Modern Corrugate Hanging Lamp

This design was inspired by my current internship, I work at a packaging design company and interact with corrugate sheets everyday. This instructable will show you how to make a modern hanging lamp without breaking the bank.
Supplies
2 part epoxy
PLA
Clamp light from lowes
Gather Supplies



This instructable will require a
Clamp light from lowes
LED Bulbs also available at lowes
PLA filament
To begin unhinge the clamp light from the aluminum dish, just unscrew the clamp holding it all together to reveal a single light fixture
Creating the Fushion 360 File

First Open up fashion 360.
Create a sketch on the bottom plane, draw a circle with a radius of 3.8
Copy the sketch on the image above and use the circular pattern
Extrude

Extrude the sketch and edit form
Once you edit from go to modify and select an edge
Manipulate the edge until you see fit or matches the design
After your design is where you want it, thicken to 0.20
Cut a Hole for the Light Fixture

Construct an offset plane from the bottom till it is above the model
Sketch a hole on the new offset plane and cut down
Create the Supports for the Fixture

Create another offset plane, this time around the top of the model
Extrude up a circle around the hole, offset the sketch around the hole .3 inches
Cut Holes for the Switch

Create a sketch at the top of the model, make a square that is .3 x .3 and cut
Make sure to fillet all sharp edges after
Export Your File As a STL and Bring Into Cura

Make sure your file prints upright, also make sure that adhesion and supports are checked on and also 20% infill

Print your file, I like to keep my extruder at 235 and my bed at 65 for PLA
Sand and Prepare

After your file is printed do a light sanding with 180 grit and move up to 250 grit sandpaper
Use 2 Part Epoxy to Adhere Lighting Fixture to Print



Mix up the 2 part epoxy and apply around the rim of the fixture
then push fixture into the print and set down on its side to dry
allow proper drying time also only use in a well ventilated area
Screw in Your Bulb and Enjoy!
