Hollow lightbulb lampshade

thingiverse

I designed a simple hollow lightbulb-shaped lampshade for my bedside lamp. I printed mine using clear filament, allowing light to pass through and creating a beautiful diffraction effect. To achieve this design, I used a 0.3mm layer height with no support or raft required. The print was successful, but it did pose some challenges when it came to material choice. Printed in PLA, the lampshade worked fine initially, but as soon as I turned on the light, the surface got hot to the touch. Given its shape, it's fortunate that the sphere at the top helps maintain its form over time.
