Designing and Laser-Cutting a Custom Paint Bottle Rack
Norm and Tested were given a complete line of Mission Model hobby paints. Norm needed a convenient way of storing them with the ability to carry them back and forth between his home and the Tested studio.
In this video, he shows the process he used for figuring out the solution he needed, sketching it and figuring out design and dimensions, and then laser-cutting and assembling the resulting rack.
This is a nice tool-set to have (including the laser cutter) for being able to design and build a workshop infrastructure that is tailor made to your needs.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
