Laptop Photo Frame – SketchUp
After assembling the prototype template using cardboard, I started taking external measurements. Refinements to cutouts were made and all dimensions were converted to millimeters. I’m strongly considering using Ponoko for this project. It’s a good excuse to try it out.
Here’s a shot of the external part of the frame in SketchUp. I changed the color to black and set it to 75% transparency. The final product will be completely transparent.
Update
And here’s the internals. A couple of pieces for the motherboard and the LCD to mount or rest on. Some dead space in between. And some pieces to connect the mounting pieces and provide more rigidity to the whole thing.
Another Update
Ponoko isn’t cheap. I’ll probably be doing this one without Ponoko.
