Description
Please read the entire text before printing! I often make the mistake of not doing so. If you like the model, consider supporting my future projects: https://boosty.to/artificialworld/donate.
1. Model:
Moon
Appr. diameter: 210 mm
Surface: Moon Displacement Map + Moon Color Map (Lithophane). Both from NASA
Adapter
Important note: I use a tiny USB light (link to Amazon USB light) with a USB extension cable (link to Amazon USB extension cable), so that my adapter only needs a hole for a cable. You may need to look at "LightPlacement (BetterFit).stl" to edit it according to your own needs
Opening diameter: 58 mm. This means that you can fit a cylinder with a 58 mm diameter inside the lamp
Connection type: Bayonet Connection
Maximum slope of overhangs: 45 degrees. Thus, you will face no issues with overhangs
Tolerances were tested thoroughly, so the adapter fits easily
Stand
Appr. width: 180 mm
Appr. height: 58 mm
2. Printing Instructions:
I printed the Moon Lamp with a Flashforge Adventurer 5M with 0.4 mm nozzle
Moon
Recommended material: Basic white PLA
Layer height: 0.2 mm
Sparse infill density: 100%
Brim type: Outer and inner brim
Brim width: 65 mm. You can print it without a brim, but I had a problem when the printing was almost finished, so next time I set the brim to maximum
Adapter ring modifier (optional, but saves a lot of material):
Sparse infill density: 5%
Sparse infill pattern: Grid
Everything else is default orca slicer settings.
Adapter Halves
Recommended material: Basic white PLA
Layer height: 0.2 mm
Sparse infill density: 5%
Sparse infill pattern: Grid
Optional (Improves adhesion to the plate):
Brim type: Outer brim only
Brim width: 5 mm
Everything else is default orca slicer settings
Stand
Recommended material: Brown PLA with 15% wood
Layer height: 0.2 mm
Sparse infill density: 5%
Sparse infill pattern: Grid
Position below plate: 1.05 mm. This increases the bottom surface area
Fuzzy skin: Contour
Fuzzy skin noise type: Classic
Fuzzy skin point distance: 0.5 mm
Fuzzy skin thickness: 0.5 mm
Top surface floor ratio: 1.7. Adds a fuzzy texture to top surfaces
Top surface pattern: Hilbert Curve
Enable support: true
Support type: Tree (auto)
Optional (Improves adhesion to the plate):
Initial layer height: 0.4 mm
Initial layer speed: 25 mm/s
Everything else is default orca slicer settings

All content not listed in the "Attribution" section was created by me from scratch. I have evidence to prove this, including screenshots, videos, and original files. An important difference from many other moon lamp models is that I prioritize the displacement map over the color map for the outer surface. I also cancel the displacement map's effect on color by applying it to both sides of the wall. Lithophane-only model (left) vs my model (right):
The general concept of a "Moon Lamp" has been explored by creators such as @thisis3dprinted, @FrankDeschner, u/moononournation, @omgwtflolbbq_462312. I saw their content at one point or another and decided to mention them here, even though my model is only based on the general idea of a Moon Lamp, which cannot be attributed to any single individual.
