Drop in Making Session 6+

Table of Contents

Drop in sessions continued to happen for those community members who were keen to help to finish up the final details of the Kaiju as well as to install.

We met some challenges with installation. We took apart the Kaiju to install (as was the plan) and we had a blow out of the x core cardboard. We needed to bring the Kaiju back downstairs and reinforce it with 6mm ply wood and also give it a base like the original Kaiju on hexes. It was decided that they should also be cut out of 12mm ply on the CNC.

The tail also became more elaborate over time by 2 community members committed to working on it and seeing it through to the end with Arduino lights and very detailed cardboard work.

There was a blow out of the ex core cardboard that was used for the skeleton of this Kaiju. We uninstalled the Kaiju and took it back to the Fab Lab for more work. This time it was reinforced with ply on both sides that join the wings. After this it was mounted on the 3 base hex's also made of wood and covered in cardboard.

Re-installed
