<p></p> Looking to buy Pyramid Lava Lamptag:oozinggoo.ning.com,2023-04-26:1566398:Topic:8734032023-04-26T19:06:18.352ZZackhttps://oozinggoo.ning.com/profile/Zack15
<p>I'm looking to buy a pyramid lava lamp, preferably clear yellow plastic but I would be interested in other colors as well. Picture is for the example. Let me know if you have one for sale and what you are looking to sell it for.</p>
<p></p>
<p>If anyone has a model number or the official model name that would also be helpful in case I can't find one here. Thank you!</p>

I posted this on reddit in the lava lamp community, and thought I might as well share it here as my introduction.</p>
<p>So I recently got into lava lamps and decided to design my own after fixing up a Soviet one from Ukraine. My design is similar to it, however I tried to go more mid-century modern with the forms and stand. Definitely going for a space-age 'rocket' form. I think I was successful.</p>
<p>I ended up going with concrete as a material for the base and top, since I can just 3D print the molds from my computer and pour the concrete inside to cast the parts. It also seems to be a good insulator and barely feels warm to touch on the outside after hours of running. Once fully cured, I can demold the top and bottom, drill the holes for the support rods with a masonry bit, and install the socket and cord. I just trim the brass rod with a saw and use a tap/die kit to cut the threads for the nuts.</p>
<p>The stand parts are laser cut from six layers and glued, sanded, edges rounded with my router, stained, waxed, and glued to assembly.</p>
<p>If I ever attempt to sell any of these, I'll probably have to stick with a simple lamp wire/switch/molded plug kit instead of the fancy Rayon wrapped cable and vintage switch/plug due to UL listing.</p>
<p>The 750ml bottles are from amazon (mostly because I hate removing labels) and the recipe is just a no-frills paraffin/liquid paraffin/PERC + water/PG/SLS mixture.</p>
<p>This photo is much redder than reality-this lamp ended up being more of a yellow wax with purple fluid.</p>
<p>I'll publish the links and mold files on Thingiverse very soon for those who want to try making one. :)</p>
<p>I plan to test making a design with a glass architectural block from the 80's to see how well the wax flows. I know the world would love a square lava lamp if it could work.</p>
<p>Glad to meet everyone. I'll be around. :)</p>

<p>Hi, I've tried to refill my old yellow fluidium using a few recipes I've found on here, none have worked so far. It now looks like magma tower is down for the foreseeable future so I'm not sure how I should go about trying to fill it.</p>
<p>If anyone has any tips or knows anywhere else to obtain premade wax I'd really appreciate it </p>
