Lamp Shade for Qooltek Clip-On Lamp

thingiverse

I purchased two Qooltek lamps to attach to my sit/stand desk, and I really enjoy them except for the fact that they have too broad an illumination angle. This shade makes them into task lights that won't shine directly in your eyes while still allowing ample ventilation for dissipating heat. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FAM54K8 I printed mine in silver PLA, and I will update this posting if I discover any issues with them down the road. The lamp features an aluminum heat sink that keeps it from getting excessively hot. At full brightness, you can still hold your finger on it, so I don't anticipate any problem with it softening the PLA. 2/27/2020: I uploaded an improved design. The clips are more robust to maintain a firm grip on the lamp. The end is closed off and the outer shell has uniform 2mm thickness. Now a slicer set to .5mm extrusion width can complete the entire toolpath with minimal retractions, resulting in a cleaner print. I recommend bottom 10 layers have zone of 100% infill, with rest of object 0% infill, 2 perimeters.
