| trying to figure out a way to cut this shape so it could be vac-formed. this means i need to find a way to half it so i can lay down the halves and have no undercuts. the shape needs some modification to make this possible. im not going to worry about this too much as this shape will likely change anyway before i need to start building it. |

| template for on of the curved sides. i modelled the shape in rhino and unrolled the surfaces. this was to try making it from sheet materials. i also thought it would be easy enough to make it from sheet wax and then lost wax it into pewter. |

| started stripping down the camera i found in the skip. pretty simple inside. the power switch, shutter release, flash, battery box and mode dial could all be easily relocated with longer wires as they are all off the main circuit board. i have already determined the distance the kern-paillard lens needs to be from the sensor to make the markings on the lens accurate. this is essential as i cant see any way other than the lcd to see if the camera is in focus. i think i want to leave out the lcd. luckily the lens has a nice depth of field indication. |
