Fog Catcher

 

Fogcatcher Design

 

To design my fogcatcher, I used Autodesk Fusion 360, taking advantage of the licence agreeement that has FabAcademy with Autodesk

 

 

I placed the screenshots in a sequence to display how can the fogcatcher be assemby.

 

 

All unions are done with the pressfit technique.

 

 

 

This process can be done only by one person, but is better if two.

 

 

 

This additional parts of the structure were designed to give stability.

 

 

The fogcatcher already assembled.

 

 

Making the fogcatcher

 

Making the fogcatcher with the Shopbot machine, following the learnings already acquired, from Big Thing assignment.

 

Fog Catch Assemby

 

My first test to assemby the fogcatcher

 

 

I need to daub the pieces with marine varnish to make it impermeable

 

A colector pipe had to be instaled to store the water collected.

 

 

Finally, the mesh is instaled, using some hooks that I cutted in the Shopbot as well.
