Balloon Twist Table Lamp

A sculptural modern table lamp inspired by Scandinavian design. The shade takes the form of an organic balloon, with fine diagonal spiral ribs that wrap around the surface. The cylindrical base is covered with a dot texture.
Easy and fast prints in PLA, no supports needed, the shade is fully optimized for vase mode.
Shade and base assemble without glue.

FEATURES
• Print-ready and tested.
• Fits standard E26/E27 socket.
• Mix and match filament colors for the shade and base for a personalized look.
• Designed as a standard size and can be used as a replacement shade for most home table or pendant lamps (please check the measurements to ensure it fits your specific lamp).
• All lampshades and bases are part of my modular system. Mix and match filament colors, or pair this model from the UNI series with other interchangeable bases and shades from the UNI or AIR series available in my profile. AIR shades fit AIR bases directly, and they also fit UNI bases or  most home lamps using the included adapter (UNI shades do not fit AIR bases). Follow my page for regular modular design updates.

PRINT SETTINGS (recommended):
• Shade: VASE MODE, layer height 0.2 mm, layer width 0.6 mm (I use nozzle 0.4 mm with extrusion width 0.6 mm), top layers 0, bottom layers 7.
• Base: standard mode, layer height 0.2 mm, layer width 0.4 mm, infill 15% (you can use from 5% but the base will feel lighter and less solid), top layers 5, bottom layers 5, 2-3 outer walls (perimeters), fuzzy skin.
• No supports needed.
• All STL, 3MF files are already oriented properly (base should be printed upside-down).

Use LED bulb ONLY.
A lamp cord with E26/E27 socket is required (not included) — available at most hardware or lighting stores (for examples:

For personal use ONLY. Resale of files or printed objects is not permitted.
