About: Robotics and Manufacturing Student at RIT. I try to accelerate learning through projects when I have the time. Haven't had much to share in the past few years, but hope to soon!

This is my version of Altoids pool it is similar to something I saw in Popular Science magazine.

Step 1: Supplies Used

  • 3-D printed parts

Attachments

Step 2: Tools Used

  • wire cutters or something to cut chopsticks with
  • scissors for felt
  • tinkercad
  • 3-D printer

Step 3: Design

I started by making a rectangle and cutting cylinder holes in corners. Next I made the triangle. I created a triangle cut a square into the top of it. Copied it shrunk it, extruded it, centered it, and cut it into bigger triangle.

Step 4: Assembly

Print out rectangle and triangle. Cut chopsticks in half. Put electrical tape on bigger ends. Cut holes in felt.
