Product Features

1. Dynamic Light-to-Shadow Diffusion: The computational, wave-like fluted contours catch the light uniquely from every angle, producing an ultra-smooth glow without harsh hotspots.
2. True Spiral Vase Mode Compatible: Masterfully optimized to print using standard continuous extrusion (Vase Mode). This guarantees a completely seamless outer finish with zero layer-retraction pimples or ugly Z-seams.
3. Low-Profile Interlocking Base: Includes a minimalist, separate structural base plate designed to hold standard LED puck lights or generic small-format lamp cord fittings cleanly beneath the shade.
4. Zero Post-Processing or Supports: The geometric pitch of the outer waves is finely engineered to remain self-supporting throughout the entire build profile, requiring zero support structures or post-print structural cleanups.

Printing & Assembly Recommendations

1. Filament Choice:
2. The Lampshade Shroud: Natural Translucent PLA/PETG or a crisp Matte White PLA works perfectly. White PLA provides a smooth, porcelain-like appearance that radiates a gorgeous bone-warm hue when turned on.
3. The Base Plate: Using Wood PLA or an opaque dark Walnut/Charcoal filament provides a brilliant premium grounding contrast against the illuminated top shell.
4. Slicer Configuration: * Print the main shade in Vase Mode (Spiralize Outer Contour).
5. Boost your line width to 0.6mm or 0.8mm (even on a 0.4mm nozzle) to give the single-layer outer skin incredible structural rigidity, durability, and better light diffusion.
6. Light Source Safety: Use LED light sources ONLY. Traditional bulbs generate localized heat that can warp 3D-printed plastics over time. Pair this with a low-voltage 5V USB LED puck, a battery-powered tea light, or an ultra-cool LED smart bulb.
