Box Lamp – Custom Printable Shade for IKEA E14 lamps
A minimal, tilted box-style shade that turns a plain IKEA table lamp base into something with a bit more character. The design is made of two thin-walled printed parts that slide over a standard E14 fitting: no glue, no screws, no modifications to the lamp.
How it works
Collar: a cylindrical sleeve that slides over the E14 socket and hides the bulb holder.
Shade: a rectangular box with a round opening on one side that seats onto the collar. Because it mounts off-axis, the shade sits at an angle, giving the lamp its asymmetric, tilted look. Rotate the shade on the collar to adjust the direction and angle of the light.
The thin walls let the light glow through the whole box, making a warm, even diffuse light that works well as a bedside or windowsill lamp.
Printing
Filament: white or another light-colored PLA/PETG (dark colors will block most of the light)
Layer height: [x] mm
Walls: 2 perimeters (thin walls give the best glow)
Infill: 5%, grid, but you can experiment! (leave a make)
Supports: no supports needed!
Print time: approx. 3.5 hours for both files separately
Printed: I used my motted ender 3, but with any newer printer it will be better and faster!
Bulb
Use an LED E14 bulb only (shown with a small LED globe bulb). Incandescent or halogen bulbs get too hot for PLA and can deform the shade.
Compatibility
Fits lamp bases with a standard E14 socket. Tested on an IKEA table lamp base; check your socket's outer diameter against the collar before printing. You can adjust the file!
