Neat design! A friend bought an artichoke floor lamp that is really full with an RGB bulb. This has a bit of a pinecone vibe too, maybe because it's so compact
Hi there! This is such a nice project. It's been a while since you've posted and I'm browsing through my subscriptions and wondering what else you've been working on. I know it's a lot of effort to do the videos... You have a very good, straightforward style of presentation. I hope you teach stuff when you're not building things.
Amy, atomstack lasers are designed to cut at 2 mm. Use the acrylic piece they send with it to distance the laser head. Gauge your distance from the high point of the plywood. Get Louisiana Hobby Goy's atomstack cutting library for best settings. Thanks! Great project
Cool project! Now I want laser cutter (I already have a big plasma table). For me it would be super useful to cut prototypes out of plywood instead of metal, and on smaller scale too.
1. That is beautiful. 2. The "pew pew" label on the laser diagram made me laugh. 3. The company that sent you the laser engraver just got product development for free. Companies are going to start sending you their products in development "for free to try" so you can solve problems for them lol.
Hi Amy. I just stumbled across this video. This is such a great project! I just purchased an Atomstack X7 laser engraver. Can I get the files needed to cut out the parts for this lamp? I really don't know anything yet about laser cutting or engraving. This looks like something that I would like to try. Thanks for any reply that you provide!
Does the glass on your 45w CO2 machine protect you from the UV?? I don’t have much experience with UV lasers outside enclosed DLP printers. I love that design!!
@@AmyMakesStuff Is the original glass window on the little laser meant to block most of the laser light but still allow you to see what's happening? It almost looks like it had some dichroic coating, or was very heavily silvered, but not 100% reflective and still slightly transmissive
@@AmyMakesStuff The UV from your smaller cutter isn't short wave enough to be blocked by normal glass. And the glass from your CO2 laser is meant to block longer IR wavelength. So you definitely need to wear the glasses meant for the Atomstack A10 Pro even when it is inside the enclosure.
Using the CO2 enclosure is mostly to take advantage of the fume extraction and limit stray light that could make it to my dog and cat who are often in the shop with me. I still wear the appropriate glasses religiously.
What an amazing build! Do you think it would either look good or maybe help with light distribution of you were to coat one side of the panels in a reflective surface? For example like a silver or copper finish? Just curious :)
Hey. Really nice job🙂🙂 But.. is there not a problem with copyright on this design.. i am not trying to be the police here.. but i come from Denmark where this lamp were designed and here in Denmark we would be sued before the laser was finished
An interesting idea could be to make it out of a gradient of acrylic, or other appropriate translucent colour sheets. If this looks a little too trashy eighties plastic maybe a mix of wood and gradients of colours.
Is there a reason you're using the smaller laser inside the enclosure of the bigger laser, instead of using the bigger laser directly? Does a co2 laser not do well with plywood? I get that it's a promotion in kind of them sending you the machine, but I'm wondering if a violet laser actually has some advantage over co2 for this material or something.
oh ya, sorry, that's confusing! My CO2 laser would have done a great job making this project. It is 45W (so all the parts would have easily cut in 1 pass), and CO2 lasers are great for wood. The stainless steel engraving at the end, though, is something the CO2 laser could not do directly without some additional chemicals applied to the surface. I also just think its fun to show cool things being made on small machines.
@@AmyMakesStuff Clough42 recently got a small-ish laser too, and had mentioned that violet lasers are better at some things than co2 is (such as marking / engraving steel / stainless steel)
hmm 666 likes.. kinda don't want to mess that up, even though I want to give you that thumb up ;) - any chance you will share that pattern for the lamp ?
so what you're saying is the laser is garbage and you need a better laser cutter to made it usable. idk why people would want to risk getting a cheap useless laser cutter. just buy the big proper one that comes with all you need.
For some, that’s definitely the right conclusion. For others who will enjoy the project of making these improvements and find the $$ cost savings worth it, it could be the right choice to get this one.
Awesome! Very well executed. The idea with the bike spoke was fantastic.
Neat design! A friend bought an artichoke floor lamp that is really full with an RGB bulb. This has a bit of a pinecone vibe too, maybe because it's so compact
All the pinecone vibes!!
I do love to see a good mechanical and art build. Thanks for this!
That’s awesome. It turned out really well!
Thank you!

Beautiful and ingenious! Your videos are always great.
Congrats, You made a really nice work, very well explained and Your voice it's really nice too.
That looks great! Hope we get to see Maki wearing their collar too!
Pineco lantern: GOTTA CATCH'EM ALL
Very slick hanging mechanism!
thank you!
Damn! I’m learning more stuff without even trying. Love the project.
yay! Thank you!
I don't know how I ended up here but that light fixture is dope!
Thank you!
That's a really great lamp. A super design and the result looks fantastic.
Thank you!
Beautiful lamp! Thanks for sharing the video about making it.
Beautiful workmanship, thank you for sharing
Incredibly cool!!! Love this lamp! Thank you.
Thanks for watching!

Awesome videos. Really anxious to see what your next project is!
Thank you for your attentive evaluation. At present, there are discounts on our website, and you are welcome to come and buy.
beautiful result!
Looks fantastic! So smart and such great use of materials. A two-toned look would be cool-one side wood, the other flat white.
Thank you for your careful review.

yay, youtube recommended your channel in my subscription page again. For the dog collar, rivets might be a good choice instead of zip ties.
Yup, definitely. Need to order some!
That's some good reverse engineering. Glad I subscribed.
"but then again, I'm cutting the enclosure" fair. lol
Good job from Algeria
Thank you!

Great video and hack. Super cool design and project build. Mahalo for sharing! : )

Really nice lamp, would love to buy the design template!

Oh excellent question, it does not. I wear safety glasses when I run the UV laser, or I cover the window with something opaque.

I have OD6 glasses for both kinds of lasers.

really cool! the slides are really helpful
I’m glad to hear that! I’m afraid some folks might find them boring.
Amy, Smart creative and beautiful.😉
this is so cool!
Thanks!
Do you share the svg or dxf file?
Hello, you have a very beautiful layout. Do you by any chance sell drawings?
Love it. What do you think about using a Fibonacci spiral? it would add some complexity, but I bet the effect would be amazing.
What an amazing build! Do you think it would either look good or maybe help with light distribution of you were to coat one side of the panels in a reflective surface? For example like a silver or copper finish?
Just curious :)
Totally! Even white would make it much brighter I think. But really you could paint whatever color to get whatever tinted light!
did you use 100% of the power? what speed did you use to cut 2mm thicc plywood?
Hey. Really nice job🙂🙂
But.. is there not a problem with copyright on this design.. i am not trying to be the police here.. but i come from Denmark where this lamp were designed and here in Denmark we would be sued before the laser was finished
Hello Amy , nice work , did you find any site to sell the files ?

Laser beam, pew pew
How many mm did you cut under the laser?

Are you planning on selling plans to the lamp?
Seconded! Anything less than $22,418.00 would be a bargain! 😄
Yes, I’d like to, need to figure out some website stuff. Haha, yes, it will be much much much less than 22k
@@AmyMakesStuff Maybe NFTs? I haven't looked too closely at them but there's a kind where many users pay a little to buy their own copy of the file.
Can you share this template?
Where's the dog tho
😂 I’ll show her next time! Sorry!!
Your like really cute
