Print Recommendations
To ensure the safety and longevity of this model, please follow these print settings:
- Filament Material: PETG, ABS, or ASA are highly recommended. These materials offer superior heat resistance compared to PLA. Even with LED bulbs, enclosed fixtures can get warm, and PLA may warp over time.
- Color Choice: Translucent white, natural, or clear filaments work best to diffuse the light evenly while hiding the harsh glare of the bare bulbs.
- Layer Height: 0.16mm to 0.20mm. A slightly lower layer height will help diffuse the light more smoothly and hide layer lines, giving it a manufactured glass look.
- Wall Loops / Perimeters: 2 to 3 walls. If you want more light to shine through, stick to 2.
- Infill: 15% Gyroid if the model has thicker walls, though printing it as a solid, thin shell generally yields the best light diffusion.
- Supports: None required if printed with the wide opening flat on the build plate.
- Bulb Warning: USE LED BULBS ONLY. Incandescent or halogen bulbs generate too much heat and will melt 3D printed plastics, creating a fire hazard.
