A padhack (device which converts arcade control signals into input that can be recognized by game consoles) that I built for myself recently. I decided to treat it as a portfolio project, so I strove for a high quality professional-looking product.
The whole thing is custom designed around the components (2x Akishop PS360+ PCBs and a Jammaboards JB-2 fingerboard). The top and bottom plates are laser cut acrylic, with my personal logo etched into the surface. It came out much nicer than I was expecting, and I've had several requests to build them for others.

Hackerspace Hack42 Arnhem was invited to demonstrate our style at Rozet's Open House 2015. One of the things they requested, was a live demo of our 2D laser-engraver which we used to engrave our logo in our infamous Dossier Verkade (part I) (and part II)... back in 2012. This portable DIY laser-engraver had been committed to the scrapyard long ago, and our current models either aren't very portable, or in non-working condition. Thankfully, Hackerspace Techinc Amsterdam loaned us a cute portable lasercutter to be able to engrave a single cookie on-site. We fabricated a nice shield for it (actually, for the visitors' eyes) and we pre-made quite a large batch of cookies with our own engraver. Mission Accomplished.

SA007 built this Air-Assist upgrade for the JD40W Lasercutter from spare parts, junk and stuff laying around.
It works its magic by blowing a steady jet of air in the path of the laserbeam, cooling the project-to-be-cut (reducing the amount of collateral damage caused by the heat of the laser-beam) and blowing away smoke and vaporized materials (reducing nasty residue build-up on the project's surface area).
SA007 did a comparison with and without the Air-Assist jet, the results are awesome; the cuts are way more clean, as can be seen here.

This is a prototype for a larger Shopbot project!
You can "erase" some cheap crayons from smooth paper by scraping the wax away with a sharp tool or a fingernail.
Quite an upgrade compared to what it used to look like.

made a nice small speaker box for my wife.
she wanted some small speakers she could use to listen to her favourite airplay music around the house/garden.
made a nice "handbag-design" for the speakers and fitted a raspberry-pi with wifi and a usb soundcard for better sound and the amplifier in it.
design was made by me in inkscape.
lasered out of 3mm plywood at the fablab nuernberg.
the raspberry pi runs after this instructable: www.instructables.com/id/raspbAIRy-the-RaspberryPi-based-...

Come make your own gadget, robot or wearable art with Arduino at Tam Makers!
We hosted a number of maker classes and workshops for adults and teens in our makerspace at Tam High School. During our Arduino 101 classes and ‘You Can Make It’ workshops, participants learned to build new projects using the popular Arduino boards, with guidance from our staff and other community members.
Many of our members are experienced makers, who are happy to share what they know. Some of the cool maker projects they built together include a graceful robot spider, an eagle god with creepy eyes, an Arduino-powered garage opener, a Wifi server on a chip, and more.
If you are interested in creating your own maker project with the help of others, join our Maker Clubs on Wednesday evenings from 6 to 9pm in the woodshop at Tam High School in Mill Valley.

WASHINGTON (July 27, 2013) Dan Barlow, a programmer with the National Institute of Mental Health, monitors an automated drill press mill as it carves out a circuit board design he has programed at HacDC.

I have been using the laser cutter to cut words out for gifts. This one was schwag that was left over after one of the fashion shows. The font is Zapfino, with canals removed from the font to support the counters. That was done in illustrator. I am planning on actually making a proper font out of that technique: Stencilino.
One patron asked if the laser cutter in the Innovation Lab could be used to engrave a pumpkin - so we tested it. The answer is yes.
I just put up an installation of work at Eyebeam for Studio Visits. This is work I have been producing over the last 6 months. The work is primarily old found books cut with the laser cutter, as well as some laser cut drawings.
Along the right side of the wall are laser cut drawings of security patterns from the inside of security envelopes.
We've put together an Instructable to accompany our open source robot platform.
Taking you through the steps from boxes of bolts and 4'x8' sheets of acrylic to lovely kits ready to be shipped.

This poster explores dynamic spatial associations created through intricate macro and micro patterning.
object: 11" x 22" poster
fabrication technique: lasercutter on blotter paper
total time: >5 minutes from beginning to milling | 130 minutes to lasercut
Always fans of unusual requests we were tasked to see if we could come up with some interesting keyrings for a classy countryside retreat.
After having a good old look on t'interweb at what was generally available I eventually came across glass-look acrylic that can be laser cut. It has a slight green tinge to it and looks just like glass without being so fragile. Classy. Combine that with our symmetrical 'HH' design and you're good to go. Almost. Getting access to the laser cutter proved trickier than usual given covid precautions but I eventually managed to get it all sorted. Now they live in a house, a very big house in the country...
As a side note there was a couple of bits of scrap acrylic lying around so I cut a couple more - one from yellow and one from clear acrylic - and, I think you'll agree, they look cheap and plasticky by comparison to the glass look ones. My work here is done.
Cheers

Our middle-school students at Tam High are building a City of the Future together, using arts and electronics to make a model of what our world may be like in 100 years.
In our seventh class, students continued to work in teams to make public spaces for their city: underwater mines, rich and poor areas, surface rubbles and skyscrapers for the rich.
In their post-apocalyptic city of the future, called 15A, the rich are separated from the poor, who mine the sea floor and are oppressed by a government run by machines. This week’s creations included a new fence between rich and poor, a toxic river, trees and bushes.
I am teaching this after-school course with my partners Geo Monley and Cynthia Gilbert. They filled in for me for this class, as I was at a maker ed convening the day of the class. These pictures were taken two days later, with our art cart in a storage space.
We are really happy to see our students so engaged in this project. They are developing a wide range of skills, from creative expression to science and engineering. And they are learning to create interactive art with simple electronics, in a playful and collaborative way that makes learning more fun.
