Lessons learned:
I need a better way of connecting the canopy element to the desk/connection element. Some of this (like other problems) is certainly magnified when working with cardboard, but a problem exists.
There needs to be a way to adjust how much pressure holds the canopy element together on its hinge. The legs swing loosely which causes all sorts of problems, if they were under enough pressure that it took a strong hand to set them it would be much easier to set the canopy in place. However, this needs to be adjustable (maybe another clamping mechanism?) because the pressure is perfect when folding the unit up.
It doesnt stand up...Real materials would help, but there needs to be some element that adds lateral stability to the unit on the sides of the canopy.
Things that worked:
The folding mechanism works great.
The hinge is a good idea, it just needs to be tweaked.
Other problems encountered:
Limited cardboard. Not only that, but finding long continuous pieces was really hard.
