Raw Hide Lantern Frame
by spindle_dev, published
Description
This is the frame and candlelift for a raw hide lantern used by LARPers and Reenactors. Intended material is wood.
The included OpenSCAD script allows for parametrized construction of the necessary parts, just change the constants in the top part to your liking.
This instance is 25cm high and 20cm wide, and intended for the standard european tea light candle.
I will modify this thing after seein how well it works in practice, most probably with some nice handle for the candle lift. You might want to add a handle to the top part so that you can carry or hang the lamp.
