Lamp: shades that screw onto a base

BetaBeta version. Check the file in your slicer before printing. Found a problem? Contact us.

One base for a USB LED light module and as many shades as you like: mushroom, drop, tulip, globe… with a texture. The shade screws onto the base — swap it anytime. Preview in 3D and get the STL.

How it works — watch the video

  1. 1Pick the shade's silhouette, texture and size.
  2. 2Print the base once (it holds the USB LED light module).
  3. 3Print as many shades as you want and screw them on.

Use only a low-voltage (5 V) USB LED light module. Never a mains bulb. Check that your module doesn't get too hot inside the shade.

Shade silhouette

Texture

Measure your USB LED module (the light puck). The cavity is 1 mm bigger.

Colors

Preview only. A white or translucent filament shade makes the light look best.

  • Print the shade upright, no supports (the collar opens at 45°). Vase mode won't work because of the thread.
  • The cable goes out through the center hole and the channel under the base, so the lamp sits flat.
  • Test the thread on the first shade before printing many; if it's too tight, increase the clearance.
