A basic but (IMO) quite attractive fern leaf/frond lampshade. The leaf is a single layer (0.25mm) thick so will require a well-adjusted printer! The centre part has slots for assembly with 5, 7 or 9 leaves - you choose how many you want!
I designed it with very thin leaves so they will move in a breeze and look more realistic; as a bonus they are quick to print (~12 mins for one, 22 mins for two) and very filament-frugal.
It also makes pretty shadows on the ceiling! Check out the photos to see the difference between a small clear LED and a large diffused LED.
I have included a file with one leaf, and another with two leaves for easier printing if your printer is big enough.
How to make it:
-Print one centre part, preferably using NO extra shells as the holes will be too small otherwise, and 15% fill (or whatever you prefer)
-Print 5, 7 or 9 leaves. 3 will work also, just use every 3rd hole of the top row
-Carefully fit the base of leaf stem into appropriate hole in centr
