Description:

A test cut piece. CNC cut this and assemble before cutting a whole structure to see if you have the right tolerances etc. The attached cutting files have offsets of 0.1mm (tolerance of 0.2mm). Perhaps this should be redesigned as something useful afterwards - like a stool!

Description:

The first S-joint, developed by Momentum Engineering with Architecture 00:/. It employs two bolted fins with S-joints between pieces. The S-joint itself is designed to maximise the quality of connection between the two pieces, but in fact in this configuration most of the stuctural work is done by the bolts. As a result, this version is very heavy on bolts, and can certainly be improved upon. Note that recommended bolt-set spacings are shown.

Description:

A developed version of the S-joint, designed by Momentum engineering with Architecture 00:/. It uses a fully-functioning plywood connection employing a wedge, malleted into the connection to pull the parts tightly together. Paradoxically, overlapping the pieces on each fin (so pieces on one fin bridge over junctions on the other) would prevent this from work, so the S-joints on each fin are mirrored, but in the same location. Location and number of bolts are not yet known.
