<p>I wanted to make something inspiring to my sister's kids for this Christmas so I decided I will build a light tent for them.</p><p>The design contains the following elements: </p><p>- corner thicker with 4mm holes.stl: 3 directional corner</p><p>- end thicker with 4mm holes.stl: end element (optionally for lamp poles - also works as a drill template)</p><p>- lamp mount*.stl: two different lamp mounts</p><p>- saw guide 2.stl: guiding rail for motorized jig saw to cut the rods in perfectly peripendicular direction (tested with a Black & Decker jig saw)<br></p><p>In order to build the light tent you will need rods with 15 mm diameter (I found cheap & nice 15x1 mm aluminium rods in the local DIY stores). To build a complete light tent cube print 8 corner elements - print 2 more if you want to build the lamp poles.</p><p>It's not necessary drill the rods and fix the parts with nuts & bolts but if you would like to do so drill 4 mm diameter holes on the rods and use M4 nuts and bolts.</p><p>For seamless background use IKEA's Tupplur block-out rollers ( <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/search/?query=tupplur">http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/search/?query=tupplur</a> ) or simply attach an A3+ sized piece of paper to the light tent frame by using a binder clip.</p>
