Lotus Lamp Shade - Large Size

MembershipBoost Me

A Beautiful and simple lamp shade design which we absolutely love! This was enlarged to 150% of the original size, modified to have a 40mm hole for hanging lamp fixtures and imported to the Bambu Universe.

We printed this in a rainbow glow filament and recommend any glowing filament - it looks great if you mix and match the petals to have different colored glows! The .6 thickness makes it nice and strong while still allowing light through, no matter what color you choose (though I'd stay away from black and other super dark filaments personally).

Print instructions

Inspect the lamp inserts. Depending on how well dialled in your printer is you might need to flex the insert a bit in case any of the slits in the inserts are fused together. This is much more easily done before assemly.

All files print facedown. No supports required.

 

Assembly

 

Insert the lamps insert in to the two lamp collars by pushing together firmly at the horizontal notch in the top and bottom of the insert. No adhesive should be required.
Continue this process with the remaining 9 inserts (for 10 total) until you have a frame consisting of the 2 collars and 10 inserts in which to insert the petals.

The petals are inserted in to the slits in the lamp inserts by simply pushing them in (no adhesive required). Each petal should be inserted in to 2 of the insert slits to make a row of 5 petals
The petals should be inserted in a staggered pattern with each row filling the space left from the row before (see pics)
the petals should be inserted as such:

Row 1-4 small petals
Row 5-8 large petals
Row 9-12 small petals
(the petals are 0.6mm thick so layer height should be set to 0.2mm [or a multiple of 0.6])

 

Note

The lamp can either be assembled on your choice of lamp or attached after assembly.
If attaching after assembly you will need to remove some of the petals on one side to allow room to insert the globe from the side after being placed over the light socket
