 # lampshades models
 
-My lampshade on the Ikea lamp is similar to [HEKTOGRAM](https://www.ikea.com/cz/cs/p/hektogram-stojaci-cteci-lampa-stribrna-bila-80477710/) was broken. I thought about buying a new light, but I wouldn't say I like the latest version of the lamp, and I'm a happy owner of a 3D printer.
+My lampshade on the Ikea lamp is similar to [HEKTOGRAM](https://www.ikea.com/cz/cs/p/hektogram-stojaci-cteci-lampa-stribrna-bila-80477710/) was broken. As a owner of 3D printing I tried to make new lapmshade.
 
 I have two versions of lampshades; both are made in amazing [OpenSCAD](https://openscad.org) and are fully customizable.
 
 The first model which I made is `lampshade_conical.scad`. That was the easier one. But I wanted to have the lampshade more curved, so I did the second model, `lampshade_curved.scad`.
 
-Configuration of the `lampshade_conical` is pretty simple, and the second is more complex - you need to play with `curved_factor` to find a proper design and height.

-And btw. I lost the nut for the lampshade. That is the reason why my models contain nuts. If you don't want nut—comment `nut` line.
+And btw. I lost the nut for the lampshade.
+
+My first models contain nuts as part of lampshade, but it wasn't a good design, so I made a separate `./nut.scad` again - fully customizable.
+
+Thanks to decision to separate lampshade and nut (the original set up of the lamp btw.) I'm fully flexible.
 
 I wish you a lot of fun with modeling (and printing).
