Hey guys. This will be my entry for the Back To School contest, so vote for it please =)

Anyway, this is a binder, but with Knex! Ill be honest, its not the most amazing thing ever. It used the 'binding' part out of a real binder, and 2 small zipties to hold it into place. The pivot connections are actually very strong and so is the the overall thing. It can hold the standard amount of paper in it (approx. 200-300 sheets)

I hope you like it, please vote, rate, comment and subscribe! Thanks.

This is the front cover of the binder, very simple. Follow the pictures and steps below.
  1. Make this
  2. Make sure there is a spacer there
  3. Make this
  4. Make sure of the spacers there again
  5. Take them both and line them up like so
  6. Attach them together as shown
  7. What you should have

That was easy, next step!

Hiyadudez (author) says: Sep 21, 2010. 11:50 PM
I made it the almost exact same size as a normal binder.
dianaw says: Sep 19, 2010. 8:36 AM
wow-
pretty cool.
I don't know what KNEX is- but I like it.
Clever use of the zipties.
64runners says: Sep 11, 2010. 7:39 PM
Imagine bringing it to school one day. I'd laugh at the result.
slithien says: Sep 9, 2010. 11:37 AM

It doesnt need any work, and its not flimsy at all. Dont go around comment about things when you dont even know that what your commenting is right. And no, it would not break.

Hiyadudez (author) says: Aug 27, 2010. 6:44 AM
Are you stupid or something? Of course it would probably break if you driopped it on the floor, but in that comment you mentioned no floor. You said it would just break, so you're wrong.

Nearly every knex model would break if you dropped it on the wooden floor. Whats your point?

Hiyadudez (author) says: Aug 29, 2010. 2:13 AM
Im going to end this conversation right now. This is FINE to carry around, it wouldnt break if you dropped it, and lastly, dont reply to this comment cause i just wont reply back.

For the same reason using "It's my first instructable" isn't an acceptable excuse for posting a block trigger gun any more.

~KGB~ says: Aug 23, 2010. 3:48 PM
its ok... but why would you break something to make something that does the exact same thing? dont you think its kinda pointless???
Hiyadudez (author) says: Aug 23, 2010. 4:16 PM
No. Normal binders are boring. Its called creativity.
~KGB~ says: Aug 23, 2010. 4:54 PM

~Aeronous~ says: Aug 24, 2010. 1:50 AM
Could have made the middle section thinner, it is really thick currently by using the common knex handle pattern. 'Part from that, its pretty cool. I still think its cheating using a real metal binder though, you could have just used bendy rods!
Hiyadudez (author) says: Aug 24, 2010. 8:30 AM
Its not exactly cheating, its using your initiative. Anyway, thanks!

Never underestimate the power of K'nex and rubberbands.

knexsuperbuilderfreak says: Aug 23, 2010. 2:58 PM
first comment i made something kinda like this to..
knexsuperbuilderfreak says: Aug 23, 2010. 3:04 PM
and the video is private
Hiyadudez (author) says: Aug 23, 2010. 4:16 PM
Try it now :)
stale56 says: Aug 23, 2010. 3:06 PM
The video is private, we can't see it.
But I think this is sweet. But is there a way you can add folder pockets to this? I think that duct taping folder pockets on here would look a bit tacky. Maybe attach a white rod to a few of the white connectors, and then have a grey rod that will clamp onto the papers (perhaps via a rubberband?).

I'll build it when I get the time (if I have the pieces).
Hiyadudez (author) says: Aug 23, 2010. 4:16 PM
