Functionalist Wall-Mounted Lamp Arm

This is a wall-mounted lamp arm designed around a standard 8×30 mm dowel. I had IKEA dowels on hand while testing, but any dowel of the same size should work. The idea started after noticing a wooden lamp arm on a friend’s grow light. It was clearly designed for mass production in wood—simple geometry, fixed holes, sharp transitions. It worked, but it was also shaped by manufacturing cost and process constraints. I wanted to explore what that same idea looks like when it’s designed specifically for 3D printing instead.This became a design practice exercise focused on proportions, print behavior, and making the mounting and assembly more forgiving.What went into the designThe overall form is simple, but the details are where this differs from more manufacturing-driven designs:Countersunk, slotted mounting holes to make alignment easier when anchor holes end up slightly offFilleted transitions throughout for smoother prints and reduced stressRelief features on the underside to break up l
