My project is a Digitally fabricated bed for kids. The idea is to bulid beds for kids using digital fabrications techniques and to be easy to fabricate and assemble with low price. The bed will be look like an airplane, since it is specially desiged for my niece that has a love for flying.
Companies for childern furniture
Material | Cost |
---|---|
3 MDF sheets - (16)mm | 450 EGP |
Wood glue | 5 EGP |
Wood paper stickers | 100 EGP |
Plywood sheet - (30 * 50)mm^2 | 10 EGP |
Cotton fabric | 9 EGP |
Eboxy | 130 EGP |
Disposable painting brush | 6 EGP |
Diamond smooth shank nails - (25)mm | 5 EGP |
Ball bearing - 6203z | 25 EGP |
The total cost = 740 EGP = 68$
The bed's shell and propeller are designed using Solidworks and will be made from the MDF sheets and cut by CNC milling machine.
The mounted is designed using Solidworks and will be made from PLA using 3D printer. The ball bearing will be mounted inside it, and the propeller will be mounted from outside
The cone is designed using Solidworks and will be made from plywood and cut by the Laser cutter machine.
The shell's parts will be fixed using press fitting technique with help of wood glue and some diamond smooth shank nails, and the covering will be made using wood paper stickers.
The RGB PCBs boards are designed using Eagle to add light effects to the bed, and will be milled using Roland MDX-20 Modela.
The cotton fabric and eboxy will be used to cover and produce a fiber composite to the nose cone.
I have already fabricated the shell and the nose cone, and I am working on the other tasks.
The question is: will the kids like the bed after it is done ?
