KASMO pendant lamp, an easy E14 spiral shade to print

The KASMO pendant lamp is built around a cylindrical shade with a flowing curved cut running through its perforated surface, designed so an E14 bulb behind it throws a patterned glow rather than a flat wash of light.

A shade shaped by its opening

What sets this design apart from a plain drum shade is the curved opening cut into the cylinder. It breaks up the otherwise clean geometry and gives the light somewhere to escape unevenly, so the pattern on the wall or ceiling shifts depending on where you stand. The rest of the surface carries a detailed perforated texture, and together the two elements do the actual work of the lamp: one shapes the light, the other filters it. Sektor 7 Studios describes the contrast between the dark outer surface and the warm glow as the main visual hook, and that tracks with what the geometry is doing structurally, not just decoratively.

Printed appearance and the E14 socket

Once printed, the KASMO pendant lamp reads as a dark, textured cylinder until the bulb goes on, at which point the perforations turn into a lit pattern across the shade. This version is built specifically for an E14 lamp socket, which matters if you already own fittings for the other size. Sektor 7 Studios also sells a separate KASMO version for E27 sockets, so it is worth checking which bulb base you actually have on hand before you commit filament to the print. The source material is direct about safety here too: only LED bulbs should go in this shade, nothing that generates real heat, since the printed material cannot take high temperatures near the socket.

What comes in the file

The listing includes STL files for general printing and 3MF files with predefined profiles for Bambu Lab printers, which is useful if that is your machine and you would rather not dial in settings from scratch. Sektor 7 Studios also flags a practical warning worth repeating here in different words than the source: take care removing the printed parts from the print plate, since the curved and perforated shade is the kind of geometry that can catch or snag on the way off.

Where the KASMO pendant lamp works

This is a fixture for a specific spot rather than general room lighting. The sources point to dining tables, coffee tables, sideboards, desks, and reading corners as the places it is meant to hang, and that lines up with what a pendant with a directional, patterned glow is actually good at: lighting a surface below it rather than an entire room. Aesthetically it is pitched at modern, Japandi, Scandinavian, and minimal interiors, which fits a dark textured shade over a plain E14 fixture rather than anything ornate.

Which version to start with

If you are choosing between the E14 and E27 KASMO versions, the decision mostly comes down to what socket hardware you already own or are willing to buy, since the shade design itself is the shared idea across both. For anyone starting from nothing, E14 sockets and cable sets are commonly available, and Sektor 7 Studios links specific LED bulb recommendations to go with this shade, which is a reasonable starting point if you want the lamp working the first time you plug it in rather than troubleshooting a mismatched bulb base afterward. Either way, the printed shade is the same idea: a plain cylinder made interesting by one curved cut and a field of perforations, sized to sit above a table rather than dominate a room.
