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.

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.

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.
We like #tools of all kinds, of course, but our favorite is the #wrench. So when I needed a tool for forming #Crackers, I asked our resident #roboticist Wi Jia to print me up a #WrenchCookieCutter on the cool little robot he brought in as a companion to our #LaserCutter. This may be the beginning of something #beautiful. Stay tuned.

andersonandersonarchitecture: By the way, I did research food safety and 3d printing, and consulted our #OrganicChemist father. Best to use #PLA plastic, since it is derived from starch and sugars.
A couple of laptop stand designs prototyped by myself and Will Kemper. These all rely on finger joints cut with the laser cutter. The laser cutter takes out a small curf, so this has to be accounted for.
Trying out the new lasercutter at work, I made an enlarged version of an old growth form. This is cut from 6mm black acrylic - works pretty nicely as a heat mat.
While visiting the Metalab hackerspace in Vienna, Austria, I used their laser cutter to cut some more acrylic parts for the PartyLandRemake pinball machine.
I've said before that we sometimes get some unusual jobs, and this was no different.
Produce about a hundred cut out cartoon nuns to be sent around the world. The back story isn't as exciting as it might sound but will be worthy.
Doing the job was a little more challenging than expected as we had to be cost conscious. We surmised that producing them in house was the best option as we've got both a large format printer and a laser cutter. The first trick was determining which material to use. We needed something affordable, light to post, stiff enough to be robust but thin enough to meet the printer's maximum capacity of 0.8mm and of course to be a printable surface. It then also had to fit on the cutter bed and be suitable for laser cutting.
In the end I managed to find a supplier who could do some nicely sized sheets of 750 micron white card. It could have gone wrong in lots of places, but the material did end fitting in the printer and accepted the printer ink very nicely. After a few teething troubles with the cutter alignment we got that template working too and here we are in the last stage of production. :)
Cutting the small clear acrylic plate for the relief print of Ada Lovelace. The blue backing will be peeled off after cutting.
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.
2D to 3D 3 week 'seasonal decoration' project.
Use the laser cutter, CNC mill or water jet cutter to construct a seasonal decoration which can be reconfigured into at least two different designs/products.

Society Against Valentine Extortion Day. A promotion we did because we don't really get behind the commercialization of holidays, even though it probably COULD make us more money.
A paper toy I designed for www.kinektdesign.com/
The model is all lasercut on 1mm cardboard and the joint where to fold is just cut halfway through

We had a blast at the first meetup for Tam Makers, our new makerspace in Mill Valley. We hosted this free event at the wood shop at Tamalpais High School in Mill Valley on June 8, 2016.
A diverse group of people came to the visit the shop, learn about our classes and discuss how to grow our maker community. Participants ranged from experienced artists, technologists, makers and woodworkers, to people interested in learning new skills, as well as high school and middle school students and their parents.
We opened the shop at 6pm and folks started to connect right away, checking out some of our demos, showing off recent projects and touring the space. At 7pm, we gave a presentation on Tam Makers, and talked about our first courses, meetups and tools for adults and youth. We then discussed these programs as a group and received some really helpful feedback.
Most people were very interested in participating in Tam Makers and using the makerspace regularly. They also liked the mix of classes, ranging from maker art to technology and woodworking. Some people signed up for classes on the spot and most wanted to join more meetups. Many offered to volunteer as well. One person said this event had a great community feeling, unlike more commercially motivated makerspaces.
We’re really happy that this first meetup went so well and that so many folks want to participate actively. We look forward to collaborating with our new maker friends very soon!

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.

Inspired by the ‘Candy Fab’ project this little chap is very different to the others, it is ‘edible’ and was produced by ‘Selective Laser Sintering’ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Selective_laser_melting_system...
It has effectively been ‘Printed’ using cane sugar. OK it is not that good but it is my first attempt and things can only get better ( possibly ).
