A free browser tool for shaping, previewing, and exporting customizable 3D-printable lampshades.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-20 issue.

For: 3D-printing hobbyists designing lampshades
Worth noticing: Section locks let users randomize one part of a design while keeping other settings unchanged.

Field notes

The editor supports profile-node changes by dragging in the 3D view or double-clicking the shade, and section locks let users randomize one area while preserving others. The 28-design library is a starting point; the page also specifies a 250 mm maximum-size indicator and an optional E27 holder with spokes designed to fuse into the shell. Export choices include an editable OpenSCAD approximation and JSON settings.
