OSB lamp
-
Actually, if I had bothered to click on the link Cotty provided I would have seen that the original used black rubber cords
not nearly as attractive as Cotty's variation
And Jeff's clever idea would probably work. -
I didn't mention that I like the lamp a lot, very nice.
It was early in the morning here, bloody hot, which I'm not used to any more and so hadn't slept well, I wasn't thinking straight.
I was honestly dumbfounded by what I thought was hellnbak managing to make his amazing models without knowing how to do a multi array, D'oh. I totally missed the point.
So give mine the flick and do a nice making of yourself. -
I've added a link to the page with the download button ("Herunterladen") to the first post.

Just a quick question if I may, on that example, what is the process after using the follow me on the 'leg' to getting the 6 wires?
Nice lamp by the way!

see this post:
http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=543947#p543947(and notice in box's example in this thread, there's a bit of Z-fighting on the leg.. he has the leg as a component but there's also a single face outside of the component which is what's actually being swept.. in a manner similar to what's shown in the link)
-
Well spotted there Jeffrey, I opened the leg component and copied the face then closed it and paste in place. Since the edge of the face was one wielded edge it was one click and delete to remove the excess after the follow me.

A variation on your model
Tried it with a lampshade but it just didn't seem to work
yeah, I'm bored

Very nice work!
One question - how do you get all those rings thru the legs?
i think it's actually do-able.
the rings would be split at one point around the circumference.
bend them open a bit..
slide all the legs on the rings.
put the horizontal piece in the leg slots..
spin the legs around the circle into position..
the ring seam is hidden inside one of the legs.
looks good @carsten.. really liking the osb texturing
Or, the holes in the legs do not go all the way through, and the rings are actually individual curved rods between the legs. Given how thick the legs are, and how tight the holes are, it might be hard to slide the legs around the rings.
Nice model and rendering, Cotty. I think your design looks better than the original.

But wouldn't assembly of all those parts be very difficult?
The legs would have to be fastened to the base first, and, as you said, they are very thick, so there would be no flexing them to install the rods. -
The tricky part would be the last leg and the rings on either side of it. but it could probably be done by a dexterous person with practice. Hell, there is probably a machine that can do it.

In some years, we will use a 4 components 3D printer (wood, rings, bulb, cables) to create things like this in one go
