Antique Bronze Skull Light – Gothic Lamp Base with Shade

Bring eerie elegance to your decor with this hand-painted skull light base, designed in an antique bronze finish with a rich dark undercoat and brushed highlights. The sculpted skulls and flowing details create a haunting gothic style, perfect for themed rooms, fantasy displays, or collector shelves.

This model features:

• Detailed skull and bone textures ideal for high-quality 3D printing
• Designed for LED or light-shade placement (not a candle holder)
• Looks stunning when finished in metallic bronze or patina paints

Pair it with warm lighting for a dramatic glow that brings the antique bronze to life.

Print the shade in spiral (vase) mode and add a brim for better adhesion. All parts are support-free for easy printing. I’ve included my print settings and files for reference.

The holder section prints in about 9 hours on a Bambu P1S at 5% infill, producing a strong yet lightweight result.

🛠️ DIY Note: This is a DIY project, so you’ll need to supply your own LED light source. I used an E27 screw-type Edison bulb socket (not included). The socket hole is 41.5 mm in diameter, sized to fit most standard E27 lamp fittings.

I've only tested with this socket, see image. I purchased from Ebay.

The fitting features a screw-top design for quick and easy assembly.

Please Note: This model has only been tested on a Bambu Lab P1S. If you're experiencing any issues using a different printer, feel free to reach out. Large print time 9 hours.
