RIC week 9 prototype

 

We used the CNC this week to cut our new plastic material into four hangers to hold our gutter in place. These L-shaped hangers are 2cm wide and have two holes cut into them. We wanted to be able to thread wire or plastic through the holes and under the gutter plastic to keep it semi-circular and support its weight. The plastic board became dislodged from the holds while being cut on the CNC, and the last of the four hangers was cut abnormally as the CNC malfunctioned. The bottom of this hanger was cut thinner as a result of this, but it is still usable because the top section that holds the gutter was unaffected. It will be able to be nailed into the wall in the same way that the other hangers are.
