MALLA | Woven Table Lamp E14/26/27

MALLA | Woven Table Lamp E14/26/27

Here is the table lamp version from my MALLA Collection of woven lamps and other home decoration products.

It has a diameter of Ø209mm and you can pick from 3 different heights for the base and the shade.

Shade heights:

• Small | H 150mm, with 5 rings
• Medium | H 203mm, with 7 rings
• Large | H 256mm, with 7 rings

Base heights:

• Small | H 100mm
• Medium | H 128mm
• Large | H 156mm

The base can accomodate either E14 or E26/27 light bulb sockets.
There's a print file for each type.
You can get the power cords from Amazon here:
For Europe:

E14 cord:  https://amzn.to/3TchBqs

For the US:

The woven pattern (printed here in PETG) diffuses the light beautifully.
It can be printed by any printer with a classic 0.4mm nozzle.

Happy printing!

 

3D PRINT SETTINGS 
All STL files are already oriented properly. You need to print 2 parts:

• a base, with 2 versions available (for E14 or for E26/27 sockets) and 3 heights available
• a shade, with 3 heights available.
   

THE SHADE: 
On the 3D model, the front face of the shade appears full. 
It's normal. 
To achieve the woven pattern of the front face of the shade, you have to turn off the top and bottom layers (set to 0), and pick an infill pattern of your choice (gyroid pattern on the pictures) with about 30% infill. 
On top of that, for 0.4mm nozzles, push the "infill line width" to 0.6mm to make the weave of the front face nice and strong. 
The items in the pictures were printed with a 0.4mm nozzle.

To ensure a super clean and sticky first layer, push the "initial layer line width" to 0.8mm.

Layer height: 0.3 mm (no less, no more) 
Line width: 0.5mm (for a 0.4mm nozzle, so as to extrude a bit more material and achieve a cleaner weave) 
First layer line width: 0.8mm 
Wall line count (perimeter walls): 2 
Top layers: 0 
Bottom layers: 0 
Infill: 30% 
Infill pattern: gyroid 
Infill line width: 0.6mm 
Infill-wall overlap: 50% 
Build adhesion type: None 
Supports: None

For Bambu Lab users, make sure to:

• turn OFF "slow down for overhangs"
• set "wall generator" to "arachne".

THE BASE: 
No particular tricks for the base. 
I used 0.28mm per layer, 15% infill and added some fuzzy skin:

• fuzzy skin thickness: 0.2mm
• fuzzy skin point distance: 0.6mm

Happy printing!
