- Assignment:
- I have made a laptop/tablet holder from scratch in Inkscape using the node editor tool(
) - The tests went really well so I've actually a holder from the test!
- Video about the test holder:
- The holder made for my new MacBook 2008. It's got (almost) the same dimensions as my old laptop, so I'm going to test that one with the fiberglass mockup.
- Here are some images of my very first design:
- Dana Schwimmer's laptop on the holder after cutting the holder in MDF in the ShopBot (without fiberglass):
- [UPDATE] The holder before FiberGlass:
