my name is Eric Strebel welcome to
another video of mine about industrial design the second part of my video I'm
going to show you how I built this little plastic sketch mock-up using
mainly styrene parts I'm gonna kick bash today that means I'm going to take a
bunch of unrelated random parts put them together to make like a little exhibit
mock-up for you this is some old Motorola headphones these little remote
control parts of the headphones I'm going to end up using a massive feat for
my little exhibit display stand here just cutting everything apart to get it
to where I can actually use the little pieces I don't know exactly how they're
going to go together yet but I know what I need a bunch of parts I cut off the
little ends here because I want to clean off the parts and I'm going to make a
little feet you I follow the pieces nice and smooth so I
don't have any burrs or anything sticking out then I start arranging the
parts in a way that I think might work well for this little exhibit alright I'm pretty happy with the way
those feet are gonna work out for this little display so I just lay them out on
a piece of styrene and I trace around them and I'm gonna use that as my base
to put everything together styrene is super easy to cut out and
then I just glue all the pieces together with a little bit of sign all acrylate
super glue hold them in place to get my base I test out my little pole I notch
it and I put a little bit more superglue in and I see that it's dripped all over
the place and I've moved to a piece of wood I drop on a little bit of
accelerator here so that I can keep on working next grab the heat gun and I'm
going to lightly heat up that tube you notice I rotate the model and I do that
from all the directions so I ended up uniformly and evenly and then I bend
this little tube to create an interesting little form this is going to
become the base of my display I'm going to cut off the end pieces of
one of these little sample panels that I have also styrene it was vacuum formed I
talked about that a little bit in my earlier video I clean up the piece then
I get a nice little interesting shape here trim off all the little burrs and I
get it ready I want this little curved element at the
top to face down towards the user it's going to be used to direct sound from
this displaying towards the user when they're standing in front of it I decide
to glue it on with a little bit of solvent and here I'm just trimming out
notching the little curved piece so that it attaches to the pole really well I
use some little needle files for that to create a nice little surface that
follows the poles so that I can glue it on I put on a couple of drops of solvent
but I find that it's just not working for me and I need to move on with the
project so I drop a little bit of superglue on there let that dry put a
little bit of accelerator and boom I'm moving on so the solvent weld while it's
really the best for this plastic doesn't always work especially when you
forward keep on sketching to flesh out your idea
you at this point I decide that the display
needs a little bit of color and I took a magazine and I find a nice graphic and
I'm going to lay this on the back of the curved top piece here just to add a
little bit of a visual interest this could be a curved flexible LCD display
or it could be a fixed graphic just to add a little bit of interest and I felt
it worked out really good next I'm going to add the little speaker
and I'm going to use one of the headphones that I cut off before and
that works really nice now I'm going to add three displays or monitors onto this
so that when people walk up to this display they can get a little bit of
information about whatever product is being sold at this display get some
watch some videos get some product information I'm just making a quick
collar it's going to go around the base to mock up here I put in a little set screw
similar to way to be done in real life but I'm just adding a little bit of
detail I glue it together and I go back to working on my monitors here I clip
the corners of all my displays just to make them a little bit more interesting
so they're not so square I use the runners from a model part because I want
the supports to be black but just cut them off square get them to the right
length and size super glue them into place I set them with an inset and I
keep on going next we'll attach them on to the actual
display now that I have the flat panels put on to the display I need to add some
graphics to really make them look like flat panels so it's obvious I have an
old IKEA catalog and I flip through that I find some graphics of some lamps and I
cut them out and I'm gonna place them on the displace to make the displays
actually look like displays so that they have some nice pleasing graphics on
there and then when you look at this mock-up they'll say oh yeah hey I know
this is a display and that's what I'm looking at to turn them out with a ruler
I get them nice and put them on the monitors I adhere them on to the
monitors with a glue stick the reason I'm using a glue stick is because using
spray mount kind of traditional it just gets everywhere and I don't have a
really big shop I don't have a ventilation fan so I'm just trying to be
safe and the glue stick works really well so that's it I built this little
exhibits display probably took me less than two hours and then I have something
that I can photograph I can sketch on top of and I can continue to develop the
