The light softly glowing from the laser cut pattern on its face, and cast from the open back can either gently light your way in the dark, or add a warm ambiance to any room.
Open a new design in Tinkercad and drag a box shape onto the workplane. With the box selected, grab one of the handles on the corner and stretch out the box to a rectangle shape. I kept the measurements simple at 100mm x 200mm.
I changed the height to 4mm. When we export this file as a vector SVG the program will only export what ever is touching the workplane. Under the library dropdown on the right side of the screen I selected Shape Generators and chose All. There's a shape called metacrib which has a square oscillation that we can edit, perfect for the finger joints on the sides of this lantern. Drag a metacrib onto the workplane.
With the metacrib selected an option box appears that allows us to modify the parameter of the shape. THe bottom slider is repeat, which defines how many nodes there will be.
The top two sliders are width and space, which determine the width of the nodes and the space between them. Since we want these fingers to interlock these value need to be the same. I chose 15 for each.
This produces a long finger joint that can be placed on one edge of the lantern side.
