Other materials needed

• A "C7 Accessory Cord with 2 C7 Led Light Bulb Candelabra-Base E12" or something similar
• An E12/BA11 bulb like “Philips LED Ultra Definition Flicker-Free Dimmable, Eye Comfort Technology, Soft White 2700K BA11 Clear Glass Light Bulb”
  • I found that bright white toned bulbs look better than yellow daylight toned bulbs.

I used PETG (with PETG print settings tuned to have no crossing of perimeters and seams are “aligned” in prusaslicer settings) in case I ever accidentally put an incandescent bulb in there and it gets a bit warm (there's not much airflow up inside, and I don't trust PLA with an incandescent bulb).

Turned out amazing and we use it as a night light now.

I printed this bad boy in PETG and used automatic paint-on supports before generation in Prusa Slicer.

My other non-default print settings were

• 0.3mm layer height, 
• 3 perimeters, 
• extra perimeters if needed, 
• Avoid Crossing Perimeters, 
• Rear Seam position 
• No staggered inner seams,
• Retraction Length: 7mm,
• Lift Z: 0mm. 
• 230C Nozzle First Layer and 95C Bed first layer, 
• other layers printed at 235C nozzle and 90C bed. 

These settings (on a satin build plate) yielded excellent results with Jessie Yellow Bird PETG.

From the MyMiniFactory Entry: 

This is a banana lamp I designed for fun. It could be a lovely night lamp for yourself or a surprise gift for your friends.

I modified the structure several times, and printed 5 prototypes, in order to make the light inside looks perfect, even tried the downwards LED Bulb setup. Only a small area needs support, the 4 peels legs and the center of the body. I use 0.2mm level height and 40% infill to save time, almost 19 hours in my machine to print the body.

The Bulb is LED bulb（less than 3.5W) with E12/E14 base. You can buy kinds of stuff on Amazon. See the last image for the assembly instructions.
