Final Product Created

Here is my product, a portable chair, fully completed.

Final Layers Before Completion


Evidence of me attaching the final layers together (to fix the safety hazard), and to complete the construction of my product.

Method Of Attachment For Final Layer

For the final layer (to fix the safety hazard of the hex nuts), i have applied a strong, adhesive spray, as shown.

Safety Hazard

Now that the chair is attached together, I have realised that the hex nuts, could present a safetey problem as they are sticking out from the chair, and when in use, they could brush up against it and become injured. To fix this, I will permanently attach the two additional tesselated components ( consisting of 3 layers each) to the sides of the chair. The only difference that will occur, is that the holes will now have a diameter of 40mm, so the nut and washer can still be accessible, thus keeping the function of portability, intact.

Excess Material Solution

The solution I will use against this newly formed safety hazard, is that i will cut off the excess material with a hack saw.

Thread Rod Problem



Now that the final layers of my chair are complete, I now have to tighten the thread rods, with the hex nuts. However once they were fully tightened,  a problem arose, as the excess materials were cleary protruding from the sides of the chair, this became a serious safety hazard, so I must now find a solution to this problem.

Compilation of components

This is evidence of my components, compiling together, to form my chair.
