 WallPaw FAQ

/Engineering

​

​

Is it for sale?

This one is not. 

​

Will you  sell custom signs similar to this? 

I'm considering it.  If I do sell any, they won't have any acrylic inlays.  For a back-lit paw with just wood the material cost alone is around $70.  Then including all of my time to design and make it, I would probably charge around $300 for one.  If you're interested please contact me! 

​

How big is it?

It's 2' by 2'.  It probably weighs 1.5 pounds, not including the power supply.  

​

How bright is it?

Hella bright.  I programmed it to start around 40% brightness, otherwise it's blinding when your room is dark.  

​

Does it look as cool in person as it looks in the pictures?

Yes. 

​

Will this make my room lit?

Yes. 

​

Has it ever randomly turned on in the middle of the night? 

Not yet, but I won't be surprised if it does.  My code controlling the On/Off function of the paw is finicky, and I'm not quite sure how to fix it.  

​

Why do you call it WallPaw? 

I needed a short name for folders and files on my computer relating to it.  Also because saying "Laser cut back-lit LED remote control wooden tiger paw with edge-lit acrylic inlays" is a mouthful.  

​

Can I lick it?

Please don't... it shouldn't hurt you though, the lights are 5V and the Arduino is running on 12V.  

​

How do you have time to do stuff like this?

Idk man, I find time somehow.  I don't watch many TV shows or movies, so that frees up a lot of time.

 

What's your next project?

I'm going to make a clock that will count down the time to the next Clemson football game.  If my plans all work out, it will be able to do a lot more cool things though...
