Step 3: CD Assembly
Start by putting 3 or 4 cds between the two laser cut pieces.
The joints have a 1Mm. width, so the cd's fit by pressure.
Step 4: Socket
Add the light bulb socket.
We considered a 30.5 MM. diameter socket, so it can be placed also press-fit mode.*
You can customize this circle diameter in the DXF file, according to the socket you find.
Step 5: Wiring
Connect the wire with the socket and the electric plug.

Add your light bulb.
We used an RGB light bulb that can be controlled with an IR remote control.
