Use a band saw to cut your 10 cd's in half pieces.

Download this DXF file, and laser Cut these two pieces using 4 or 5 Mm MDF, Plywood or Plexiglass.*

Start by putting 3 or 4 cds between the two laser cut pieces.

The joints have a 1Mm. width, so the cd's fit by pressure.

Add the light bulb socket.

We considered a 30.5 MM. diameter socket, so it can be placed also press-fit mode.*

You can customize this circle diameter in the DXF file, according to the socket you find.

Connect the wire with the socket and the electric plug.

Add your light bulb.

We used an RGB light bulb that can be controlled with an IR remote control.

And now you are ready to enjoy!

Hang your lamp and enjoy !
