Making one this weekend to attach to the front of our hutch :D

Just ordered parts to make 3... 1 for me and 2 for my local hacks pace who have 4 printers and 2 people maintaining them

So much need in one little package... The only thing I might change would be to add a battery

Very nice. I'm just sat here thinking that with longer pipes and more plastic, you could easily make a walk in greenhouse

Nice. I was just considering a panorama of pallet town.Or maybe a panorama or hyrule... Of the possibilities

Nice build. Given me some inspiration for a similar project

Just moved and got a games room... Guess what my next big weekend project is lol

Public service announcement: under no circumstances should step 4 be missed. I repeat, step 4 must not be missed.Missing step 4 will ruin your eggs, or at least ruin your day when you realise you passed up on eating baconie goodness

These are amazing :D Saving this to my favourates so I can make some of these laterthankyou for sharing your knowhow :D

I did. I will be doing the "I made it" as soon as I find my camera lol

Just done a bag of 130 marbles. Few things I've learned:larger marbles need longer to heatThey can still crack and pop up to an hour after they have been cooled and are handle able... perhaps I should have cooled them longer but I thourght that just over 20 min in the water would be finesmaller batches heat and cool quicker and more evenly for a better end result

While I have to agree you should always wear safety glasses when doing this kind of thing, I just did it with 131 marbles (thats how many were in the bag I got for cheep) and none exploded. so I would say its a extremely small chance of happening. That said, if it does go wrong, its a high risk of injurty

thats a good idea. You could even put a switch to make sure the lights cant come on while the draw is open. An inline reed switch would make a good option

thats amazing. It wouldnt look out of place mounted in a photo frame on the wall, as long as it did something useful\artistic at the same time

Nice, I was looking for something like this for my 3d scanner project :) thanks a lotBTW, i like the black hot glue, thats cool lol

year and a 1/2 later, my local maker space have just got a powerful laser cutter, i think i might just make one of these... Actually, looking at my dads knife set, I might make a collection of acrylic knifes for different uses :)Thanks again

mmm, cookiestruder

I think im going to make a bobble head low poly pikachue

This might seem like an obvious question, but how are you planning on tricking the printer into thinking that it still has a thermistor attached? Or would you need a thermister on the laser and CNC head too?

the method is the same used in this artilce from makezine (http://makezine.com/projects/pcb-etching-using-ton... to transfer toner...

sorry, the link broke:http://makezine.com/projects/pcb-etching-using-toner-transfer-method/

with a laser printer, you can print the "image" mirrord, and then iron it on like a transfer, That even works on ceramic tiles, but will rub off with time

just downloaded it. Time to get printing.. thankyou

our local recycling centre wont buy cans, they take them for free, but then ship them off elsewhere for recycling, or now they send us a bundle for free.I've been looking at using electric heating elements too, but that'll cost more.As for buying the ingots, the only place localy that sells them are charging way over the odds.Yes, I could actually save money by buying online ect, but staying totally local (which they insist on) its cheaper to do it this way. I spent days costing up

Lovely idea :D I designed similar on my 3d printer not long ago, but yours is way cooler, mine may look mettle but still feels like plastic...

neat idea :D Always have your fidget spinner with you

Took a first prototype to them this morning (not really big enough for their scale, but was just a proof of concept). And our local MP was there. He recons if I get it working, he can get us a pile of cans from the local recycling centre who it turns out just sell the aluminum cans on to someone else to deal with, because it makes "too much slag" for them to bother.So not only am I saving the group money, I'm actually getting support from the local council... I think that counts as a win in my book

Ah, I've been cutting bottles like that for years. I also tend to use a tealight for the heat source. but I can see a sonldering iron being easyer

Nice build. I would love one of these.but alas, I lack your DIY skills.Thankyou for the inspiration though, I may take this along with basics from (https://www.instructables.com/id/Flowerpot-Furnace-a-Home-Foundry/) and make myself one :D

My local craft group buy aluminium ingots, I wonder if I took one of these to them, and showed them how easy it is, if they'd start recycling instead

it can really speed things up if you have a bucket of ice water (or just cold water) too. Heat the bottle with the iron, like this, then dunk it. Dry and repeat

better of using linux and forgetting .exe all together ;)In serious though, knowing how to open diffrent file types in notepad is a useful skill... I'd have gone for a bitmap myself since it acutally contains meaningful data... but still worth knowing

ooo, you've really got me thinking now...My brother loves minecraft, I might have to make him his own mini minecraft garden for a combined birthday/christmas present

you could use coloured resin for some of the gem rocks. or put an LED in one for glowstone :Dthe possibilites are endless :)

simple yet effective :) nicely done :)

this is now on my print list :) thankyou

thats amazing. but to make it truly exquisite you need to put a usb pen or similar inside so it can contain information :) lolnice job. May the force be with you

perfect... I found this while looking for inspiration to help build the project below:https://www.instructables.com/id/Portable-Guest-Rec...an amazing alternative to a directors chair :) Thanks

use a solar pump and it'd be an almost no input system :D lolLove the idea :D will have to make for my garden

I really love this idea... I might just make one of these for my guest bedroom in the new house :D Although, I'm not sure if I can easily get hold of a directors chair... so might have to make my own D:Thanks for the inspiration :D

Im going to be buying my first house soon (I hope, I made my first offer last week) and one of these in my new garden would make moving and decorating a doddle. I could keep funiture and everything in there during the move and renovation...

I really want to make one (well four) of these for my greenhouse... but I dont have a heat gun... I guess its time to put my 3d printer to practical use

haha, now all I need is adesktop garden :D

amazing, I've wanted an aquaponics windowsill system for ages, this will be perfect. Thankyou

this is intresting. I personally spend hours each day trying to circumvent security or take advantage of loopholes (Its my job, I'm a web penetration tester)I'd never seen this before today. I guess now the security guys have got a job in for them when I show them this one lol

having just been outside to measure up, I find out my back seats are actually backed with a steal pannel, not board, so mine will have to be a 4 legged one rather than hinged, but thats still prety good

this is perfect. I have a tiny car (a vauxall aguila if your wondering) but with a young family, and elderly parents, I do a LOT of shopping, and never have enough room. I am now building one of these too.I'll share photos when done :D thank you so much

you got my vote in the contest. Amazing instructable :D I think I'll be making one of these before long... although, I may use a wooden cube, but have the individual parts (gears, switch and spinner) made on my 3d printer

quick bug fix for that step, please insure cat exists and is alive. If the cat does not exist, or is dead please skip this step

I have a couple of these keeping my greenhouse warm (well not at the moment, all the plants are dead so no point)I find 2 tea lights per pot, will last a whole night if i light them at about 5, and will keep the frost off my tomatoes :)

just got a set of these for £1.50 (2 large, 3 small bowls) Now I'm just going to keep an eye out for some really cheap records and do it myself. Thanks

Wow, thankyou. My printer needs an enclosure, and this is perfect. The only thing I would change, is that my printer has a screen, controls and an SD card reader, which I use for most my prints (a laptop in my lean to is not very pratctical), so I need access to the printer with the enclosure on. So I'd make the front a doorstill, amazing ible :) Thanks:)

I got the exact same callipers yesterday from maplin for £9.99 on sale :D Looking at doing this now, so I can use the calipers with my computer :D

Think I might make one of these, but run linux on it, to make it a media centre and controller :)

Important thing to remember. DONT eat the tomato like berries off a normal potatoe, or any bulbus roots on a normal tomato... They are toxic, only a graft like this will produce both that are safe to eat

nice idea. I want to make these to throw at my brother... he is adicted to pokemon go. He cant put his phone down for 5 minutes to have an intelegent conversation.

my little girl would love this. I will have to stick magnets on the back to mount it on the fridge :D

Handy project :D I think I'll make one of these to use :) I'd avoided the masking tape methord because as you say its time consuming. With this I might have to try it again :)

haha, we truely are a daft lot on here arnt we?
