The story and maths behind the Sferical lamps by R3GB

I made a prototype for a new version of my light-boxes. The aim is to have them easier to build, and also to have them unmountable for maintenance purposes ; it now uses four screws for hat purpose (two at the front and two at the back. It is also slightly larger
I still need one more iteration to fix one issue during the mounting, but it would not be visible on the pictures as it is in the internal part.
Then I can send my PR to https://boxes.hackerspace-bamberg.de/
My pet project this year was contributing a sphere generator to #boxespy . And it's finally up and running!
I had a lot of fun figuring out how to code and how to math this project
Boxes.py has been one of my favorites websites for a long time and it's great to finally give something back.
If you want to know more about the math or the why, come to my talk at #why2025
