Raspberry Swirl Lamps

thingiverse

I designed these shapes in Fusion 360 and thought that the bubbly one looked like a raspberry, and the smooth one like a huge soft serve - hence the names :)\r\n\r\nThe lampshades are fun to print because you can really push the speed of your printer and watch as a huge object emerges on the print bed in no time at all. I've uploaded a reduced and a high quality STL of the raspberry lamp - take your pick.\r\n\r\nThe brackets are designed to accept standard wood screws and a tapered fit lightbulb socket of about 40mm diameter. I've tried a few different sockets (bought at hardware store and online), and they seem somewhat standardized across manufacturers. Here's an example of a socket that will work:\r\n\r\nhttps://www.amazon.com/Creative-Hobbies-ELT5561A-Incandescent-One-Piece/dp/B00X4C403O/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1528403825&sr=8-14&keywords=light+bulb+socket\r\n\r\nIf anyone wants to remix the brackets for this shade, you'll have to match the profile of the taper on the outer edge of the lampshades. It's a 5 degree taper with a 172mm diameter on the outer edge. If your printer has trouble with the size of the lampshade, feel free to print a scaled-down version, and design a new bracket to fit the scaled lampshade.
