Initial sketch/initial design

Stand construction

Central axis orientation and background notes

Solidworks renderings

Fabrication

Designed for fabrication using modular parts laser cut from a single 12"x12" sheet of 1/8" plywood and glue

Drying the frames required some resourcefulness. This method of frame fabrication, the way I initially intended it, actually failed when I attempted to assemble the project. I later reconstructed the frames to simplify the process of putting them on the axis and to make them line up and lie flat over each other as shown below. 

Completed construction

FlipFrame demo video. Imagine that the image changes in response to the frame being changed (not because of the user pressing the screen).

Simple mockup for digital picture frame application. If the embedded version below does not work, go to tinyurl.com/ccpdflipframe. To use the mockup, simply click on the tabs at the bottom. Pretend that each time a frame is flipped on the model, the corresponding page appears on the screen as a response.
