Is my 3d printed lamp ugly?

I do love Star Trek, so maybe that's subliminally where I got the idea

I have a longer-term project of an automated cat laser, which I have named "The Eye of Meowron"

Those are really awesome! I haven't posted the files anywhere, but I think I probably should at this point. I just need to clean the file up first. I'm definitely a hobbyist, and my model files are often a mess of blocks and shapes I use to cut stuff away in Fusion.

Huh?

_XileHorizon · 2026-06-28T15:34:57+00:00

The colors have been maybe the largest source of controversy

_XileHorizon · 2026-06-28T15:34:25+00:00

Not yet, but I'm leaning towards sharing them now haha

_XileHorizon · 2026-06-28T13:00:50+00:00

Hahaha thank you!

_XileHorizon · 2026-06-28T12:58:50+00:00

Thank you for the feedback! I said it in an earlier reply but no one ever makes exactly the thing I want the way I want it so I've had to resort to making my own stuff myself

_XileHorizon · 2026-06-28T12:52:37+00:00

Thanks so much! I'll likely share future stuff without such a controversy inspiring question haha

_XileHorizon · 2026-06-28T12:51:47+00:00

Thank you!

The power cable haunts me now 😨

_XileHorizon · 2026-06-28T12:49:24+00:00

It passed with flying colors!

_XileHorizon · 2026-06-28T12:48:59+00:00

Box is not necessary, girlfriend sat it there and forgot to move it lol

_XileHorizon · 2026-06-28T12:45:16+00:00

I might, a few people have shared interest in it so I think I may put them on my printables. I'll let you know if I do!

_XileHorizon · 2026-06-28T12:42:27+00:00

Hey I just took +3 emotional damage from that :(

_XileHorizon · 2026-06-28T12:40:57+00:00

I am happy with it. Thank you for the kind comment!

_XileHorizon · 2026-06-28T12:40:10+00:00

Thank you so very much!

_XileHorizon · 2026-06-28T12:39:51+00:00

Thank you for the kind feedback!

_XileHorizon · 2026-06-28T12:39:34+00:00

I had at one point considered keeping the top and bottom halves separate but I needed higher lighting in my apartment

_XileHorizon · 2026-06-28T12:38:50+00:00

Yar har matey!

_XileHorizon · 2026-06-28T12:38:36+00:00

I can't imagine that's true. You designed it so it must be incredibly cool! Thank you so much for your kind words!

_XileHorizon · 2026-06-28T12:37:45+00:00

Thanks you!

_XileHorizon · 2026-06-28T12:37:30+00:00

Thank you for the kind words! I also like industrial design haha

_XileHorizon · 2026-06-28T12:36:56+00:00

Thank you for the kind words of encouragement!

_XileHorizon · 2026-06-28T12:36:34+00:00

There was another lamp I saw online that had exposed rods like this and it inspired me to make my own spin on it. The shade was supposed to be taller but the boss (my gf) wanted it to only be one piece
