The Medieval Drawbridge

Enjoy this simple project of a drawbridge that I made. I was inspired from the typical bridges that were used in medieval times, thanks to these the enemies could not follow you if the bridge was lifted up.

To make this model I used a rigid 3mm cardboard sheet.

Follow my brief tutorial and enjoy the final result!

First I drew all of the pieces on Cad and saved them as a DXF file.

Then I got my file into the Lasercut machine which drew the same on the 3mm cardboard sheet.

This is how the pieces looked like!
