@docpop correct! And anyone else with the plans can too. (Forthcoming.) #ModularFurniture #DIY

Finally found some 4040 hinges that are also 100% compatible with #gridkit. Can't wait to try them out on some new designs! Great for cabinet doors, folding desks or other transformer furniture.

Working on some prototype "grid panels". 😃

These ones are drilled halfway through so one side can be used as a bench top and the other side for connections using an M8 insert nut.

#upcycling stuff lying around the shed with Grid Kit.

An MDF cabinet with roller door is now a laptop workbench on wheels with a tool storage and the next day I added a pinboard and little shelf. 😃

Need to get more laser cut steel L-brackets they're awesome.

I'm super looking forward to finally getting on a CNC mill. Let's see if this funky idea actually can be made. #3DPrinting #CAD #Solidworks #ProductDesign #ModularFurniture #Prototyping

But when you do it inside this post they are perfectly nestled. #ModularFurniture #Overlapping #3DPrinting #CAD #Solidworks #prusa

Wow is that strong. This is a full size 150mm print of a vertical post that measures 56x58mm. There are two horizontal 20x40mm bars that slot in. They are held in place with a vertical pin you slide into the hole on the top that's about 6mm diameter and 65mm tall. #3DPrinting #Prusa #solidworks #IndustrialDesign #DFM #ModularFurniture #Furniture

Slowly getting there. This design is more to scale than previous ones. This one is also mostly CNCed, no table saw. There's a lot of pieces and glue, but it would theoretically be possible to be made. This version is using veneers, but it could be made with solid wood if you wanted. #CAD #CNC #Solidworks #ModularFurniture

The design of the #ModularFurniture keeps changing because I've been trying out different manufacturing approaches. As much as I would like to have bespoke cast metal parts and fancy dovetail joints, I am somewhat limited in tools and time. I need a way to mass produce a lot of composable pieces that can fit together without tools and disassemble quickly. The goal is also to allow flexibility in building different structures and attach different accessories.

The idea continues to evolve. After interviews with people and trying to understand materials, we have to work with what's out there a lot of the time. #ModularFurniture
