Q1: Say hi, and tell us what you’ve been doing this week. #MakersHour

@MakersHour Q1: what's up?

A1: Hello. Last weekend I worked on some support structures for a ceiling for my cyberpunk corpo bar for #Neotropolis. The structure needs to be transportable and storable, and while assembling it, I realized my design would be bulky. So I need to redesign a little so it to collapse more.

@tschundler
Design iterations are fun, especially when it needs to fit certain parameters for transport.

I have one to do, too.

#MakersHour

@MakersHour oh, yes. There a a number of dimensions of this project are based on van I'll be renting to transport it. No flat panels bigger than 1.5m x 2.75m. No beams longer than the diagonal of that.

I have ~16h for setup and ~6h for teardown. I have to consider order-of-operations and what those operations are. I might be adding ~24 bolts. Can I reduce that? Would it be better to do two loads and transport those parts partially assembled and only fully disassemble for storage? We'll see.
