Re: DIY Smoothing Station II
Hey, well I know the feeling.
I'm designing a pokemon pokeball for the two boys I have that are poke-crazy. It features 2 halves that pop open to reveal whatever I put inside them. One of the things I plan on making for them for Xmas if I can ever get the catch designed to keep it closed. The actual ball itself was pretty easy, but I need a way to make a spring system to allow the catch to hold the bottom on until pressed in. It needs to be more than one piece obviously, but I'm sketching like mad to get this thing ready. I still have a couple weeks of testing after I get the machine (2 more days!!!) but I'm going to have fun with this one!
I've attached the upper half sphere to show how it will look. Probably about 3in diameter. It will take a while to print, but I think it will be worth it to see their smiles at Xmas!
