Week 8

Large CNC and input design

For this week, because harvard section's cnc did not arrive on time, I decided to do some design on the large format cnc and get started on input devices.

For large CNC design, I want to create a unique card game/board game battle station like the ones they use in my favorite childhood card game, Yugioh.

One of the key feature I want to added in my station is a rage quit table flipping table top for angry players to better express their rage.

Design:

I first input the rough dimensions into the cad to get a general sense of dimension and proportion.

I extruded 1/4th of the table since it will be symmetrical, I can later mirror it 2 times to get the complete design.

Complete design:

The table will sit on a rod with bearing connectors allowing it to rotate.

Layout on rhino.

Due to the delay on the CNC setup for the harvard section and me getting sick for the last 3 weeks of class, I never got a chance to fabricated the gaming table.
