While provocatively curved, she is indeed very shy! She only allows a glowing glimpse of what she holds inside. A light shade for LED tea-light or Luxeon/Cree LED. Hiding the source from direct view, it results in a gentle light emerging

Part of the (r)evolutionary twin-shell series. This family of shapes is one of my older pet projects.

Over the years I designed and printed many shapes, sizes, thicknesses, slopes and variations.

I usually mount the Cree-LEDS on an aluminum disc which is spray painted black. Besides looking very stylish this also function well as a cooling method for the LED.

The current selection presented is optimized for home printing without support.

From this particular iteration I have already printed Adam, so all should be OK.

Without further delay...

Please meet: Eno, Adam, Eve and Ando!

Ca 12.5cm high and wide, with 2mm wall thickness. See the Shapeways shop for Nylon editions in other sizes: http://www.shapeways.com/shops/virtox?section=Lighting More will be online soon.

Rotate 45 degrees around the z-axis to more easily fit it on the plate. And scale to fit your printer. Perhaps also make a mirror copy and get a nice symmetric set :-)

Tested in ABS and PLA, I recommend natural or transparent.

Full details on this power-LED project will follow. For now you can print and use with small led-candles :-)
