  • Acrylic (Clear or Blue?)
  • Neutrik Rugged USB Receptacle
  • Gravograph Laser Cutter/Engraver

Plan

Item Size Cost Status Website from (if any) Notes
Neutrik USB Recepacle ~25mm dia. free! OBTAINED Neutrik Rugged & protected & No cost!
Acrylic ~50cmx50cm (sq.) Free or low cost Pending From School May even be no-cost!
USB Extension Lead 1.5m? ~£3.50 pending Tesco/Maplin etc. Could be donated :)

Draft

I made a really quick rough draft, which is downloadable here

A better draft is being made up, and more pictures etc. will go here when it gets done.

Design Specs.

In order to be successful, the stand needs to be;

  • Rugged
  • Easy to use
  • Easy to store
  • Simple to understand
  • Fairly Basic
  • Aesthetically pleasing
  • Fairly cheap, so that if it does break one can be made again quickly
  • Safe! (i.e. no sharp corners)
