Warp Core Table Lamp

NOTE: This is really a "Make" post, but is posted as a "Remix" because I made minor changes to two parts and Thingiverse won't let me attach the revised STLs on a "Make" post. Only those (2) parts are included here. Please refer to the original thing for all other components.

This was a challenging project. The parts are large, with some taking 4-6 hours EACH to print. I used silver ABS for the structure, and white (Natural) HIPS for the lights. I initially tried transparent ABS for the lights, but had some significant problems with shrinkage causing the lowest ring of the light to be distorted during the print. Moving to the white HIPS mostly resolved that. I also tried transparent PETG, which printed perfectly, but did not like the "shiny" or "wet" appearance of the PETG for this project. The Natural HIPS does a good job of light transmission, and looks more authentic than the transparent ABS or PETG.
