Hello everyone. I have to apologize, that I haven’t been able to update my blog for quite some time now. Some private matters got in the way as well as my work consumed most of my time lately so I couldn’t be bothered to continue the work on the cube.
Nevertheless I recently continued my work on the cube finishing all the planes. They are now ready to enter the final construction phase but before that will happen I need something the lattice will stand on. A baseplate.
Perfect material to work with is particle board (German: Pressspan) from an old cupboard. Cut to a square of 30,5 cm² it’s big enough to hold the lattice (which has an edge length of 24,5 cm).
As you can see on some of the images below, there are 64 pairs of holes. Each pair has a hole that is drilled all the way to the bottom. That hole is used for the wiring. The other hole is only drilled halfway through. It will be used to hold and stabilize the lattice on the baseplate.
After all the holes were drilled, the baseplate was grinded and then spraypainted with black paint to give it a nicer and darker look.
