Most 3D printed lamps end up looking pretty similar because a lot of them use pendant light kits and are limited in design by the diameter of the socket. I recently discovered these pendant light kits can be disassembled and reassembled allowing for a much broader range of designs that look like traditional lamps.

Taking the pendant light kit apart takes less than a minute. The attached video explains how to assemble the whole lamp. Edit: The threaded part on the socket can be unscrewed by pushing down on the metal tab inside the socket. You don't have to break it like I did in the video.

Important! Make sure the pendant light kit is unplugged before disassembling it.

Note that you must only use LED bulbs (9 watts max) as traditional bulbs can get pretty hot and could cause damage to the plastic. I like multi color smart bulbs that I can control with my phone, but any standard 9W LED bulb will do.

Tips for Printing the Shade The shade is designed to print in spiral vase mode with a 0.4mm nozzle at 0.2mm layer height. To get the bottom part of the shade to print in solid layers, make sure you add 20 bottom shell layers in the Strength tab in Bambu Studio.

Supports None needed!

Scaling This one cannot be scaled since it is designed to perfectly fit the pendant light socket.

Orientation

• The base and leges print upside down
• The shade prints right side up. Reminder to print in vase mode and add 20 bottom shell layers so the bottom prints solid.
