[drunkenbum]

Works out about 52 quid for the box, door and button. Then you just need the modmaker 510 and some copper sheet.

thebishman if you go to shape ways and search toaster designs all the stuff will come up. You'll need a body, a door and a button. Just make sure you buy the door and button for the right body lol.

No need for a battery holder. It just sits between the contacts. 510 from modmaker.co.uk and copper from eBay. I used 0.7mm thick. 100mm square sheet will be plenty

You'll need a couple of the little square soy sauce bottles from modmaker too as they're the only ones that fit in the tiny toaster

What 510 seems to be the best? Theres alot of choice on there!

You want the modmaker squonk 510.
The tiny toaster is designed to take it. Whatever one you decide to build go for the modmaker. It's the best one out there

Brill thanks mate


Got any pics of your toaster? And the internals too? If poss

Been playing with colour combos on shapeways...the possibilities are endless lol

[drunkenbum]

thebishman Glens is tidier than this one as this was my first go but I haven't got any pics of his. Maybe glen might have a pic of his

[thebishman]

Ah damn it thats the combo i was going to go for lol.

Ill come up with something different

So the copper work, you literally just cut it with something and then shape it?

Yep, cut it with a pair of tin snips and bend it with a vice or a pair of long nose pliers. The negative plate at the top will need a 12mm hole drilled in it. I used a step drill
