Base and fixing ring for INCANDESCENT LAMP - LAMPE POLYEDRE by Tomishape

Since 3D prints are light, I inserted empty spaces in the base where I could insert weights.

The weights are 5-gram car wheels balancing weights; the weight measure 11.5x19.5x4

(https://www.amazon.it/dp/B00IJFR6YQ?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1).

To insert them, without glue or anything else, pause the slicer, insert the weights (8), and continue printing (Simple weighted base).

In the original model, there was no way to make the connection between the base and the lower part of the shader solid, so I designed a locking ring (Shade Locker with Threaded Inserts) to insert the Threaded Inserts.

The locking ring must be inserted and glued to the bottom of the shade's pass-through section, with the inserts facing downward. This way, using three M3 x 16 screws, you can connect the base to the rest of the lamp.

I drilled a hole for the inserts in the ring (M3 x 5.7 x 5.0).

Since it's a closed lamp, I tested it using a 4W LED bulb, and it doesn't heat up much, but I preferred to redo the base with holes for better ventilation (Ventilated base with weights).

I hope these modifications make the model even more popular,  as it's truly beautiful.

I thank Tomishape so much for his splendid models and his kindness.
