Printed (not by me) on a Creality Ender 3 V2 printer. 6 in / 15 cm in diameter, at 0.20mm layer height. I believe the print took around 50 hours.

Thanks to kicou for agreeing to this post!

    I don’t think he used PLA actually. I don’t recall exactly what he used, but this is to create a lamp, so the material has to be translucent.

      I used white PETG, but PLA could have worked too.

      However this is a decorative lamp and even though I will only be using a small LED bulb, I didn’t want to see the model droop or deform if temperatures were to get close to 60°C.

      PETG can sustain temperatures slightly higher than PLA.
