Quad-Rotor

Hey guys! Today's model is something that's gonna take a little bit of electrical know-how! We've got a quad-rotor today, basically exactly what you had if you ever played the game Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, just without the guns. If you can do the electrical work, this is a really cool project and a really fun thing to have if you can do it right.

Almost Infinite

Hey guys! Today I've got more of a fun little desk ornament! If you really want to show off that creative spirit of yours, be a true Backyard Tinkerer, then make this! It's a wheel that turns off momentum, which will never run out in this case!

Iron Man Mask / Arc Reactor

Hey guys! Back again and today's more of a nerd day! Stumbling across it, I found the Iron Man mask and thought of the arc reactor right after that, I thought that the two really fit well together and would be a little simpler than making the whole suit!

Lightman Productions

Hey! Today I've got a little bit of a different link, while searching for the model for today's post, I came across a Shapeways page that peaked my interest. The person or persons running this page had some really cool products and I wanted to show you guys! They're relatively cheap for what you're getting and I even bought one of these for myself!
So I hope you go and check it out and I hope you like them! I contacted the designer and I hope to make some more posts later when they put out more!

Wooden Snake Automata

Hey! Back again for the next model, the wooden snake. Now it sounds a little odd, and it is, but it's also entertaining! If you ever get bored, have a little spare time, or wanna make your kid a neat little toy, this is for you!

Ping Pong Table

Hey guys! Day 4 of the marathon and today we've got a ping pong table! Sounds kinda dumb I know but if you can look at a professional model you can save yourself at least $100 on going out and spending one and on top of that you can make it a fun project for you and one of your buddies!

iPhone Case

And we're continuing the marathon! Today we've got a sweet case for your iPhone to show off your true spirit as an engineer! You can either do plastic molds or try to make that CNC machine from the other day and you'll be set! Another option is going to http://www.shapeways.com and ordering it from there after you put the design onto the site.
