OCTABLE (coffee table or bedside table)

cults3d

Take an octahedron, a table. Shake well and you get an octable. The octable is a coffee table (or bedside table of your choice) whose frame is a regular octahedral skeleton. To build this framework you will need: 1) Buy 4 beech trunnions 1 m long and 8 mm in diameter to obtain 12 rods 33 cm long. Plan a Japanese saw or an engine, it's up to you. 2) Buy a bag of clips (PVC) 15 mm in diameter on sale in the plumbing department of any respected Bricobidule store. 3) Print the six corners of the octahedron. 4) Print the sleeves (three or six per tray), sliding onto the rods. 5) Push the 12 rods into the six corners to build the table frame. First, thread the sleeves onto the rods to support the trays. 6) Make an upper tray to your liking - plywood, plexiglass, or circular for example - and possibly a lower tray. The clips will be screwed (or glued) to the trays. 7) Clip the trays onto the sleeves: your octable is finished!
