Improvements since the prototype:<br />
1) Split up into four parts to allow for larger printing.  Assumes a max build height of 8.5-9ish cm.<br />
2) Base parts have threading so they just screw together.  Top part is now printed upside-down to give it a nicer exterior surface.<br />
3) Holes for wiring and adding switches.

            <title>IKEA Not Lamp wall sconce mod</title>
            <link>http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:15359</link>
            <description><![CDATA[<div style="margin: 5px;"><a href="http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:15359"><img src="http://thingiverse-production.s3.amazonaws.com/renders/ad/db/69/bd/8b/IMG_20120103_013330_preview_large.jpg" alt="" class="render" style="width: 240px; height: 180px" /></a><br/></div><div>The $8 Ikea "Not" lamp is a great cheap floor lamp, and I've got several at home. I realized though that a few of the lamps I have would be nicer if they didn't need to rest on the floor, so I designed and printed this simple bracket that allows you to mount one on your wall. Its 6 5/8" long so its no good for a MakerBot, but it fits great on my Ultimaker and I think RepRaps could do it too.<br />
<br />
Mine was printed with .35mm layer height (the "Low" quality profile in NetFabb) and 4.9mm infill spacing. Its a bit springy but I wanted a quick print to make sure it would even work. I'd recommend tighter infill like 2-3mm spacing for less springy-ness, which will be apparent when you switch it on, if you don't use a switched outlet.<br />
<br />
Ikea lamp is here:<br />
<a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10139879/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10139879/</a><br />
<br />
But they have plenty of cheap wall sconces, so this is more for those who want to convert an existing lamp. I do want to say though that I'm pretty happy for coming up with a real useful 3D print here.

I know there are other attempts of vertexes - so this is just an additional one. <br />
<br />
There is a version with feet and one without. <br />
For a Mendel / Prusa Mendel, 6 vertexes are necessary. You can print two without feet and four with feet<br />
<br />
Comments are welcome!<br />
<br />
--> Please mind: this is for M8 rod!<br />
<br />
<b>Comments after the first print:</b><br />
The vertex without feet weights 12 grams.<br />
I printed it in ABS with 4 shells, 0.35mm nozzle, and with relatively coarse infill (you can see the infill on the picture of the vertexes while printing). <br />
If I calculate that weight back to filament length it tells me that it takes about 1650mm of 3mm feedstock to print one of these.<br />
<br />
<b>Comments after the second print:</b><br />
Printed the version with feet now. <br />
Again in ABS, this time with 2 shells, 0.35mm nozzle, same coarse infill and they are 11 grams. They feel really robust but I did not screw a frame together yet so still needs to be tested if two such thin shells are ok.

<br />
I drew this from scratch and spent quite a while tweaking the model to have a fuller more natural look. It helps if you can keep the "branches" from cooling too much while it loops them around. If they go stiff too fast, then the branches don't droop down enough and it ruins the effect.<br />
<br />
I had to slow my printer down to 20mm/s to avoid serial port errors causing it to crash, which of course allows the branches to cool too much before letting them drop. Putting a towel over the printer helped trap the heat, but I think it looks better if you can print it at around 35-50mm/s

            <description><![CDATA[<div style="margin: 5px;"><a href="http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:14628"><img src="http://thingiverse-production.s3.amazonaws.com/renders/5a/90/5e/bd/77/IMG_5943_preview_large.jpg" alt="" class="render" style="width: 240px; height: 180px" /></a><br/></div><div>Light up the inside of your Makerbot Thing-O-Matic!  This mounting bracket supports an LED module that was originally designed to be used as a replacement for halogen (12VDC) lamps.  The screw holes on the brackets match the hole spacing of the "unused / extra" rod support on the top front of the Thing-O-Matic.  Inset nuts allow easy installation.  You don't even need to make holes in your Thing-O-Matic!

            <description><![CDATA[<div style="margin: 5px;"><a href="http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:13359"><img src="http://thingiverse-production.s3.amazonaws.com/renders/00/bf/0f/99/fd/bikeblock_preview_large.jpg" alt="" class="render" style="width: 240px; height: 180px" /></a><br/></div><div>PROBLEM!  Your totally sweet bike does not currently emit enough light to allow you to ride in the dark without endangering yourself and/or your aformentioned totally sweet ride.  What to do?<br />
<br />
Well, there are a number of options open to you: you could hoard radium and staple it to your pedals, but that might cause things to glow in situations where it's not appropriate (for instance, secret missions).  Glow sticks can be tough to find in a pinch, and taste <i>horrible</i>.  Purpose-built bicycle headlamps can cost an arm and a leg and aren't really useful outside of bicycle-bound illumination.<br />
<br />
In an effort to redress all of this, I've created an adapter that allows you to attach a small flashlight to the handlebars of your very own bicycle.  Get a good standalone flashlight, and attach it to your bike only when you need a light!  I use a 4sevens Quark Mini 123, but practically any small flashlight should fit.<br />
<br />
This thing prints just fine without support, even if the geometry looks a little weird.

<br />
Houses and commercial premises have big banks of light switches. I can never remember if the third from the left is the kitchen fan or the light.<br />
<br />
Using 3D printing you can create lightswitches suitable for complicated environments. This design uses thin sections that allow the switch to flex onto a membrane switch. The design includes a standard grid for the membrane switches - any suitably qualified electrician can wire it up for you.<br />

Suitable for use in our neurotic times. They snap onto a standard $1.99 nightlight from the hardware store.<br />
<br />
There were a lot of possibilities for subject matter in designing this.  I finally settled on these four:<br />
1. Economic Instability (or Your @$%$*! Mutual Funds)<br />
2. The Lawyer Next Door - (Maybe he's trolling Thingiverse looking for your Lego or Tintin Derivatives) (Sorry I don't have the resolution to get the Porsche logo on the sunglasses)<br />
3. Bedbugs! (Are you itchy or is it...?)<br />
4. Argument That You Lost in College -  This one comes from a study that I read about a few years ago where they interviewed Yale students to find out what they were thinking about in times of introspection.  The researchers were surprised to find that they weren't thinking about sex as expected but about winning arguments that they had lost.  Hence the ultimate humiliating College Intellectual put-down - "That's a Tautology Dude!"<br />

It is a lamp made of only printed parts, it doesn't need any tools to assemble (if well printed) and no glue or screws (only a piece of steel wire or a cable tie to fix it on the bulb holder). <br />
<br />
The Lamp on the photos is printed with a 0.5mm nozzle. I used PLA silver for the segments and white ABS for the rings. One element took about 7 hours to print on my setup :)

The name Hex-a-Fnord is based on the hexagonal base structure and 6 moodlights called "fnordlichtmini" (see <a href="http://wiki.lochraster.org/wiki/Fnordlichtmini" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">wiki.lochraster.org/wiki/Fnordlichtmini</a> for details)<br />
<br />
My intention was to have a light-installaton with moving wings holding moodlights. The wings themselves are controlled via servo motors. <br />
So we have 6 servo connectors... perfect for an arduino with 6 PWM-outputs. And if you use LEDs or, as I did, the fnordlichtmini, then the light can be controlled by an serial bus system.<br />
<br />
Oh by the way: Of cause you can move each wing separately.<br />
This thing however just describes the construction. I used 4mm plywood, which is recommended in this edition. A laser cutter is helpful but not mandatory.<br />
<br />
Electronics and holes for light are not included, just add it to your needs.

I created this for the "Spielplatz" exhibition of photography and video art at Raststätte in Aachen/Germany (http://raststaette.org).<br />
<br />
The projection is done using a simple DLP projector and a hemispheric mirror. Using the hemispheric mirror I'm able to fully project onto the whole dome from the inside with just a single projector. Here is a great video by Michael Kowalczyk of the Projectahedron in action:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://vimeo.com/28900633" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">vimeo.com/28900633</a><br />
<br />
In this first version the projected image is severely distorted. I'm planning to measure/calculate a correct mapping function for the system which eliminates the distortions. You will be able to display undistorted images on the faces then.<br />
<br />
The Dodecahedron was created using variations of the great OpenSCAD scripts from <a href="http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:9359" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">thingiverse.com/thing:9359</a> .<br />
<br />
If you want to install or exhibit my Projectahedron anywhere, please feel free to contact me.

The shade was designed as a stylized, almost toony candle shape meant to evoke the idea of a candle and not to reproduce the real life shape.  Some spirals sculpted into the side, inverted perspective shaping, and the suggestion of the wick complete the look.
