Introduction: Lamp Shade
I saw this lamp on http://fablab.waag.org/project/lamp-birch.
It had no files attached and no setting for the laser cutter.
I remade the lamp birch in illustrator and gave it my personal touch

Step 2: Assemble
When the laser cutter was finished I had to assemble the lamp shade.
First problem I had was the long parts of the shade were fitting exactly in the holes but fell out every time. So I had to glue them to make sure they didn't fall out.
