One of my first designs and builds from scratch is this Pendant Lamp made from 1/4" MDF. Overall, I am pleased with how it turned out but there are a couple of easy improvements. My kerf measurement was off, so it was a slightly loose fit that needed some wood glue. I thought I had read somewhere that the laser had a kerf of .001" but i found it to be .005-.007.
I also thought the design would look better if the slots were angled, so the panels would block more of the direct light.
Beautiful!
Mmmm blinding. 
Looks very cool, but it could really use some diffusion.
Very neat design!
I agree! Should have started by just slotting the side panels in at an angle.
Lovely shape! 
Very Nice!
Besides adding more panels or canting them, incorporating some frosted acrylic would serve to diffuse the light too.
I love the bare bulb look. And exploded renders are totally my thing! Great work all round!
Oh, very nice! I do think it will look great with the vintage style bulbs–those are made to be seen.
Beautiful! The pattern is great. So simple, yet interesting.
I like it. That looks really cool.
This! Stick a squirrel cage bulb in there. It’ll look awesome!
Crazy how upscale MDF can look! Nice job!
Very simple but dramatic design … can’t wait to see successive iterations. 
Beautiful Work!!! Great job!
Well done! I found my kerfs to be around .008
Gorgeous! I love the walnut, and the diagonals. 
Did you make the design? Are you gonna share??? 
That is really beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
