Prototype to Finished Project

After making my cardboard box prototype, I gained a better idea on the exact measurements needed  for my actual box. Therefore, I decided to draw an Orthographic diagram which included my measurements.

This drawing is not to scale. Moreover, it has been drawn on 2mm squared paper - therefore each square is equal to 0.5cm.

Using these measurements I began to prepare my box:

The wooden box I had ordered off Amazon was unfinished and therefore was quite rough. Therefore,  I sanded it s using 40g/m^2 sand paper. 

Next I created the line for my keypad to slot through. Using a power drill, I created a straight 7.5cm line of 2mm holes which became a line using a number of other tools. Using a 4mm drill bit, I drilled two holes for my LED's to fit through on my lid and a 15mm hole on the side for my power cable. On my orthographic drawing this hole is displayed on the font of the box however, after some thinking I decided that it would be better suited on the side like my prototyped design.

I then painted my box using black acrylic paint to give a security vault look as these tend to be black and fits with the theme of a phone being looked away as punishment.

My box dried and leaving me with a professional final result

Adding the electronics

I moved the electronics from my prototype box into my finished box which worked really well.

When plugged in, my box locks and unlocks using the set password as expected.
