Today was the pre-submission of the final report i.e. our manual, and so we pre-submitted, but quite a bit is still missing. The biggest single thing seems to be the panels and instructions on how to make them. We've had some problems with them during these past days: on Wednesday morning me and Irena couldn't find the time to test the adjusting properly and after that it's been all cloudy and rainy. Today we tried to do some testing with a spotlight at Design Factory, and based on that, the manual adjusting (bending the "wings" to right angle) of a single panel works. However, I am still concerned about how to make the rest of the panels. Going through every single one of them manually is a lot of work.
Right now we know the needed angles, so in theory we could make a mould of it. However, we haven't quite figured out how that would help us. First we thought of hammering the wings to the right angle with the help of wedges or the mould, but it seemed to be quite difficult to get the angle right and precise because the needed elevation is so small (0,6 mm). If we would have access to a press in the next few days, our problems might be solved. If not, we need either a brilliant innovation quickly or long hours spent at the DF. So any ideas are now more than welcome!
