Summary

A clean, compact lamp designed for LED light bulbs. Please don't try to use this for anything other than low-heat LED bulbs, it was not designed to handle incandescent.

I wanted a small light source I could keep on the bookshelf behind my reading chair to house a Phillips Hue Bulb. I have had this powered on, with maximum brightness, for a week solid now and the temperature of both the base and the shade are both barely above room temperature. I feel confident in putting this up for public use along with the disclaimer of again, please only use low heat bulbs.

The base will print very cleanly with only supports needed for the small cup. Print this piece with the large cavity upwards and the small socket down. I used ABS at 70% infill and had no issues with the overall balance of the lamp.

The bottom cap prints with the same material as the base, nothing fancy here. For me it is a friction fit, no glue necessary.

The top shade I printed using clear polycarb, but that was only due to it being the only clear I own. I'd be comfortably using abs for this as well. My settings were 0% infill, 4 solid bottom layers (for the top of the shade) and 1 perimeter. I also cranked up the extrusion multiplier by 5% to help give me a softer, textured appearance.

I harvested the lamp socket from a spare gooseneck lamp I have however it looks to be the same as: this one.
