I.Q.B. (I-cube)
The ultimate toddler toy!
After shopping around for toys for our son, I was quite disappointed with the price/longevity/challenge of most toys.
There is some cool stuff out there, but most are utterly simplistic and quickly boring and way too expensive.
So I set out to create the coolest toddler toy ever ;-)
The basic idea is to create a fancy looking enclosure, add lots of buttons, dials, some LED's, a mic and speaker. Hook them up to a micro-controller and voila a reprogrammable toy.
I have been working on multiple aspects at the same time, but I thought it time to start sharing the first part:
The enclosure, a cube made from printed parts and Plexiglas.
While this is not the cheapest option, it will be quite modular during construction and finalizing.
And I expect the end-result to be quite sturdy and up to toddler abuse.
For me this also an excercise of working with Plexiglas again and I was ordering some anyway ;-)
I'll update the project as I move along.

As always, if you don't know what you are doing, don't do it!
