I rarely post, but this is soemthing personal for me. I’ve spent a good portion of this year working on my first “product” as a maker. This is an amiibo shelf I’ve designed and made entirely myself!

https://lychansubscribe.etsy.com


I used mosou black for the black hole effect

Used acrylic rods to act as a light pump for the floaty bits orbiting the black hole

And a LOOOOT of LEDs

Please consider buying one as they become available! They’d make an amazing gift for anyone who likes smash brothers or amiibo in general

UPDATE 11/24/2023: Finally back in stock! Also, forgot to mention the blue parts are actually color shift as well.


Update 12/25/2023 spent all of Christmas resupplying the store. Ive been covering all My costs, but not by enough to have a surplus of materials. It also takes several hours to assemble each one. With all that in mind I will be raising the price on these going into next year. However the 5 I put together now will go for the current price. So if you’ve been thinking about it this is your last chance before the price increases a bit. I know a lot of people have favorited it so I wanted to make one last batch before I raised the price so no one feels like they missed out.

Hopefully I’ll be able to have some new designs in the shop early next year as well!

Update 02/18/2024

Wow! It’s been a minute, Ive been resdesigning the internal components to make everything easier and faster to assemble, unfortunately the current batch succeeded in the exact opposite of that! I’ve also replaced the little screw-on connector as seen in the video with a more polished looking barrel Plug receiver and found a new printer for my backgrounds to make them scratch resistant. I have 4 fully assembled and available for sale as of today and I have a few left to assemble in this batch.

Update 6/6/2024

Went to Romania to meet my extended family. But I am back and have more shelves in stock!

STORY TIME:

While making and upgrading my final destination shelf(I am now on version 3.5), someone contacted me and asked if I could make a full 360 version. I told him I could probably do so, but since all the wiring is hidden behind the background I couldn’t make it light up, my 3d printing setup means the final size would be slightly smaller and.. Of course. It would cost more.

That guy said he still wanted me to work on it.

I was able to design and get him exactly what I promised in about 1 month. But personally I want satisfied, there’s a certain level of impact I want my creations to have. So several more months of R&D (and the original commissioners blessing) later I present … THIS

It floureces, glows in the dark, rotates in two directions around a stationary base…. I’m really proud of how much I was able to squeeze in here!

Also I got some help to make a fancier video.. I hope you all like it!

there should be an episode of mob psycho where an orchestra somewhere is panicking because their conductor has been killed by an evil spirit and reigan shows up thinking he and mob would exorcise the spirit but mob doesnt show up for his own reasons so reigan calls him while standing in front of the orchestra. Mob doesn’t answer so reigan goes on to leave him a very long voicemail explaining the situation but while hes doing so, all his hand movements make the orchestra think hes the replacement conductor. And so they start playing to his hand movements which results in a shockingly stunning and unique performance from this orchestra. People talk about it forever. It goes down in history as a moment that changed music forever etc etc

#reigen turns around and the spirit is weeping with joy at the beautiful song like "music has peaked there's no more to be done" #and reigen is like "so you'll stop killing people now?" #and the spirit is like "oh no that means i'm going to kill the entire orchestra so they never try to make music again. and also you" #and then right before killing him to death the spirit pops like a balloon revealing mob standing right behind it #who says "sorry i was in the bathroom"ALT
