Print your own light.
DeskLamp is a modular, poseable desk lamp you configure in live 3D and print at home. Clamp it to the desk, screw it together with printed bolts, add one E27 socket and bulb — the only parts you buy. No screws, no glue, no inserts.
One lamp,
your rules
Every part of DeskLamp is a decision you make with a click — and the 3D preview rebuilds your exact lamp in real time. What you see is literally what you print.
Modular reach
Chain 2, 4, 6 — up to 12 alternating modules. A compact bedside light or a huge workshop boom, from the same two printed parts.
Clamps to the desk
A printed clamp with a pressure screw grips tabletops up to 75 mm — three sizes, picked in the configurator. Screw-on and weighted freestanding bases are next in line.
Poseable, re-poseable
Joints tighten with printed bolts, washers and nuts. Swing it aside, fold it flat over the keyboard, aim light exactly where work happens.
Real filament colors
37 official Bambu Lab PLA colors with spool codes. Color per part group — or go advanced and tint every single bolt.
Printed, not purchased
Bolts, nuts, washers — they all come off your print bed, every thread printed in the orientation that gives it maximum strength. The whole shopping list: one E27 corded socket and a bulb.
Standard E27 head
Any E27 bulb works: warm white, smart RGB, vintage filament. The lamp is a frame for whatever light you love.

The configurator does the CAD. Your printer does the manufacturing. You do the twenty minutes of satisfying assembly.
Configure
Pick module count, pose, mount, shade and colors. The 3D preview assembles your exact lamp as you click.
Download & slice
One .3mf project for Bambu Studio: plates grouped by color, filaments pre-assigned, print profile dialed in.
Print & assemble
Print plate by plate, screw the arm together, drop in the E27 socket, twist a bulb. Lights on.
Besides your prints, the only things you buy are a standard E27 socket with a cord and an E27 bulb — a smart bulb if you want app control. The arm, joints, clamp, shade and all the hardware are printed.

Questions
What do I need besides the printed parts?
Exactly one store-bought component: an E27 lamp holder with a power cord and switch (example on Amazon — any similar cord set works) plus an E27 bulb and PLA filament. No metal screws, no glue, no inserts: all bolts, nuts and washers are printed, with every thread designed to print in the orientation that gives it the highest strength. See the interactive 3D assembly guide.
Which printers can print it?
The generated project targets a 256×256 mm bed (Bambu A1, P1, X1 and similar) and Bambu Studio syncs it to your printer profile on open. The A1 mini works too with the 120 or 165 mm module lengths — just lay the arm modules along the diagonal of the build plate in the slicer. The longest 210 mm modules need a full-size bed.
How thick can my desk top be?
Three printed clamp sizes cover tops up to 75 mm: clamp 40 for 0–35 mm, clamp 60 for 36–55 mm, clamp 80 for 56–75 mm. A screw-mounted base and a weighted freestanding base (you fill it with sand) are in development.
What print settings does it use?
The project comes pre-configured: PLA, 0.2 mm layers, 20% gyroid infill, 3 walls — and every part is already laid out in its tested print orientation.
Is this on MakerWorld?
DeskLamp is a TanskyLab project by Tansky. The generator will live alongside our other MakerWorld-connected tools, and supporter codes from MakerWorld will unlock downloads here.
