Very cute!
I may have to build some of these for gifts next year… :slight_smile: I can imagine one with a pummer circuit in it. Hmm…

I haven’t played with pummer

I haven’t played with pummer circuits, but this should be a good application. I fit all the electronics on mine inside the copper body, but if you wind up with a larger solar cell like I did (they are about 2.4 x 2.4 in), there’s plenty of room to hide the electronics.

They were really fun to

They were really fun to make. For me the toughest part was soldering with the plumbing torch. I got it down to a system by the end, but I had a lot of re-work on the first few.

I learned to get all the parts in place for one piece and solder at the same time. Otherwise I tended to undo the previous soldering work when I did the next part. So I installed the arms and stand in one go.
