This lamp is a hollow sphere of 220mm diameter and 3mm thickness, which is printed using only gyroid infill, without walls and without surface layers. The semi-transparent gyroid infill results in some very unique patterns...

Check print settings !

The goal of this design was only to demonstrate the idea of using only gyroid infill and to see how light interacts with it. I hope it can inspire others !

(the bottom part and the actual lamp holder was recycled from an IKEA lamp)
