A broken lamp shade on my nightstand prompted this replacement. It was designed on [onshape](https://cad.onshape.com/documents/56c50bdbe4b05077ef160412/w/865db02100733677489263d5), sliced in simplify3D using a hexagonal infill, and printed on a PrintrBot Simple Metal using white Hatchbox PLA. The lamp uses a 7W GE LED bulb so heat is not much of a concern.

The print took10 hours to complete, but I think it came out good. The wife approved.
