How did you make the table make that
Alex_Sisyphus OP t1_iwd6jzs wrote
The table reads SVG and THR files. All I have to do in illustrator is make sure all the lines are connected (like a contour drawing), export it and the table will play!

That’s a fancy Etch-a-Scetch

Absolutely Fabulous.
How long did it take to do that?

Amazing! Do you publish your tracks to the community? I need this for my table :-)

Where can I get a table like this?

Itchy and catchy

Next question: How can I afford that?

I read it as “marge Simpson” - imagine my disappointment

I did too. I was very confused why the OP was messing around with a syphilis table and more importantly what was a syphilis table is.

At least you didn't read it as sissy puss.

Yeah, I always read it like that as well. Has to be the worst name for a product ever. Unless it has some other meaning that I don't know about.

Edit: Somehow this didn’t come through when I posted but it definitely does not have the same feature set as pointed out.

I read it as sussyphus

I have the cheaper homedics version. Love it.

Lol sisyphus is an ancient myth from the Iliad, amongst other places, of a man punished for trying to cheat death by every day having to roll a heavy boulder up a hill only to have it roll back down over him crushing him, for all of eternity. He will never, ever get the ball up the hill.
I assume it’s a joke about the little ball rolling thru the sand.

Oh ok I thought you were doing it by hand, but this is cool too

Yes. It was interesting to see the movement patterns of syphillis

Thats the happiest I've seen Mona Lisa. I think she likes it.

Making it? I'd say about a day with testing to make sure it drew the way I wanted it too. The table takes like 30 mins to complete this drawing.

The tables are super quiet! I have mine running right now and I don't hear a thing. If I was in a totally silent room, I might hear it.

I do! I have a whole bunch on the community! Look up alexandra : )
Alex_Sisyphus OP t1_iwgpc4n wrote
Hey, to each their own! I personally love the customization features like being able to make my own tracks in the sand and the multicolor lights. Plus I think the wood looks snazzier than plastic for my home.

I hope so! I always thoughts her little smirk was cute, but I guess the sand wanted her to smile more 😅
Alex_Sisyphus OP t1_iwgqrtl wrote
It's also a knockoff of the table I use : ( It stole the idea from the original artist, Bruce Shapiro - they're not affiliated as all.

Only reason I didn’t get yours was because it’s really expensive. But it does look nice.

With the success of My Escher post, I thought I'd try another classic! Da Vinci's Masterpiece, Mona Lisa! It's amazing what you are able to do in the sand, you can really bring the museum to you!
