🕯️ The Shroud Lamp: An Organic Ambient Light

The Shroud Lamp is a study in translucency and biomorphic form. Designed to be more than just a light source, it acts as a sculptural centerpiece. The upper "shroud" features a variable-thickness skin that creates a beautiful internal gradient when illuminated, while the base provides a solid, weighted foundation with a modern, sharp-edged aesthetic.

✨ Key Design Features

• Dynamic Illumination: The shroud is optimized for translucent filaments, diffusing light to create a soft, warm glow that highlights the internal structural "ribs."
• Adhesive-Free Assembly: Engineered with precision tolerances for a secure friction-fit between the shroud and the base. No glue or messy post-processing required.
• Modern Biomorphic Aesthetic: A perfect blend of fluid, organic curves on top and a stable, geometric footprint below.

🛠️ Technical Print Recommendations

To achieve the "shroud" effect seen in the photos, follow these guidelines:

• Shroud Material: Translucent PLA or PETG (Natural, Clear, or "Frosted" filaments work best).
• Base Material: Solid Opaque PLA or Matte Black/White for high contrast.
• Layer Height: 0.16mm – 0.2mm for smooth curvature.
• Wall Loops: 2 loops for the shroud to maintain translucency. 3-4 loops for the base for structural integrity.
• Supports: Optimized for support-free printing. The internal angles are designed to bridge and overhang without external help.

🔌 Hardware Compatibility

• Light Source: Designed for a standard LED Puck light (up to 60mm) or a small USB-powered LED strip coil.
• Safety: Use LEDs only. The proximity of the shroud to the light source requires a low-heat solution to prevent filament deformation.
