Construction
Mock-up: Initial Construction Piece
Changes need to make to Mock-up:
- Change to Polystyrene sheets that can be easily modified
- Bigger box
- Need to see how it functions with a heat lamp
- build lamp holder with wood rather than metal

Final Construction Piece:
Materials used:
CNC is used to cut polystyrene sheets
Laser cutter used to create lamp holder
Laser cutter used to create lamp holder
Part 1: Testing Materials - try to keep each material around 1 ft by 1 ft - tiles bought at Home Depot - materials are placed at the bottom of the box |
