How to 3D Print Your Own Garden Lamp: A Complete Guide to Functional, Durable Outdoor Lighting
Stuff breaks. It’s a simple fact of life. But, as the saying goes, life isn’t about avoiding every fall—it’s about how you get back up. The same is true for the objects around us: it’s not just about preventing things from breaking, but about how we can repair or replace them when they do. Recently, our 3D printing team was presented with a unique challenge: a broken garden lamp that had been a fixture in the garden for nearly two decades. How did it break? There are a few theories floating around—maybe it was just the wear and tear of 20 years outdoors, or maybe an errant football kick by the owner’s son sealed its fate. Either way, it was clear that a replacement was in order.
Our team set to work, creating a fresh 3D model based on the original lamp design (minus the cracks and layers of tape holding it together). Then, we did what we do best in our print lab: selected the ideal material and
