Your boosts (for free!) help me to buy filament and supplies so I can produce more designs! Thank you so much!

The Rocket is a mid-century lamp in a rocket-like shape! The base can be made as a tripod with three legs, or you can add more legs (see the one in the pics with six legs!) An E12 or C7 light fixture will fit it, or you can just use an LED tealight if you want!
The shade should be printed vertically in vase mode. The Makerworld print profile is set up to do this.
The parts for the base are easy to print flat on the bed. Just duplicate the legs in the slicer as many times as you need to. The Makerworld “base only” print profile is set up with 5 legs.
[If you find that the legs warp – the easiest solution on a Bambu Labs printer is to use the SuperTack plate which should make that problem go away. Another solution for this is to use “helper discs” to print them, but I don't yet have a print profile set up for Makerworld with this built in. See the pic posted here, or see this video for more info on doing that with Prusa Slicer.]
The legs should friction-fit onto the circle base, but this may depend on your settings. If they don't friction-fit, a touch of glue or tape should solve that. And if they are too tight, a bit of sanding or deburring will fix it.
The lamp is quite small and lightweight, so feel free to upsize it and make a larger one if you like! :)
Filaments I used in the electric lamp:
- Shade: Prusament Vanilla White PLA
Base: Inland Turquoise PLA
Filaments I used in the tealight lamp:
- Shade: Bambu Labs Jade White Basic PLA
- Base: Some random blue-green silk PLA from Temu
