Abstract: The invention provides a method wherein 3D printed layers are stacked, but wherein at one or more positions one layer is shifted sideways relative to the other. It looks like a (small) excursion. Hence, the one layer deviates sideways from the layer below and returns back on the layer below. This may be over a relatively small length. The excursion is chosen such, that there is an opening between the lower layer and the layer that deviates sideways. In this way, a 3D printed item comprising a stack of layers may have (physical) openings, which allow transmission of light. In general, the layer height of the layers is not adapted. The deviations or excursions may be provided in a regular way. This provides a 3D printed with a regular arrangement of openings Note that not each layer of the 3D printed item necessarily includes such deviations or excursions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an adjustable light source holder (100), comprising an inner part (110), in the form of a partly spherical shell (214), configured to house a light source; an outer part (120), in the form of a partly spherical shell (324), configured to house and interact with the partly spherical shell of the inner part; wherein the inner part is tiltable relative to the outer part about an arbitrary tilt axis (130); wherein the inner part (110) is made from an elastic material; and wherein an outer surface (212) of the inner part and/or an inner surface (322) of the outer part comprises a rough portion (416, 426). Methods of manufacturing the adjustable light source holder and related directable spotlight systems are also presented.
