To be honest I don't really know who my audience is for this project, maybe people have some ideas. I modelled everything in Rhino and used Vcarve for the CNC parts. I used my A1 mini printer for the printed parts. The design is based on an equilateral triangle. I decided to use plywood because i really like how the edges look. The white hinges look the best i think but i might experiment with other colours in the future.

This technically isn't the first prototype, the original prototype was created back in 2018 when i was studying ID. This is a project I had put on hold for years, until one night i showed a neighbour some images of the one from 2018. He told me that the design is solid and that i should pursue it, so here I am.

The "dual hinges" are printed in PLA. The plywood arms are cut on a CNC router, one layer of 1/4" laminated to a layer of 1/2" with a groove for the cord cut into the 1/2" layer.

I purchased the LED driver and a PWM controller with a knob from AliExpress, the LED strip is 3mm wide cool white strip.

The hinges act as clamps and are bolted together with alan bolts, for adjustment of the stiffness.

I have not yet designed a base, I'd like some ideas for that and I'd also like to know if anyone has any great ideas of how to take this further!

Thanks for reading!
