Midterm: MIDI Wall Shelf (WIP)

Initially for the midterm, I really wanted to build something big. I was torn between too ideas but ended up choosing the wall shelf idea because it is more useful in my apartment.

Initial Concept

Figuring out the pulley mechanics

Making a mini

First Assembly… RUH ROH

CNC Imperfections

Second Assembly… CLOSE…

Testing Pull Mechanics

Many Pancakes – but I made it…

Full Assembly

Let’s do it!

Or not… CNC time is a precious commodity these past few days. On top of that, winter storms can be really stressful for the last minute folks like myself. T.T

Bottom of Shelf

Top of Shelf

Ends of Shelf

Back of Shelf – Wall Mounted

YOU & I WILL ALWAYS BE UNFINISHED BUSINESS.

To be continued…

What’s Next

To me, this project has a bit further to go. However, though I can see all the tiny flaws myself (craftman’s curse?), I want to do a better job decided which flaws matter to a user and which don’t. CNC can take whole lot of repetition… and I can see myself printing this quite a few times.
