DIY Lasercut

This is the finial idea for the diy prototype. 

We made hand sketches, after that our idea is good enough we will make a CAD design and proceed to make the lasercutdrawings.

Plate:

The main idea is still the same. There is a back plate and a bottom plate. Made out of 4mm multiplex wood. These two pieces will slide into each other by a shape connection.

To support the who pieces there will be two side triangular shaped pieces. 

These triangular shapes will be connected to the back and bottom plate via snap-connections.

These connections however are on the back and bottom plate itself so there is no direct stress for the weight on to them. 

On the back plate there are cross cut-outs. these crosses have a larger square cut-out in the center. 

To attach the tools we make use of a U connection with thicker end on the arms of the U. these U shapes fit in the cross center and can by sliding to any of the four directions so it is stuck.

On one of the U shapes there will be a loop with elastic fabric. 

And the other side of the tool there also will be a U shape but the elastic fabric will be sandwiched between the U shape and the back plate. This way On side can be removed to take of the tool.

The functionality between the plates also remain the same. we will use Conner pieces on the back to slide them into each other.

On the top there will also be mirrored connections and on the front side there will be leather fabric with hollow rivets. The Leather fabric will be on the top side of the plate.

Handle:

We made the handle a lot smaller than the previous model. the holes will be asymmetrical. so the plates can be closer to each other. 

In the center there is a reinforcement bar to make sure the handle his strong enough.

To be able to attach the plates we make a sliding bar with holes so the cornerpieces on the back of the plates can be fitted into these.
