I am open to ideas -- but I may be moving soon, so I might not have my workshop or my laser for very long.

Please, let me know what you're interested in. If you don't want to talk about it publicly, you're welcome to email me (danreetz ///gmail) or PM.

I've had a lot of requests for a custom, heavy stylus. I have some ideas on how to make them, but nothing concrete. So far, the custom stylus is top on my list.

Heh, awesome! Thanks for the report.

FYI to everyone: I will probably be moving around the middle of next month. During that time, I won't have the laser and may have to temporarily close the store. Before I go, I'll try to cut enough new stands to cover orders during that time, but I can't guarantee anything.

I got my laser stand today in the UK. Looks awesome.
However, the acrylic stand doesnt go well with my case http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...ef=oss_product. The case slips on the stand. The wooden one is better in that respect.

Any recommendations for a case which works well with the stand?

Hmm. I don't have a case for my N900, so I'm not sure I can help you. How does it slip? Maybe I can make some kind of non-slip version for the phone itself, too.

Cases are always a problem for this sort of thing because they are all slightly different sizes.

UPDATE: I bought one of the hinged aluminum PDAir cases, and I may make a custom stand to accommodate it.

Also, all orders (save one) have been shipped.

Today I was pleasantly surprised with a small envelope coming from the USA. I immediately recognized that it must be the stands that were sent to me 2 months before (feb 11). On feb 19 it was in Bolivia and now (apr 12) it is in The Netherlands. Unfortunately I have no further tracking information, but I'm curious where the envelope has been for the past 7 weeks...

When fake says 'worldwide shipping' he is serious about it...

i would like a waterproof plinth for my sharks.
at the moment whenever I try to use them to make laser etched stands, they swim around uncontrollably.

please let me know how you manage to keep your sharks with laser beams focused for long enough to produce cool things.

Holy crap, that is the longest (and most confused) shipping time on record. One package to the UK was lost for 20 days, but eventually arrived. Wish you had contacted me, I'd have sent you another set! But very glad you got them, in the end.

lcuk, I have the rare zinc selenide sharks that focus laser beams by virtue of their construction. I got them from Instructables.

Announcing a very limited edition product: A laser-cut microfiber stand wrap for my N900 stands.


The edges of this laser-cut stand wrap are cut and welded by the laser; they should never, ever fray. I personally stitched them together using a Bernina 1130 and 100% poly thread. All stitches have been doubly reinforced and all threads melted back to prevent the possibility of stitches coming undone.

Although these are made of microfiber, they should not be used as screen cleaners because of the melted/welded edges.

This is how the stand parts fit inside:


The wrap comes with a silicone band to tie it up:


Here it is by itself:

Size comparison 2:


There are ONLY SEVEN of these for sale. Although they are TOT4LLY AW35OM3, I did not enjoy making them very much, and they took a lot of time to make, so I will probably not make more.

Here are all 7. There are actually 8, but one is reserved for a certain member.

These are $9 each, including worldwide shipping. Available here.

To whomever is responsible for the tags on this thread: I dropped out of school today. So you can get rid of that "stay in school" tag.

I'll be taking a new job across the country, and moving the second and third week of May. I'll probably close the store during that time.

Wish me luck, everyone.

I use the wooden stand now a few weeks and can't complain, it felt already down and I even stepped once on it and its still holding everything just fine. I received the mail already 1 week after I made the order, which is not bad for a delivery from the US to Germany.

Just ordered a acrylic stand together with the microfibre stand wrap, feel free to send #1387 and #1388 together
