Lampshade saddle adapter

thingiverse

I purchased an antique lamp, and paired it with a fresh lampshade from IKEA. Although they don't mesh perfectly on their own, I was able to create a seamless connection between them thanks to this particular piece. The adapter works flawlessly with lamps featuring a saddle diameter of roughly 35mm, and also complements most modern lampshades nicely. To ensure that the print is smooth, it's best to print upside down using supports, thus keeping any visible support marks to a minimum – a technique I inadvertently neglected when snapping the accompanying photo.
