That's awesome. Great work all around. The only improvement I can think of would be to continue the sheeting down to the bottom layer, but cut a hole in part of it to allow a window to put items into the air stream. With it going all the way down to the shroud it might have enough air pressure to launch those ping pong balls upwards.
Yeah I had a wild theory at one point that maybe a cyclone would make it better. I 3d printed an insert to twist the air. It cut the flow down and made it way worse. I might try it later with less angle in the fins of I get bored one day.
Such a cool build! I especially liked seeing your iterative approach to improving the design. Are there plans or design files available for this project?
I can just about see how to fabricate this, with a lot more 3D printing since I don't have a CNC router. But what transparent sheeting did you use? Thanks!
You can't imagine the visual spatial reasoning boost you will be giving your child with this. Awesomeness!!! Actually, I bet _you_ can :-)
Christmas eve, dude!? Santa's workshop never closes I guess lol - I love his reaction though OMG
Yeah. Lots of mistakes were made. Procrastinating was definitely one. Yeah I loved watching him play with it.
@@SparksandCode You're too hard on yourself that thing came out great. I'm watching and not knowing any of it LOL

where do you have all that equipment from like in 2:15. I always watch these videos and I am like damn, I cant even find a screwdriver

Yeah here you go. I'll add it to the description as well. If you don't use Fusion I can export them as dxf files for you too.

Here’s the plastic.

Where did you get the tube from ? Thanks so much. This so cool.
The link to the plastic used is in the description.
Could you link to what fan you used?
Yeah … I’ll updated the description too.

What’s the gray material you used for wrapping around the circle at the base ?
It’s 3d printed parts the link to the fusion model is in the description.
