Boost Me (for free) If you enjoy my designs, you can support my work with a boost! Boost Update: I added an optional, larger base. Meet Lumy - A fully adjustable desk lamp with three friction-based joints that hold position without needing to readjust the screws every time. Except the light, Lumy is fully 3D-printed, no additional components needed. The four hinges are friciton-based with rotation decoupled screws. This allows you to quickly adjust the position and tilt of the lamp without the need to touch the screws. Please note: The screws are used to set the joint stiffness and may still need occasional tightening. There are two options for the lamp head: An ultra light lamp shade (default) or a slim adapter to decrease the weight of the lamp head even further. Printing This is a friction-based design. It's best to use Basic PLA or PETG. I strongly advise against using matte filaments, as they create too much friction and won't move freely under tension. For the hinges, you should also avoid materials with poor layer adhesion (like matte PLA, silk PLA, etc.). I tested this design with Bambu Lab Basic PLA and PETG HF. The parts are self-supported, but there are a few sections with small manual supports to ensure perfect bridging. Important: The hinge tolerances were deliberately set tight to ensure optimal function. They should go in and out with some resistance, but still be movable with slight force. With some setups, they can be too tight - if that happens, try printing the Higher Clearance inserts and try again. Assembly First, snap the reflector into the lamp shade. Simply put it in and press it against a hard surface. Now you need to assemble the hinges. Take one of each insert and put it into the small arm pieces as shown here. Then push them into the base and secure it with the screw. The inserts only fit into the base in one orientation. If they don't slide in, try rotating them! Once both arms are in place, secure the hinge with a screw. Only gently tighten the screws at this point. Repeat this process with all four hinges. In the two inner hinges, the inserts are inserted into the middle arm piece (the only thicker one). After assembling all hinges, you can put the lamp into the lamp head and secure it with the lamp shade or slim adapter. Now Lumy is ready for use! Use the screws to adjust the hinge tension until the lamp stays in position without collapsing. Be careful not to over-tighten the screws or you could break them.
