Endless Sketchbook

Step 12Usage and evolution of design

Usage and evolution of design
This prototype is really fun to have. I'm sure that a number of tweaks here and there will make the endless sketchbook work even better.

It's pretty easy to come up with features and additions to the device while working on it. I would have liked to show a mobius strip version so you could draw on both sides of the paper.

I've always wanted to attach a motor to the sketchbook so when you are finished you could hang it on the wall and watch as it slowly loops through. That will certainly be built into the next design.

How cool would it be to put different loops through the endless sketchbook. You could make a loop out of a bunch of photos or perhaps this might be a new way to publish the paper or comics.
It would have been great to write this whole instructable on one loop of paper.

Atom had suggested having a back light for you the paper backing. That would be awesome!

I would love to make a version out of clear plastic sometime so you can see how the paper moves through.

You could fit a couple of loops of paper inside and have 2 sides to the sketchbook.

I also would love to build a version out of nice wood and have it be a piece of art on it's own. Perhaps one day I'll find a tool that will let me make accurate cuts.

I would also like a version with a handle that advances the paper. How cool would it be to see a gigantic version of the sketchbook.

There are so many features and items I would like to do to improve this project that I could keep talking about this for a very long time.
I hope that you will share with me your ideas and thoughts on this project.

This is just the first of many endless sketchbooks to be created.

If you need help with creating your endless sketchbook or if you want a bunch of drill bit rings or just want to talk about this project you can find my contact information on the sidebar at http://www.mohdi.com
