That’s one ‘baller’ lamp if you ask me! Created by Ezra Feldman (who goes by EYF Design on Instagram), this Baseball Wall Lamp turns a sports moment into a piece of quirky themed lighting that I’d honestly love to see at every sports bar across the US. Simply put, the lamp features a catcher’s mitt along with a ball sinking right into it, mid-catch. The ball is 3D-printed from a translucent polymer, and features a standard disc-shaped LED lamp underneath. Plug it in and the ball starts glowing.
The entire lamp is 3D printed, and Ezra sells his designs online for people to print on their own too. The Baseball Wall Lamp is a new addition to Feldman’s collection, and can be found on his Thangs3D webstore. The lamp looks cartoonishly perfect, and sort of falls in line with the Iron Man repulsor lamps seen online (featuring Iron Man’s hand along with the glowing light in the center). Honestly, Feldman should make more, maybe one Dragonball-Z lamp, or a Kobe Bryant hand lamp. Just thinking out loud!
Designer: Ezra Feldman
“Designed for sports fans, kids’ rooms, or anyone who loves clever, story-driven design, it turns a familiar object into a warm and cheerful wall feature,” describes Feldman. “The glove mounts flat against the wall, while the “ball” acts as the light source, creating a soft glow that feels like it’s caught mid-catch. It’s an easy multicolor print, fun to assemble, and a guaranteed conversation starter,” he adds.
The beauty of getting a 3D printed file for a lamp means you can pretty much modify it to a point of no return. Make it bigger or smaller, add/amend details, or even change the colors. The entire thing’s designed to be 3D printed – and the only real caveat is that you need to use a multi-filament printer if you want it to look the way it does here. The alternative, however, is to print your design in a neutral color and paint on the details by hand. Sure, it adds an extra step, but that’s a lot easier than buying a whole new 3D printer.
The design costs a mere $3 on the Thangs3D website, and you can print as many lamps as you want to (for personal use only). Alternatively, you could sign to become a member of Feldman’s Thangs3D page and get access to all the products on the website for the price of a monthly/annual membership. There are more than 40 designs to choose from, including some really cool guitar picks!
