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 s
