About the X2D ↗

A BUILD BY 3D MIEKS / 01
A little tropical.
A lot of character.
A sculptural printed frame, a crown of angular leaves, and thirty panels that catch the light.
Take it apart in 3D ↓01 / GET TO KNOW THE BUILD
Turn it around, lift off the crown, and see how the panels sit inside the frame. This viewer uses the actual Fusion geometry.
Sharp outside. Flat polygon panels keep the graphic pineapple silhouette.
Serviceable inside. The LED carrier twists out from underneath. No screws.
Your finish. Gold and olive, or your own two-color combination.
02 / TWO WAYS TO MAKE IT
Choose laser-cut acrylic for crisp, glass-like panels, or print the inserts for a build you can make with an FDM printer.
THE ACRYLIC BUILD
Print the frame, crown, and LED carrier. Cut the thirty separate inserts from 3 mm yellow translucent acrylic with the Bambu Lab R1, then seat and glue them into the frame.
Use the machine’s material workflow and a small test coupon. No universal power or speed setting is assumed. The R1 bed is 600 × 300 mm; arrange the panels across jobs if needed. R1 details ↗
THE ALL-PRINTED BUILD
Print the same thirty panel shapes in translucent yellow or natural translucent filament, along with the frame, crown, and carrier. Separate parts make the color changes simple.
Light transmission depends on the filament and print settings. An opaque filament will hide the internal glow. Multi-material printing is not required for separate colored parts.

02 / ACRYLIC CUTTING & ENGRAVINGThe CO₂ laser cutter and engraver used for the 3 mm acrylic panels and optional pineapple-eye texture.
About the R1 ↗Product photographs: Bambu Lab. Accessories shown are not all required for this build.
The separate parts fit a standard 256 × 256 × 256 mm FDM build volume. Print them separately and split the panel set across plates as needed. On another printer, use its matching slicer profile, retain the custom frame supports, and check the sliced preview. No laser? Choose the printed panels.
03 / MATERIALS & SUPPLIES
Filament, panels, and the small parts that bring it together. Choose acrylic or printed inserts to suit your workshop.
Exact filament brands, shopping links, and material quantities will be added with the final print profiles.
BOTH BUILDS
Frame & LED carrier
Use your chosen gold or dark yellow finish. Exact filament brand and grade will be listed with the final profile.
BOTH BUILDS
Layered crown
Print the crown separately. The final profile will confirm the material, support setup, and amount needed.
PRINTED PANEL OPTION
30 printable inserts
Translucent yellow or natural translucent filament. Print one panel first to check fit and light diffusion.
ACRYLIC PANEL OPTION
30 cut inserts
Translucent sheet for the laser-cut version. Sheet size and quantity will follow the final nesting layout.
BOTH BUILDS
1 kit + matching USB supply
60 × 8 mm LED puck with inline switch and 2.9 mm cable. Match the USB supply to the kit label.
BOTH BUILDS
Panel seats & crown contact
Choose a product compatible with your panel and printed materials. Test on scraps; keep the twist-lock carrier removable.

PLAN YOUR PRINTS
Filament weights and print times will be added after the final profiles are sliced. No estimates are published yet.
| Printed part | Filament total | Of which supports / waste | Print time |
|---|---|---|---|
| FrameGold / dark yellow · 1 part | Pending | Pending | Pending |
| Layered crownOlive green · 1 part | Pending | Pending | Pending |

Acrylic inserts use no printing filament. Sheet quantity will be confirmed with the cutting layout.
Figures will be slicer estimates for the released profiles at 100% scale. Support and waste weight is included in the filament total, not added twice. Actual consumption and time vary with printer, material, and settings.

04 / FROM PARTS TO PINEAPPLE
PRINT & CLEAN
Use the optimized profiles for the frame, crown, and LED carrier. Keep the frame’s custom supports and intended orientation. Remove supports carefully, paying particular attention to the panel seats and locking features.
MAKE THE INSERTS
Laser-cut 3 mm acrylic, or print the alternative inserts flat. Keep the cutting contour with each engraving design, preserve 1:1 scale, and sort by shape. Make one test piece first; don’t apply a second outline reduction to an already adjusted file.
FIT & BOND
Press each insert toward its own flat facet until it rests on the recessed ledge. After checking the fit, apply a small amount of compatible adhesive to the supporting lip. Keep the visible face clean and allow the adhesive to cure fully.
TEST & CONNECT
Disconnect USB power before assembly. Place the 60 × 8 mm LED puck in its carrier with the light facing into the lamp. Route its 2.9 mm cable through the carrier’s cable opening and align it with the rear outlet. Keep the wire out of the tabs and cam path.
TWIST & LOCK
Insert the carrier from underneath with both tabs aligned to their entry slots, then rotate into the locking position. Stop if the cable pinches or the lock binds. The carrier stays removable; don’t glue the locking joint.
FINISH & SWITCH ON
Dry-fit the green crown at the shoulder, check its orientation, and secure the mounting contact as required by your print fit. Keep adhesive away from serviceable parts. Reconnect the kit, switch it on, and find its new home.
The model viewer explains part placement. Always confirm the physical fit of your printed parts before bonding or locking them together.
05 / SMALL DETAILS, BETTER RESULTS
The frame and crown are designed as separate prints. Keep your chosen finish consistent, and let the materials do the work.
Load the final frame print profile and retain its prepared support geometry and orientation. Check the sliced preview before printing. Remove support contact marks from the panel seats so the inserts can lie flat. The crown is not described as support-free; follow its profile.
Yes. Use the dedicated 3 mm panel bodies and translucent filament. Print them flat and test the appearance with your LED first. Printed inserts diffuse the light differently from laser-cut acrylic.
It is an optional surface detail for the acrylic version. Keep each full outside cut contour with its corresponding engraving artwork. Engraving lines are not cut lines, and the smaller light opening in the printed lip is not the acrylic cutting outline.
No. The separate parts fit a standard 256 × 256 × 256 mm FDM printer. Use the correct profile for your machine, retain the custom frame supports, and check the sliced preview. If you do not have a laser, print the alternative inserts in translucent filament. The assembled lamp is taller than the print volume because the crown and frame are separate prints.
Keep the production parts at 100% if you are using the specified LED kit and 3 mm acrylic. Uniform scaling also changes the LED recess, locking clearances, and panel seats. Redesign those interfaces separately if you change the size.
Choose a clear adhesive whose manufacturer lists both the sheet material and your printed filament. Test it on scraps for adhesion and haze, follow the cure time, and use only a small amount on the recessed lip. Keep the LED carrier removable.
The removable mount is modeled for the 60 × 8 mm LED Lamp Kit-001 and a 2.9 mm cable. Use that low-voltage LED kit with its specified USB supply. This is not a socket for mains bulbs or hot lamps. Keep it indoors and check the assembled lamp during its first powered test.
