Outdoor Lantern Shades

## 🌞 **Outdoor Lantern Shades – Durable Replacement**

Designed these to replace some **paper lanterns** I had hanging outside — they didn’t last long in the weather.
I printed these using **PETG** for better durability, but you might find other materials more appropriate depending on how much **sun and heat** they’ll be exposed to.

To keep the **lid in place**, I used a bit of **hot glue**, but feel free to use any adhesive you prefer.
They printed **just fine without supports**, probably because I slowed down the print for PETG.

I originally used **fuzzy skin**, but I think it actually looks better without it.
To add extra protection, I gave them a coat of **spray lacquer** — totally optional.
