###🧵 Introduction
This decorative lamp shaped like a spool wrapped with rope combines modern 3D printing with a rustic look. The model is designed to be easy to print, stable, and compatible with a standard E14 socket. I used a 200 lm LED bulb, but you can choose another light source – for example, an LED strip.
The model consists of five parts:
- lampshade
- upper spool
- lower spool
- middle rope section
- bulb holder
All dimensions can be found in the drawing below.
###🖨 Printing the individual parts
- Lampshade
- This is a model of a solid cylinder (you adjust the wall thickness by printing).
- Print as a vase mode.
- Without top and bottom layers.
- A thin wall creates a beautiful light diffusion.
- Upper and lower spool
- On the parts imitating rope, set fuzzy skin to give the surface a more realistic texture.
- I recommend two-color printing – filament change at the layer works great.
- Print with small support where the rope rises.
- Middle rope section
- Print with a wide brim for better adhesion.
- Add support under the overhanging part to prevent print breakage.
- Bulb holder
- Regular print without special settings.
- Holes are prepared for M3x10 screws.
###🔧 Assembly
- Insert the power supply with the E14 socket into the bottom part.
- Screw the holder onto the socket and secure it with an anti-rotation ring.
- Screw the holder to the bottom part using M3x10 screws.
- Insert the LED bulb.
- Put on the lampshade.
- Add the middle rope section – pins should fit freely. If you want a firmer connection, you can glue it (beware of bulb replacement possibility).
- Finally, put on the upper spool, which fixes everything.
- In my print, nothing is glued, and it holds firmly.
