Lamp Shade Base

thingiverse

My brother just managed to break the previous glass lamp base, giving me the perfect excuse to design and print my very first 24-hour print job. The design I came up with mirrors the shape of the previous vase-like design, but I also added some cuts to give it a more interesting look. By incorporating a simple drop and lock design that fits the lamp head, I ended up with a surprisingly straightforward design that didn't require any support material at all. The weather probably played a role too, as winter's overhangs were a huge success. Despite seeing signs of salmon skin, I'm hoping to improve that by getting new stepper drivers soon and adding a Z-axis brace.
