So I've been busy learning the in's and out's of my new laser engraver. While browsing online I came across some beautiful Japanese paper and wood lanterns and knew exactly what I wanted my first big project with my laser to be. In this video we take a look at the design, process, failures and final resulting lamp.

Hundreds of laser sites on UA-cam would saved you alot of time
Sometimes it's the journey that has value, not just the destination. I had a lot of fun and learned a lot in the process so I don't regret taking the long but scenic route.
@@sjm4306yes. The road less traveled
You are the master.
Very nice project. You could maybe use data from the touchpad to seed the randomization? (Not that it matters.)
I would have used finger joints around the edges to make assembly a little easier (you could strap clamp the whole thing together since the fingers would have supported the back of each side)
I thought that was the way I was gonna do it at first but figured it'd mar the clean aesthetic. This way is more annoying to glue up but looks super clean once the burned edges are sanded.
Amazing! I love the concept, very simple but the patterns make it look more complex. Where can I find the files you mention in the video?
Oops looks like I forgot to link the project page in the description. You can grab the files here: hackaday.io/project/185495-laser-cut-kumiko-style-wood-and-paper-led-lamp
Looking sharp! Thank you for sharing. Couldn't find the PCB design file in your linky .. are you willing to share? :)
Thanks, I'll check in the morning and upload if I've forgotten (apologies if that's the case).
@@sjm4306 thanks man, it's entirely likely I'm being dense
You were absolutely correct, I uploaded everything except the pcb gerbers lol. I've added the eagle board files and gerbers just now. Thanks.
@@sjm4306 nice! I shall yoink then later :) thanks again
Good stuff. How can I get a pcb like that? I would like to try this.
I have a few spare bare pcbs if you wanted one for the cost of shipping, but unfortunately I'm out of the microcontroller chips (lead times are ridiculous, and the alternative of buying scalper chips at 10x markup is unsavory).
@@sjm4306 I apreciate the offer but I was thinking more of, get the electronics together and make your own, kind of thing. I dont have the knowledge to do the electronics finding stuff myself. I appreciate your kind offer. I actually have an original lamp from Korea which used to do this and I tried taking it to two profesionals who couldnt manage to replicate this with led. So it was so interesting as a follower finding you did it in your last video.
what is the thickness of wood you used for laser cutting this lamp ??
and what speed and power to cut
I used 3mm plywood, 80% power and I cant remember the speed but I think it was like 500mm/min but maybe faster.
@@sjm4306 Thank you very much.
one more help, you have cad file of kumiko with cutting angle ? basic design
All files are uploaded to the hackaday project page linked in the video description. The laser cut patterns are all in a zip file.
which type of paper you used inside ?
does it heat up when used for continuously for long time
Just regular printer paper. The leds are low power so basically no heat.
@@sjm4306 thank you
@@sjm4306 hello...very imp is your dxf file cutting twice how how to reset
DXF files only contain vector data (basically the bare image), not toolpaths/passes/power/speed. NC files contain that info, and so the laser cutter will only accept NC and not DXF. You have to import the DXF into a cam software like lasergrbl to generate the toolpath NC file which will then allow you to specify how many passes you want. It's similar to the concepts of STL vs gcode in 3D printing.
You need diy vacum table
^This
hello ...you have solidworks file for 4 sides of lamp ?
They are on the hackaday project page linked in the video description.
@@sjm4306 i checked sir, only dxf and svg files are available on project page
I might have forgotten to attach the sldpart files, let me check my solidworks drive when I get home.
A for effort
