Aesthetic Part (Look & Impact)

This half-open seashell is designed as a high-quality decorative object with a calm, coastal feel. The outer surface features clear, natural ribbing, while the inside is shaped with smooth radii and a gently wavy edge, creating an elegant, organic form. At the center sits the pearl as a deliberate focal point: when illuminated, it produces a warm, soft glow reminiscent of mother-of-pearl, adding depth and character to the design.

Thanks to light and shadow, the contours of the shell appear especially three-dimensional.

Practical Part (Use Cases)

The model is conceived as a compact mood light and is ideal for a bedside table, shelf, desk, or as a decorative accent light. The half-open shape directs the light in a controlled way, reflecting it inside the shell and releasing it outward as a soft, indirect glow. This creates pleasant, unobtrusive ambient lighting.

Technical Part (Printing, Assembly, Lighting)

The model consists of multiple components (see exploded view): an upper shell, a lower shell, the pearl, and an insert/retaining ring for securing the light source. The light module is placed into the retaining ring, which is then positioned inside the lower shell; the pearl is placed on top of the retaining ring.

Recommendations:

• Pearl: ideally printed in white/translucent material (e.g., translucent PLA or PETG) for even light diffusion.
• Shell: especially well suited for silk PLA or metallic filaments, as these materials highlight the surface texture beautifully.

Assembly:

1. Insert the light module into the retaining ring/insert.
2. Place the retaining ring/insert into the lower half of the shell.
3. Set the pearl onto the retaining ring.
4. The two shell halves connect without glue: simply slide them together with a precise friction-fit (plug/slide connection), resulting in a clean and stable assembly.
