In most of the examples for the Architectonic Lamp project, a shape was used to create the lattice structure. I wanted to use multiple forms to create something more active and engaging.
To create the model I drew separate outline curves for the two different layers. I then revolved them, and took a single section slice which I then used the polar array to equidistance my slates around the form. I repeated this concept with the other shape. I then found the innermost points of each object and inserted circular planes to hold the outer shapes together, careful to leave ample room for a spherical lightbulb.
After using the CutMyRibs script to create my slots, there were a lot of overhangs, to simplify the clean-up process, I simply corrected a single outline of each form and then duplicated each 7 times to get my outer shapes.

I tried to save material and time by printing both my box and lamp on the same sheet.
