Getting ready for Quirky

We are presenting our work to the designers and engineers at Quirky, so we are working our asses off to get ready to show the Clock. 

Getting the body and twist mechanism together

Those screws are so fucking small

K-Fed working hard or hardly working? 

Making the Twist Mech

I've been spending some time working on design and prototyping the mechanism that will act as the hinge, wire pass through, magnet fixture and provide rotational resistance. There are 3 concepts around providing twist resistance, using a rubber band through the center, annular compression springs or a compressible solid like silicone to function like the Drift insert. 

Concept 1: Rubber band

Concept 2: Compressible solid

Concept 3: Annular Springs (Working on it)

Getting Closer

Thanks Kate and Aaron!

Rounds & Smaller Rounds

I think this still looks like shit.... not sure how to fix this

Some Mock ups of Wood + Modern Designs

Wood/Leather & Modern inspired concepts

Wood & Leather

Dark walnut, soft touch or black anodized metal

Modern

Aluminum, acrylic and soft touch

This looks too much like a Leap Motion and everything apple inspired

Still modern: but fuck those screws on the front and hello chamfer

Boards of Inspiration

A friend advised me I should make some inspiration boards, so I took her advice. 

View fullsize

This is the Grain Audio PWS. I will take inspiration from their clamshell design

The Start

Here you can see Jason "the lion" King and Kevin "K-Fed" Baker pretending to work

V3 is on the way...

Today we starting reviewing the past prototypes. Kevin will start by finishing the software update to enable to full functionally of V2 

• 4 way display
• Tilt sense
• Pot sense/display 
• Speaker 
• Display color
• Date

I will be working on the new CAD files for V3. This will include building looks like models to develop the product styling. 

We also made a gantt chart! 

I know... fucking dope, right?
