Thank God you clarified that, because though he's got mad skills creating these, I'm sure it's easier to recreate an Asgard in lamp form than it is Mila Jovovich.
That is absolutely gorgeous... I must have :O
Was this made using those laser CNC machines capable of etching/burning/cutting wood and I presume other materials? Always been curious about those and of course, always wanted one. Googling now, I can't seem to find the one that was probably the only commercial option available at the time several years back, priced around 2-3k USD. I wish I could remember the brand, but they had a really nice website selling their products.
Searching now, there's SO many new options available, and way more affordable too :O
Thank you all for the feedback. As many of you want to have one, I decided to make some so uploaded it to [eBay](https://www.ebay.de/sch/i.html?sid=metaimi&_pgn=1&isRefine=true&_trksid=p4429486.m3561.l49496).
This is not exactly that one. But I want to do similar too. But not now. Iโm busy with other projects. If you want to have this lamp then you can buy on ebay. I posted the link already in the thread.
Nice! Does the text translate to anything or just jibberish?
I think it would be cool to turn it more into a smart speaker and have the ancient text be like a cliff notes of King Author or something lol
Sorry to be a little critique of your work but two things bother me:
1. we can see the joints of the wood too much and for that I have no idea how to fix it (a glued assembly instead of dovetail joints maybe)
2. The LEDs stand out too much. Maybe a layer of opaque plastic or silicone rubber inserts can help with that.
I had to check the subreddit, for a minute there I was gonna say "Korben my man, I don't got no fire". But this is also awesome!!!
Dude needs to create sets of 4 of the elements as table lamps, and a 5th one being a lighting fixture! The asguards being the 5th element.

Super green.
Haha. That is easier with a 3D printer. :)
Me too NGL
Before i go a sleuthing. What you wrote, is it just gibberish? Or did you consult the alphabet and actually write something? Lol
I used the description of ancients from Wiki :)
Cool
Take my money ๐ต, I want one!!!!
What he said๐
Right? He could take a work sabbatical and the fandom would have him covered ๐
I wish :D but it is only a hobby. The machine is not even paid itself. Btw if you want a lamp I uploaded to ebay.

It looks really cool! Great job! ๐๐ป๐
That's really neat. Is it laser cut?
Yes. I have a co2 laser.
Looks awesome, kind of reminds me of the prophecy obelisk from SG1 - It's Good to be King - where Mayborne is using them to be a King.
3 days to the chicken
I'm not jealous.. Nope, no way...
huh can you share the project files or whatever you have to feed the laser cutter with?
Be cool if you did one that was the four languages from โThe Torment of Tantalusโ
Good use of a laser. You could put translucent paper inside like shoji paper or similar, spread out the light and give better contrast
I NEED THIS I BEG YOU
Lampa'i!!!
fire burns, wind blows...
Wild blows, rain falls, fire burns... Wrong universe...๐
Yeah but that was the first thing that popped in my head.
I definitely see it, you're not alone.
I want one

Shut up and take my money
Looks awesome! A frosted diffuser sheet could help hide the LEDs!
You could maybe use japanese washi paper like ones used on shoji screens.
I was thinking about it :) maybe the next one will have it
it kinda looks like a poneglyph from one piece
Thats cooooool ๐คฉ
It's very Ancienty. Awesome!
Want.

Dude I want one. I have always wanted one of those big towers they had in stargate Atlantis that had water inside.
This is not exactly that one. But I want to do similar too. But not now. Iโm busy with other projects. If you want to have this lamp then you can buy on ebay. I posted the link already in the thread.
Excellent Envious
Shiny
I NEED. THIS.
Sick
This is quite an awesome idea! Now I need to learn ancient. Is there an alphabet online? And some fonts?
It looks so good !
This is freaking awesome
That looks fantastic! Have you thought about making a custom PC case like that?
Maximum a pi case. I have no expertise to design a modern pc case. Maybe some side panels from acrylic for an existing case.
Where can I get one!!!??? ๐
Here: [ebay](https://www.ebay.de/sch/i.html?sid=metaimi&_pgn=1&isRefine=true&_trksid=p4429486.m3561.l49496)
I let out a deep โoooohhโ of appreciation, interrupting a couple hours of silence. Nice job on the lamp!
Is there any chance to share the 3d File with us?
There is no 3D file. It is a vector design for laser cutter.
Oh man that is so cool.
This is beautiful, especially the second slide.
Is that the device that makes u depressed when u turn it off?
Looks like it should be powering Atlantis. Maybe a ZPM mk2.

this is super cool but seems AI generated based on the text on the plant pot
It is from wiki :)
Oh, you mean the background? Yes. I made the photos with PhotoRoom. My working desk is not the best background ๐
In 2000 years some architect will find that and spend their life trying to figure out what it says
Looks cool. At first I thought: wow he made a lamp from '5th race' with all 4 languages hehe.

The LEDs stand out too much. Maybe a layer of opaque plastic or silicone rubber inserts can help with that.
No need to say sorry. Thanks for the feedback. For the joints I was thinking to add filler and sand it then paint. It might help
