KINETIC COASTERS with a TWIST! Laser or 3D Print some DIY Magic
Today I’ll show you how to create these amazing self-moving Kinetic Coasters.
I’ve created loads of designs for you to make, in fact, so many that you can mix and match them to create literally thousands of unique combinations and effects. Keep them in their natural colour or paint and decorate them however you desire.
Not only can you satisfy your fidgety fidding fingers by turning any coaster by hand - the base, of course, conceals a hidden secret. Place a coaster against the base and it will automatically detect the presence of a coaster and begin to turn it for you automagically. And thanks to some tiny concealed magnets you connect several up in chain and watch as they all turn mesmerisingly beneath your glasses.
This is made possible by the tiny DC motor, batteries and sensors inside the base.
These coasters are a great way of expressing yourself at home or work, make a lovely personalisable project to gift, and are an ideal activity to assemble with younger makers.
The ones above in the video have been made from Plywood cut on the Creality Falcon 2 22w diode laser, and yes, 3D printing them is also possible, though I feel that there is a certain charm about the wooden materials for coasters. Stick around because at the end of the video I'll also explain how I use this laser to easily create custom glassware for gifts. 🙂
