Bed: Mattress Frame Holder

I don't want the kids to get injured by the metal parts holding the bed frame, so I designed a plastic cap covering the bare metals parts that are mounted under the bed. Will print ten of them on the weekend. OpenSCAD files are in the repo.

Bed: Built

The bed is built – my kids are happy.

There's one more thing I need to do: adding some bumper around the metal brackets holding the mattress frame. There's a construction in the repo, it's currently printing.

happy "customers" ;-)

Bed: sanding, painting

Today I sanded all wooden parts. I painted all parts with oil emulsion, thus no solvents in Hannah's room. The wood will be in accordance to DIN EN 71 part 3, resilient to water, saliva and sweat – just like high-quality wooden toys are produced. I think my neightbors just love me, just after sanding for about 6 hours. ;-) Metal parts come in on Tuesday, if everything works out ok...

FWIW, some of the measuerements were wrong. I'll upload a corrected BOM tomorrow to the GIT repo.

Tools of the trade: Rotex and the mickey mouse

Rapid Bed Prototyping

After creating the design in OpenSCAD, it's "Rapid Bed Prototyping" time.
I decided to create the measurements for the holes by hand on paper, so these are included lateron as photo. Thanks to my friend Werner who gave me his expert advice on woodworking, cut piece after piece of wood precisely on the table saw and let me use his workshop and tools for drilling and fitting!
