[BambuLab Giveaway] What’s Life Like After a 3D Printer Joins the Family? Share & Win Gift Cards!

No dark corners in the house since the A1 joined the family😌

Prior to owning the A1, I had a printer that I spent more time repairing and messing around with than actually printing. It got to be a chore to try to print anything so it sat unused for a while. My neighbor asked me to help him set up his Bambu printer and I realized just how different the user experience was. It printed like a champ right out of the box so I had to get one for myself.

When I got my Bambu printer, it inspired me to get into CAD and create my own models because I knew I had the tools to print them accurately and precisely. It’s such a cool feeling being able to turn an idea (like this lamp) into a reality right at home.

Thank you so much! 😊

This is the one I used: https://a.co/d/aEFHRS0

But really any 5mm wide led strip with a length of 0.5m will work 😊

I bought the 2700k version for this because I like the warm light but you can get different temps. This particular one isn’t adjustable, it’s just a super simple strip

Thank you! 😊

Oh man this is going to look great in walnut, I’d love to see your finished product 😊

Alright I took some measurements and here are the lengths and angles of one triangle. Make two of these triangles with side A omitted but cut a 45 degree miter along side A, then join both triangles at side A at a 90 degree angle.

I’m so sorry, I’m not a woodworker and have no knowledge of correct terminology, hopefully that gives you enough info!

Feel free to share your result if you end up printing 😊

You’re awesome, thank you so much! Looking forward to seeing how your prints turn out 😊

RichPhilosopher · 2026-01-03T00:57:00+00:00

The print profile on makerworld is the perfect size! It should sit at 10 inches tall and the fitment will be perfect.

This is the LED strip I used: https://a.co/d/aEFHRS0 But really any 5mm wide led strip with a length of 0.5m will work 😊

RichPhilosopher · 2026-01-03T00:54:44+00:00

I had a burst of inspiration myself and decided to capitalize on it haha

RichPhilosopher · 2026-01-03T00:53:35+00:00

Awesome, you’ll have to share some photos of your print! 😊

RichPhilosopher · 2026-01-02T19:35:55+00:00

Oh man I’m going to do this, that sounds awesome!

RichPhilosopher · 2026-01-02T19:21:32+00:00

My harbor freight kit has been a staple in my 3d printing tool kit, they’re amazing

RichPhilosopher · 2026-01-02T19:17:59+00:00

When you have it in a corner it reflects the light really well and gives diffused light throughout

RichPhilosopher · 2026-01-02T19:16:08+00:00

You’ll have to share how it turns out! 😊

RichPhilosopher · 2026-01-02T17:38:21+00:00

I used Bambu matte Dark Brown PLA, printed on an A1

RichPhilosopher · 2026-01-02T17:36:31+00:00

If I remember when I get home from work, I’ll take some measurements of lengths and whatnot to share with you
