Retro Table Lamp - Bubble Shade with Pedestal Base

This minimalist 3D-printed table lamp pairs a textured cylindrical shade, featuring a repeating geometric bubble relief with a petal-like pattern, with a tall tapered base. The shade softens the light, casting a gentle patterned glow, and includes a separate colored diffuser insert that lets you change the lamp’s color accent. The base is finished with a fuzzy skin texture for contrast. It prints support-free and works well on a nightstand or desk, with a look that leans toward retro-modern and organic design.

PRINTING & ASSEMBLY
• Print-ready and tested.
• Support-free design.
• Fits standard E26/E27 sockets (hole diameter 41 mm; can be used as a replacement shade for most home table or pendant lamps) and standard E14 socket with adapter (included in files; hole diameter: 28 mm).
• Supports printing with PLA, PETG and other standard filaments.
• Assembles easily without glue or screws.

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.

• Base: height: 180 mm (7.1 in), width: 78 mm (3.1 in)

WHAT'S INCLUDED
Files for Lamp Shade and Base:
• STL — 5 files (Shade + Shade Insert +Shade Topper + Base + E14 adapter), print-ready (tested and verified on Ender 3 S1)
• OBJ — full lamp assembly (Shade + Insert + Topper + Base combined), for import into Blender, Cinema 4D, or any 3D software
• 3MF — 5 files (Shade + Shade Insert +Shade Topper + Base + E14 adapter), pre-configured print settings for Bambu Lab A1 (sliced in Bambu Studio — just open and print).

PRINT SETTINGS (recommended):
• Shade, Shade Insert: VASE MODE (spiralize outer contour), 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 6. Use transparent and translucent filaments for the Shade, Shade Insert, and Shade Topper to boost brightness and create a vivid, color-tinted light effect.
• Base, Shade Topper: 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 for Base.
• No supports needed.
• All STL, 3MF files are already oriented properly (base should be printed upside-down).

A lamp cord with E26/E27 or E14 socket is required (not included). Search "plug in lamp cord kit E26" or "plug in lamp cord kit E14" on Amazon or your local hardware/lighting store.
