Humane Mouse Trap

john — Tue, 02 Nov 2010 22:16:43 GMT

I designed this humane mouse trap to deal with a couple of mice that were cohabiting with us at the time, and it worked well. It's my intention to fill out this page with instructions and photos of the finished product. Until then, it should be relatively easy to put it together if you do cut it out. The material I originally used was 3mm MDF from the New Zealand hub. It requires a P2 size piece of material. You use the stand to setup the trap, place some peanut butter/cheese at the other end. The mouse walks up the trap, causing it to tip slightly, which then closes the door and traps the mouse (humanely). If you do get this cut out - would love to hear any feedback. And photos too!

Stiletto Laptop Stand

Inspired by the heeled footwear of the same name, the Stiletto Laptop Stand snugly holds your laptop in a wooden stand. It lifts your laptop screen up to eye level and provides an area to place your documents and pens for handy, and easy, work flow. Once you try it you'll won't be able to work without it. It can be self-assembled without any glue or other fittings. Made from thin MDF, this is one of the most unique laptop stands you can have on your desk. Options include engraving your logo or name on the front or back panels. Anything you want can be engraved. Get in touch if you have a special request or if you don't see your shipping destination listed. Assembly instructions video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mghGsfAUrA

Whiteboard bookcase

This was my first real go at a 3D product with Ponoko. Motivation came from wanting a bookcase that would fit inside that particular nook next to the kitchen. My wife chose the material and I just tried to make it all work :) Features differing sized shelves for things like large books, vinyl, DVDs, CDs, speakers, medium books, small books, etc.
