Stage 6: Epoxy Resin Version


The first change in the new model is the mold. It has rotation bearing which makes construction substantially faster. It also has the top removed which allows a impression to be made on the seat. 



This iteration of the design has a few improvements. There is an indent on the seat to improve comfort. The legs have been reinforced along the spine and the stool has better rope distribution overall. The Epoxy casting resin is a little more pliable, and will sag over time but smells better and will take pigments.


An option would be to add a plywood seat for added comfort and strength, but this compromises the cleanliness of the design.
