to have a better idea of the three-dimensional aspects of my design, I made a prototype out of cardboard.
I then repeated the same steps to create the pieces for all three triangles in the design. To connect the triangles, I made a 4 cm rectangle and placed it on the hypotenuse, securing it with masking tape.
I did the same thing to create the three triangles and used a craft knife to cut in between the first and the third triangle to make space for the second triangle
Next, I inserted the middle triangle between the other two and used tape to secure it in place.
Then to finish I used black paint to cover the masking tape
And here is the final result of the prototype
Creating this prototype gave me a clearer idea of what my 3D final product would look like and also helped me identify potential challenges I might face during the process. I made a mistake in the measurements for the prototype which made the first and third triangles to be on the same level when they are not on the design. When making my final model I should be careful about it and take the right measurement to avoid repeating the same mistake
First, I sketched a triangle shape on a piece of cardboard, with the adjacent being 10 cm and the opposite measuring 20 cm.
