Summary

This is a remake of a classic Japanese lantern.

Printed in just three different parts:

  • a base fixed to the wall or ceiling where an LED lamp gets fitted
  • four equal side parts, which snap together
  • a top part which has no snaps yet, but fits in perfectly in order to be glued.

The base and side parts can be fixed with short 1.75 filament pieces at each corner. I melted the ends of each half inch filament piece and pressed them flat in order to make them look like a small nail.

Then some square transparent paper sheets get cut and glued inside top and side pieces. Pro tip: transparent Nail varnish works like a charm. Just a small drop at each corner and each corner of the inside rectangle.

Remember to use it with cool LED lights only, because the old glow-wire bulbs produce too much heat and may melt or even burn the thing to hell.

The E27 bulb fittings can be found in a hardware store or amazon. When removing the lower rounded part, the part with the lamp thread can snap right into the printed base.
