EKOFLEX Furniture Construction Game (scale 1/5) : Kit B

TheFrenchFactory — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 14:20:56 GMT

BECOME A FURNITURE DESIGNER OF THE 21 CENTURY ! The first idea was to develop a modular furniture/shelter construction concept using a small number of CNC flat pack components : 1 - A product easily machinable based on repetition and recycling of a standard basic module (design iterations pre-conceived). 2 - Requirement for maximum flexibility and adaptation of the product according to various scenarios (4 chairs can be recycled for a table or recycled for 2 chairs or bench, recycled for an interior wall ....). 3 - Product cost relatively low for cnc manufacturing with standard materials (wood panels). 4 - Scale 1/1 (real world models only!) The possibility of the dealer/manufacturer to easily adapt the models to customer demand. One screw or four screws hold down/clamp the two boards. YOU NEED KIT A+B TO START TO CREATE. KIT C WILL COME NEXT WEEK FOR MORE POSSIBILITIES. To sell it to your customers as a CNC owner , contact me.

Frontend loader toy 6.4mm P3

jmengel — Tue, 28 Dec 2010 20:13:13 GMT

Articulated front end loader design with actuating 6-bar bucket tilt mechanism. Assembly requires short lengths of dowel, wood glue, and patience as this is a complex model. Front end loader scaled for 1/4" (6.4mm) baltic birch plywood. You can try cutting with Ponoko on their 6.4mm MDF but I cannot vouch for the fit. Best bet is to buy the plans and supply your own baltic birch plywood. See my plans for 1/8" (3.2mm) baltic birch if you want a smaller toy. The 1/8" (3.2mm) design results in a roughly 10" long by 4" wide by 5" tall toy. the 1/4" (6.4mm) design results in essentially double that in all dimensions, or 20"x8x"10". 1/8" version requires about 12" of 5/16" poplar dowel (available at Home Depot or similar) and about 16" of 3/16" poplar dowel. 1/4" version requires about 24" of 5/8" poplar dowel (available at Home Depot or similar) and about 32" of 3/8" poplar dowel.

Front end loader scaled for 1/8" (3.2mm) baltic birch plywood. You can try cutting with Ponoko on their 3mm hardboard but I cannot vouch for the fit.
