# Summary

Display Trolley for Human Interfacing ... ( Concept Stage )

This is a portable display stand for computer / laptops / Screen Devices ... ( Suitable for various types of configurations / orientation )

Work is now underway on making this prototype a reality - will update this as it develops ... :)

Cheers, Bantum.


# How I Designed This

## Conceptual stage :

Basic idea was to keep it simple & minimise the number of cuts ...

- Keep it to dimensions of a 1200 x 2400mm Ply sheet ...
- Be able to 'short stack' units for compact storage ...
- Adjustable for optimal viewing ... 
- Hardware to be kept minimal ... ( TBA )

Maquette was made from cardboard ... ( hand drawn )

- Tested for stacking with Two Maquettes ...

## Prototype :

Files were drawn up in AutoCAD, 3D model in SketchUp ...

- CNC file done in V Carve ... ( TBC )
- Hardware for center pivot hinge found ... ( see link )

To be continued ...

# Components

## Hardware :

Rough outline of materials proposed :

- 15mm ply sheet ( 1200 x 2400 mm ) - 1 of
- Brace Hinges ( TBA ) - 12 of
- Center pivot hinges - 4 of : https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Stainless-Steel-Pivot-Hinges-for-Cabinets-Windows-Connect-Folding-Free-Shipping/32804416600.html
- Base hinges - 2 of : Piano hinge
- Nuts & Bolts ... ( TBA )
- Wheels ... ( TBA )

All other components like computers etc. are not part of this build ...

# Notes

## Concept :

In developing the concept for a computer display stand ... 

- It should be able to fit 2 complete units on the one sheet ...
- Be possible to place screen in various positions / orientations ...
- Be able to 'Short stack' ... ( This is yet to be fully tested  )

It works fine on the Maquette, but will need to be further tested when I have a completed set ... ;)

- Maquette part is done, now working on drawings / model for production ...



## Prototype :

Developing the full size prototype ...

- Draft layout for CNC machine added ...
- Hardware has been sourced & ordered ...

Will add more as it progress ...

# Edits

- First issued - Concept & draft plans added ... Aug 2018
- Notes & Hardware updated ... Sept 2018
