Finally... Arrakis!

At 500mm/sec it is silent. At 1000 mm/sec it is very quiet.
It uses a mostly 3D printed corexy mechanism driven by servomotors. The controller is a Duet2 WiFi board with the expansion board to provide enable/step/direction for the integrated servomotors. Patterns are generated using Sandify.
A few minor changes yet to come- it needs a hair cut inside the sandbox- I don't like the fur peeking out under the cover, there's too much baking soda in there- it's a little too deep, and I'll be sealing the glass with a bead of silicone in case some doofus like me spills a drink on it (it's a coffee table...).
I'll be finishing a blog post on it soon and will post a link when its done.

Maybe line the interior walls with mirrors to give it an infinity hall effect?
That fur stripe looks sure is... well it sure is.

@phaedrux Go ahead, say it, it's very shagadelic!
I like the mirrors idea. I may try that...
-
I'm not gonna say that...

I'm going to have to build one (but maybe without the fur)
I've got an old Duet 2 kicking around. Looking forward to reading your blog.... -

Yeah, it would fit in a Shisha-bar, especially with psychedelic mirrors inside. (Kaleidoscope pattern)
