For this assignment we decided to design and manufacture a machine with which you can document with photographs, record videos either with a professional camera, cell phone or tablet. It will be possible to achieve slow motion videos, a product photo and to be able to document a process such as 3D printing.

My contribution to this task: I designed and modeled in Rhino software as first ideas was the corrugated cardboard base shell with 4 mm thick double layer corrugated cardboard exteriors and the inner shell for the base of the position arm that will support the cell phone or camera.

Later, in collaboration with FABLAB Queretaro, the acrylic box and the mdf base were designed to place the motor, the power source, the electronic card and all the cables for the connections. This design was chosen due to the weight of the components and the stability that the cell phone required when making the movement and turning.

Laser cut in 9 mm mdf with a power of 90% and a speed of 6%

Armed and assembled with the acrylic box
