I always love making Halloween costumes, and this is a 2/3 size version of a scissor mechanism poking device I created for my steampunk inventor costume last year. It's 3d printed with (mostly) Proto-pasta stainless steel filament on a Bukito. The original design went through a lot of prototyping, so the parts of this video showing me 3d modeling it (in 123D Design) are super fast recreations to demonstrate the models.

Of course, these videos are almost always heavily edited to keep them moving, and rarely show much troubleshooting. Even at 8x speed, I often pare them down from 15-20 minutes (or more) of footage. Perhaps, one of these weeks, I'll do a failvid where you can see a bunch of the missteps. :)

ah this is awesome! Well done on the video too. Seems like an extremely useful tool. Looks like you used filament and hot glue to make hinges?
