IPhone Cases

I had a visitor on Friday who came down to see if some of his designs would work when engraved on the laser cutter. We had a few false starts trying to get the power settings correct but once we'd figured that out they all came out really well (bar a few alignment issues). I think the plan is to sell these ideas and the first one is available currently on ebay.

But we had a few ideas about thickening the white lines etc which should make it plausible. Was a good afternoon with only one small fire :)

The Pad03 panel clips into place so you'll need to reach up inside the machine to work the clips loose. The cable runs down the inside of the laser and is cable tied onto mounti...

Northants Board Game convention is right around the corner and I'm exhibiting this year so I decided I needed a better business card holder to dish out my little business tchotchke. I found a file for a mimic box that I liked and modified it to come up with this little cutie. He's a very happy chappy, just be careful of your fingers when you're taking a card.

Hilbert Fractal Curve Puzzle

Boing Boing recently featured a puzzle made from a space filling curve, it looked pretty good so I took the opportunity to convert my space filling Hilbert curve into a similar puzzle. I'm thinking about listing this in the web store, it's a challenging puzzle because all the pieces look the same.
