Our cat dropped our IKEA Vidja lamp. Twice. While the lamp survived, the top clip broke miserably. So I decided to redesign it for 3D printing to be able to replace it. The result is, in my opinion, an improvement over the original. And you can always print another clip if it breaks.
I've printed both parts with 100% infill so the clip is stronger and the cover doesn't let the light pass through. I suggest PETG for the clip part for its little extra elasticity and heat resistance. To match the original part color, I've used a Silver Silk PLA for the cover.
To assemble, just snap the cover on the clip (the tolerance is quite tight, but it snaps), then install the clip on the lamp as shown in IKEA assembly instructions. (see photos as reference).
