Final Template for Acrylic and Cardboard

Form my sketch models, i decided that layers of shapes ppointing in one direction (to give a sense of movement) will look the most effective and be the easiest to create. This also relates the closest to my final sketch model. Originally i though i would thread the pieces but i think that becasue not every piece has the four holes of support that thick wire or rod will be more suitable.

The easiest way for me to decided on size and diameters in proportion to all the pieces was to create my final skecth model on illustrator, then print it out and double check.

i did this by overlapping the pieces then copying the form and deleting irrelevant pieces in order to be left with each piece with the holes in the correct places.

In order to make them more evident on the blog i altered the point to thicker, however the specifications is to have the points at 0.01.
I have created a sense of movement and rotation thoruhg the use of lines towrds one direction. i think this will be effective.

I dont know whether i will use acrylic or cardboard. im most likely to use acryulic but like the idea of using a combination of the two. because we dont have to use every peice i have decided to use the same template for both materials and then when i have the pieces decided how i want it to be. I have two pieces of each shape on each material as i would like it to be reasonably thick and be reflected onboth sides.. symmetrical.

This is the final image of the template for the laser cutter. because my peices are being threaded together with wire i didnt need to worry too much about the relationship of the pieces other than the holes being in the correct places. but this wasnt too hard.
