Rumble Tower
We have a 3d print of our site that we wanted to display for Rumble – we got it from Shapeways, and it just barely arrived in time. The cool thing about the 3d print, though, is that it came out translucent, thanks to its minimal thickness. I’d laid claim to the 3d printing process, and so it fell to me to design the stand upon which the model sat. I thought it might be fun to play with the translucency in the base for the stand, and developed the following concept:
Basically, it involved building a model stand fitted to the 3d print, with hidden casters so we could move it around, and an opaque white acrylic top to diffuse light from below. The setup would also involve a door on the backside of the stand, so that lights could be turned off when not in use, and a shelf upon which the lights would rest. Here’s the finished product from above:
And here’s Richard Weinstein taking a closer look:
