Sandbox user Chirag Patel worked very hard to get this complex, multi-part print completed. He chose this velociraptor model from thingiverse.com, which you can see here, in part because its complexity would push his 3D printing skills further. The final results look great, and it really showcases how multi-part prints can come together into…

In association with Foulab, a local hackerspace, Sandbox regular Anghelos Coulon and your favorite Sandbox Technician Sean (Tailor) Cooney built a quantum air hockey table. It was a big hit at last week’s Montreal Mini Maker Faire. Check out the video and tweet from Kid Koala here.
Ever found that rolling a dice was simply not dramatic enough for you? Or maybe you have serious doubts about your friend’s rolling ethics? Sandbox user Michael Luger solved this problem by printing this epic dice tower. Check out the original design on Thingiverse.
Sandbox volunteer Mordechai Zirkind (Mottel) built his own emoji keyboard for Mac from largely 3D printed components. Mottel used this project as an opportunity to learn about both 3D printing and programming boards (it’s also super fun).
Not every great project to come through the Sandbox starts off here. Daron Kasbar had already built his electric longboard before discovering the Technology Sandbox, but he made use of the Sandbox to make it waterproof. Kasbar shared this picture of his longboard and its controller with us.
