Description
Find your inner peace through engineering.
Introducing the Cyber Zen, a fully motorized sand garden designed to bring calm to your desktop. Assembly is straightforward and is complete in under 25 steps, for roughly 1 hour of build time.
In addition to all the parts listed in the BOM, You will also need (2) 200mm long 5mm dowel rods, I purchased mine on Amazon but anywhere is fine. Just make sure you roll them and pick the most straight ones out of whatever batch you buy.
Advanced Gearing: A Double Helical Rack & Pinion for the X-Axis and a Conical Worm Drive provide high gear ratios for smooth movement and efficient power.
Beginner Friendly: Don't let the complex design fool you, all the complexity is baked in. This project is designed for easy assembly. With fewer than 25 steps, you can go from a pile of parts to a working garden in one hour.
Compact Design: Self-contained within a 63mm tall base it does not take up much space and can easily slip under desk risers for storage.
Easy Controls: Just sync up to your existing Cyber Brick Standard Remote! Left Joystick controls the X axis, or linear motion, Right Joystick controls the Y axis, or rotational motion.
