- Project Overview -
As a personal design project last summer, I created a rotating photo cube inside of a house-like design using woodworking and applied knowledge from SolidWorks.
1 - Design
The inspiration comes from various photo-cube products I have seen online, instead using wood for all internal and external hardware. The photos are afixed onto small dowel rods, with a larger internal shaft connected to a handle, allowing the pictures to rotate.
2 - Analysis
I designed each dimension in SolidWorks, accounting for various tolerancing that would make the final design function. I then created 2-D schematics to follow for later dimensioning.
3 - Manufacturing
The entire project was made out of wood, manually marking, cutting, glueing, sanding, and painting the entire piece.
4 - Testing/Integration
Integrating the handle was difficult, as the friction proved to be a large issue. In order to fix this, the size of the holes was increased and the primary shaft was sanded down to the specified tolerance within the original design.
5 - Final Design
The final design functioned as intended, rotating various pictures in a circle with the attached handle, operating under minimal to no friction.
