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
- 1Pick the shade's silhouette, texture and size.
- 2Print the base once (it holds the USB LED light module).
- 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.
