I wanted a cheap way to make a lamp. This design uses inexpensive hanging light lantern cords found on amazon and feeds them through the base. The base features pins that hold the socket so it doesn't rotate freely.

This model contains two parts. The base, which holds the lamp socket, and a nut that screws onto the base. You can then modify the nut to attach a lampshade to it. I have included a sample lampshade as an available download. You should only use LED bulbs to avoid warping the parts.

Printed in PLA with .2mm layer height and 15% infill. The base does not require supports.

Here are the sockets I used.
