Modular Wire-Frame Hexagon Chandelier/Lampshade

thingiverse

This is a modular chandelier/lampshade with a metal wire appearance. It is printed in six pieces, each with different wire inclination options allowing you to mix and match for various looks. Each piece has a hole and a small protrusion making assembly possible without glue. Tolerances are calculated to ensure smooth printing, eliminating the need for adhesive. However, if parts fit too tightly or loosely, you can easily file down protrusions or apply a small amount of glue to holes as needed. To complete the lampshade, print at least one support piece along with Top_Left, Top_Right segments, and four additional pieces. A basic support is designed for standard European light fixtures, while an alternative "multi" support accommodates smaller sockets - simply cut off excess rings after printing. This design also combines seamlessly with my Circle lampshade (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3337904), allowing you to mix and match hexagon and circle patterns. While the hexagonal version offers fewer design variations due to fewer pieces, it still enables distinct styles. Future updates will introduce additional designs once the base model is rebuilt. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this creation - feel free to print and share your experiences!
