I came for the 3D printer, but fell in love with the laser cutter.

Completed Projects

Tak Set

Cheapass Games worked out a set of rules for the fictional game Tak, from Patrick Rothfuss' Kingkiller Chronicles - that world's version of chess or go. They published the beta rules for free and ran a Kickstarter, but I thought why not make my own set.

The board is laser-engraved, the pieces are all laser cut, and I'll probably keep coming back to this one with different piece shapes etc.

Current status: complete. Need to play it for a while and see if I want to make another set or change any parts of this one.

Pipe Dream Projects

Northumbrian smallpipes

Is it possible to make an acceptable chanter on an Ultimaker? Can I model such a thing?
