LEARN: 3d Modeled Angel’s Trumpet Flower Lamp Shade in Fusion360
Angel’s Trumpet flowers: fragrant, delicate, beautiful and ephemeral. They bloom year-round and last only a few days on the vine, and once picked they wilt within minutes. They’re one of my favorite flowers, but are too fragile and fleeting to be used in my flower arrangements.
This guide will detail the steps in 3d modeling an eternally-blooming Angel’s Trumpet flower to be displayed indoors. We’ve even enhanced its beauty by turning it into a beautiful pendant lamp shade for an LED light bulb.
Each flower that blooms on the vine is different, so we’ve used Fusion360’s sculpting tools to create a unique and organic flower that’s reminiscent of the real thing.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
