botte mote

thingiverse

Botte mote is based on a mechanism made out of digitally cut 3mm dmf and small size standard recycled plastic bottles. It can be used to generate collapsible objects. The files uploaded allow the construction of protable tables in various sizes and configurations. It has been designed to be used as an urban plug in to personalize, customize or appropriate urban space. It could be used, as well, in many other circumstances. The project has been developed in a cooperative process by a team composed by Isabel González, Lucas López and Javier Yela with tutors Areti Nikolopoulou and Jose Perez de Lama, and with the collaboration of Susana Velasco, at \\"The commons factory :: plug ins at santa ana\\" workshop, taking place october 18-25th 2010 at Absolut Lab [Fab Lab], Madrid, Spain Instructions Digital files are to be cut in a laser cutter in 3mm 810 x 600 mm dmf sheets. They could be cut in 3 mm plywood too. Joints in the files consider the material lost by the laser cut [Epilog Legend Ext 36x24 50 watts]. They should be tested to check if it works in the same way with the laser cutter you might be using. Plastic bottles [small size] have to be assembled in couples joining their bottom parts with \"bridas\", and fixing them to the dmf parts screwing the bottle cups. The structures [see images], in the proposed designs are assembled in scissor like configurations, allowing for the collapsibility of the pieces. Rhino and dxf files are cutting files. [We will be uploading assembly drawings in the next days]
