For this piece I tried to create a more personal piece of artwork. My grandmother’s favorite bird was the blue jay, and whenever I see one it always reminds me of her. I decided to include a blue jay on the front of the box, while a pair of angelic wings on the top. I…

Lantern Design (forgot to post!)
Here’s the design I made for my lantern. I used trace bitmap to scan in stars and then hand placed and sized everything in inkscape. The black outline is what is being cut out of the design which I imported from my solidworks design as dxf files. Here’s the CAD design I made of my…
Design/WIP Posts I meant to make – Sydney
While I was making progress in this class steadily over the course of the term, posting about that progress was not as consistent. I still find that this type of information is helpful though, so I wanted to go over all the stuff that went into design for the Lantern and the Altered Toys (the…
Lantern Project WIP post-Critique
Ok so since my last post, I’ve done quite a bit of work on this project and I’m just about ready to start actually cutting the acrylic once I can get my hands on enough 1/4 inch to make it all. Additionally, I’ve spent some time in fusion throwing together a quick enclosure for the…
Lantern Project WIP
I managed to cut and put together my lantern today. Unfortunately, despite testing all my raster settings with a light, most of the detail did not shine through. I also had an issue with holes in the plywood that I had to patch, which made the box look a bit messy. Overall, I think if…

A question I have is what I should use to color the wood blue. I want use acrylic paint however I am worried this will fill in some engravings I have on the bottom layer. Should I use dye instead of paint? This is an image of my layers project .svg file to serve as…
WIP – Lantern Project – Samuel Kierstead
I was able to get some time on the laser and begin to cut out some of the pictures for my lantern. I am quite happy with how this is coming together. I ordered the supplies needed for lighting up my lantern. One question that I have is if I should diffuse the light in…

Quick design I plan to use a multi color bulb to illuminate the box. I also want to put a stand on the top to hold a speaker.

I used makercase to create a 6x4x4 box, and I plan to make a lantern featuring a vector drawing of Shin Kamen Rider.

Going to attempt my first 3D print here at WPI with this weird design that just kind of created itself in my head.

For my lantern project I decided to go with a 3:2 aspect ratio kerf bent box that displays a night time mountain/moon scene. The housing will be made of wood and then the three inner panels will be clear or colored acrylic that is under lit with LED strip lights.One question I have is whether…

For my lantern, I decided to work on a small, simple box that defines what courage means to me. It has the words “courage” written along the sides of it in the three languages that have played a defining role in my heritage and identity. I designed images to go on the other two faces….

I wanted to emulate cracks for the lantern project. The red is going to be a light engraving and the purple would be a deeper engraving. The light is going to come out of the cracks like the engraved example that was shown in class. I will be putting in a lightbulb to get a…

I want to design a nether portal from Minecraft that can be turned on and off. I plan to use black painted plywood to create the frames, with purple cardstock behind the holes. In the center will be a sheet of engraved acrylic lit by LEDs along the top that are inside the frame. I…

For this project, I wanted to create a box case for a diffuser. I bought a diffuser online and hopefully, it will serve as my LED source. With my design, there will be a hole at the top of my box to allow the diffuser to work. So far I have created designs for the…
Lantern Design Plan
My plan for my lantern is to use cardboard to make a short box with one of the sides missing. That opening will allow me to slide my phone into the box and use its adjustable flashlight as a light source. The top face of the box will host the design which I traced in…
Initial Lantern Design – Andrew Roush
From talking to a few people I have learned that you can strait up engrave images on the laser. This only works with the newer smaller laser though. I plan to make a 4x4x4 cube with rounded corners by bending the wood. I’m going to test having images engraved into the bent portion, but we…

I am planning to make my lantern out of cardboard and paper. The box will be made of cardboard and will have a hole in the front which will be covered in a layered paper deign. I am also thinking of maybe painting it black so that the main focus of the lantern will be…
Lantern Design – Samuel Kierstead
For my Lantern Project I decided to make a disco ball type shape. The technical term for this shape is a dodecahedron which is made up of 12 pentagon shaped tiles. The design of the cutouts on each pentagon was mostly random, but constrained with lots of geometry based off of the pentagon shape. I…

In this project I will attempt to make a growing tree scene within my lantern. I would like to make the vessel spin if it is possible to add an interesting spin on the design. I took inspiration from several sources such as the tree box image, the hexagon bees image, and the greatest showman…

For this project, I’m hoping to recreate the Steal Your Face symbol in 3ish D using bottom-lit laser-cut acrylic. The essential components of this project will include a box for holding each of the “slides” and three laser cut/engraved “slides” (Red, Blue, White/grey) as well as lights power supplies, and controllers. An additional aspect that…

My lantern design in based on the song “Ptolemaea” by Ethel Cain. The song is horrifying and beautiful in a extremely unique way, and I’ve been listening to it often. Based on the lyrics and feel of the song, I designed these 3 sides for the lantern; the fourth side will have the song lyrics…
