https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/7b152be7-7cf5-4bfd-992d-17baadcaef44 To make these customised lamps you can use the openscad scripts included at the bottom of this video description area. Download the free open-source openscad software for Windows, Linux and Mac from the official website:- https://www.openscad.org/ Once installed, clear the text area and copy and paste in your chosen script from down below. There are three. Diamond, Obelisk Quartz crystal and Globe quartz crystal. You can change several variables as desired to create globes with custom base and body sizes. By design, the globes will print as a hollow shell with a wall thickness of about 1mm. I recommend using natural/transparent PLA for the best light output, but you could also use white or colours for a solid visual shape. For safety you could use a flame retarded printing filament, but I don't use that myself. The lamps you use with this will need downrated to around 3W as shown to keep the housing cool and make the light last longer. Running at full power may cause thermal issues with the cover.

Here's the first script. It's for the diamond shaped lamp. //Lamp cap diamond. //You can adjust the five variables below base=40; //Diameter of base for lamp rim=5; //Length of rim at base size=60; //Size of diamond facets=6; //Number of sides (default 6) scaling=0.66; //Ratio of length to width (default 0.66) //Don't change variables below here halfsize=size/2; $fn=facets; difference(){ union(){ //outer body translate([0,0,0]) cylinder(h=4+rim,d1=base,d2=base,$fn=100); translate([0,0,-(base/2)+rim]) cylinder(h=halfsize,d1=0,d2=size); translate([0,0,halfsize-(base/2)+rim]) cylinder(h=sizescaling,d1=size,d2=0); } //Inner core. translate([0,0,-1]) cylinder(h=6+rim,d1=base-2,d2=base-2,$fn=100); translate([0,0,-(base/2)+rim+1]) cylinder(h=halfsize-1,d1=0,d2=size-2); translate([0,0,halfsize-(base/2)+rim]) cylinder(h=sizescaling-1.5,d1=size-2,d2=0); translate([-halfsize,-halfsize,-halfsize]) cube([size,size,halfsize]); //x-ray box //translate([-80,-80,-50]) //cube([160,80,260]); } Here's the second script. It creates the quartz crystal that tapers to the top. //Lamp cap obelisk quartz crystal. //You can adjust the five variables below base=40; //Diameter of base for lamp rim=4; //Length of rim at base size=60; //Diameter of crystal scaling=1.5; //Scale of crystal length (default 1.5) facets=6; //number of faces (default 6) //Don't change variables below here halfsize=size/2; upper=halfsize-(base/2)+rim; $fn=facets; difference(){ union(){ //outer body translate([0,0,0]) cylinder(h=4+rim,d1=base,d2=base,$fn=100); translate([0,0,-(base/2)+rim]) cylinder(h=halfsize,d1=0,d2=size); translate([0,0,upper]) cylinder(h=sizescaling,d1=size,d2=size/2); translate([0,0,upper+sizescaling]) cylinder(h=size/4,d1=size/2,d2=0); } //Inner core. translate([0,0,-1]) cylinder(h=6+rim,d1=base-2,d2=base-2,$fn=100); translate([0,0,-(base/2)+rim+1]) cylinder(h=halfsize-1,d1=0,d2=size-2); translate([0,0,upper]) cylinder(h=sizescaling,d1=size-2,d2=(size/2)-2); translate([0,0,upper+sizescaling]) cylinder(h=(size/4)-1,d1=(size/2)-2,d2=0); translate([-halfsize,-halfsize,-halfsize]) cube([size,size,halfsize]); //x-ray box //translate([-80,-80,-50]) //cube([160,80,280]); } And the third script that creates a globe-like quartz crystal. //Lamp cap globe-style quartz crystal. //You can adjust the five variables below base=44; //Diameter of base for lamp rim=4; //Length of rim at base size=60; //Diameter of crystal facets=6; //Number of sides (default 6) scaling=1.5; //Scale of crystal length (default 1.5) //Don't change variables below here half=size/2; upper=half-(base/2)+rim; $fn=facets; difference(){ union(){ //outer body translate([0,0,0]) cylinder(h=4+rim,d1=base,d2=base,$fn=100); translate([0,0,-(base/2)+rim]) cylinder(h=half,d1=0,d2=size); translate([0,0,upper]) cylinder(h=sizescaling,d1=size,d2=half3); translate([0,0,upper+sizescaling]) cylinder(h=(half3)/2,d1=half3,d2=0); } //Inner core. translate([0,0,-1]) cylinder(h=6+rim,d1=base-2,d2=base-2,$fn=100); translate([0,0,-(base/2)+rim+1]) cylinder(h=half-1,d1=0,d2=size-2); translate([0,0,upper]) cylinder(h=sizescaling,d1=size-2,d2=(half3)-2); translate([0,0,upper+sizescaling]) cylinder(h=(half3)/2-1.5,d1=(half3)-2,d2=0); translate([-half,-half,-half]) cube([size,size,half]); //x-ray box //translate([-80,-80,-50]) //cube([160,80,280]); } Wed, 15 Apr 2026 15:43:18 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://stream.echo6.co https://stream.echo6.co/client/assets/images/icons/icon-512x512.png https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/7b152be7-7cf5-4bfd-992d-17baadcaef44 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://stream.echo6.co/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
