DIY Smart Bedside Lamp: 3D Printing and Concrete Casting Tutorial

This is a build guide for a lamp that uses 3D printing not only for parts but for molding cement and a lampshade lens. Generally, you think of printing a finished product with a 3D printer not extending the use of printing for making molds and in this case a transparent lens that reflects light.

Not sure what 3D printer to get? I use an Ender 3 V2 and for me, it has been great. It
is my first 3D printer and really if you can think it you can print it. Here are some of the things I have created jasonwinfield.nz/my-stls/
Ender 3 V2: amzn.to/3Tzrxr5
If money is no object the Prusa i3 is a gold-standard printer. I haven't used one myself but the local university has them and swears by them.

looks amazing! I may have to get a 3d printer!

[@JWNZ]

For sure! A bit of a learning curve but once you are up and running they are great to have around.

Hi there, loved the project. Im really interested in making one for myself. Is there a chance that there's no STL for the cable tube on printables?

[@JWNZ]

Yes! I have added it now.

[@tomasvergara8087]

@@JWNZ thank you so much. The model is great and very easy to print. I'll be posting a make once I'm done building mine.

Liked and fully watched! You really need to look into 'promo sm'!

Glad you liked it!
