Description
This is a remix of the Nuke Lamp from Protonik, which was inspired by:
Original idea for lampshade:

I split the lamp in half to cut down on the support needed and added posts for alignment.
OK after printing this beast 4 times, I got something that I like. I tried translucent and flat white. The picture and what I ended up liking the most is the translucent ( white blocked most of the light) I changed the lower section to make it taller. But still have the shorter section file if you want that. I used 21 leds ( red/orange/yellow) more red at the top and more orange at the bottom. The picture looks better than in person. With 10% infill you will see some of the infill lines depending on the angle of viewing. but if you put more infill you will need more leds or be happy with less light coming through. Don't expect this to light up a room, its more of a nightlight.
I added a different base that fits a square DC adapter. I printed that in white. The original base didn't fit any light fixture that I could find. Not to mention using a plain white light will not get you the coloring that you will like (at least that I liked).
