I made this lamp during a weekend, getting used to the Fusion 360 software. I am now converted from the Inventor “old” days. I find that a lot of improvements that I would want to have in Inventor is now directly available in Fusion360. I also like the CAM environment which is helpful for the CNC machines I have.
So far, I have used it mostly to build things that I cut with the Laser. I export the sketches using the export as DXF file and then import into Adobe Illustrator CC, then export as
“old illustrator” format (V8) that the laser is capable of understanding. So far so good.
I have created a few shortcut scripts in the Illustrator environment to create quickly a file that is compatible with my Laser. For example converting text into paths and reducing the thickness of the lines to 0.01mm.
The project was “created in the morning”, “finished” on the evening of the same day. It is made of 3mm ply and 3mm Bamboo. It uses an LIFX lamp bulb and a small sheet of light diffuser. I love the capabilities that these new fabrication tools bring.
On this project, I used a Fusion360 app add-in, which helps to create quickly Voronoi patterns on a sketch.
