here are two recovered from the subspace Halloween ball.

Was going for creepy and cool cyborg looking thing.

Clear plastic parts are acrylic. Cut sheet then molded with heat and care. Blue LED’s are imbedded and powered by a combination of Li-Pol and AAA batteries for the older pieces. My new power pack had become 3.7v Li-Pol battery and a constant current driver.  This allows me to simply stack LED’s in parallel with no series resistors.

Subspace Halloween ball. I'm bottom right.

This kit was designed entirely with CAD software. Nothing fancy just take measurements and make curves. Basic pattern making skill here (need to work on that).
Free tools for this would be inkscape and open office spread sheet.

Process behind this is:
            Make some sketch; in my case doodle a plan on some random scrap of paper
            Take measurments
            Use spread sheet to devide according to planned design
            Draw it up in CAD
            Export to laser and cut
Paper parts were made first to test scale and fit (as well as one can test with paper)
Edits made; cut latex.
Hours of gluing and random profanity to assemble everything neatly

Optional things to do:
            Lose sleep
            Rush like hell
            Meet deadline by a hair.

Hexagon pattern is a laser cut appliqué.
Cut using the Site3 Laser (site3.ca)
