Alie Gonzalez-GuyonSoooo I’ve been making lamps recently and have been slacking on the whole, post what you make part. So here are some snippets!
That last one was made with concrete + rebar. Oh and some sand for the void space where the light bulb is. Looks sick at night or in a dark room
Taking a different direction, last week I designed and printed this lamp.
Yes, even the lampshade is printed. Vase mode is pretty cool but there were definitely some issues in the surface finish. Plus the dang thing broke while attaching the lightbulb so I had to solder the layers back together. 😅
This week I’m making….another lamp!
I’m thinking of making an hourglass with 2 bulbs that rotates from the center using a slip ring.
Still have to figure out the center attachment and how that rotates. Plus how I’m getting the bulbs in there.
Might scrap the rotating in favor of figuring out a repeatable way to attach the bulbs. Last weeks lamp took over an hour just to get the dang bulb in place so I’d rather not repeat that.
I also kinda wanna make the center part out of wood, but idk if I have time for that. Turning wood would be a fun new skill though.
But gotta keep my 1 project per week cadence and actually edit/post the videos I’ve been taking.
