While I was surfing a design blog recently, I came across an ad for an injection moulding company, offering fast prototyping of plastic parts. It also had some great guidance for designing elements for injection moulding. What really caught my eye was the offer of a free demo piece - the Protomold Torus. Basically a three section doughnut moulded in transparent colored plastic, with each section showing the various connectors and bits that can be produced and an accompanying booklet to explain how and why they are made. You may wonder what the hell this has to do with space, but again, its my personal obsession with colour that attracted me and the fact that it looks like an abstract alien space station! and it was free! Result!
Just to bring the post back to normality and with a slight nod back to aliens and colour, heres a cool new generation Dalek I picked up for 99p in a local discount store - clockwork and it whizzes about with the eyestalk waving! If you have a B & M Bargains near you, i'd get down there and start building that Dalek army!
