Inversis Table Lamp

We’ve decided to open up our lamp designs to the maker community and allow anyone to print one!  

The Inversis Lamp is a ribbed, double-cone 3D-printed lamp designed at Dryft Home, and now you can make your own version in your home. If you can't print one yourself and you're in Canada or USA consider supporting us at https://www.dryfthome.com.

Inspired by atmospheric temperature inversions, the Inversis shade creates a soft, even glow that works beautifully on a desk, nightstand, or reading nook. Like all of our lamps, it’s fully 3D printed and compatible with either of our two base options (Ridge or Peak).

Print instructions are important for getting a clean, consistent results. Please follow the settings closely. These are Orca Slicer profiles, but they can be replicated easily in most slicers. Don’t forget: the Inversis shade is a solid object and must be printed in vase-mode!

Assembly

To assemble the lamp you will need a cord. I recommend a cord about 6ft long with an inline rocker switch about 1.5-2' from the socket. The socket needs to be 40mm in width and have a threaded base like the one in the photo. We normally use a cord with a base for an E26 standard bulb and a US plug and you should only be using an LED bulb to reduce heat (9W or less recommended).

You can pretty easily find lamp cords online but if you want the one we use you can find it on our site here: https://www.dryfthome.com/products/table-lamp-cord?variant=45162499932217

If you’d rather skip the printing and assembly and receive a finished lamp you can find one here: https://www.dryfthome.com/products/mammatus-table-lamp-3d-printed-cloud-inspired-lighting-with-sustainable-design

Pendant Alternative

You can also use the Vortice lamp shade as a pendant light if you would like. This will require a pendant cord with a 40mm threaded socket and a ceiling canopy fixture. You can find these types of cords easily online in many different styles but if you would like the exact one we use you can find it here: https://www.dryfthome.com/products/pendant-light-cord
