Description
Here are 2 files to of the same basic design. One shade has the grooves going in and the other shade has grooves popping out. I just turned the design in side out.
There are no wires to cut, splice or solder together to make a base. It is designed to fit on a 4 inch/10cm led display base. The printed shade sits on top of the base, it is not attached. Once you purchase a base (or make a base if you are creative!!) you can print different shades to put on top. I used a colored led base from Amazon here:

Or a white one here:

You could also place the shade on a LED tea light, don't use a tea light with a flame.
The lamp shade should be printed without a top or a bottom. The stl file is solid with a top and bottom so be sure and put 0 bottom layers and 0 top layers in your slicer.
The vases in the photos are printed in vase mode and have not been scaled and are printed at 100% of the stl file. The x and y axis shows 106mm wide and z is 160mm tall. It can be printed in any color of pla. A lighter color will let light shine through better and show off the design better. The photos show the vases printed in white by Tecbear. The lamp shade can be printed in spiral vase mode or can be printed in normal mode by unchecking vase mode, set walls to 1 or 2 and 0 top layers, 0 bottom layers and 0% infill. A brim is recommended, as a single wall on the lamp will have difficulty sticking to the print bed. I used a 4mm brim.
