Based on the first parametric GC model, I redesigned the support frame for better fit and higher geometrical control when all parts are joined. The frame has three distinct parts, which are tripled for the three “corners”. Two components are crossed fro side stability, and each corner-point has single planar post. The GC model is updated with the new scheme, so far the conrer post is modeled as a solid. Next step will be to set up the crossbars. A parallel fabricaiton scheme will be set up, in which the corner post is simply cut out of a sheet material, and the crossbars still need to be first fabriacted from a thicker sheet, then twisted into its final shape. On the 17th of Dec we will do first physical models in the workshop.
