plans and manufacturing details

1.

make the wood plate

to build your own plane you need :
- instructions at https://github.com/laurasavignac/wood-plate
- a laser cutting/engraving machine
- a plate of wood (600 x 400 mm)

4 mm

400 mm
4 mm

600 mm

You can increase or decrease the number of holes on the plate as you want. Just
be sure the bottom of the letter is the same size as the hole so it easily fit together.

1.

make the set of letters

to build your set of letters you need :
- instructions at https://github.com/laurasavignac/3D-printed-letters
- a 3D printer

The GitHub folder contains the set of lowercase, uppercase, numbers and glyphs.
The type used is Helvetica Bold but you can use any other type you like.

or make your own letters

a

1 / On Adobe Illustrator, choose the type you want to use and vectorize the letters
you need.

2 / Create the «leg» of the letter (as high as you want).

3 / Create the «foot» of the letter, the part that will slot on the wood plate. The width
of it must be the same as the size of the holes on the plate.

4 / Combine the 3 parts together and use pathfinder to have a single form. Then
you can easily make a 3D printable version of your letters using Bender or any 3D
software.
