Hive Lantern Laser Cut File Sci-Fi & Fantasy

Information

      Light up the darkness with this beautifully hand-drawn laser cut lantern. Each piece is carefully designed for a perfect fit, made from 3 mm plywood, and stands around 40 cm tall.
The lantern can be displayed in two ways – hanging from the built-in loop or standing on its elegant base (included).
Comes with a complete assembly video for a smooth and enjoyable build. A cozy, magical accent for any home!
If you love the dark, bio-mechanical aesthetics of 80s sci-fi cinema, this lantern is the ultimate weekend project. Designed with intricate, skeletal ribbing and organic curves, it looks less like a wooden lamp and more like an artifact recovered from a derelict spaceship or a distant moon.
Whether you are setting the mood for a movie marathon, building terrain for a sci-fi TTRPG, or just want a conversation piece for your collection shelf, this lantern delivers that eerie, cinematic glow.
Maker Notes:
I designed this specifically for laser cutting enthusiasts who appreciate detailed props. The files are optimized to cut cleanly with minimal charring on the details.
• Visuals: When backlit with an LED, the "ribcage" structure casts long, dramatic shadows—perfect for photography or setting a spooky ambiance.
• Material: Optimized for 3mm plywood (works great with Baltic Birch or Basswood).
