We hope this fun lamp design brightens your day!

3 lamp shades provided for your enjoyment and to demonstrate what's possible.

Design your own lampshade following this tutorial: https://youtu.be/MGb4gvUI7M0

Lampshades are 3D printed with Protopasta's Bottle Brown, Cobalt Blue, and Soda Green Translucent HTPLA filaments available at http://www.protopasta.com. For sturdy, but still translucent shades, we recommend the following settings:

extrusion width: 0.9 mm
layer height: 0.4 mm
speed: 20 mm/s

We print with no slowdowns using spiralize (vase) mode for a continuous extrusion with no start/stop defects.

The base can be printed with typical settings like:

extrusion width: 0.42-0.63 mm
layer height: 0.15-0.25 mm
speed: 20-30 mm/s
2-3 walls
4+ top/bottom
and infill for support

We recommend printing upside down.

We used a standard LED bulb. Be careful not to select a hot bulb that melts that plastic. Consider a dimmable bulb to adjust the light level to your preference.
