Wooden eyeglasses

Got the idea when returning from a visit to Fab Lab Berlin in July 2014:

  • An intern had cut a bendable cover for his report, probably thing 12707.
  • There was lots of talk about digitally manufactured glasses.

For the future

  • Optimize pattern for bending. Currently it's guesswork: Based on thing 12707, I simply drew something that I thought could work, and it does.
  • Make eyeglasses foldable flat, fixable with cords. At the moment, the temples collide, preventing bending both by 180°.
  • Parameterize design for different faces.
  • Experiment with different cords.
