First prototype

So we decided that 3D printing service will take quite a little bit of time and we are not yet ready to finalize the design for it, among other things (the cost is a headache too!). Since the first presentation is just around the corner, we gonna go with a quicker solution : a prototype made wholly out of wood. We have been going around the hardware shops nearby and finally able to get some good looking woods for our project with cheap cost.

Due to the lock requires drop bolt hole component to be mounted, a stand for it is needed. The lock senses the component in order to drop the bolt. Since we need to build that stand, we thought it is a good idea to have the electronic lock able to swing just a little bit. At the end, we got ourselves a smaller scale door, which looks 'okay' enough for the presentation. We probably need more than this to impress the moderator, though.

Time for part timer carpenters to go to work.
