Product Details

1. Digital Download Type: STL files for 3D printing.
2. Design Feature: Designed to fit standard pendant light cords (E26/E27 sockets).
3. Optimized for Printing: The main balloon section is designed to be printed with thin walls (or in Vase Mode / Spiralize Outer Contour depending on file configuration) to maximize light translucency and mimic a classic paper lantern effect.

Printing & Assembly Recommendations

To get the exact cozy, glowing look shown in the photo, we recommend the following settings:

1. Filament Choice: * Envelope (Balloon): Translucent White, Matte White, or Natural PLA to allow light to shine through evenly.
2. Gondola & Accents: Wood-infused PLA, Dark Brown, or Metallic Copper/Bronze for that authentic steampunk look.
3. Light Source: Use LED bulbs ONLY. Standard incandescent bulbs generate too much heat and can deform 3D-printed plastics (PLA/PETG). A warm white LED (2700K) creates the perfect cozy glow.
4. Supports: The structural components (gondola, fins) may require minimal supports depending on your printer’s bridging capabilities.
