Here's an interesting experimental lightshade I created for an IKEA lamp, but you can stick it on any table light, hanging light, etc with a 40mm thread (the model has a 40.5mm opening). The angled corrugation directs light upwards in one direction and downwards in the opposite, making a nice ambient light when placed near a wall. I used a solid filament for a dim atmospheric vibe, but I think a translucent filament could look fantastic as well (share your results!)

Printing Guidelines

Prints solid without supports, but trickier than most of my prints with some small but steep overhangs, so reserve this for a properly tuned printer and good filament cooling settings. Uses roughly 300 grams of filament and with so many small details it's a long print!

Use a 0.4mm nozzle and ensure that the walls are two shells thick.
