iPad dummy v1 complete
The iPad dummy is complete! This means I can carry around a thing that is the same weight as a real iPad so I can get used to it in my bag. Actually, this is just a shiny version of a real product that will be used for prototyping cases, stands and such.
The back was printed at NextFab Studio out of ABS. The front was cut at Surbeck Waterjet from a scrap of glass left over from a job for P Diddy’s house. Version 2 will be CNC routed out of MDF. This will make it cheaper, but not the prefect weight.
