Description

This lamp shade replaces the ones usually used with IKEA brand “Solvinden” solar powered lanterns. It is realy light weight, robust and fast printing. It also comes in three styles to choose from. 


If you are using the Model J1701 solar module with all strings still attached (as seen on the models “cover picture”), you might just use the “Version_A". The version_A is used like the original lamp shades 
 

If you are using the model J1606 solar module or a very weathered model J1701 with missing strings, you might use the Version_B. Version_B features LED_Hubs in which to clip in your solar module and attach some strings to. To hang the lantern, snap the LED_Hub in the Version_B Lamp_Shade.
 

Printing:
The LED_Hub works with layer hights up to 0.4mm. The Lamp_Shades have to be printed in vase mode with a 0.2mm layer hight if you are using a 0.6 nozzle. For smaler nozzles, smaler layer hights might have to be used

If you add a color change, it gives the whole thing a realy pleasant look to it.

 

NOTE: 

 

Make sure to have enough solid bottom layers on the Lamp_Shade in order to make the little latches solid (Version_B). At 0.2 layer hight with a 0.6 nozzle, 15 solid bottom layers worked fine for me. you might do some testing yourself
