Optics Museum Project Construction Day 3

Today was a day for updating measurements and dimensions. The plane mirror we received in the mail was slightly different than we had expected. Originally, I planned on creating the plane mirror box so that it would be 10 x 10 x 10 centimeters. However, because of the unexpected change of events, these measurements needed to be adjusted. The box seen in the pictures is 7.6 x 7.6 x 14 centimeters. (3 x 3 x 5.5 inches). Here is a link to our project documentation. It includes estimated/predicted measurements to each part of our display. Note that all entrees are subject to change.

It turns out that completing this box before we printed the 3D objects was for the better. Now that I have the box's precise dimensions, I know how much space I have to work with. Hopefully our next class will provide enough time for 3D printing.
