15-Channel Array RoboMusicBox ...

Yes, even this design can be downloaded absolutely FREE once I am fully funded for my RoboGuts S.T.E.A.M. Education Program Kits; IF each viewer donates just $5 I'll be funded almost overnight and then all my designs become FREE downloads! The quickest way to get all my .STL files FREE is to donate $5 to help fund school materials... once I have $3,500 I'll convert all these files to FREE downloads. https://www.gofundme.com/roboguts-kits-lessons This is an array of 15 servos each individually operating a little laser pointer holder that swivels back 'n forth... the idea is to program the swivels to correspond to music you hear playing... Sorry, the box cannot be made on a MakerBot so easily, but it could if it was cut-up like puzzle pieces and made as interlocking parts... which would be really neat. But you can see that a MakerBot is needed for the specialty pieces... See it work; http://www.r2pv1.com/media/Rob... This is another of many entries to the makezine.com/go/makerbot contest... blog.makezine.com/archive/2010/04/makerbot_giveaway.html Instructions: I suggest laser cutting the big flat parts from plastic or even cardboard. MakerBot the odd 3D pieces... then go buy a lot of servos and laser pointers... and a small programmable microcontroller... write a simple program that allows you to enter notes 'n beats to cause the laser pointers to swivel back 'n forth to the music. If you successfully make this with a 3D printer please send me the build-file and machine type so it can be uploaded here for others to use. MakerBot the 3D parts and send me a set.
