Houses Going Pop

28/10/2016

0 Comments

 
Here's a project I have been working on for a few days now. This is a house built from easy-to-assemble polystyrene blocks and wood panels. The idea came from a French company who also make these Pop-Up houses.
My client contacted these guys but it seemed they were busy so he then turned to me instead.
This was a rather fun project to work on. Now let's see whether it actually makes it into real life or not.

Also, here's a picture of a candle:

Trike Day, Not Today

Last Tuesday we went to Norway to try out some tricycles. There were tricycles with electromotors and regular recumbent bikes. We tried out all sorts but the red one in the photos was my favorite.

Apartment Upgrade - Blog Six

7/10/2016

Here is another prototype fresh from the VITRIOL 3D R&D department. The lamp I designed in my original concepts has been realized with some measure of questionable success.

I started in trueSpace more or less the same way as I did the furniture.

I bought the screws and lamps needed. Next it was off to Karlstad Makerspace to craft the final components.
Picture
Fun fact: This machine is also used for milling circuit boards. It's very precise.
When the machine was finished I went home and painted it quickly in the evening because the very next day I went back to Karlstad and assembled it at a new initiative called a "crAfter Work".
Essentially it's a get-together for people who like to craft things of any and all descriptions.

After that the prototype was finished and ready to be tested in my apartment. Mounting is still an issue but has several solutions already.

...and there you have it. This was a fun project for sure but there are a couple of modifications I'm going to make.  For one, I'd like it to be brighter so I'll probably end up mounting two lamps instead of one.
I also have some space left below the small LED lamps so I could probably reduce how tall it is as well. Perhaps arrange the lamps slightly differently so I can make it even smaller.

The paper is another issue, it was surprisingly hard to find a paper that let through enough light, was big enough and didn't cost a fortune. Especially coloured paper since for this prototype I had hoped to go for a purple or red colour rather than the pure white. Just for funky experimentation's sake.
Another issue with the paper was how annoyingly hard it was to mount in the grooves. Only bottom grooves for the final version.

Maybe I'll switch to using thin cloth instead of paper. More experimentation is needed there.

Obviously for the final results I will be using less obvious screws, or just simply paint over them.
