I just used normal copy paper.

You can either take a lighter and carefully heat up the top to soften it or try putting the container in a warm water bath. I have just used the lighter method.

I would say after. Make sure the stain is completely dry.

Thanks! I am very happy with how they turned out.

Thanks!

thanks!

oh my gosh yes! It was a struggle!

You could use thing foam to do that but the original was only blocked by the paper pattern. If you were making up your own images then the light would always shine through, other option is to make black wooden pegs

hmm, not sure if there were different models of the toy. I used my sisters hand me down as a kid. All the light shown through when you didnt have the black paper template covering the front. Once that was used and you took it off the light was showing. I did originally use thin foam to block the light but I ran out of time and it didnt really make a difference to the project.

Thanks!

Thanks for the info. 👍🏼

I did. So I layer the piece of plywood with the holes on top of the back piece and just traces the holes on the very end. I went to a local plastic store and had to order the acrylic rods. Thanks. It was a hard project but also fun.

Glad you liked it.

Thank you!

Thanks! Yeah if it was inches I probably wouldn't have even posted it.

I don’t remember the size but this wood was mahogany. You can use plywood for most things but I used a hard wood since it was for my mom.

Thanks. They can’t really complain when they play loud music till 2am.

Thanks. It does make the clean up a lot easier.

It was so hard! I wont be doing it again anytime soon.

I got mine from Home Depot but they sell it on amazon.

I have the file linked to the instructable I did on the mini version. So just go to my profile and you can find it.

Thanks! I do like that they are easily doable by two very different techniques.

Thanks. I mostly did it cause I thought it would be funny. Going into this contest I knew there was gonna be a lot of people entering with greater skills than what I have so I didn't really enter the contest to win. I did it just to participate.

Thanks. I just used semi gloss spray lacquer

Thanks. It would be totally easy to route a part for leds. I used rustoleum super glaze epoxy. It’s like $30 bucks at Home Depot.

Thank you!

Thanks!

oh thanks. I didnt even think about how the size of the spacers could change. Thanks for letting me know.

Thanks! It’s currently my favorite pen.

Thanks! Since it was gonna dot in my desk I tried to think about the design a bit more.
