I've finally cracked the code on how to create a two-piece table lamp that's as easy to assemble as it is fun to look at! After months of trial and error, I've perfected a design that combines a cartoonish hermit crab shape with real functionality. This ingenious lamp consists of just two main pieces: A) the crab-body base, which features a hollow M10 thread that can hold an E14 bulb socket, and B) The shell-shaped lampshade, which screws onto the outer edge of the base for a seamless fit. Both parts are ridiculously easy to put together - no glue needed whatsoever! Just print them out, attach them with a few screws, and you've got yourself a beautiful, working lamp. One of the best things about this design is that it only requires two prints, along with some basic electrical components. Plus, because both pieces have a clever screw-fit assembly, there's no need to solder or glue anything together - making it a breeze for DIY enthusiasts of all levels! The result is a stylish and functional lamp that can light up any room in your home. The fun part? You get to choose the bulb you use! Want a warm, cozy glow or something brighter and whiter? Your call! Plus, this design uses incredibly low material, thanks to the shell-shaped lampshade being a mere 1mm thick. That means it won't waste too much ink, plastic, or whatever printing material you prefer. One word of caution: be sure to choose an LED bulb if possible, since they produce less heat. But overall, this hermit-crab lamp is perfect for adding a touch of whimsy and functionality to your space. The stats? Base measures 9.8 x 11.3 x 5.1 cm. Shade comes in at 11.8 x 11.8 x 15.7 cm.
