architect lamp base (desk clamp)

prusaprinters

<p>I bought a cheap architect lamp from amazon, but the original base/clamp of the lamp didn't fit my desk, so I made my own.</p><p>The clamp is made of 3 parts.&nbsp;</p><ol><li>clamp body: Print laying on the side, so the layers are in the same plane as the bending forces. I recommend at least 3 shells, better 4 for good strength of the part. Infill as you like. I would also recommend to use supports if you have problems with bridging or overhangs.</li><li>thread insert: Print laying flat, that way the surface of the threads is optimal. Use this part to adjust the fitting to screw and clamp body via horizontal expansion parameter</li><li>screw: Print with screw head on the buildplate</li><li>tightening tool: print if you need to. You can tighten the screw with gloves as well.</li></ol><p>&nbsp;</p>
