Concrete lamp

thingiverse

This is a mold to create a concrete lamp base for a IKEA glass vase. All credits for the design go to Glen at DIY Creators https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kb9vXZfTYoA&t=0s&index=33&list=WL. If you follow the link you will find the original instructions on how to create the lamp base ... Like casting the concrete etc. Since I have a 3D-printer I decided to make a more high-tech version of the mold ;-) The base part is printed with support - but the other two parts should be possible to print without any support. When all three parts have been printed they are assembled (see attached image) and I used duct tape to make sure that they stayed together when I poured the concrete in. Unfortunately the mold can only be used once as its impossible to remove it from the concrete without breaking it. I used a lighter to heat up the plastic after the casting process had completed which makes it easy to remove. The mold fits the IKEA 602.233.28 vase snugly Parts list: - <a href="https://www.ikea.com/es/en/products/decoration/vases-bowls/cylinder-vase-clear-glass-art-60223328/?bvstate=pg:2/ct:r"> IKEA vase</a> - <a href="http://amzn.to/2koQPfq"> LED string Amazon</a> or <a href="https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Magicnight-150-Leds-50FT-Led-Plug-in-String-Starry-Light-Copper-Wire-Outdoor-Decorative-Fairy-Lights/32771277426.html"> Aliexpress </a> - Concrete - A nice looking branch
