Lamp Shade

thingiverse

Here are the steps I took to convert these downlights into pendant lights with lampshades. First, I removed the existing recessed downlight housing and replaced it with a e27 extension. Next, I printed out a lamp shade in vase mode, which was placed over the wire. To center the lamp shade perfectly, I printed two identical pieces that were attached to either side of the wire. A separate piece called a wire cover was also printed, which concealed the hanging wire and provided a clean finish. The bottom section of the wire cover was designed to be centered on the wire by printing it in duplicate.
