Add a touch of modern elegance to your space with this easy-to-print Ribbed Table Lamp! This design features a stylish, minimalist aesthetic perfect for desks, nightstands, or side tables, and is designed specifically to accommodate a standard E27 hanging pendant lamp socket.

Design Features:

Ribbed Lampshade: The distinctive lampshade features horizontal ribs (bellows style) that create a beautiful visual texture and help diffuse light softly.

Two-Part Design: The lamp consists of two separate parts – the lampshade and the base – making it simple to print without complex supports.

E27 Socket Compatibility: The base is specifically designed with an opening intended for a common E27 hanging pendant style lamp holder/socket. These sockets typically feature a threaded section (often M10x1) that passes through the base and is secured from underneath with a retaining ring/nut.

Easy Assembly: Simply print both parts, install your E27 socket, and place the shade onto the base.

Customizable: Print the base and shade in different colors to match your decor! The render shows a white/light gray shade and a red base, but feel free to experiment.

Printing Recommendations:

Material:

Lampshade: Recommended to print in a light-colored or translucent material like PETG (offers better heat resistance than PLA) or Natural/White PLA. Translucent materials will enhance the light diffusion.

Base: Can be printed in any color of PLA, PETG, or other standard filaments.

Layer Height: 0.2mm is recommended for a good balance of speed and quality. You can use a finer layer height (e.g., 0.15mm) for a smoother look on the ribs.

Supports: No supports required for either part when printed in the standard orientation (base flat on the bed, shade open side up).

Lampshade Specifics:

Vase Mode (Spiralize Outer Contour): This shade is potentially ideal for printing in Vase Mode! This results in a faster print with no seam. Ensure you have sufficient bottom layers (e.g., 3-5) and use a suitable wall thickness/line width (e.g., 0.6mm - 0.8mm with a 0.4mm nozzle). Always check your slicer preview carefully if using Vase Mode.

Standard Mode: If not using Vase Mode, print with 0% infill and 1-2 walls (perimeters). Using more walls will reduce light transmission.

Base Specifics:

Infill: 15-25% infill is recommended for good stability and weight. Grid or Gyroid infill works well.

Walls: 2-3 walls.

Socket Opening: The opening is designed for the threaded part of a typical E27 hanging socket. It is crucial to measure your specific E27 socket and its retaining ring/nut before printing. Dimensions of these sockets can vary slightly. You may need to slightly scale the base model (e.g., by 1-3%) or modify the opening diameter in CAD software to ensure a snug and secure fit for your particular hardware.

Required Hardware (Not Included - You Need to Source These):

E27 Lamp Holder / Socket (Hanging Pendant Style): You need one standard E27 hanging pendant lamp holder, the type that comes with an external thread and a retaining ring/nut for mounting through a hole.

LED Bulb (E27 Base): Use ONLY E27 LED bulbs! Incandescent bulbs produce too much heat and can melt or damage the plastic, creating a fire hazard. Choose a low-wattage LED bulb (e.g., 3-7W).

Power Cable with Switch: A standard lamp power cord with an inline switch and appropriate plug for your region.

Assembly:

Print the lampshade and the base.

Safely wire your E27 socket to the power cable according to manufacturer instructions and local electrical codes. If you are unsure about wiring, consult a qualified electrician.

Feed the cable through the base opening from the top. Insert the threaded part of the E27 socket into the opening.

Secure the socket firmly from underneath the base using its retaining ring/nut.

Screw in the E27 LED bulb.

Place the lampshade onto the base.

Plug in and enjoy your new lamp!

Safety Note: Always use low-heat E27 LED bulbs. Never leave the lamp unattended for extended periods, especially during initial testing. Ensure all electrical connections are secure, insulated, and that the socket is firmly mounted in the base.
