one can only hope :) i dont want to look for anothe messenger again 🙈

hm that could be a good idea with the premade enclosure.

thanks again :)

thanks for this long explanation. I get the gesture but I just think that is really stupid to asume something is wrong with a design just by looking at a collection of 3 pictures. For example you are not able to look inside the encloser (on the picture) so you wouldnt know if it was lined with anything fire stopping or not. All the first comment did was stating something they couldnt even really see.

That PLA is THIS dangerous wasnt that clear to me but since I dont live my whole live in fear I never really thought about this.

but as I said at the top, thank you for your long explanation that was way better then the first post, that started this nonsence argument. I will reconsider the encloser.

Since I chose the silver PLA for design reasons: would it be enough to (for example) use this special filament from prusa to just print an enclose that is placed inside the PLA one?

ok since everyone is so concerned: please tell me and educate me on how a lamp would catch on fire? (just based on the 3 images you see in this post without knowing what country i live in, how wiring of the lamp is done and what safety-precausions are in place electricity wise)

well then i am happy to not live in the worst country in the world, but thanks for the tip :)

The whole thing is the cookie container (it is a buscuit variation that come in these cardboard-containers, where the bottom is an aluminum plate and the lid is made of really thin plastic). I removed the first layer of cardboard (which was the lable), spraypainted it white and did a laser engraving on it. and to make it more rigid i made this 0.8mm think inlay from PLA that also stiffens the top-edge and holds the lid.

oh ok, that (and the subcomment to this one) sounds like a solid way to go. I will reconsider :) thx :)

good to know :) thx 👍

is it already too late for a chat? i've been bored the whole day too 🙈

but do they still show up in mine own dashboards?

i think the problem with the these generated dashboards is not just unglyness but also a problem of administration. Lets say you build the craziest automations for your lights but every normal user can simply activate the lights-dashboard and turn any light on and off without any automation triggering. I have an agreement with my wife, that she does not do this, but as an admin, the pure posibilty is absolut horror 🙈
