Workable as proof of concept, anyway and not at all geeky. Turns out, even a noob with the r3 Wacom tablet like me, can still manage to get workable results within an hour.

Due to time constraints and out of concerns for stability I opted for thicker connections and larger windows instead of many fine patterns. That sucked.Īfter quickly being fed up seeing price tags for simple SVGs, I decided to try my hand at drawing. I went to and started browsed for creative commons or copyright free SVGs and designs. Secondly I wanted the light to shine through an awesome looking design.

Of course I made a mistake and duplicated the wrong sides, but realized this in time to not waste any wood. From these, I would take the top and bottom parts and create the trapezoid sides by rotating the generated finger-joint borders. I decided to draw the box by hand in Inkscape, based on two different sized cubic boxes generated with an Inkscape extension. Here is an otherwise impressive list of joint and box scripts, which I came across. Turns out, there is none that I could find. Make them easy to assembly, so we just need to transport the sheets of wood and can easily assemble several of them at the location.Īfter a short discussion on IRC about who had time and ideas for the right approach, I decided to give it a try myself and see what I could do in about half a day.įirst I went looking for a trapezoid box maker. Leave enough space inside to put in any (battery powered) light at hand. Lasercut some trapezoid lamps that make for a cosy atmosphere in our lounge tent. Since our last meeting for the upcoming Chaos Communication Camp 2019, an idea got stuck in my head (many actually, but this post is just about that one):
