Glass Light Stand

     The cube glass decoration are beautiful to look at. The cost of a 3 Dimensional Picture Cube has gone down and can now be seen in generals stores and even dollar stores. But the light stand is still expensive. This Instructable will show you how to build one for your own picture cubes for $10. I used" AutoDesk Inventor Fusion" to design the glass stand before I actually built it. you can find this drawing at 123D gallery.

Please vote, there are no local object printing services in my area. I have not heard of any trusted online sources so my projects have been build with cardboard and/or clay.
