Spiral Modern Lamps - Interchangeable Shades and Bases

Materials-

Bases-

ELEGOO Wood PLA wood PLA

Polymaker Panchroma Marble White PLA

Any color PLA you’d like

Shade-

Creality Bulk white PLA

Any light colored PLA will work

Print Settings-

Shade

.12 Layer Height

Vase Mode

Line Widths – 0.5 to 0.6 will give you a stronger print, default vase mode is very flimsy

9 bottom shell layers, if your preview shows a solid bottom with no hole for the light socket just drop it a layer or two

Base

.12 Layer Height

10% Infill (Grid or Gyroid)

Fuzzy Skin gives a nice texture for the base (Contour only, otherwise the socket will not fit correctly)

No need for a brim

Directions- 

Insert socket through bottom of base, set shade on top, screw down the round ring from the socket to secure. Screw in bulb. Light it up!

Vase Mode- CRITICAL SETTINGS

I had some users let me know they had issues printing, please read the directions and check the images for proper settings. The lamp shades need to be printed in 'Vase Mode' (Bambu, Prusa, Orca, etc) or ‘Spiralize Outer Contour’ (Cura)

If you do not understand please refernce these guides, I don't want anyone to waste filament with a failed print.
