Simple little vase-esque lamp!

Note that you must only use LED bulbs (9 watts max) as traditional bulbs can get pretty hot and could cause damage to the plastic. I like multi color smart bulbs that I can control with my phone, but any standard 9W LED bulb will do.

Tips for printing the shade: If printing the shade in vase mode with a .4 nozzle at .2mm layer height — use 13 bottom shell layers. You can adjust these if you're printing with a different size nozzle or layer height. Here you can see how the extra bottom shell layers forces the shade supports to print with an infill, then start printing in vase mode the rest of the way up.

Supports Supports are needed for the lamp base. There's a lip inside the top hole to keep the socket from going all the way through. Supports aren't necessarily required for the cord hole on the bottom, but I used them anyway since it didn't add much time and the results were super clean.

Scaling I wouldn't recommend scaling this one since it perfectly fits the pendant light socket.

Orientation All three parts should be oriented upright, how you'd expect them to be. Note that I'm showing everything in the same project file int he image below, but you'll need to create a new file for the shade if printing in vase mode.

Lamp Base Print Settings .2mm layer height 15% grid infill 2 walls

What are the three parts? A base and shade and the other is?

Did you ever figure it out? Are there only two?

The shade, the base, and the pendant light wiring you need to buy if needed. That's it.

I really love this lamp! I'm using a hue bulb inside and I noticed the light was a bit too intense (even when the brightness was reduced) and it was causing a bit of eye strain / headaches. So I re-printed the shade with .6mm inner and outer walls and it made a huge difference (.4mm nozzle).

I don't think the inner wall does anything in this case since it's in vase mode, so you can probably just adjust the outer. But I wasn't sure, so just did both.

Hey! I love the designers! I wanted to ask you about the 3mf models, since I've downloaded several but can't access that type of file. I’d like to have them to see if I can fix some errors. I'm about to try this model, and once I finish it, I’ll let you know how it turned out! Cheers.

Very cool lamp! But I think it should use more walls than two, because when the lamp is lit, you can see the infill pattern on the upper part of the base. I think more walls would hide that, I will try with 6 walls next
