About this model

Inspired by the geometry of an artichoke and Louis Poulsen's great lighting studies and diagrams. This beautiful lamp shade is perfect for the home or business. You can use any standard hanging light cord and a low temp bulb (such as a cfl bulb.) We purchased a standard lamp base with a 12 ft cord from amazon and it screws in the top hole with no issues. 40% infill, high cooling, slow speed. May be tricky on some printers so you may need support for some of the lower fins. Notes: The model was created in 3ds Max 2011 but due to the inch/mm unit issues the model is scaled up by 2540%.
