for sure; It fits on an ender 3! 😁 BUT! You have to configure your slicer to adjust the bed to 235x235, which is the real size of an ender 3 bed. Many people don't know that, but the real size of an ender 3 is not 225x225, but a nice 235 x235. This is mainly because of the clips to hold the bed in place. Simple way to change this: Go in your slicer, change the values for your ender 3 bed to (let's play safe) 230x230mm and use tape to hold you bed to the bed plate instead of the clips. You will have enough space to print this baby and you will be more than happy for the next projects!!! If you have any questions, just ask! Have fun my friend!

im sorry for asking a dumb question but i just signed up today and have never made a lamp and was hoping to make this which seems easy enough but as far as infill settings go, what should it be for the crystal or lamp back piece? would it be 0% infill for those 2 pieces since its for a lamp? again sorry for the dumb question but im very new to 3d printing in general. your instructions for assembly are great but again im confused on print settings for some items
