Laser cut lamp shade!

#1

Check out the lamp shade that I made today using the “living hinge” technique :grinning: - It’s just a prototype to see what issues I will have and to see how and where I can improve it.

Looks amazing!
If your still in prototyping maybe have a go at a few of the alternative designs of living Hinges : http://www.instructables.com/id/Curved-laser-bent-wood/

I love the light streaks…

I would stick a led lamp inside that thing , the one you used look pretty powerful , there is a quiet fire risk…

#6

Yeah I’ve already mocked up some differently designs using those :slight_smile:

Yeah I that’s the plan, just threw this together with another lamp that I already had to test how well the light came through. Don’t think the Mrs would be too impressed if I didn’t put her other lamp back together haha :joy:
