The design process involved some basic ideation and first-hand prototyping with cardboard to crack the angles and geometry. The standee was supposed to host an Arduino Uno R3 and a 8x8 LED matrix. The design incorporated a combination of 120° angle with three press-fit joineries. The most challenging part was acing the kerfing pattern in a 3mm acrylic sheet.

The design was fabricated two times in total because the first attempt had many complications that lead to an undesirable result. The single-lined linear kerfing pattern provided an unnecessary three dimensional movement. In the second attempt, a dashed linear pattern was used that only provided a two dimensional movement.

The edge of the joinery where the bending was supposed to sit was at a very sharp angle in the first iteration, while the bending was radial and rounded. And, hence that perfect curvature was provided in the latest iteration to prevent breakage.

There were 4 components in total that were supposed to fit into each other using press-fit and finger joineries to hold the structure itself, Arduino and other electrical components together. For this purpose, a 0.2mm margin and 0.01mm offset was utilised.
