Think I saw it on Instagram and figured it should be fairly easy to make. Here’s how it came out:
Started with modelling a lamp shade in Fusion 360 and “sliced” it to get the edges I wanted. Took a 2d projection of the model at the angle I wanted and exported to a dxf. Deleted the lines I didn’t want in Inkscape, to get the 3d effect. Initially I tried doing the engraving on the acrylic with the Shapeoko, but I didn’t like how that came out. Since I have access to a laser machine, I just did it there.
The base is part of a $10 lamp from Ikea. The arm is pretty simple, 2 mirrored pieces with a groove inside for the cable. Did that on the Shapeoko out of 8mm ply. The led strip sits along the groove and circle.
Was a little bummed that after it was all put together, a couple of the leds stopped working. But it’s not that noticeable. Happy with how it come out in the end.
