Hexagonal Light Shade

The end user might duplicate the "Lightshade Blank" several times and add a height field image onto it in order to customise with a favoured design, pattern, or photo.

Parts you need to print:

• 6 off the above blanks.
• 3 off "Shadeholder Arm". These arms suspend the "blanks" from the "ring".
• 1 off "Lampholder Ring". This is the part that screws onto the lamp and from which the rest of the design hangs.
• 12 off "Rivets". these are the pieces which hold the blanks together. A file is included which comprises 15 of these in case some break or print badly.

In case the print doesn't work well, you might like to print the rivets in sets of 4, for example.

NB the "arms" require to be printed with support. I found that 10% is adequate on my Anet A8.

Included as one of the models is "Lightshade Model Complete". I do not recommend that you try to print it: it is included purely as an assembly guide.

I have included some photos which may contain images similar to something you may or may not have seen in real life. They do not claim to be representative of any particular toy or film. Nor do I claim to have created the images.

I recommend printing the flat blanks first, then a small number of the rivets. Depending on your printer settings, you may find the rivets too small and loose in the holes. If this is turns out to be the case for many of you, I'll remodel them fatter.
