So here’s the deal. I did my first fabricating for a function on my phone cord that broke, however that was like 2 weeks ago and since then I have gotten a new one. Therefore I no longer need a peice to fix it.
I have been home for a week now and I sit in the same chair for dinner every night, the same old wobbly chair since I was 16, and I decided now I will fix this problem with a hunk of plastic.
I told my mom I was going to do my project on this wobbly chair and she told me it was stupid and I should do something better, but I then reminded her who she was talking to, and she realized that even this would probably be too hard for me.
So back to FreeCad I went. I actually hate every part of this, but, I think I have found something I can do and it wont be too hard. The fact that I changed my object to something more simple made me more excited to do this casue I did it in like 10 minutes, after I measured my chair.
So I ended up with this cool looking thing. I couldnt figure out how to make all the measurements show up, but the whole thing is 23.828 mm wide by 22.454 long and 3.5mm tall.
I also curved the corners on the top too cause I felt like I had done it too fast, and I wanted to make it fancy.
Okay so I guess I can show you my chair now too. Please ignore the hair, my mom and I shed like dogs so there is hair literally everywhere.
So there is currently a felt pad on the chair to make it not wobbly but it does not work. I measured the distance between the actualy chair leg and the ground, and it was about 8 mm. My thingy is only 3.5 mm tall becasue I plan to put it on the chair with duct tape and i foresee that taking up space, and if anything its been wobbly forever and it can be wobbly forever.
