Fancy Lamp Shade Holder

thingiverse

Generally it's a good idea to hang a lamp shade from a separate hook, not attaching it to the power cord. However, in certain situations this rule may be safely disregarded. If you're in such a situation and you know exactly what you're doing, this model is for you. This lamp shade holder can be securely attached to an 8mm diameter (and possibly even slightly smaller) power cord without disconnecting the socket. It requires only minimal filament, keeping it extremely lightweight. Plus, as an added bonus, the lamp shade holder looks really cool - much like a tribal tattoo. I designed this model specifically for one of those IQ lights, but it can be used with any other lamp shade as long as it's not too heavy. If the assembly process is unclear, please check the images above or ask in the comments. I've also included the FreeCad file so you can easily adapt the design to suit your needs. Enjoy using this design and don't forget to share your creations!
