With the glorious re-launching of my laser, I broke it in with a new design. This is a design meant mostly for small books and is inspired by Gothic Architecture.

This is a design meant mostly for small books and is inspired by Gothic Architecture, inspiration drawn from Cologne Cathedral, and Church of St Barbara Kutna Hora. There are several flying buttress and the "windows" are done in the style of a Flamboyant arch. The small gargoyles are designed after the hunched Notre Dame gargoyles.

Lately I've been doing mostly mechanical projects, there satisfying to build, but usually very time consuming. This project turned out pretty good, and was a quick turnaround, I went from idea to physical thing in the same day.

As usual the files to make your own are over at the project page, check it out. You can also buy a set over on the Donate page.
