This design of this lamp shade is oriented on a "classic" vase shape and has some thread decor in addition.
The opening for the socket is 44mm in diameter.
This is the one I used: Amazon.com/Amazon.de/Amazon.co.uk
This is the lightbulp I used: https://amzn.to/2WcWrYW
Because the threads have some quite steep overhangs I increased the extrusion width to 150% nozzle diameter which worked really well.
But because of the steep angles there are repeating little gaps between some layers giving some nice net/grid effect which also increases the amount of light which leaves the lampshade.

I was using a 0.4mm diameter nozzle at 0.3mm layer height and set the extrusion width to 0.6mm to allow the steep overhangs to get printed well.
Printed in vase mode with 3 solid bottom layers.

Great design, but use bigger nozzle or line width. I've used 0.4 nozzle and it printed ok, but there are some imperfections. I've even made video about it: https://youtu.be/iiL8hjtQyuE Printed on my Prusa i3 MK3s with Enotepad Wood PLA: http://bit.ly/enotepadWoodPLA (affiliate link, you pay nothing extra, I get some change)
