Plain Curves - Figuring things out part 2.

Model No. 2:
The
bulky qualities of my first model of cardboard, butterfly hinges and masking tape forced me to use more refined materials; Strathmore paper and pins. I was able to achieve more fluid motions with the second model however ran into a few of the same problems: 1. Inventing effective pivoting and sliding methods and keeping "rods" parallel or perpendicular. 2. Creating parts that were ridged enough for the stresses of the movement. 3. Understanding/figuring out how to layer parts, above or below each other in order to avoid "getting them stuck together.
