Illuminated Skull Lamp – Prusament Spool Upcycle

💀 Illuminated Skull Lamp – Prusament Spool Upcycle Give your empty Prusament spool a second life as part of a striking illuminated skull lamp. This project combines a decorative skull model with the functional reuse of a Prusament spool core and side panel. By integrating the spool directly into the design, it becomes both a structural and visual element of the lamp — and honestly, it ends up looking like a pretty cool hat for the skull. 🔧 Concept The skull is designed to work with a standard LED lamp kit and includes a dedicated mounting system for parts of a Prusament spool: • One spool side (with honeycomb structure) • The central core of the spool The core is closed with a customizable cover, turning it into a clean, illuminated centerpiece. ✨ Customizable Light Effect The highlight of this project is the fully customizable front cover: • A plain version of the cover is included • You can easily personalize it with: • Logos • Text • Symbols Thanks to the LED light inside, your design is beautifully backlit and becomes the visual focus of the lamp. 🧠 How to Add Your Own Logo (Simple Workflow) You can customize the cover directly in your slicer: • Select the cover model • Use "Add Modifier" → "SVG" • Import any SVG file (many free sources are available online) • Select the SVG object in the object list • Resize and center the modifier object • Assign a different color/material That's it — your custom design is ready to print and will shine when illuminated. 🧪 Example Included To help you get started, an example version is included: • Skull with bones SVG • Ready to test the multi-color and lighting effect • Ready to print STLs with Prusa Slogan 🎨 Materials Used (Example) For the showcased prints: • Skull & lettering: Prusament PLA Blend Pearl White • Cover: Prusament PLA Galaxy Black This combination creates a strong contrast and enhances the lighting effect. ⚠ Compatibility Note The current design has been tested with Prusament spools featuring cardboard cores. The newer spools with plastic cores are not yet available for testing and are still in transition. If needed, the model will be updated once these are verified. Also note: • The available "Dummy Prusament Spool" models do not fully represent the connection geometry between the individual spool parts • Minor adjustments may therefore be required for perfect compatibility 🖨 Print Recommendations For best results, I recommend printing the model with a layer height of 0.16 mm to achieve a good balance between detail and print time. Supports are only required in the LED lamp cavity (see marked area in the screenshot). No additional supports are necessary for the rest of the model. ♻ Why This Design? This is not just decoration — it's a functional reuse of a Prusament spool: • The spool core becomes part of the structure • The side panel acts as a design element • The system remains modular and easy to assemble • And as a bonus: it gives the skull a distinctive, slightly absurd character — like it's wearing its own recycled crown. 🧩 Requirements • 1× Prusament spool (core + one side panel) • LED lamp kit • Your favorite filament (multi-color recommended for best effect) Turn waste into something eye-catching — and make it truly yours.
