Description

This is a shade that can be used as a pendant lamp shade or as a bedside one (or decorative) with the given risers. Use E14 socket. Avoid tungsten bulbs and generally bulbs that get too hot.

The socket mount is spring loaded. Press the four elastic ends of the socket mount and place it inside the shade, 3-4 rows from the start.

I want to thank Erik Es for sharing his idea about creating this pattern. You can find the technique for this special pattern: http://www.erikes.nl/ES-CAGE_PRINTING.htm

Print instructions

For this size print I suggest 0.8mm or 1mm nozzle. If you print wood filament with smaller nozzles it may not be strong enough. You can use PrusaSlicer or CURA. 

PrusaSlicer

(Thanks to Awong1214 user for the tip)

In Layers and Perimeters tick Spiral Vase. Then go to Advanced → XY Size Compensation, and set it to half the Default Extrusion Width. Also set Elephant foot compensation to 0.

CURA 

In the Print settings under Special Modes you can find Surface Mode feature, choose Surface. It is advised to use brim.
