Material & print notes
The original design was printed in PLA on an Elegoo Neptune 2, using about 204 g of material over roughly 7.5 hours, split across several parts. The geometry is optimized for standard 0.4 mm nozzles with layer heights around 0.25–0.30 mm, balancing detail and speed. You can choose opaque or translucent materials for the shade depending on how diffused you want the light.
(Adjust this part depending on what you sell.)
