Hot wire cutter from scraps
Ok, it started with this couple of Herberts
I really shouldn’t have been goaded into making another project. But, like the Beavis and Butthead of tabletop hobbying, @sundancer and @avernos couldn’t help but poke fun at my perfectly good attempts at snagging another Golden Button.
I forget even which project it was, but they made it clear that my offering at the time just wasn’t up to par. Blinking LEDs were yesterdays news, the cool kids expected ever more.
Now there’s nothing wrong with a Bon Jovi song – even Beavis and Butthead would admit they quite liked a tune like “Bad Medicine” – but I felt that’s where my sticking LEDs into miniatures had led to; pretty-good-at-first-but-now- middle-of-the-road, fancy-but-nothing-amazing MTV-friendly dad-rock. Our own sniggering deliquents wanted the tabletop equivalent of Megadeth!
“Movement and audio or no golden button” they bellowed, inbetween headbanging and raising one fist.
So I decided to make my moving Jabba’s Throne. And that was too big to 3d print (on my resin printer) so I made it out of styrofoam.
So this is where it all started.
