OK blogging time. I haven't added anything since the plan presentation. Since then I have changed a few things to the design, originally I had planned on building a steel frame to house and support the lights and the pendulum but it had to be near perfect to work properly and not be off kilter. This is the frame I drew in solidworks. I wanted a minimalist frame that provided a lot of negative space. I wanted it to work with the light and pendulum and support the design without overpowering anything.
I decided the easiest way to make the frame was to use illustrator and have it laser cut. I used 4 layers of 6 mm MDF. I would have liked to use a better wood but, it was cheap, flat and I planned on painting it anyway..
Here is the disk I had laser cut to house the lights
here are the parts all cut out. Ive hollowed out a groove for the positive wire. I started painting, sanding and glueing it together.
I then Painted them and fixed them together and sanded them down
Frame all bolted and fixed together
