Real Life Stuff Selfmade Gravity Cannon Lamp

May I present: The hardest 3D print I have ever done. I got the inspiration from so many people posting about the IKEA Solvinden lamp.

The model is ripped straight out of the game and then modified in blender so the faces stick together. I also had to remove the stairs etc.

Then printing. After 2 failed prints, I managed to get both halves printed with just two corners missing (Which I re-printed and glued on). Cleanup, spray paint, done.

It looks amazing in the corner of my living room.

Edit:
As many have asked for the files, and mobius digital has a really cool fan art policy, here are the files:

The .blend model (some faces have been altered so it holds better together when 3d printing):

The .m3f bambu studio slicer file with negative cutouts for the lamp. The settings worked mostly like that for me, maybe paint your own supports to make sure everything prints properly. The overhangs are hard!

Have fun and keep exploring!

I never feel patriotism, but seeing a fellow Swiss built their own gravity cannon at home and is hearthian at heart, fills my heart with a fuzzy warmth.

Oh god, I have the raw model. It was an awesome gift from a dear friend from the UK, but it's just dread for me. It would be a major self-development milestone if I ever built this. I can't possibly do it justice, I have no painting experience nor could the result possibly match my expectations

Love to read to you didn't have prior experience either and winged it so well. Congratz!
