About this 3D model

Last summer, I came up with a tensioned hinge mechanism to hold wooden dowels in place when they're rotated. I never made use of the idea until coming up with the design for the Akari desk light (akari meaning shining light source in Japanese). With the hinge being able to hold its position, the akari desk light folds flat while being very lightweight. The light uses minimal materials with some 3D printed parts to hold it all together. A 12v led strip is encased in a rolled up tube of diffusing sheet taken from a recycled computer monitor. Seds operate on low current, I used magnet wire for the wiring to reduce bulk.
