Case design

Initial casing is meant to be made of a recyclable vegetable oil based plastic. Also, the idea of a modular design gave us even more sustainable materials to look at – pressed used clothes in resin, cans recycled pressed aluminium and even resin-ed wood saw.

Here are elements we have been working with so far and slowly shaping the final design and certain materials together.

On our Github page you can look into the print files too.

Chronological pictures and phases of the development, with the newest developments on the top. Below is shown a latest construction of a casing, with all the elements fitting in. This prototype is consisting of 4 cover units and 7 lower units inclusive the hinge. All construction elements are stitched using small orange plastic pegs.
