iPad Refrigerator Magnet Mount

I recently finished my latest creation on the Up! 3d printer,  magnetic iPad mounting brackets. This should be of interest to that small cross-section of people with 3d printers and an iPad.  Just turn the bracket sideways to print it on a makerbot or reprap. If you use a screen protector or skin on your iPad you will need to sand down the interior of the clip to compensate. Glue a large diameter neodymium magnet or several smaller magnets to the back. I would not use smaller than .25 inch diameter neodymium magnets. If you use that diameter magnet,  you will need 4 per bracket to have enough grip not to slide down a vertical surface. You'll need four brackets total. They were designed to be used as a rudimentary shock absorbers and spill guards as well so they can live on your iPad. All of this can be yours! Just head over to Thingiverse and download the Magnetic iPad Mount to start printing away! Send me your pics if you print it! Feel free to pay me for my work, just click the button below.

The Ultimate DIY iPad Arcade

So I've finally finished all I am going to do building-wise on the iPad arcade cabinet. All of the features I want are there. I'll put up a video of me using to play some emulators as soon as Zottd releases Classic controller support. In the meantime I have new pics and a couple of videos highlighting most of the features. The only thing I have left is some sweet artwork covering the wood. I am very happy with how it came out. I am going to be looking into some manufacturing avenues so this may eventually make it to market. I may also sell a DIY kit that comes with everything (like pre-drilled pre-cut wood and fasteners etc) but the electronics if people show any interest in something like that. Let me know what you think. Pictures and video below.

iPad Arcade Construction 98% Complete

Got some new pics for ya.

Video to come as soon as I'm done with the last bit. All I have left is to wire it up to the Wii controller and secure the speakers. After that all that's left is polish. I have a neat idea for the artwork. I'm going to put a Chinese dragon  on the back with brass tacks as it's scales. I might have one or two more features on the way but the video will go up as soon as the wiring is done.

Ipad

So I got an Ipad.  The lack of flash isn't such a bitter pill with netflix and crunchyroll on there.
