Cell Lampshade (customizable)

Lampshade with geometric pattern inspired by a building facade. Fully customizable in OpenSCAD.

In the pictures it is used on an Ikea table lamp base with a pretty standard E14 bulb socket. The design would also work for a ceiling lamp hanging upside down. I used cheap PLA filament, and the texture is kind of rough.

WARNING: Make sure you use an energy efficient LED bulb with 6W or less. A normal incandescent light bulb will melt the lampshade and may cause a fire! I'm not responsible for any damage caused by this design.

Print Settings

Printer: Prusa Mini or any FDM printer

Rafts: No

Supports: No

Resolution: 0.1 or 0.15

Notes:

Print in vase mode ("spiralize outer contour" in Cura) with 1.0 mm bottom layer (if not customized). This ensures that the bottom mounting hole is correctly printed. Since it has small but steep overhangs, 0.15 mm layer height or less works best. 0.2 will still print, though. Increase filament extrusion multiplier for a thicker and better looking print.
