Galaxy Edge: lamp, 3D print

Whilst in the queue for the Rise of the Resistance ride, one of the things I noticed where these cool lamps.

Thought they’d be good to CAD up, so placed a popcorn bucket next to one for scale and took photos.


First version was a one piece model but this wouldn’t be printable even on the Ultimaker S5 (height wise) so would only be printable on very large print machines. Also I wasn’t happy about overhang’s and support material wastage. So I sectioned the model up for easier printing and to achieve better quality resolution on the detail pieces.

This base version was from the original design which included the details.

I didn’t print the sides vertically as shown, but flat.
First a single print, then multiples, once I was happy.

The pieces shown in their print orientation.

The base has recessed lips for the details to attach to.

The side pieces being glued together.


The details (6 top, 6 bottom) glued on.
