Covered Bulb Socket Element by mrule

Last crawled date: 4 years, 1 month ago
Update : I have redesigned an interlocking variant : http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7857
This is designed for lamps where the light-bulb is inside a polyhedral shell.
This is a derivative of http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6055. The hinged piece has been mirrored, and pieces to cover the socket have been added.
The covering pictured is built up out of http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6281 these elements. It took me some time to build a permanent light socket for this design.
The biggest pitfall is that the light-bulb is difficult to replace. Perhaps future designs will correct this shortcoming. A threaded or slotted design, perhaps ?
