Voronoi Lampshade

myminifactory

This unique lampshade was crafted with Japanese paper lamps as its inspiration. It consists of seven distinct components, including the lampshade itself, an optional diffuser, one mounting ring, and three precision-crafted pins printed on their sides at a precise angle to facilitate easy assembly. To ensure smooth integration, some sandpaper and a knife may be useful. The completed lamp measures 20 cm in diameter and stands 15 cm tall. All components feature minute tolerances that can complicate scaling down, but with sufficient sandpaper, even the most intricate designs can be achieved. For added flexibility, the diffuser is printed separately in "vase mode" without top or bottom layers. When assembled correctly, it should exhibit a high degree of suppleness, allowing for snug mounting within the lampshade. To successfully print this design, a substantial print area of at least 200x200x150 mm is required. Unfortunately, dividing the lampshade into manageable sections has proven challenging, but if there's sufficient interest, an alternative assembly design or one with a smaller diameter may be developed in the future.
