Hey yall. I made this lamp using translucent filament but it'll work with a light color like white or glow in the dark. Keep the walls at 2 for the best result. This print is a single piece and will take about 425g of filament. The print setting profile included in the .3mf project works well with most PLA and is tailored to this model. The lamp will fit most pendant fixtures with a 40mm retention ring style, but below are links to the hardware I used.

-This is a six pack from Amazon. I like them a lot. But any sub 10 watt LED bulb like this will do. Low wattage is critical to avoid overheating and long term deformation. If you use a low wattage LED bulb this design will last through years of continuous use.

-This has been my favorite hemp cord to use. Its a decent length, comes with hanging hardware, and has a convenient screw on retention ring. Simply slip the lampshade over the threaded body and fasten it with the ring. Super simple assembly. Again, this design is compatible with any hanging fixture that utilizes a standard 40mm threaded body and ring system, so feel free to mount it as you desire.

I recommend not printing this on the A1 as it's tall nature tends to not play well with bed slingers. If you do want to print on the A1 or an other bedslinger, I highly recommend slowing your speeds by 25-50%. Layer adhesion and bridging are very important with this print.
Prints with the widest/ring side down as featured in the plate picture. No supports needed.
