After a series of mock ups, we made several design changes before constructing our final prototype. Initially, our joint was about half the length and used a different assembly procedure, but we learned that a longer profi le was more flexible and a larger hole would be required to rotate the pieces within each other. Warmup - Snap-fi t Joint Two prong snap ensured a snug fit.4.510 - Digital Design Fabrication Assignment #5 Cut Sheets: Top and side interior joints Top and bottom coner joints Center interior joint Bottom interior joint No feet Feet 6 pieces 2 pieces 4 pieces 2 pieces 6 pieces 2 pieces 4 pieces 2 pieces Scale 1:2A Scale 1:A4.510 - Digital Design Fabrication Assignment #5 Wall Joint Conditions: Joint becomes plug at top corner No feet needed for side and top connections Feet at base Two tabs to prevent shear Design based on Assembly Requirements: Gap to fit snap-fit heads Narrow neck for rotation Thin enclosure for bending Enclsoure tabs to hold in place4.510 - Digital Design Fabrication Assignment #54.510 - Digital Design Fabrication Assignment #5 Final Design Joint
