Lampshade Studio

What is Lampshade Studio?

Lampshade Studio is a free browser tool for designing a lampshade you can print. You start from a blank profile or one of 10 presets, such as ripple bell, twisted hex, Voronoi lantern or woven basket, then drag points on the side profile or type exact heights and diameters. Sliders add sides, twist, ripples and vertical waves to the wall.

On top of the shape you can add a Voronoi, knurl or weave pattern, engrave or raise text, and cut perforations as circles, slots or diamonds. A lit view shows the shade glowing with the filament color, a matte, silk or glossy finish, and a bulb brightness and color temperature you set. The Print panel sets solid or vase mode, wall thickness, nozzle size and printer (Bambu P1/X1, Prusa MK4, Ender 3 or Bambu A1 mini), and a fitting: an E27 or E14 ring fused to the wall, a harp, a table-lamp base or none. It shows the size, filament weight, print time, overhang and whether it fits your bed.

Export is a 3MF or STL, plus an SVG of the profile for paper or laser-cut templates, and a share link saves the design. It is free with no account. The code is public on GitHub, but the repository has no license file. It suits makers who want a lampshade with a profile and pattern of their own.
