The king's crown looks fantastic.

Enjoyed the story. Great pics in this thread but needs more Ted.

Thinking I had solved the problem, I quickly rebuilt the light using the existing column that withstood the wind, with a plastic build (Infill 90%) and slid the new section over the still standing column to a depth of 30cm, But again the wind found the weak spot and it snapped it off.. Mark 4…

How many perimeters do you use?

@Nini, Explain please ?... I'm lost...

I think in Cura they call it "wall thickness".

Straight from CURA.. Layer thickness .3mm.. Shell thickness .3mm..Layer height .3mm..
Fill Density on the old lamp was 90% and 35% 0n Johnny 5..

This will confuse the hell out of @stratman...

Just like Australian rules football.

Who's this Johnny 5? I know Jonny Quest and my cousin Johnny. Is Johnny 5 some robot from Doctor Who?

I'm also a bit confused because I'm not a Cura user. I was after the number of perimeters or wall thickness. If that's really 0.3mm then it would be less than the normal 0.4 nozzle, so it probably means something else. Reason I asked, I remember seeing some strength testing and it turned out that increasing the number of perimeters was more effective than increasing the infill. Something like 4-6 perimeters (or >2mm) should be nice and strong.

I have been calling the Mark 5 lamp standard Johnny 5 since its inception, so you must have been on holidays a long time..

This is what I have and use and that’s it, but I’m quite happy with the results, if I could increase them more I would.. The more help the better..

Shell thickness looks good - 3mm (rather than 0.3mm), which makes good sense for your lamp.

Thanks @ninj...
