Like so many people, I really liked the [LED Bridge Lamp](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1703104) by [Opossums](https://www.thingiverse.com/Opossums/about). There are plenty of other great designs out there too, like [this one](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3329788), [this one](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2827629) and [this one](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3107531). They've all got their own strengths but I felt there might be people out there who would appreciate the way I've tackled this too.
**What Makes Mine Different** *(and a warning)*
For my version I tried to use as little filament as possible whilst still keeping it quite large. I really like that these don't get in the way of your work! Because of that, if you use these files, I highly suggest you use a **0.4mm nozzle** and double-check the slicing before you print. It's designed to have exactly two walls for the segments and middle bit, which I've found more than strong enough, but that does also mean there's no room for error.
**Versions**
I've generated three different versions:
- 170cm / 5' 7" (the original - verified)
- 140cm / 4' 7" (currently printing but critical components verified)
- 100cm / 3' 3.5" (not tested)
Note that these sizes aren't the diameter of the arc but rather the minimum desk size you'll need to fit them. If you look closely in the pictures, I've tried to fit the 170cm version on a desk which is 150cm, which causes obvious overhangs but still sits fine…
