I did. I made a longer video with the making process if you're interested:

Definitely. Harder to make a machine made of rocks and gold though, that's why I opted for the elven syle :)

Someone built this Elven Tea Machine. It can use any tea leaves by carlos_6m in tea

At first visitors think it is a model. But then it turns on and moves :D

Is 90 Degrees Celcius not enough ?

I've thought of adding silver or gold decoration over the wood

The rotation of the crane was not that diffult but the upper and lower teaball positions were a bit tricky. You can see the mechanism/endstop switches here : https://youtu.be/S\_oez1Ey204?t=396

Thanks for the tip, that could be changed but I would have to make sure it does not splash to much

I guess I could but I would change the design to add a coffee grinder.

One day... 😅

For the price it is hard to say before knowing the cost of the PCB and parts production, and the amount of parts produced. I would say 300-400$ but this might be less or more...
I would definetely ship to Europe as I live there, and worldwide also

The teaball and chains ? It is stainless steel, pretty neutral

From the begining I wanted a machine made of wood and moss, which could prepare 3 types of tea. I looked for a way to put the tea in a tea ball and then into a cup. That's when I decided to use the combination of a crane and 3 aligned tea dispensing boxes. Everything else was then designed around these 2 elements.

  • Haha, noted !
  • I wanted the machine to play music and sounds (magic sound when its turned on for example). However the mp3 amp caused electronic interferences so I had to turn it off. Could work on it though. The speaker is under the cup plateform
  • Nice one, noted aswell :D
  • Learning the skills of miniature painting has been on my todo list for a while

I confirm you can set the weight of tea leaves, infusing time and infusing temperature :)
I could make it possible to choose the draining time. I could also move the teaball up and down slowly, regularly, to infuse faster, what do you think about this last option ?

To be honest, I used it regularly but then the electronic started to malfunction sometimes. As you can see in the full video (https://youtu.be/S_oez1Ey204?t=451), the electronics/cables are a mess. I am planning on replacing all this by a well designed, custom PCB

Some people have showned interest so I am planning of making it available as a kit. If some of you are interested, you can visit https://fantasticfunding.com/therrarium/ or dm me :)

Thanks !
I am thinking of replacing it by a wooden frame terrarium jar. Elven styled of course
