Full scale mockup

Using the layout that i used for the 1:10 mockup model, i tested whether it worked on a full scale setup specially when we need to take the thickness of the material.

Actually it didn't worked out as expected, many joints and flaps were not fitting perfectly, and there were gaps at some corners.
The prblem could have arisen due to (1) the thickness of my mockup cardboard, which happened to be almost 15mm thick, and (2) design of the folds considering the thickness and ways to improve lateral stability.

One thing that easily worked out was the compressive strength ability.

Flat pack in 3 pieces

A variation of the Key way locking system

V groove (this chairs contains lots of them in different unique specifications)

Problem: miss alligned locking system



Problem: flap too short

left open gap is not aesthetically pleasing

overall scale compared to other generic chair.

After studying things that didn't worked out well, i went back(with a headache) to the drawing book, designing new joining techniques which i will document in the next post.
