  • laser cutter and the program inkscape
  • 3d printing and programs cura and tinkercad
  • drill

Step 1: PRODUCING THE LIBRA

STEP 1: DRILL THE WOODEN PRISM

Pierce the wooden prism with the drill to insert the wooden rod. The hole should be inclined.

STEP 2: DRILL THE WOODEN ROD

Pierce the wooden rod at the both ends with the drill to insert the chain in each hole.

STEP 3: HOLE THE SCALES

Do two holes in the scales to insert the extremes of the chain. The holes should be near the perimeter of the scale on the diameter.

STEP 4: ENGRAVE THE HUNT’S GOD OF MOCHE

Search the image on internet and save it in SVG.

Open the image on inkscape.

Resize it with the actual size (9x13 cm).

Modificate the file for the laser cutter.

Save the file in DXF.

Move the file of the image in the laser cutter.

Engrave the image on the wooden plank in size 9x13 cm.

STEP 5: PAINT THE WOOD

Paint the scales and the wooden plank 10x10 cm gold.

Paint the wooden prism, planks and rod black.

STEP 6: ASSEMBLE ALL THE PARTS
Glue the wooden planks 15x15cm and 10x10cm that are the base of the libra.

Glue the base below the libra and the other wooden plank 12x12cm above it.

Draw the construction of the 4 sides of the pyramid, isosceles trapezoids which larger base measures 18 cm and minor base measures 3 cm on inkscape.

Modificate the file for the laser cutter.

Save the file in DXF.

STEP 2: CUT THE PLEXIGLASS

Move the file in the laser cutter.

Cut the plexiglass by the laser cutter to obtain the 4 sides of the pyramid.

STEP 3: GLUE THE PLEXIGLASS

Glue the 4 sides of the pyramid

STEP 4: MAKE THE HOLOGRAM VIDEO

Produce images on Adobe Illustrator to then put them in series for the video.

Set up a specific duration for the video. Save the video.

STEP 5: ACTION THE HOLOGRAM

Put the video on full screen and place the plexiglass pyramid, with the small surface down, in the middle of the screen.

Step 3: THE CASE

STEP 1: CREATE THE COLUMNS

Draw 5 rectangles for each columns in size 3x30 cm and their bases (4 circles with a radius of 3.5 cm with an rectangular hole in the middle in size 3x3.3 cm) on inkscape.

Modificate the file for the laser cutter. Save the file in DXF.

STEP 2:CUT THE CARDBOARD

Move the file in the laser cutter.

Cut the cardboard by the laser cutter to obtain the pieces for the column.

STEP 3: CREATE THE CASE

Draw the construction of the case on inkscape (two rectangles in size 15 x 30 cm, two rectangles i size 30x50 cm and a rectangles 15 x 50 cm).

Modificate the file for the laser cutter.

Save the file in DXF.

STEP 4: CUT THE CARDBOARD

Move the file in the laser cutter.

Cut the cardboard by the laser cutter to obtain the faces of the case.

STEP 5: PAINT THE CASE

Paint the case completely black.

Paint the columns and their bases completely gold.

STEP 6: ASSEMBLE ALL THE PARTS
