Vase Lampshade Studio
Design a designer lampshade in minutes — with the bulb holder built in — and print the whole lamp in one continuous vase-mode piece. No CAD. No supports. No mesh repairs, ever.

WHY IT'S DIFFERENT
The lamp prints itself.
Holder and all.
Every other lampshade file leaves you gluing a separate bulb ring in place. The Studio fuses a spoked E27/E14 holder into the shade and computes your slicer's exact vase-mode settings — so one print, with zero supports, comes off the bed as a finished lamp.
105 shapes, infinite lamps
Ogee bells, twisted stars, pumpkins, nautilus spirals, basket weaves — every profile is parametric, so height, radii, flutes and twists are yours to drag. Or draw your own silhouette and trace a photo outline.
The one-piece vase-mode trick
The bulb holder sits at the bottom, and the app calculates the solid bottom-layer count for YOUR ring height and layer height (e.g. 10 mm ÷ 0.2 mm = 50). Enable vase mode, set the number, print the whole lamp in one go.
Photos & names that glow
Lithophane mode embosses any photo into the wall so it appears when the lamp lights. Text mode wraps names and dates on a curved baseline — glowing, raised or engraved. Personalised gifts, ready in minutes.
Watertight, guaranteed
Every STL, OBJ and 3MF export is a closed, consistently-oriented manifold. Orca, Cura, Prusa and Bambu open them with zero warnings — no Netfabb, no repair step, no failed prints from bad meshes.
Your printer, checked
Pick your printer (Ender, Prusa, Bambu & more, or custom L×W×H) and the build volume appears around your design. Outgrow the bed and the validator warns you with the exact failing dimension — before you waste filament.
A print guide per lamp
One click writes a professional PDF tailored to your exact design: mode, walls, computed bottom layers, materials and assembly. The illustrated user manual is included too.

INSIDE THE STUDIO
Four steps. Every control explained.
Real, annotated screenshots of the software — click any of them to inspect the full-size detail.
Presets, size and orientation, plus the 105-shape library with live silhouette thumbnails.
Two-tone blends, lithophane photos, curved text and 11 stackable modifiers.
E27/E14/B22/GU10 holder with 8 spoke styles — auto-sized to the shade opening.
Computed vase-mode slicer settings, printer-bed check and watertight STL/OBJ/3MF export.
Numbered balloons on each screenshot match the legends in the included manual.
NO GUESSWORK PRINTING
A print guide,
computed per lamp.
One click in the Studio writes a professional PDF tailored to your exact design — including the one-piece vase-mode recipe: Bottom shell layers = ring height ÷ layer height, so the slicer prints the bulb holder solid and spiralizes the shade above it automatically.
