mechanical design
I worked to edit my final project for Fab Academy. I will be working to modify a suitcase to fit a 3 axis cnc with an approximate bed size of 9" x 12". This week i worked with the frame of the CNC and made a couple attempts at creating a solid structure that cn fold down and away with the closing of the suitcase.
The flaps that drop down to stabalize the overhead portion of the frame to the back side is where i will be testing the first joints. The idea is to use a snap joint that is both a snug fit and extended so that it can be easily removed and collapsed.
