The pieces fit together with a slot-and-key design so that no hardware is necessary to assemble the shade. The light bulb is surrounded by a custom designed diffuser 3D printed out of glow-in-the-dark PLA, so that it continues to glow softly through the star cutouts after the light is switched off. All pieces modeled in Rhino and Illustrator. The original process description of this project is on my github. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/583ba6b3b8a79b774fbe9c44/1605593957823-QOAZJJBRS0EITK26GCDX/IMG_0018.jpg human centered design & engineering https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/583ba6b3b8a79b774fbe9c44/1608611983526-HL00OWYFMMENJWL9CEQ4/Photo+Dec+07%2C+22+08+18+%281%29.jpg human centered design & engineering https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/583ba6b3b8a79b774fbe9c44/1608613046378-ZEP9DSI980DWD8AT3GZF/haptic_beanbag_materials.jpg human centered design & engineering https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/583ba6b3b8a79b774fbe9c44/1564450004083-3ISLP2KQ6EKNIEJYAP4Q/Photo+Jun+25%2C+12+32+57.jpg human centered design & engineering -
