repurposed cardboard thread rack

thingiverse

I created this design in the IMA* Fabrication Lab of NYU Shanghai, to organize the sewing threads we have in the Soft Lab, but I wanted it to be inexpensive. In order to do that, I am using re purposed material that we got from equipment packages. *IMA: Interactive Media Arts Program Photos by Kevin Bin Ni How I Designed This I designed this using Rhino and then I cut the pieces in an Epilog laser cutter. The cardboard I used it is around 5~6mm thick. The joints are thigh so I didn't have to use glue between them. The settings for the laser cutter were: Speed: 80 Power: 50 Frequency: 500 But I had to do it twice because it didn't cut the first time.
