Ceiling Light Globe

thingiverse

Light shade for a ceiling fan. Opening is roughly 3 1/4 inches or 86mm. Top to bottom is 156mm. I printed this in Clear PetG and did no post processing. The larger your layer lines are the more clear it will be. The STL is solid, use vase mode with your settings. I used: Clear PetG 250 hotend 70 bed No fan 0.8mm nozzle 1.0mm layer line 0.5mm layer height 3 bottom layers 0 top layers Helpful Tips: ALL filament shrinks after cooling. The amount of shrinkage depends on the type of filament. PLA shrinks about 0.25% PetG shrinks around 0.35% Taulman 910 shrinks 0.31% That means a PLA part printed at 200mm long will be short by 0.5mm. I scale all my stuff in the slicer to 100.25% to compensate for most shrinkage. Measure for yourself if you don't believe me! Humid air is actually lighter than dry air, so it's best to have the dessicant at the top of a container you want to keep dry. Check my designs for a dry box you can make.
