Step 3: Make

Cut it out, and glue the maze parts to one of the outer layers so that you can test the route.

If you look carefully, you can see in the photos that I had to trim some sections of the maze for the coin to fit - this was largely due to the thickness of the pen I marked the route of the maze, which, in turn, was because the pencil markings didn't show well in the photos.

Once you are happy with the route, glue on the other layer.

As far as Making goes, that's it, but you can also decorate the maze, painting it, or wrapping with coloured paper.

Nice, simple and addictive - 3 thumbs-up, minimum.

Couple of questions:

Just how big is it? I suppose it depends how big your pockets are, but if the 5p is 18mm square, I guess the whole thing's about 70mm square overall...?

Which leads into the 2nd question - what's the lateral clearance?

It's actually 60mm square - the clearance around the coin is around 1mm, but if I won a laser cutter*, the clearance would be even less.



*Not that I'm hinting about votes...

What about the cardboard challenge?

That's why I made a sideshow version.

Thanks.

A laser cutter would be a nice idea...

So might a 3D printer (except, I you'd lose the cardboard)...

What a clever idea! It seems like a fun project. :)

Yes, it is.
