I really wanted to add some covers to the top of our IKEA Vidja lamp because bugs can be a real pain, expecially in summer, expecially with two cats around.
So I found the great top cover design by Jaapp, which fits perfectly and looks great with transparent filament.
For added peace of mind I decided to add some ventilation holes (I know, LED lights doesn't generate so much heat, but still) without sacrificing functionality: bugs (and cats) must stay away.
It was also a great opportunity to try geometry modifiers in CURA (should also work in Prusa Slicer).
The idea is to work inside your slicer and set different parameters in the central area of the cover in order to use only infill and automatically generate a fine mesh.
I ended up with a 70% triangle infill, which in my opinion looks great and it's fine enough to keep bugs away while still allowing some aeration.
I printed the covers at 0.2 LH using PET transparent filament.
