Description

This lamp shade is inspired by the original design by Poul Henningsen. An important feature of his design is that the lamp bulb is not visible from the outside from any angle; all light is indirect, reflected by the wings before coming out. This provides an even, pleasant, non-blinding light.

 

The "wings" are angled so that they can be printed without support.

The main part "pine-wings.stl" can be printed without support, but requires good adhesion to the build plate. It can be a challenging print and requires a well tuned printer to avoid that the nozzle collides with warping parts of the print.

The top part "pine-top.stl" should be printed with support from the build plate. A suitable E27 lamp socket (e.g. "HEMMA" or "SUNNEBY" from IKEA) is fitted through the 42 mm hole. Insert a standard E27-socket LED bulb before joining the top and wings parts. Use three M3x6 screws to attach the top to the wings part.

The part "pine-bottom.stl" is an optional small sheet that fits the bottom and prevents direct light from escaping downwards. It is manually inserted, preferably before the top is attached.

I printed this in white PLA. Beware that colored material will cast a colored light. The design is optimized for a 0.4 mm nozzle and 0.2 mm layer height. If possible, use a threading tool to make M3 threads in the three holes at the top of the wings part before inserting the screws.

Incredible. although I'd like a magnet or peg solution, i simply wedged the black piece untill it deformed the black ring lol and smashed it into place. u may add some glue or later make the ring able to connect on super easy so more people print this. also I wanna make a smaller version

it says you optimized for 0.2mm layer height but did you know the 3mf file is set at the highest 0.08mm extra fine setting? Lower it down and you take the print from 20.3 hours down to just 6hrs55mins, and thats at 15% gyroidinfill. at lightening it can be ene less, although dunno if vase mode will work well here, ill upload without supports gyroppid infill 6hr55min version if it works out! maybe ill add a brim for extra adhesion

I printed this in PETG. I am not sure why but my printer had a very hard time printing this in PETG. I had to slow it down to like 3 mm/s to get it to look nice. I will reprint it in PLA as soon as I get some in. The design looks great and is why I gave it a 5 star rating. Printing problems are all mine and not the design.
