Ikea Lampan Hack

thingiverse

During the Eindhoven Mini Maker Faire visitors made amazing designs for the Ikea Lampan lampshade. Drawing their designs in 2d on a piece of paper an interactive installation transformed their ideas live into a 3d model. Lots of pretty drawings were made and we want to share them with you! So get yourself an Ikea Lampan and start hacking! More information about the Eindhoven Mini Maker Faire:http://makezine.com/2014/04/04/a-splendid-day-in-eindhoven/ Instructions We used colorFabb PLA/PHA filament for the lampshades. Since it's a PLA filament it does mean that a LED or Energy Saving Lamp must be used. An ordinary lamp will generate too much heat which will make the PLA very pliable. You can print the designs with or without the top. We also recommend the spiralize outer contour mode available in Cura.
