weekend work

I received the misumi order Thursday of all that beautiful extruded beam, and promptly set about procrastinating while I was deciding how to build the box itself.


So I cut up 4 beams into a set of  various lengths and set about building a frame.

I realized once I had a basic setup that the linear path was going to drive any freshly printed model right into the lens.

I then decided to try the mirror method.

Following the guide on calculating mirror distance I came up with a number for my height.

Cut some mirror

and spent some time re-arranging my beams to get various configurations looking for the right height/width combos with my now cut beams.
