Hot Air Balloon Lamp – Decorative & Functional

This hot air balloon–shaped model is designed as a charming decorative object that can also be transformed into a fully functional lamp.

With overall dimensions of 278 mm height and 152 mm circumference, the model has a balanced, elegant shape that prints reliably while maintaining a light and airy appearance.

The design supports two use cases:

• Standalone decorative balloon
• Ambient lamp, using a standard E14 socket and bulb

For the lamp configuration, the model is compatible with a standard E14 cord set (such as the STRÅLA cord set from IKEA) and an E14 light bulb, making it easy to assemble using commonly available components.

To ensure a successful print, the provided print profile includes custom modifiers and carefully placed support blockers, optimized specifically for this model. These settings improve surface quality, reduce unnecessary supports, and help achieve a clean result even on complex curved sections.
