Overview
A faceted Art Deco–inspired lantern shade designed by hakkaisha. It works as a striking geometric pendant on its own or as a display piece you can dress with faux flowers, vines, or seasonal decor. Thin walls let light glow through for a soft, prismatic effect.
Design Intent
- An Art Deco and prism/diamond-inspired lantern that can be used plain or embellished by hanging decorations.
- Intended for LED string lights or other low-heat lighting.
- Thinner walls increase brightness and diffusion.
- No supports required for printing.
- Target users: makers who want a stylish, customizable lantern for home ambiance or events.
- Environment: indoor use.
- Constraints and trade-offs: strength vs. translucency; thinner walls diffuse better but are more delicate.
Features
- Faceted “diamond” geometry with crisp planes for a Deco look.
- Vertical light windows and lower prism panels create multi-direction glow.
- Top hang point for cord, hook, or cable tie.
- Open interior to weave LED fairy lights and tuck decorations.
- Prints upright with no supports on typical FDM printers.
- Works well in white or translucent filaments for soft diffusion.
- Decoration-friendly gaps to route stems, vines, or string lights.
- Lightweight single-piece shade for easy hanging.
Printing Recommendations
- Material: PLA or other low-warp, translucent/light-colored filament.
- Orientation: print upright as shown in photos/CAD.
- Supports: not needed.
- Walls: use thinner walls for more brightness (e.g., 1–2 perimeters with a 0.4 mm nozzle). Increase walls if you prefer a sturdier, less translucent look.
- Infill: low (0–10%) or use modifier to keep walls consistent; aim for smooth external faces.
- Layer height: 0.2 mm is a good balance for time and detail.
- Dimensions: Author to fill.
Assembly
- Hardware (optional):
- LED fairy light string or other low-heat LED source
- Small cord, zip tie, or hook for hanging
- Faux flowers or vines if decorating
- Steps:
- Clean up the print if needed.
- Thread a hanging cord/zip tie through the top eyelet or center opening and secure.
- Feed LED string lights inside; distribute to taste. Route the wire through the top opening (or side passthrough if present).
- Add decorations by weaving stems through the vertical slots and lower facets.
- Test-hang and adjust light placement for even glow.
Safety & Usage Notes
- Use LED lighting only; do not use incandescent or high-heat bulbs. 3D-printed plastics can soften above 50–60°C.
- Keep away from open flames, high heat sources, and prolonged direct sunlight.
- This is a decorative shade; not a structural load-bearing part.
- Small parts and decorations can be a choking hazard—keep out of reach of young children.
- Inspect cords and connections for wear; secure the lantern so it cannot fall.
