Auerlia Twist E27 Lamp base

Every once in a while I stumble on an idea I quite like and love sharing it with the community. In this case, it is a vase spiral mode lamp base with a slither for the cable. The idea here is to have something unique that looks really good in Silk PLA (or any other PLA, really) with a recognisable form that is a design starter. Yet the design feature is functional as well. The opening on top is 42 mm dia hole for E26/E27 lamp fixture sockets.

 

How is it a vase mode? Printed upside down, the two sides only meet at the bottom and then they go their own way double looping. The fact that it is a double loop on itself means that even though there is a slither, it is still quite rigid. However, it is lightweight, putting some rubber stick-on dots or feet could help it stay in place better.
