Overview

Overview

• Overview product of the project, we create a structure to held everything together and keep it industrial and professional look with the use of aluminium profile.

• We also include a drawer style to accommodate the electrical component, underneath the project.

• Drawer being drawn out, it gives a very clean slate look on the overall project. Integrating mechanical and electrical component under a project. 

Modification

• The initial board design was not very durable as the angle which would cause the plastic material to wear hence it will make create a plastic deformation, will lose it power.

• This improved version is much more durable as spring was included, there is no way the board will lose it strength.

2nd improvement

•   The item was the pipe holder, as the overall item is very weak and i require a tight fit on it.

Improved version;

•  As tight fitting require which would done by press fitting on the hole itself, which would give a stable hold on the pipe.

Design aspect

• We was inspired by the vibraphone instrument, which have pipes involve. We uses the ball which would hit on the plates and produces tone.

• Ideation we use see saw mechanism incorporate with cam and follower, Idea was to strike the wooden ball upwards and hit the aluminium plates to produce a certain tone.

• The pipe which the ball has to travel, and hit onto the plates itself. Total there are 6 of the pipes, which are different in length and plate. 6 pipe which would make 6 different tones.

Week 14: Testing 1...2...3

-        Testing and rewiring. 

Mounting solution (Bracket)

We initially having trouble to held our project together,  first we use a standard L bracket mounting which would disrupt our electrical wiring and LED strip, so we came out of a solution which will tackle such issue.

We use a flat plate mount, which would held our profile together neatly and it also give an impressive aesthetic look towards it.

A flat plate bracket to secure the profile together.

Week 13: Touching up

-        Finding problems due to some connection error
