Ikea Tertial translucent lamp shade for vasemode (drawing incl.)

prusaprinters

I bought a Tertial lamp, but at night it creates a brightly lit spot with deep shadows, making me uncomfortable. So I designed a replacement lamp shade and printed it from a translucent material, so it lights the rest of the room too without being too bright to have it in my periferal vision.I like the original design and want to keep the same overall shape, but it seemed too plain (as it is otherwise just a piece of plastic), so I decorated it slightly with wide ridges. Hopefully you'll like it as much as I do :-)PrintingUse vase mode (Spiralize in Cura)Put it the narrow side to the bed (it shoud be cup-like)Bottom layers: make sure the bottom is at least 0.8 mm thickMaterial and perimeter width: use something temperature-resistant and translucent.I used natural-colored ASA, 0.8 mm thick walls (this is the photographed version)Originally I wanted to use 1.2mm of natural ABS+, but run out of material (ABS is white, ASA is slightly yellow)I wouldn't use PLA as the part is quite close to the source of heat (LEDs and the built-in power converter in the bulb)PETG will work, but it is much more transparent: unless you print very thin wall in opaque material or just accept some glare. Colored transparent material might create an interesting effects.DrawingSolveSpace drawing is attached. Note: SolveSpace likes to run out of memory and crash when exporting a rounded geometry into STL: if you encounter issues in export, go into configuration and set: export chord tolerance: 0.05 (higher means less memory)export max piecewise linear segments: 200 (lower means less memory)and try again. In case issues repeats, change the numbers further as indicated.
