The Gravity Lamp: A Sculptural 3D Printed Lamp Shaped by Gravity

In our Studio, Gravity's pattern is grown: walls spread over a sphere, fold as they run out of room and press together into bundles, leaving rounded pools between them. Gravity then pulls on them, and the walls that reach furthest sideways bend most toward the table.

As the Studio opens it, Gravity is 169 mm across and 154 mm tall. It prints in one piece, sphere, walls and foot together, with a separate LED housing that locks into the foot. Lit by Bambu Lab's LED Lamp Kit 001, the sphere glows from within and the walls lay lines of light and shade across it.

The slider runs from 9.8 m/s² upward, through zero, to 9.8 m/s² downward, the pull of the Earth, where the lamp begins. Gravity bends the walls while the pattern stays the same, so you can try every fall and keep the form you have grown. At zero, every wall stands straight out from the sphere.

You grow Gravity, bend it and choose its colours, and you see every change in three dimensions before anything is printed.

• A form of your own. Shuffle grows a new pattern from the same settings, and every brush stroke stays on the lamp, so the Gravity you print can be yours alone.
• Light as part of the form. Fine walls gather around a sphere of light, which glows through the pools between them.
• Ready to print. The download is a 3MF project for Bambu Studio and OrcaSlicer with the settings, supports, plates, colours and brim already in place, along with STL files for any other slicer and 3D printing instructions.
• Made to print cleanly. Lift tilts the walls so they need less support, and the Studio shows what still does before you download.
• Every lamp in the Studio. The Plus plan includes every lamp in the Studio and every model in our 3D assets library.
• Yours to keep. The lamps you download remain yours to print for personal use.

Leora's lamps have been exhibited at Dutch Design Week 2025 in Eindhoven and in the Light Selection of Venice Design Week 2026.

1. 1Pattern grows the walls. Density sets how many grow, Softness how tightly they curl, Gravity how they fall, Spread where the pattern begins, Gap the space between neighbouring walls, and Curl turns the pattern into a spiral. Shuffle grows a new pattern from the same settings.
2. 2Shape sets how far the walls stand out (Depth), how thick they print (Thickness, from 1.2 to 2.4 mm), how tall the lamp is (Height) and soft hollows in its outline (Relief). Add logo raises your logo on the top of the lamp.
3. 3Draw reshapes the walls with a brush: Stir moves them along, Smooth evens out kinks, and Twirl winds them around the brush. Your strokes remain when you change the pattern or the shape.
4. 4Overhang shows in red what would need support, sets your slicer's support angle (Limit), and Lift tilts the walls so fewer of them need it.
5. 5Colour sets the look and its colours: Pools, Threads, Rims, Stripes or One colour.

When you're ready, download it: choose your printer's bed and, if you like, STL files as well.

Pools gives each pool between the walls its own colour, like stained glass. Threads keeps one colour along each wall, Rims gives the tops of the walls a colour of their own, and Stripes draws bands of colour up the lamp. The lamp opens in Embroidery, a Threads preset in four colours. One colour prints from a single spool on any printer, and Stripes changes colour only where a band begins, so it is the quickest of the multi-colour looks.

Printers made for colour

On a printer with a single nozzle, each change of colour unloads one filament, loads the next and purges the nozzle. Printers that give each colour its own nozzle or toolhead change in seconds and waste far less filament. Bambu Lab's H2C moves between up to six hotends with its Vortek system and prints up to seven colours or materials in one job without purge-cleaning the nozzles, and the download includes a project for it. Snapmaker's U1 works the same way, with four toolheads that switch in about five seconds. Bambu Lab has also teased the H3C, a printer with nine tools, which it will reveal on 3 November 2026.

The Overhang step shows in red what would need support at your slicer's support angle, and how much of the lamp that is. Lift tilts the walls so fewer of them stand out flat and raises the top inside, while the lamp keeps its round outline. On the lamp the Studio opens with, at a 20° limit, Lift at 75% reduces the part that needs support from 3.1% of the lamp to 0.3%.

Supports are switched on in the project and rise from the build plate only.

Gravity is made for Bambu Lab's LED Lamp Kit 001: a 5 V, 3 W warm white LED module on a 1.5 m USB cable, which plugs into a 5 V USB power adapter. The LED sits in the lamp's own housing in the foot.

Older versions of Leora's lamp designs use the Posaluce base from Creative Cables, and an option to use the lamps with Creative Cables' SnakeBis cord set is coming soon.

Light colours and translucent materials let the most light through; deeper colours give a softer glow.

The plans' list prices, in US dollars, on 29 October 2026. The material is Bambu Studio's estimate for the downloaded project.

Gravity's walls are fine: 1.2 mm each, three lines of a 0.4 mm nozzle, at 0.2 mm a layer, and the project prints their overhanging parts slowly for a clean finish. Density, in the Pattern step, sets how many walls grow, and with them the lamp's height and the material it takes:

• Sparse (fewest walls)

  Size

  169 × 169 × 131 mm

  Material

  About 190 g

• Medium (slider in the middle)

  Size

  169 × 169 × 145 mm

  Material

  About 290 g

• Packed (most walls), as the Studio opens it

  Size

  169 × 169 × 154 mm

  Material

  About 370 g

• Bambu Lab A1 mini (180 × 180 mm), in one colour. In more than one colour, the lamp needs a larger bed.
• Bambu Lab A1, P1S and X1 (256 × 256 mm).
• Bambu Lab A2L (330 × 320 mm), with Bambu Studio 2.7.1 or newer.
• Bambu Lab H2D (350 × 320 mm), H2S (340 × 320 mm) and H2C (330 × 320 mm), from one project made for the H2D.
• Any other FDM printer: STL files, with the settings in the table below. Colours come with the 3MF project.

The 3MF project is made for Bambu Studio and opens in OrcaSlicer too.

The 3MF project opens with every setting in place. With another slicer, use the STL files and these main settings:

  Your choice; the Studio's colours match Bambu Lab spools

From the lamp's 3MF project for the A1. Fine-tune the settings for your printer, material and room.

• A 3D printer with a 0.4 mm nozzle, a bed of at least 180 × 180 mm and room for the lamp's height: 154 mm as the Studio opens it.
• Material in your lamp's colours: about 390 g for the lamp the Studio opens with, less with fewer walls. Every colour in the Studio is a Bambu Lab spool; other brands and materials work too, though print quality, fit and the way light comes through can vary.
• For more than one colour: a printer that changes filament or tools on its own, such as one with an AMS or with several toolheads, and the 3MF project, which carries the colours.
• The Bambu Lab LED Lamp Kit 001 and a certified 5 V USB power adapter.

Pro ($299 a year) includes a license to 3D print and sell lamps worldwide, in line with local regulations and product safety requirements, along with high-resolution product photos, discounts on CE-certified lamp components and priority support.

You can view your lamp from every side and see its size and how much of it needs support before you pay. Downloading Gravity is part of the Plus and Pro plans, and our Starter lamp downloads free if you'd like to print a Leora design first.

The Studio designs other lamps too: read how to make a Coral lamp and a Growth lamp.
