Modular Lampshade for IKEA GODAFTON LED tealight
https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00355576/
The LED candle gives a cozy flickering light like a real candle. Convenient and easy to use, since the built-in timer automatically turns on the light at the same time every day and then makes it shine for 6 hours.
Shade tube:
The tube should have an inner diameter of 76mm and a top and bottom thickness of 3mm.
Customizable Lithophane Shades:
Using http://3dp.rocks/lithophane/ to generate the lithophane stl.
Mode: Outer Curve
Image settings:
positive mode (This makes pitch black thick (3mm) and pure white thin (.4mm))
.. rest is default
Model settings:
Maximum Size: 240
Thickness: 3
Border: 0
Thinnest Layer: 0.4
Vectors Per Pixel: 4
Base/Stand Depth: 0
Curve: 360
The image height:width ratio I use is 4.3:1 but guess you can change that if you want a higher tube.
Use a gradient to black in the image to make the transition to base and coupling nice.
To connect multiple cylinders glue in a coupling.
Cylinders should be printed with high infill 50%-70% to insure that the thick parts become dark.
Base V2 (without holes for cap) could use some support from plate and up, im currently working on that.
The models are optimized for .4mm nozzle.
