Notes

It all started with a simple idea. How difficult it can be? :-)

First prototype if I can even do such a thing using breadboard and a few wires.

Can I build a case in autocad?

Can I print it and assemble it?

Result

It was quite a challenge to build this lamp, but it was a lot of fun. In my opinion it looks really cool and I'm happy with the result. It took for me about one week to build it during my free time.
