3D Printed Lighting
Lampshades and bases where the layer lines become the pattern. LED only, printed to order.
A printed lampshade does something an injection-molded one cannot: the layer lines become the pattern. Light passing through a spiral or a wave picks out every ridge, and the effect changes as you move around it.
These are printed on our largest machine, one layer at a time, and finished by hand.
Shades and bases
The shades fit standard fittings, and we also print a customizable lamp base if you want the whole thing to match. Tell us the look you are after and we will tell you honestly whether it will work with your fitting before you buy.
Which plastic, and why it matters here
Lighting is one place where material choice is not cosmetic. PLA softens around 60 °C, so these are designed for LED bulbs only, which run cool. Do not use them with incandescent or halogen bulbs. If you want a shade for a fitting that runs warm, say so and we will print it in PETG instead.
Size
We can print up to 350 mm in any direction, which covers most pendant and table shades. Larger pieces can sometimes be split and joined — the machines page has the full numbers, and we are happy to be asked.
