Introduction: BALIBERI
Does your child suffer from hemiplegia or does he have a broken arm?
Can’t he play with his friends at ping pong? This simple object will revolutionize his life.
Step 1: For This Project You Will Need:
MATERIALS
- A table tennis racket
- a three-millimeter poplar wood plywood table
- a screw
- wood glue
INSTRUMENTS:
- Laser cutter
- drill
- screwdriver
Step 2:
The first thing to do is to design an octagonal box with inkscape (a software that can be downloaded for free on the internet).
To simplify you can go to a site called “boxes.py” and download the already-made project of an octagonal box.
Step 3:
Then you need to change the measures as it follows:
- height of the walls: 4 cm
- diameter of the octagon: 5 cm
- diameter of the bigger hole: 8.4 mm
-diameter of the smaller hole: 4.2 mm
Step 4:
Now you can cut the plywood plate with the laser cutter.
Step 5:
It is time to assemble the box. Probably you will need to fix the whole box with the help of wood glue.
Step 6:
Now your box is ready, you can fix it at the end of the racket. To do this you should make a hole with the drill in the handle of the racket, put the screw in the smaller hole and screw it with the screwdriver (that pass in the bigger hole).
Step 7:
Now your BALIBERI is ready to be used
