Made a fixture to put a slight offset in a part I make. Works like a charm.

I made some paper! I mean, technically I made recycled paper from existing scrap paper.

Along the way I also made a 3D printed mold and deckle so I could make the paper because sometimes you need to make the tools you need to make the thing you want to make.

Cut some new stands for my boards and a display stand for my bottle openers on the mogul.

In my quest to find an LED driver that will work over any voltage from 5 to 50, I found a buck converter small in size and cost ($0.15 each)

That efficiently drives one to 5 LEDs efficiently.

Here is the prototype board I etched using the laser cutter for masking and basic chemicals to etch.

Yes, that's a standard sized LED :-)

Finally finished this shadowbox based on the movie poster. It is my love letter to AKIRA, HONDA, and CUP NOODLE. 

I used a lot of different techniques here like, airbrush, hand painting, model building, 3d printing, paper appliqué, decal printing, and woodworking. 

It was a fun process. There’s a full build video on YT.

The feel I was going in the project and the video is heavily themed around the design imagery, sounds, and feel of AKIRA, landmark dystopian 1980s anime.
