A whole segment of a bunch of bananas as they grow, but it’s a lamp! The design is based on multiple 3d scans of real bananas. Four different versions are included, both as desk and pendant lamp!
Single and multi-color printing models are included as STL and 3MF! They work with all current and usual multi color setups. Besides multi color printing this design is very much suited for painting. You can get inspiration from the various ripeness stages of bananas and paint it in your preferred state. The bananas are hollow with a wall thickness of 1.6mm. If you want the bananas to glow, please check your filament to see if it is slightly translucent at this thickness.
Versions included A: Pendant and Desk version for E27 (EU) or E26 (US) sockets kits like the Ikea strala that come with a screw-on attachment ring. The diameter of the hole is 44 mm. You can either lay this one sideways on the table or mount it on your ceiling. B: Desk version for E14 (EU) or E12 (US) sockets kits like the Ikea strala that come with a screw-on attachment ring. The diameter of the hole is 40 mm, and the top edge diameter is 30mm. The height from the bottom to the edge is 60 mm. C: Desk version for LED puck cabinet lights like the Bambulab LED lamp kit 001. D: Desk version for E12 (US) sockets kits that come with a spring load clip. The diameter of the hole is 32 mm. The height from the bottom to the edge is 60 mm.

Print settings Important: Do not use any other light source than LED with this Design. Depending on the strength of your LED certain parts of the print might warm up. Your filament has a certain heat deflection temperature that defines at which temperature deformation might occur. Make sure to build a safe product by verifying that the print is not affected by the amount of heat that your light source emits! If you are uncertain or have little experience in building electrified products, please consult a professional! Usually, a strong LED bulb does not get hotter than 50 degrees Celsius while regular PLA does not deform under 58 degrees Celsius. Those are approximate numbers, and you need to verify that for your own product selection.
Required build volume: 220 x 220 x 220 mm Material usage: 400 – 500 g
Material: Filament that can handle the heat that your light source emits. Print direction: stls are rotated correctly, check images Support: none Nozzle size: 0,4 mm Line width: 0,4 mm Layer height 0,2 mm Infill: 15% Speed: If you are using a high-speed printer like a bambulab machine, be aware that slowing things down towards the upper part may improve surface quality. Build plate adhesion type: A brim is advised but not necessary
