DRAPED ELEGANCE | Wall Lamp

DRAPED ELEGANCE | Wall Lamp

Meet the wall light version of my Draped Elegance table lamp.

The shade mirrors the natural charm of a draped fabric, creating an inviting atmosphere that effortlessly combines elegance with an organic touch.

The lamp comes in 2 versions:

• Medium: diameter Ø240mm
• Small: diameter Ø209mm. 
  I'll make a Larger version soon, for extra large printers.

It works with a magnetic rechargeable LED light bulb with remote control.

You can get the light bulbs from Amazon here: 
For Europe: https://amzn.to/3QIbIPN 
For America: https://amzn.to/3DlVkkJ

You can fix the base to the wall with a screw. 
Or if you want a rental friendly solution, you can use 2 Large velcro adhesive strips.

DIMENSIONS (Medium) | Ø 240 mm, D 120 mm 
DIMENSIONS (Small) | Ø 209 mm, D 110 mm

3D PRINT SETTINGS: 
All STL files are already oriented properly. 
You need to print 3 parts:

• a base plate to fix on the wall
• a base for housing the light bulb
• a shade, which comes in plain version and you need to print with the following settings.

THE SHADE: 
The shade file looks plain, that's normal. 
Vase mode is too fragile since it only has 1 perimeter wall. 
So we'll print the shade as a shell with 3 perimeter walls as follow:

• set perimeter walls to 3
• set top and bottom faces to 0 layers, to cancel the top and bottom faces
• set infill to 0% That's it.

For Bambu Lab users, make sure to set "wall generator" to "arachne" to save some print time on this particular print.
 

FUZZY SKIN: 
If you want a rough surface, which bouces light quite nicely, you can use some fuzzy skin:

• fuzzy skin point distance: 0.8mm
• fuzzy skin thickness: 0.3mm I wanted the inside of the shade to be shiny, so I only used fuzzy skin on the outside of the shade.

BASE: 
No particular tricks for these two parts. 
I used 0.2mm per layer and 15% infill.

Happy printing!
