The Core

My new joining system which seems to work pretty well, but i will have to create a new mock up to test it fully, it will add much more strength not that it particuarly needs any more, but this may be the only joining system I can get to work by Friday.

Testing 3D max scenes

Setting up a scene for my final concept poster

Fail!

Another failed joining system...

Totem

Finalising in Cardboard...

Putting the finishing touches on my flat pattern before I touch the Xanita because I didn't have my flat pattern 100% and had some things i wanted to refine a little further such as - the seat was a little small and the seat was also a little weak in the middle, changing the scale allowed me to resolve both of these issues. The joining method is still sketchy, so I am just about to attempt something a little different.

Basic Tech Drawing

The basic flat pattern - note joining details absent at the moment.. I was trying to squeeze 2 of my stools onto the one 1200 x 1800 Xanita board, but I would have to reduce my seat size which is already small, so may not be able to do that...

The Joy of Joining

My latest locking/joining/fastening system, this design still leaves a few weak spots which will need to be resolved but it is a step up from sticky tape... actually a step down, but sticky tape is disallowed.. so a step up!
