This small light is in two pieces. It uses a "C7" candelabra light, as found on Christmas Village pieces and etc. It has a shade and a base.
I printed the base out of white PETG and the cover out of translucent PETG. I used a LED bulb which does not generate much heat at all, so if you get an LED bulb you could probably even get away with PLA.
Printable STLs are included as well as "FCSTD" files editable in FreeCAD.
IMPORTANT
Set infill to 0% and top layers / top layer count to 0. This should leave you with a nice shell. I used 3 perimeters, but I'm sure 2 or 1 would work as well.
Note: the bulb is modeled solid. I printed it with the larger side facing bottom. Both sides are pretty flat, so you could probably get away with it either way. I used 0.2 layer height.
