Stage Bed 🤘

This is a frame for the bed that Leni and I designed and built with the help of Clément who you should hire if you need any dope stuff built in Berlin 🐻 🇩🇪. The panelling work is not included in these drafts. The design objective was to create a bed that could double as a set for photoshoots or a stage for pillow fights or bedroom concerts 😎. Leni just walked into the cafe where I'm publishing this and the first thing she mentioned is how she can store her entire life beneath the mattress so yeah... I guess it serves a pretty niftly storage unit as well. We built a version with slightly higher pillars and I guess a great percentage of humans can sit upright or comfortably crawl under the mattress.

Here is a picture of Leni posing on a version of the bed. I have to credit Clément for the build quality and stellar paint-job.

A plan of the components required is provided in docs/plan.pdf

Parameters

The model has been parameterized to allow the changing of the dimensions of the model by simply altering the values in the Dimensions table within the FreeCAD project.

Some components may require repositioning if values in this table are modified.

Section	Dimension	Description
Mattress	length	Length of the mattress
Mattress	width	Width of the mattress
Mattress	height	Height of the mattress
Mattress	radius	Radius in the rounding of the mattress corners
Slat supports	Slat width	Width of one the edge slat of the Lattenrost
Slat supports	Slat height	Height of the one edge slat of the Lattenrost
Slat supports	slat_foundation_side	Width of the support that carries the slats of the Lattenrost
Beams	width	Width of the beams used to create the top-facing support lattice
Beams	height	Height of the beams used to create the top-facing support lattice
Beams	groove	Height of the groove used to interlock the beams in the top-facing support lattice
Loadbearer	length	Length of the beams used for top-facing surface
Loadbearer	height	Height of the beams used for the top-facing surface (same as Beams / height)
Loadbearer	width	Width of the beams used for the top-facing surface (same as Beams / width)
Pillars	height	I dunno 😑
	seat_height	The height of the sitting surface
	seat_width	The width of the sitting edge around the mattress
