Paste the 1/8 mm outline of the wood on illustrator. Hold down SHIFT when making the pieces bigger or smaller so they stay to scale. Make the circle the measurement you wrote down on the cardboard.

Laser print 2 circles that will be the top and bottom of the lamp and 8 legs that will fit in the slots of the lamp. Make sure to tape the sides of the wood so the laser cuts through.

Each leg will fit into the slots of the bases. Insert a leg to the top and bottom of the two circles skipping one slot in between legs. However, to make sure that the slots do not move or come out over time, hot glue the bottom and top.

this box does not have a front, or back. My sides are 18 by 22 and the top 18 by 18.

This will allow people to see through and also make the wood lighter since 1/4 is heavy.

Glue the servo to the bottom so that the lamp moves. The glue is needed for the support

This will allow you to take of the lamp when needed.

use wood glue to glue the four sides of the box together

Loop two piece of yarn through the left over slots of the lamp and tie that to the top as seen in picture. Hot glue the yarn so it stays

I used a file found online for my rocket but you can design your own

this will let you loop the yarn through the whole. Pull until it is tight, so until the lamp is connected to the servo. Glue the top of the box and yarn together so it stays.

This is so the globe can fit on top of the wood piece and be big. This is optional
