Lamp shades are inspired by the visual appearance of heat sinks visible for example on industrial lamps or nowadays on LED bulbs.

Design can be produced in any colour or size and has a wide variety of possibilities thanks to 3D printing technology. It opens doors also to customization to fit in any socket, bulb or any other specification by the customer.

Lamp shades are designed to be printed out of PLA material using an FDM 3D printer. While designing these shades I have taken into account the technology and way how the object is printed. Trying to avoid any support material and use as little material as possible to build a firm structure but also big enough in short print time.

Shade is designed to work with IKEA cord set HEMMA or SONNEBY: https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/hemma-cord-set-white-10386577/ or https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/sunneby-cord-set-black-textile-90420129/

3D PRINTING SETTINGS It is easy to print, and it requires no support.

THE BEST SETUP SO FAR IS: 0.3mm layer height 0.55 mm line width
