I've decided I spend too much time looking at a computer screen so I have started a project to make a mini revomaze keyring.
My brother recently bought a lathe and milling machine for his workshop and he helped me create a very simple mini revo (ok, he did pretty much all the work at the moment, cos he was showing me how stuff works).
At the moment it consists of a case, the central shaft with a keyring attachment and a small screw which acts as a pin, which moves around the maze.
The idea is to eventually make a fully working mini revomaze with spring, pin and maze which includes traps (and maybe more?).

Re: Mini Revomaze Keyring Project
It ended up a bit smaller than I originally wanted, due to an error setting the machine up. It was supposed to be 1/2 size but ended up 2/5 size.

Re: Mini Revomaze Keyring Project
Yea, i would love to get one someday.
Anyhow, looks like we finally have our "white" revomaze.
Who is up to the challenge of dexterity with this one?

Re: Mini Revomaze Keyring Project
No plans to sell any. I just wanted to see if it was possible and as I collect keyrings I thought it would be so cool.
I emailed Chris to make sure he didn't have any objections to me making a mini version and posting it on the forum. (Don't want to get sued!!).
Hope to eventually make a full metal mini Revomaze out of brass, but I have a lot of things to figure out and test before then.
Once I get set up with a mini lathe and mini milling machine I should be able to get more done.

Re: Mini Revomaze Keyring Project
Looks superb! And the smaller size is definitely better. Makes it more impressive and is more friendly in the pocket.
WHEN you and Chris get together and sell them, I'll take one
