3D-printed lampshade (pixelfed.sdf.org)

Lampshade printed out of clear PLA in vase mode, to replace the glass shade I stole from a cheap Aliexpress lamp to use as a cover for my 360° camera. The lamp was super-cheap but I didn't want to throw it away. With the 3D-printed shade, it found a new life as a small table lamp in my office at work.

There is not enough wires in this photo.

(Nice lamp shade!)

Hehe yes, my office is a little overrun with cables of all kinds - mostly USB cables. That's only a small part of the mess.

The lamp was powered by 3 AAA batteries. So the other thing I did to it was solder banana plugs to connect it to the lab power supply on my desk. That's why it's there.
