Summary

I have always enjoyed the Christmas Story movie, especially the leg lamp scene. I figured someone must have designed a printable version, and sure enough a search produced 2 designs I liked.

Christmas Story leg lamp remix for LED lighting https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1978458 by cmh(Chris Heerschap) https://www.thingiverse.com/cmh/about

and Christmas Story Leg Lamp https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2648470 by jetpuf (Brian Webber) https://www.thingiverse.com/jetpuf/about

I liked jetpuf's separation of cmh's design, and decided I could try to add small battery powered LED's to the design, so here is my remix.

Thanks Chris and Brian!! Enjoy!!!

Printed leg at 0.1mm height for better "curves" and hollow for light to shine without structure showing. Printed leg in white PLA and colored the shoe red with a Sharpie marker even though the shoe was black in the movie, I wanted it to stand out from the black base.</p><p>Print the shade low density to allow light through, I printed 5%.  I used 0.3mm height.  Update: I printed the larger one labeled 130 and I prefer that scale and size for this print.  I've added a picture and made it the cover photo, also, I added a picture of the smaller one on top for comparison.</p><p>Printed the base at 20%, 0.3mm height, but you can print how you best see fit.  The base prints standing up to allow the pins to print correctly.  I printed without supports and it came out fine.</p><p>I remixed the leg and lamp shade to allow them to hold 2 LED's, pictured.  Got them off Amazon.  I had to cut off the loop attachment on top of the LED's to get them to fit. </p><p><a rel="ugc nofollow" href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JSHX4S6/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1">https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JSHX4S6/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1</a></p><p>I couldn't figure out how jetpuf's design attached the leg to the base, so I modeled some pins into the base and then some hollow cutouts in the bottom of the foot on the leg.</p><p>My design software is the basic XYZmaker that comes with the printer, so hopefully the files will work for you.</p><p>Finally, I replicated both size shades that jetpuf included, the 130 size being bigger.</p><p>Merry Christmas everyone and hope you enjoyed this as much as I did printing and putting in my front window to tease my wife and kids!!</p></div>
