USB Powered Articulating Lamp
I designed this lamp as part of my senior thesis exhibition at Alfred University. It is a small-scale version of a classic articulating desk lamp - powered by a standard USB port.
The lamp can be plugged directly into a laptop to act as a keyboard light or it can be placed in a base and powered via a USB extension cable.
The 36 individual parts that make up the lamp are laser-cut from 1/8 inch masonite. I designed the parts to be layered and glued together to form three-dimensional components that could then be screwed and pinned together to create a fully functioning articulating lamp.

DownloadsI am providing both the vector patterns (for use with a laser engraving system) and the instructions for the Some Assembly Required kits.
If you would like to try building the lamp yourself, you'll need the vector patterns below and you can follow my step-by-step guide over at instructables.com. The downloads are free, but please consider making a quick, secure donation if you appreciate my work. 
note: you will need Adobe Illustrator in order to open and edit the vector patterns above
