Product Features

1. Glare-Free Layered Optics: The overlapping architectural scales trap direct light pathways, diffusing it softly outward and channeling a pool of functional ambient light straight down.
2. Universal Cord Grip Mount: Designed with an upper structural collar engineered to clamp tightly onto standard, off-the-shelf E26/E27 pendant light cord assemblies and socket rings.
3. Optimized Spiral Vase / Seamless Print Geometry: Carefully designed to print with minimal boundaries, giving the tiered scales a clean, continuous satin finish free from ugly layer-retraction scars.
4. No Support Material Needed: Despite its dramatic flared silhouette, every overhang angle is strictly constrained to standard printable tolerances—meaning zero wasted filament and zero post-print cleanup.

Printing & Assembly Recommendations

1. Filament Choice:
2. The Diffuser Body: Matte White PLA or Translucent PLA/PETG works best. Matte White yields a classic Nordic ceramic aesthetic when unlit, while glowing with a warm bone-colored gradient when illuminated.
3. Print Settings: * Print with a 0.4mm or 0.6mm nozzle using 2 perimeters (walls) or a fine-tuned "Vase Mode" variation if your slicer allows overlapping multi-body lines.
4. Keep your layer height thin (0.16mm to 0.2mm) to guarantee smooth transitions over the sweeping curves of the pinecone scales.
5. Light Source Safety: Use LED Bulbs ONLY. Conventional incandescent bulbs emit radiant heat that can warp, sag, or compromise 3D-printed plastics over time. Pair this shade with a low-wattage, high-lumen LED bulb or a smart RGB light source.
