Tama is short for "tamago", the Japanese word for egg. The shade takes that literally — twisted pleats on a rounded form that keeps it together below and lets loose above. Think deviled egg at a dinner party.

The base glows too, just quieter than the shade.

The Tama Lamp is thoughtfully designed to utilize common parts for easy repairs, upgrades, or reuse to minimize waste.

How it works

1. Purchase your preferred pendant fixture type. Two options are available but only one is required.
2. Print the STL or 3MF files using the provided PDF guide.
3. Assemble the base, install the bulb, twist the shade onto the base, and plug it in. Enjoy!

Features

• Flexible Fit: Includes base files for common and inexpensive E26/E27 pendant fixtures.
• Twist-Lock Assembly: The shade easily snaps into the base with a twist, making bulb changes simple.
• Efficient Printing: Designed to be printed with "spiral vase" mode for fast print times. The base features slots for optional TPU feet to prevent sliding.

Instructions I recommend reviewing the PDF for printing and assembly instructions. Here are the highlights:

1. Printing
   1. The double-walled shade is printed with 1 perimeter and 0% infill. Alternatively, print the shade with a single wall using spiralized vase mode.
   2. Disable dynamic speeds for the PETG shade to keep the surface texture uniform. Lower speeds will produce more transparent results.
   3. Print the base with your preferred settings. No special profiles required.
2. Assembly - base
   1. Insert part 2 into part 1 and press until secure. There is a small registration at the back of the parts to ensure proper alignment.
3. Assembly - smooth-walled fixture
   1. Insert the fixture from below until the top is approximately 2 mm above the base. Twist on the printed threaded collar to secure the fixture.
   2. Insert the fixture cord into the slot at the bottom of the base. Secure it in place with the printed plug.
4. Assembly - threaded fixture
   1. Insert the fixture from below and thread on the fixture ring until it's secured.
   2. Insert the fixture cord into the slot at the bottom of the base. Secure it in place with the printed plug.
5. Assembly - shade
   1. First, thread in the LED bulb.
   2. Insert the woven shade above the bulb and twist the shade until you feel a gentle snap.
