Fasteners
- 7 mm wide zipties
Cover construction
Container construction
We need one or more containers to be able to transport the dome in. Before we can build a container we need to figure out what the optimal design would be. A wooden crate? Multiple wooden crates? Plastic bag? Duffelbag? Plz help think
Design decisions
- The dome will be 9m in diameter
- The tubes will be 22m steel tubes
- The inner ring of the hub will be a 40mm external diameter steel ring, with a height of 25 mm.
- The outer ring of the hub will be a 75mm external diameter PVC ring, with a height of 50mm.
- Both ends of a steel pipe will be equipped with a 8mm hole, with it's centerpoint located 8mm from the edge.
- The outer hub will be equipped with 24mm holes.
TODO
Frame construction
- Acquire missing tools needed
Settle on sizeSettle on tube diameterSettle on hub design- Determine total length of tubing required
- Find supply of steel tubing
- Design hubcap
- Print hubcaps
- Purchase tubes
- Select zipties
- Purchase zipties
- Cut tubes to required lengths
- Drill tube ends so zipties can be fitted
- Create assembly plan
- Assemble in back yard
- Settle on container solution
Cover construction
Request a sample of hermetix from supplier- Validate Hermetix as viable covering candidate.
- Decide on covering material
- Find supply of covering material
- Extract required shapes from material
- Decide on how to bind the shapes together
- Create cool showoffy idiopolis artsy design for covering
- Find the appropriate rivets to mount in the cover in order to rope the covering down
Find a method to cut holes in the fabric in order the mount the rivets
Container construction
- Settle on container type
- Design containers?
- Build containers
