Sorry about the re-upload! We wanted to show some of the more intricate designs that the Sandscript is capable of creating. And yes, it does include two different sized stainless steel balls so you can choose between the thickness of the lines created.

You put a music over to hide the loud scratching sound you get from this, nice one

This looks like it would be incredibly relaxing, like an automatic zen garden.

[RelaxumSonos]

Wow, kind of relaxing and calming, thanks for sharing! :)

[romajikaiser]

It would be cool if you guys had a USB port and you hook up you laptop, tablet etc and you can upload and image and it traces the image out

Seriously...You want to sell a million of these things? Make the balls look like sandworms from Dune...maybe just some kind of flexible skin to put over them. I mean don't get me wrong, metal balls drawing in the sand is cool for a few minutes, but watching the production of spice play out in front of you...well that takes thinking like a geek to a whole new level.

I have some ideas to upgrade my sandscript, like putting a thin piece of felt under the sand to muffle some of the noise. I'd also like to put a top on the unit that I could see through. Has anyone created a top for the sandscript and is able to offer advice?

[lilyreiner]

The link does not go to this product. Do you not sell this anymore?

[peterhayman]

the things i would do if i had no cats...

[vitbuddh]

Wouldn't this defeat the purpose of a zen garden if you don't draw the pattern yourself? And then clear it yourself?

hello. please help more about the convert the Cartesian coordinates into cylinder i will been stuck on this topic for a few weeks please guide me thanks.

[UzzyT.]

So is there a way of giving it pre-existing movements that someone else came up with half way across the world and have my device create them?

[ahmada]

Hello.
I have a question for me. When the angular design reaches 360 degrees and the next step is the angle of, say, 10 degrees, the arm of 360 degrees starts to reverse to turn to a new point, which will ruin the plan drawn on the sand.
How should this work to prevent this problem?
Thanks.

Wonder what it would look like with colored sand

[MazMozdy]

Can I create or draw specific patterns? If so, I am buying this today.

Can anyone answer?

[JbossGaming]

[theoverseer]

[kevinisawake]
