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.
