For Christmas, I’m making the famous leg lamp from “A Christmas Story” for one of my family members. He’s always been a big fan of the movie and the leg lamp has become a running gag between us.
However, making the lamp does pose a few unique problems. One issue is that I will need to run an electrical wire through the leg itself to provide power to the led light that I will put in it. I figure I have two options, I can either put a hole through the leg in the cad and then print it that way, or I can change the print settings. What I’m trying first is to create the leg with 0% infill, but I’m increasing the number of exterior walls to compensate. Hopefully this provides a leg that is still structurally sound, but allows me to put the wire through the inside of the leg.
