The "Hot Air Balloon Lampshade" is a creative and easy-to-print PLA lampshade, designed for suspension lights. It resembles a hot air balloon and is quickly assembled using just a bit of string to connect the basket to the rest of the structure. To create it, you need 12 pieces of the "Body full" and 4 of the "Body with hole," allowing for a mix of colors and patterns. It also includes a basket and three wheels. One wheel secures the electrical cable, another holds the light bulb (requiring a plastic ring typically sold with the bulb holder), and the last wheel anchors the structure to the base. It's essential to use only E14 LED bulbs. The basket can be filled with plush toys or dolls, making it perfect for a child's room. For printing, use a 0.4 nozzle, 0.1 or 0.2 layer height, and 15% rectilinear infill. No brim or supports are needed, and there's no need for glue or screws for assembly. The disks are designed to keep the balloon body pieces firmly together, requiring just a gentle press during assembly. This lampshade invites you to "fly with your imagination!"

If you decide not to use it as a lamp holder, you can choose not to insert a light bulb and it will transform into a beautiful hanging object for children's rooms :)
