  • Download the STL files from the link above and print them with your 3D printer.
  • Put the moulds for the shell on your vacuum former and use a material sheet to form the shapes. Use HIPS for opaque shells and PET for transparent shells.
  • Cut the formed shells out of the sheet. Make sure you also make an opening in the middle part that the electrical wire can go through.
  • Place the lamp fitting and lamp inside the shell.
  • Fold the shell to close it and fix both halves in place with the 3D printed outer frame.
