Lamp Shade

thingiverse

My coworker recently purchased a lamp at Target, and unfortunately, three out of five shades broke in an unfortunate accident. However, thanks to advanced printing techniques, I was able to create a perfectly smooth beveled edge on the shade. I utilized the high-resolution feature in Prusa Slic3r, which allowed me to print the beveled opening with an incredibly fine resolution of 0.07mm, eliminating any stair-step effect. To achieve this level of precision, I employed the new variable layer heights feature in Prusa Slic3r, printing most of the shade in standard 0.2mm layers while reserving a finer resolution for the beveled edge. To design this project, I simply measured the part with an old wooden ruler and imported the dimensions into FreeCAD. If you're interested in accessing the files used for this project, feel free to reach out to me directly – I'd be more than happy to share them with you.
