Suspended Lithophane Bulb Shade
Created 1 months ago
Description
This cylindrical lithophane canvas encircles standard candle bulbs while keeping thermal softening at bay. Hidden within the smooth exterior shell, a series of internal standoffs maintains a critical separation between the delicate shade and the heat source. The inner structure rests naturally over the top of the bulb, creating a luminous focal point without risking material deformation.
Design Notes
- Thermal Clearance: Integrated internal ribs enforce a 15mm air gap, keeping PLA safely insulated from bulb heat.
- Proportions: Framed around an 80mm external diameter to provide ample surface area for light diffusion.
- Support Structure: The skeletal bracing centers the cylinder securely on the bulb's crest without the need for external mounting hardware.

Candle Bulb Lithophane Lampshade Base
This is a cylindrical lampshade base designed to sit securely over a standard teardrop or flame candle bulb. The shade has an outer diameter of 80mm and stands exactly 100mm tall, providing ample canvas space for your custom designs. Clever internal cooling ribs maintain a generous 15mm air gap between the lampshade wall and the hot bulb surface. This distance ensures sufficient airflow and heat dissipation, keeping PLA and other standard 3D printing filaments from warping or softening when in use. It is the perfect blank canvas to map a personalized photo lithophane onto, or simply to use as a sleek, modern light diffuser for your bedside table. For remixing, consider adding custom geometric cutouts, thickening the walls for deeper lighting effects, or modifying the internal fins to fit non-standard bulb shapes perfectly. Whether you are memorializing a favorite pet photograph or crafting a cozy ambiance, this base takes the worry out of heat management.
Bounty Holder Wave Walls
A dual-cylinder shell designed with continuous, fluid wave cuts ascending its outer walls. The structure maintains its integrity via a solid binding rim at the top, leaving an uninterrupted channel down the primary face to expose the nested inner spire. Structural Details Core: Hollow 35mm inner spire. Outer Wall: 160mm diameter with sweeping sine-wave relief cuts. Binding: The top of the outer wall remains solid, tying the wave segments together. Access: A singular straight 35mm channel runs the full height of the assembly.
Show Me — Desk Sign
The classic desk sign, remixed. This freestanding tabletop block drops a solid underline beneath the bottom row of text, fusing everything together for a sturdier base while maintaining the chunky, self-supporting typographic aesthetic. Features Solid Baseline: The new chunky 5mm underline ties the bottom text together, making it more stable on the desk. Support-Free Design: Prints flat on its back or bottom edge without relying on bridges or supports. Vibrant Typography: Heavy weight text makes a statement while being physically robust.
SHOW ME WHAT YOUVE GOT desk sign Sign
A freestanding tabletop sign featuring chunky, blocky typography. The letters are aligned to stand up directly on the print bed with no internal supports or backing plate required, fusing slightly into an upright self-supporting structure. What it's for A simple, bold statement piece that stands on its own. Print notes Orientation: Prints directly on its flat edge without supports. Clearances: The top and bottom lines of text intersect just enough to hold the sign together. Filament: A matte or textured filament works well to hide heavy layer lines on the flat face.
Product managers sign - User problems not features!
A chaotic, beautifully tilted typographic desk sign, built from heavy script layers crashing into thick underlines. The staggered depths drop dramatic shadows when resting flat, while the carefully balanced lowest points (the 'f', the underline, and the heart) provide a stable three-point stance. Features Dynamic Tilt: The organic 3.5-degree upward slant gives it that quick, handwritten momentum without compromising stability. Stepped Relief: The dual underlines and heavy bottom text punch outward more than the top line. Heart Anchor: The detached heart doubles as the critical third contact point to keep the piece freestanding.
Deco Geometric Knight Bookends
A striking, symmetrical pair of geometric bookends merging an Art Deco sensibility with a low-poly aesthetic. Flanking your books are two stylized knight profiles, set perfectly flush against clean, rigid backplates. Two-Tone Design: Built to pop with contrasting base plates and golden geometric profiles. Heavy Duty: Wide base tongues slip flat under your books to harness their weight, anchoring the display. Symmetrical Pair: True left and right mirrored pieces. Print the plates heavy for maximum anchorage, and let the faceted edges of the horse heads catch the light on your shelf.
