Really useless machine

These have been kicking around for a while now but a friend just discovered them so I made her one for her birthday. This one uses a variant of the the living hinge design I saw on the MAKE blog. It uses a standard size servo, I removed the controller board, patched directly in to the motor and modified the servo for continuous rotation. It is powered by 3x AA batteries so it should last a while, which is convenient because I got too excited and glued the box shut before I figured out how I was going to change them. If I make another I would use magnets to hold the lid firmly closed until the arm comes out. (svg here)

Now available for sale, a little bit smaller than this one but functionally and aesthetically the same.
This kit can be purchased through my shop here

Rubber Ducky Snowflake

A special request from a friend, a rubber ducky snowflake.

Plain Snowflake

I think calling it plain is under selling it a little, I like it and think it's quite pretty. I also did a quick spray paint test to see if the details lines showed through, good news they do.

Santa Lamp

I made this lithophane christmas lamp for the instructables calender so it even comes with full instructions.

Tyreal Lamp

I've made paper lithophanes before but now I have a laser cutter to do all the hard work. I made this lithophane featuring Tyreal from Diablo II from some fan art I found online (svg here)

The snowflakes are all £5 for 4 with £2 for worldwide P&P

Snowflake - Transformers

Having seen the star wars snowflakes a friend asked me if I could make some transformers snowflakes, using the autobots and decepticons symbols. These designs are cut on my laser and the patterns are available here for download.
