The glass lampshade of one of our floor lamps broke and I needed a spare part.
So I designed it with freecad, imported it into Blender to make the form more organic and the check the look by rendering it.
The first print (white Filament) was a fail and I saw that the walls where to thick. I then printes a new one just with spiralised outlines: That came out great and is transparent enough to let the light through.

The base of the lamp is 75 mm wide, the hole for the lamp socket has a diameter of 40 mm. The shade is about 130 mm high.

Caution: Use only with led or energy-saving lamps. PLA for example might get hot and become soft, it can deform and may touch the lamp an start to burn …

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!

Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
