Quirky Projects. Quirky People.
Friends wanted a wedding cake shaped like a D20 die. We made a 3D model of half a die, printed it in PLA, created a silicone mold, baked the cake, and covered it with fondant cut with a 3D printed cutter.
This rotating platform, designed to fit the base of an artificial tree, rotates 3 times per hour and brings power to the tree through a slip ring. Made from wood, 3D printed gears and motor mounts, a gear motor and skate bearings.
We tried to modify an RC boat with a GPS and software to have it be self-driving. Many of our projects take way too long; for this one, we limited ourselves to one weekend, no matter what. It didn't work, but it was fun and we learned a lot.
My friend has a tattoo that looks like a circuit board. I made a real circuit board that looks just like it—but actually works!
A 3D printed fountain based on one I saw in a Japanese Garden in Portland. My first attempt at making something that moves water.
Rarely does building a treehouse require welding, grinding, painting, riveting, bending, crimping, plumbing, brazing, laser cutting, sound design, printed circuit board fabrication, 30,000 lines of C code, distributed network protocols, sewing and embroidery. Ours did.
I built a small test rig to test the shutter speed of the mechanical shutter on a Lomography camera.
A fun, light-up ornament for the cyclists in your life. Originally inspired by a friend's tattoo!
A 16-button keypad with all the software and mounting hardware to make adding it to your Arduino project a snap.
An Arduino shield that lets you quickly and easily add old-style (DB15) PC joysticks to your sketches.
A circuit board that increases the battery life of your Ikea Duktig Stove to years. We also sell replacement buttons.
