Polymorph frame for a base plate

Materials:

  • polmorph (of course)
  • 4 ice cream sticks
  • 1 long  and 1 short mechano panel
  • some flat plastic

Tools:

  • needle nose pliers
  • glue gun (w/ glue sticks)

Step 1:
Cut your sticks to a desired length. Note! The sticks are ~2mm (~0.078in) wide, so when you are cutting,
you should add those 2mm (~0.078in), so you 'll have the right length of the square.

Bend the mechano parts in to a L 90° shape.

Step 3:
 Glue one L shaped mechano part with one stick. Doing this four times, you should glue all of them
in the same 
direction.
