Twisted lampshade

Ribs that wind round the lamp: switched on, the light draws a spiral on the ceiling. The twist, the number of ribs and their depth are set with the mouse, and the 3D follows live.

Good to know

  • Half a turn (180°) over the height stays soft on the eye; beyond that, the spiral turns graphic.
  • The more ribs, the shallower they can be: the workbench caps the depth before the wall folds.
  • A 0.8 mm wall in spiral vase mode: the light comes through, and the print takes a few hours.
