I also wanted to make Phil a special card for his birthday. This spider man design came out really well. I was going to use a second colour behind the black but that seemed to make the image stand out too much, I much prefer the subtle play of light with the black on black. Funny how the left of the face seems almost grey against the background ( reminds me of this illusion ). ( svg here ) 244/264

It's a friends 30th birthday today and he's a big fan of spiderman. His wife wanted to make some spider man themed cakes and asked for some help (This is where the previous web came from). To simplify putting a web pattern into the top of his cupcakes she asked if I could make and cut the appropriate shape. Made from 3mm plastic, I etched 1.5mm away leaving a nice raised area that could be used to stamp cobwebs into the cakes. Not recommended for dishwashers or consistent use it's definitely been good for this one off. ( svg here ) 243/264

It's a box 80mm x 60mm x 20mm. Each of these boxes is slightly different internally, they all work but tabs changed sizes dotted lines moved this box was important to get right. It's a top secret project but bear with me because it will be posted eventually. 242/263 

I felt the rocket would probably look better with a tapered bottom so I re jigged the files. It's probably a bit ambitious for Saturday (I honestly don't know if we can get 1 made in 2 hours) but if anyone else has the time then they might prefer this version. ( svg here ) 241/262

There was discussion amongst Nottinghack today about mugs not drying correctly and needing some wire rack to put them on. Sounded like a laser cutter shaped nail to me so I drew up some plans and test cut them this evening. In theory the space can now have as many drying racks as it wants :P ( svg here ) 240/262 

Nottinghack is holding the worlds first Maker Playgroup  this Saturday. The idea is for hackers to take their children along to the space for a bit of a social, finger painting and playing with cardboard. I've seen cardboard rockets online before but now we get the chance to make one. This is a scale model so we can easily figure out roof angles etc on the day. ( svg here ) 239/262

I was designing some cards for birthdays and things and I came up with this, bit early for Halloween but it's cool so I thought I'd post it now ( svg here ) 238/261
