Decorate your house with this stunning inverted hex shape lampshade that you can print in Vase mode!

3mf file includes a 40mm cutout for vase mode slicing.

CAUTION: Use ONLY with LED bulbs. DO NOT use old incandescent bulbs since they heat up beyond PLA softening/melting point and can become a fire hazard.

File Size:
200x200x215mm (can be resized at scale)

Slicing Instructions
Nozzle: 0.4 or 0.6 (preferred) 
Line/perimeter/wall width: 0.6 on 0.4 nozzle and 0.8 on 0.6 nozzle 
Layer Height: 0.3 on a 0.4 nozzle or 0.4 on a 0.6 nozzle
Bottom Layers: 4 minimum
Vase mode / Spiralized outer contour: ON
Brim: Internal and external

Creating the lamp cutout (if you need to create different size):
In the slicer, add a Cylinder Negative Part and resize it to: 40mm X and Y and centralize it (0 on both positions)
For the Z, you need to make it the thickness of the bottom layers and drop it to the bed level.
For example: 4 bottom layers at 0.3 is 1.2mm, so your cylinder would need to be 1.2mm thick.
If you are on Orca, the "Drop to Bed level" is still not available for added parts, so, on a circle bed, Bed Level it is half the size of the main item (lampshade) minus half the size of the cylinder (-107.14 on this example).

After Slicing, if you see something like this, you are ready to hit print!
