We began cutting our next model on the CNC machine.
This is the start of the front panels that have the locking mechanism.
Our next task is to cut the handles and set them into the MDF.
The sides look like this…
These are the panels that we cut a space out
in so that we could reduce the weight of the MDF.
Ideally, our model would be molded plastic like the milk crate,
but for our first model it was more possible to make a usable
model out of 1/2″ MDF, 1/4″ pegboard, and 1/4″ corrugated plastic.
These are the corrugated plastic cutouts that fit into the side panels.
We decided to cut holes in them for breathability. Before we had circle
cutouts, but we changed the model so that produce would be less
likely to fall out of them.
