Moon night Light
Hey,
Discover my Moon Night Light, crafted with attention to detail for a serene and realistic moonlit ambiance!
Here's your guide to printing it, but remember, you'll need to buy a lamp socket and a bulb separately.
Moon (the shade): Print it solid with no supports to maintain the delicate lunar surface details. Set the layer height at 0.2mm and the width at 0.4mm. Use concentric infill at 100%, or alternatively, set the wall thickness to about 100mm, which I find gives the best representation of the moon's surface. I'll upload the Cura Profile I used for printing. Feel free to import it, but ensure the layer width and height match, as they sometimes import inaccurately.
Plate and Cylinder: These components are straightforward to print with any preferred profile and do not need supports.
Assembly: Refer to the last image for the internal arrangement. The cylinder can be gently compressed to fit into the plate's hole.

Enjoy illuminating your space with this moon lamp!
You can scale up the lamp size as you like. The shades showcased here are compatible with this lamp's socket. In fact, this moon shade can be easily mounted on both the lamps I've mentioned (more information to follow).
Common Problems and Solutions: Issue with Slicing the Moon Model: If you encounter a slicing error, slightly scale the model up, say to 100.1%, and try slicing again. Plate Doesn't Fit: If the plate isn't fitting properly, adjust its scale in the X and Y directions until it fits your needs.
Get ready to experience the tranquil beauty of moonlight in your own home!
























Hi there, do I understand this right with either infill density 100% or wall thickness 100mm this thing is almost solid inside? I am new to 3D printing and when I slice the model in Bambu studio (I print on an A1) I get a hollow sphere either by doing 240 wall loops at 04mm layer width or by infill density 100% and therefore I am confused how it should be.
Do you have Amazon links for the light bulb fixture used? The links provided on eBay do not work.
The links to the light fittings do not work for me (from Australia).
Do you have a file version that works with Bambu Studio?
I'm still learning a lot about 3D printing and I know there is a lot more to learn, my question for now is, what color and type of filament did you use to make the Moon shade? Thank you for your help.
Hey, white PLA will work. I used Polymaker Polyterra to be specific.
the moon looks great in amolen or esun marble like pla.
