Hey, thanks for the design tip. I’ve been thinking about something very similar, but I’ll probably do it with aluminum U channel. I’ll have the lens set up at Maker Faire this year, melting your spare change into molds!

Nice melting! I built something with a lens of this same size, but I used a frame of PVC pipes and elbow joints, with cardboard triangle sandwiches strapped on to hold the corners of the lens, like big versions of the paper ones you use to hold photos in albums. I then strung fishing line tight across in a big X to help support the lens. Maybe not as strong as your bar, but letting a bit more light through. The plastic construction helps the total frame weight down, too.

Great project. I love the video of you melting the lock. I did a blog post on it. I look forward to exploring the rest of your site and seeing what other projects you guys come up with.

Cheers,
Matt
