CARLA | Pendant Light E26/27

Meet the pendant version of my CARLA table lamp.

I set out to design a lamp collection that could be printed quickly while celebrating translucency and color without limits—giving you the freedom to explore, combine, and play with hues however you like.

The CARLA pendant has a soft, lantern-inspired presence that creates a calm, soothing atmosphere.

DIMENSIONS | Ø255 x H150mm

3D PRINT SETTINGS: All STL files are already oriented properly. You need to print 3 parts:

• one shade
• one cylinder that goes in the middle of the shade
• one base for E26/27 light sockets. No supports or adhesion brim needed.

THE SHADE: You can print the shade in vase mode.

For a 0.8mm nozzle: • activate "vase mode" (spiral vase or spiralize) • Layer height: 0.3mm/layer (you'll get some holes/gaps if you use 0.4mm/layer or more) • Line width: 1mm • Bottom shell layers: 8

For a 0.4mm nozzle: • activate "vase mode" (spiral vase or spiralize) • Layer height: 0.2mm/layer • Line width: 1mm • Bottom shell layers: 12

CYLINDER: You can print the cylinder in "regular" or "vase mode". If your print in "vase mode" (spiral vase or spiralize), the flat round face will be plain. Which is totally fine. For 0.8mm nozzle just make sure to use a wall line width of 1mm. For 0.4mm nozzle, you can print with one wall loop of with a line width of 1mm, or print with 2 wall lines but it might take longer. If you want that round face to have a see-through pattern like on my pictures, you need to:

• print in regular mode
• set top and bottom face layers to 0
• select an infill pattern of your choice (gyroid 35% on my pictures)
• set line width to 1mm
• set wall generator to "arachne".

BASE: No particular tricks for the base. I used a 0.4mm nozzle, 0.2mm per layer and 15% infill. Printed in PLA.

Happy printing!
