Infill:
0% vase mode
Notes:
I printed without base layers so I could eventu...ally put a light inside. I used 4 brim loops at 0 distance so the first layer would stick well.
A bit of over extrusion helps the layers stick. And running a bit hotter. Run slower until you get it dialed in.
4h42m to print at 0.2mm and 100% (300mm tall). But upped the speed a bit and got them to print in about 3h45m. Varies with filament.
For E27 light attachment (short base and long base), print with three perimeters/shells at 0.2mm layers.
Post-Printing
I found clamp work lights make a nice base of you disable and reassemble them without the clamp. And the ones I found at the big box store are UL certified.
The trunk base was designed for E27 light sockets with switches I found on Aliexpress. They are of questionable quality and Of the 10 I ordered, I had to resolder 3 of them. For low wattage LED bulbs, I think should be fine but you be your own judge and use at your own risk. Mould not trust them for anything over 10W making triple-sure they do not get warm.
