WOESH - Juggling Board

We, Arthur Vanmeenen, Karsten Ramaker, and Thomas Claus, in collaboration with Woesh and IPO, have created a circus instrument. This tool aids in learning to juggle while rolling, allowing the correct steps to be learned step by step. It can be adjusted to the user's skill level.

To assist with rolling the ball (which can sometimes be a bit tricky), we have made a slide where you can place the ball so that it follows a path.

The picture highlights the key components of the game. In the drawing, you can see an exploded view showcasing every part in detail. This visual guide helps you understand how each piece fits together and contributes to the fun!

This versatile product offers endless ways to play! Use just one or two slides, or change their direction to create different game setups. Feeling like a challenge? Adjust the tower height to speed up or slow down the balls. Customize the game to match your skill level and keep the fun going!

Take the rubberwood to the panel saw and cut it in half (2250 mm) along the red line on the layout drawing.

Materials needed:

• Rubberwood

Tools needed:

• Panel saw
• Tape measure
• Pencil

Now, take one of the two cut pieces to the CNC machine and prepare the CNC. Take the blabla bla mill and mount it, load the file into the CNC, and run it. If you wish to make multiple pieces, you can repeat this process on the remaining panel.

Materials needed:

• Rubberwood

Tools needed:

• CNC machine
• CNC file

To use and set up the Pantorouter correctly, we recommend watching the instruction video.

Materials needed:

• Rubberwood after CNC

Tools needed:

• Pantorouter router
• 8mm router bit
• Pencil
• Ruler

In this step, we will create the male side of the towers. First, we'll use the laser cutter with the Illustrator file to cut the design from a wooden sheet. Next, align the laser-cut wood precisely with double-sided tape, as shown in the video below. Then, ensure everything is well clamped and securely fixed to proceed with the milling.

Materials needed:

• Rubberwood tower parts
• Wood
• Double-sided tape

Tools needed:

• Laser cutter
• Milling machine ( bovenfrees )
• end mill ⌀ 10mm

It is now time to attach the invisible hinges. Place the hinges in the recesses and pre-drill with a 1-2 mm drill bit. After pre-drilling all four sides, attach the hinges with a screw machine and the provided screws.

Materials needed:

• 6x invisible hinges

Tools needed:

• 1-2 mm wood drill bit
• Bit set
• Screw machine

Start by sanding the surface with a coarser grit (P120) to remove all irregularities. Then use a finer grit (P240) to sand the entire surface until it feels smooth. Don't forget to lightly sand the sharp corners and edges as well, so they are rounded and comfortable to touch.

Tools needed:

• Sandpaper P120, P240

In this step, both items will be 3D printed.

Tools needed:

• 3D printer
• 2x Step file

Measure and mark according to the technical drawings at the bottom of this step, then pre-drill with a 1-2 mm drill bit. Next, assemble the surface-mounted locks, handle, and eyes on the plate with the screws (4x16 mm).

Materials needed:

• Screws 4x16mm
• Handle
• Surface-mounted locks
• Eyes on the plate

Tools needed:

• Screwmachine
• tape mesure
• pencil

Feel free to play a game and experience the joy of the product you have just made!

Is there a break in one of the parts? Then go to step 12: Attachments and find the zip file with the CNC files. Remove the elements that do not need to be replaced. The part that needs to be replaced can then be cut from the leftover rubberwood material using the CNC.

If the CNC is not available, you can open the zip file with the technical drawings. The part can then be manually reproduced from the leftover material of the panel.

Materials needed:

• CNC-file or technical drawings
• Leftover rubberwood material
• CNC or the appropriate hand tools
