 **First** I went looking for a trapezoid box maker. Turns out, there is none that I could find. [Here is an otherwise impressive list of joint and box scripts, which I came across.](https://wiki.realraum.at/lasercutter:anleitungen_und_materialdaten#software_und_tools)

 I went to images.google.com and started browsed for creative commons or copyright free SVGs and designs. Most links went to etsy or Pinterest. That sucked.
   
-After quickly being fed up seeing price tags for simple SVGs, I decided to try my hand at drawing. Due to time constraints and out of concerns for stability I opted for thicker connections and larger windows instead of many fine patterns. Turns out, even a noob with the r3 Wacom tablet like me, can still manage to get workable results within an hour. Workable as proof of concept, anyway and not at all geeky. (My first attempt with drawing gears failed miserably) Our resident art critic found the result to be to “eso”-inspired for his liking. The direct view onto the lamp allowed by the bigger windows also turned out to be uncomfortable, so I had to glue in some backing paper as diffuser.

 **Third** is the light source. The original idea was, to make enough space so we can put in any (battery powered) light that we might have at hand. I decided to deviate the prototype a bit by re-using the IR-handwave-controlled-light of an old broken Mathmos lamp of mine. All the modifcation that was needed is a cut-out circle at the bottom and the top for the sensor.

   * Wood is great for in-tent/in-doors but requires treatment for outdoor use. At that point we might consider cutting some lamps from Acrylic rather than treating the wood with laminating foil or lacquer.
   * Big holed patterns make less impressive light patterns even though they allow for more stable sides.
   * Big holed patterns require a diffuser like baking paper that needs to be glued on.
-  * Don&#8217;t just copy&paste side panels, remember that joints need to fit together.
+  * Don’t just copy&paste side panels, remember that joints need to fit together.
   * Two side panels needs to be less wide by $materialthickness if one wants a quadratic bottom and top.
   * Finger-joints are a bad choice for quick and glue-less assembly. Examples for designs that might not require glue: [[1]](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3362978), [[2]](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2755535)
