Step 3Design your module
As I mentioned before, I really wanted to make my own version of Amy Cunningham's interlocking design series.
My modules consists of two types of shapes:
The four tooth shape and the five tooth shape.
Some modules will be made by the four kind and some with the five kind. For your own version you could add more teeth to get better support or decorative ornaments.
The height of your shape needs to be the total height of the module (14,4 inch) and the width will be the depth. For example if your modules will contain books and they are 8,5 inch by 11 inch you might want to give it a minimum of 8 inch width.
To design the top and bottom part make sure to divide the spaces correctly. Usually you would want to leave some space for a smooth assemble.The longer the teeth the bigger the square you'll get when interlocking. Be careful with exaggerating on the size of them, remember they will contain stuff and you need them be really stable.
Note: If there is something wrong with the design you've just made, don't worry because when we prototype in the next step you will find out what to keep and what to change.
