Laser Cut Constellation Lamp

thingiverse

Last summer I decided to see if I could design a lamp that could be built from laser cut parts. I first created the body in Solidworks, then exported the pieces to Rhino where I created the assembly and constellation designs. I'm calling it a "Constellation Lamp", but this design can actually be whatever you want. I designed the lamp so that the panels are interchangeable; you can make your own sets! [Full instructions can be found on my Instructable](https://www.instructables.com/id/Constellation-Lamp/) Materials: -3mm birch plywood (18x24" sheet) -[MR11 bulb](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018662KNY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) -[Socket base](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DQGL9T6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) (that fits MR11 bulbs) -[Female power jack adapter](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XJ2Q5N2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) -[12V power supply adapter](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FEOB4EI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1) -Super glue (quick drying) -[Optional] Wood finish NOTES: -This was saved in Rhino, and exported to DXF and SVG. If you don't use Rhino, I would recommend trying to import the DXF file first (that one successfully imported for me); I haven't tested the SVG, and it may be missing some parts -If you use a difference thickness plywood, you will need to modify the grids that connect the pieces -If you use a different socket base then me, you may need modify the diameter of the laser cut piece that holds it
