So you saw the Moon Lamp featured on the front page and figured your printer needed a workout. Twelve hours later you're holding a shiny new moon and feeling a bit proud of yourself.

But then you realized you needed to light that thing up. You dragged out a trusty LED but it was way too directional. It lit up the top of the moon like a bald spot under stage lights. You needed a better solution. Sure there's always Amazon but that was a couple of days away and you already spent forever printing this thing. You wanted light NOW.

This kicked off a trip through the junk drawer looking for something, anything, that will provide nice omnidirectional light. As fate would have it you had a couple of spare flashlight bulbs left over from when flashlights were actually incandescent. After some painful mental math determining how long it's been since that drawer was cleaned out you slapped a couple of AAAs together and tested one of the bulbs. It still worked (surprisingly) but now there's a new problem. You were stuck holding the wires to that bulb and that's not a good long term solution. Obviously you couldn't just tape wires to the side of the bulb like some neanderthal. You have a 3D printer. Some things just aren't done.

So out comes the design software and a few iterations later you had something that the moon lamp can sit on. It holds the wires in place, doesn't rotate, and provides a nice soothing light.

Sound familiar? No? Well, in any case if you need a holder that will hold a flashlight bulb (assuming you can even find one anymore) this will do the trick. No extra soldering or glue required. The tolerances are close enough that the bulb will hold the wires in place by itself. Just run the negative wire to the side of the bulb and the positive wire to the bottom of the bulb.
