Scratch Build – In Progress Project: Ice Cream Headache

Remember back in day when I did a CraftStick Airplane PC? Well, even though a lot of people hated that project and wished I never did it. I still thought it was fun and wanted to revisit the idea. This time, however, I will make a case of craftsticks!

1st side is done



I don't want the case to be any wider than a CD/DVD drive



So I started by adding the lip on which the drive rests on



Like so....



Then I created the top and bottom of the case just wide enough





Second side is done



I use extra drives to stand it up



Then I make the lip wider



And stand both sides up



Then carefully add the top



Next comes the bottom. Adding the PSU helps press down the sticks for the glue to dry



The bowing sides will go away when the rest of the supports are added



Time to build the supports. This will cover the area below the DVD drive



Then the lip to the sides where the front will rest



Once it's added, I rest drives on top to even out the glue



After just four hours, I'm nearly done

 

All I can say is NOOOOOOOOO!!1

 

Awesome idea. Mods don't need to be professional to be great, it's the creativity that counts.

 

Ye I like the idea a lot!
When I was a child I used to save all my ice-cream sticks and make stuff out of them, 15x15x15cm cottages bigger windmills etc. plan was to make a small village.

The whole plan however got sacked when we found out that our cat, that we had been looking for, for over a week, had accidentally been locked inside the shed where I stored the ice-cream sticks. Poor thing had to use something as a litter-box and the pile of sticks were (apparently) the perfect place.

 

Insane! lol!

heh heh heh, cool build.

sub'd.

 

class, change the name though - Brain Freeeeeeeeeeeeeze

 

That's a good one. It took me a while to think of the one I finally chose.

That is pretty funny

A few years back I made a few buildings and a playground for my kids to use with their 2" Care Bears

 

funneh project.

There's a "cool mind" behind it. So, even Satan like ice cream, huh?

 

So I measured out the back IO ports and PSU



And started on it



I then cut out some sticks for the front bottom to even it out



Here's just a shot of what the inside looks like



Next I framed out the CD drive. In this case beige really is the perfect color



Look at the front closely and you'll see the "V" pattern I glued on to break up the normal look of the craft sticks



I'm still working on the back though

 

lol you must eat loads of ice-cream xD

 

This is completely mental. A cool idea, even if it doesn't look great.

 

How great can anyone really make this look?

I created a small bridge over the PSU to anchor the rest of the back to



Then added some sticks to hold the PSU in place



And I am done! Enjoy the rest.










Thanks for Watching

 

It looks good for a case made out of lolly sticks.

 

And that's pretty good too. Thanks

 

You didn't even wait for the glue to dry for the final pics.

 

I know. . . . . .

 

Why? Boredom or is it used?

 

Haha, that's awesome! Have a little rep
