Osamu Iwasaki, the man in Japan¹ who made that great video of his kids creating fun shapes on The Replicator, has another gem for us. Watch him piece together a very simple DIY motor using a battery, some wire, a magnet, a couple beads, and a base made by a Replicator. The video is about 5 minutes long and it shows almost the entire process, and my Estimator in Replicator G (under the GCode menu in the toolbar) tells me it would take about 34 minutes to build the base on The Replicator. I’m calling this a 40 minute project.

The .stl file is available here on Tinkercad. This is a fun project for a rainy day, and maybe you’ll agree with me that the music in this video is just about right for a rainy day, too.
