CARLA | Table Lamp E14 & E26/27

CARLA | Table Lamp E14 & E26/27

I set out to design a lamp that could be printed quickly while celebrating translucency and color without limits—giving you the freedom to explore, combine, and play with hues however you like.

The result is the CARLA lamp, compatible with both E14 and E26/27 cords.
It also comes in a pendant version.

DIMENSIONS | Ø209 x H209mm

You can get the power cords from Amazon here:

3D PRINT SETTINGS: 
All STL files are already oriented properly. You need to print 3 parts:

• one shade

• one cylinder in the same material as the shade

• one base for either E14 or E26/27 light sockets. No supports or adhesion brim needed.

THE SHADE: 
You can print the shade in vase mode.

For a 0.8mm nozzle: 
• activate "vase mode" (spiral vase or spiralize) 
• Layer height: 0.3mm/layer (you'll get some holes/gaps if you use 0.4mm/layer or more) 
• Line width: 1mm 
• Bottom shell layers: 8

For a 0.4mm nozzle: 
• activate "vase mode" (spiral vase or spiralize) 
• Layer height: 0.2mm/layer 
• Line width: 1mm 
• Bottom shell layers: 12

CYLINDER: 
You can print the cylinder in "regular" or "vase mode". 
If your print in "vase mode" (spiral vase or spiralize), the flat round face will be plain. Which is totally fine.
For 0.8mm nozzle just make sure to use a wall line width of 1mm. 
For 0.4mm nozzle, you can print with one wall loop of with a line width of 1mm, or print with 2 wall lines but it might take longer.
If you want that round face to have a see-through pattern like on my pictures, you need to:

• print in regular mode

• set top and bottom face layers to 0

• select an infill pattern of your choice (gyroid 35% on my pictures)

• set line width to 1mm

• set wall generator to "arachne".

BASE: 
No particular tricks for the base. 
Just make sure to pick the version you need, either E14 or E26/27. 
I used a 0.4mm nozzle, 0.2mm per layer and 15% infill. 
Printed in PLA.

Happy printing!
