The Parametric Lamp "Clea" Christmas Tree Edition

Bring a cozy Christmas atmosphere to your home with The Parametric Lamp "Clea" — Christmas Tree Edition 🎄✨

This model is part of “The Parametric Lamp ‘Clea’” system: a family of lampshades and bases that are fully customizable from parametric controls — no CAD skills required.

Universal lighting system compatibility—adjust the base parameters to match your hardware dimensions. Includes an E27 / E14 adapter and is fully compatible with the LED Lamp Kit Collection

With this Christmas Edition you can:

• Adjust the tree height and overall shape
• Control the bulge or volume of each layer
• Enable or tweak the decorative top ball (finial) 🎀
• Choose between multiple surface styles (soft waves, raised bands, twisted faceted shell)
• Generate a standalone parametric base with textures, cable channel and magnets
• Export and print each part separately (lampshade, base, socket adapter, vase-mode disc, etc.)

All from the sliders and dropdowns in MakerWorld’s parametric view.

🧩 How the system works

In the parametric view you’ll see several groups of controls that match the icons used in the model.

👁️ View / assembly

Use the “View / assembly” menu to choose which part you want to export:

• lampshade → tree-shaped lampshade only
• base → standalone base only
• socket_adapter → socket adapter disc
• vase_disc → disc for vase-mode printing
• assembly → full assembled preview

👉 Select a view, let it generate, then export that STL.

🎄 Christmas Tree Shape

Available controls:

• Total height → overall tree size (including the top ball)
• Bottom radius → how wide the tree is at the bottom
• Number of layers → number of vertical “tiers” of the tree
• Bulge intensity → how much each layer sticks out
• Wall thickness → adjust for your printer and material

You can create anything from a cute small tree to a big centerpiece for a table.

🎀 Tree Topper / Finial

You can fine-tune the decorative top ball with:

• Ball height
• Ball diameter
• Neck diameter (the connector between ball and tree)

This lets you create a more elegant, minimal look or a playful, bold topper.

✨ Texture Style Selector — Lampshade Surface Styles

In Texture style you can choose:

• Soft Waves → smooth, organic wave-like shape
• Raise → strong vertical raised bands
• Twisted Poly Shell → twisted faceted geometry (looks amazing with matte or metallic filaments)

Additional controls depending on the style:

• Number of waves / bands
• Texture depth
• Pattern twist
• Pattern phase / rotation
• For Twisted Poly Shell: number of faces, twist strength and vertical resolution

This lets you go from a smooth, flowing organic tree to a sharp, crystalline faceted one.

🧱 Integrated Shade Base (optional)

The lampshade can include a simple integrated base disc at the bottom:

• Enable/disable the integrated base
• Adjust the disc thickness
• Set the center hole diameter (for cable or socket)
• Add a decorative ring of holes for extra light spill and visual effect

If you want something more complex, use the independent parametric base instead 👇

🏺 Independent Base Settings — Standalone Parametric Base

The standalone base has its own parametric engine, and it is compatible with any lampshade in The Parametric Lamp "Clea" system.

You can customize:

• Overall base shape
• Surface texture
• Dimensions (height, diameters, inner hole)
• Central curve / “waist”
• Cable channel
• Magnet system

🔵 Base Profile Shapes

Choose the general silhouette of the base:

• 📏 Straight – modern and clean
• 🍷 Flare – elegant, wider at the bottom
• 🍩 Donut – soft and rounded
• 🔔 Bell – classic and refined
• 🌷 Tulip – open, flower-like profile
• 〰️ S-curve – double curved, very aesthetic
• 💡 Bulb – chubby and rounded shape

🔶 Base Texture Styles

These textures are independent from the tree textures:

• none → plain and smooth
• groove → vertical inward cuts
• raise → raised vertical bands
• wave → smooth wave pattern
• crumpled → wrinkled, organic texture
• roof_tiles → tile / scale-like pattern
• tech → technical / geometric pattern
• classic_zigzag → classic zigzag
• classic_star → classic star-like pattern

You can match or contrast the lampshade surface for endless combinations.

⚙️ More base options

You can also control:

• Base height
• Top diameter
• Bottom diameter
• Inner hole diameter (for socket or cable)
• Central curve amount (S-shaped profile)
• Preview color (for visualization only)
• Or switch to Twisted Poly Base for a faceted twisted base

🧲 Magnets & Hidden Slots

The lampshade and base can be connected using magnets:

• Enable/disable magnets
• Set magnet diameter
• Set magnet pocket depth (in shade and/or base)
• Choose how many magnets around the ring
• Adjust the radial position of the magnet ring

The base can also generate hidden internal slots, so magnets are completely invisible from outside.

🔌 Cable channels

You can add a cable channel in:

• The lampshade disc
• The base
• Or both

Controls:

• Channel width
• Channel depth
• Cable exit angle

Perfect to route the cable to the back or to one side and keep the lamp visually clean.

🌀 Vase Mode — Spiral Vase Printing

The model also supports vase mode printing:

• Enable solid-shell mode for the shade
• It generates a body ideal for single-wall spiral printing
• Use the vase_disc as a connector between shade and base

In your slicer:

• Enable spiral/vase mode
• 1 perimeter
• 0% infill

🖨 Recommended Print Settings

🟢 Lampshade (normal mode)

• Layer height: 0.16–0.20 mm
• Perimeters: 3
• Infill: 10–15%
• Material: translucent PLA or PETG for best light diffusion

🌀 Lampshade (vase mode)

• 1 perimeter
• 0% infill
• Translucent filament recommended

🧱 Base

• Layer height: 0.20 mm
• Infill: 15–25%
• Perimeters: 3–4

⚠️ Safety

• Use LED bulbs only (low temperature).
• Do not use halogen or incandescent bulbs.
• Make sure there is enough clearance between the bulb and the inner wall of the shade.
