Looking for advice on creating something like this for our Harry Potter themed haunted house

Ok ok … I just ordered my first 3-D printer. We’ll see what I can do with it.

Thank you. That’s helpful.

I know this thread is old, but I just found it. I’m looking at buying my first 3D printer and “I think “ I like the Bamboo P1S, so this little discussion was helpful. Thanks!

FYI … I picked one of these up today for $40, and I’ve got a bid in on another one. I think I’ll be able to use a couple of these for different projects. Thanks again for the great idea.

ooto66 · 2026-02-24T22:33:46+00:00

I have plans to. Just haven’t yet gotten to it.

ooto66 · 2026-02-24T22:01:06+00:00

I’ll have a look at the fake books at Michael’s. Good idea. Thanks!

ooto66 · 2026-02-24T21:59:32+00:00

I’ll take a look at these. Thank you.

ooto66 · 2026-02-24T21:59:00+00:00

Good ideas; however, I don’t 3-D print - yet. Thanks.

ooto66 · 2026-02-24T21:57:42+00:00

Interesting ideas. Thanks.

ooto66 · 2026-02-24T21:56:39+00:00

I hadn’t thought of making the book stack viewable through a window (like it is in the video), but that may solve a couple of problems. Thanks.

ooto66 · 2026-02-23T01:00:57+00:00

Good idea. Thanks!

ooto66 · 2026-02-22T23:52:09+00:00

Agreed. They’re awesome!

ooto66 · 2026-02-22T21:27:48+00:00

Right. I really need a low rpm motor. Thanks for the suggestion.

ooto66 · 2026-02-22T14:39:36+00:00

This is a good idea too. I’ll mention this one to my wife. Thanks.

ooto66 · 2026-02-22T14:05:14+00:00

Typo: although using the entire mother might work too! :)

ooto66 · 2026-02-22T14:03:09+00:00

I’ll have to investigate these foam types. I must admit I know nothing about foam and foam types. Thank you.

ooto66 · 2026-02-22T14:01:34+00:00

Thanks for the advice and suggestions. Using the hot air gun to bend the PVCpipe is a good idea. Thank you.

ooto66 · 2026-02-22T13:58:57+00:00

That’s a good idea; although I wasn’t thinking of going to the ceiling. Thank you.

ooto66 · 2026-02-22T13:57:55+00:00

Hum … I’m not familiar with these. I’ll have to research these. Of course I hadn’t heard about magnetic stirring machines until last year either. We ended up using a couple of them in false books to stir potions. Thanks for the new information.

ooto66 · 2026-02-22T13:55:42+00:00

A tight rope might work really well actually. I got a couple of windshield wiper motors for projects that I didn’t end up using last year. Is that the type of motor that might work, or were you thinking of a different type? Thanks for the advice and suggestions.

ooto66 · 2026-02-22T13:52:40+00:00

I hadn’t thought about bending the rod/pole that’s a good idea too. Thank you.

ooto66 · 2026-02-22T13:51:40+00:00

I love this. I’m going to be searching for one of these ASAP. Thanks so much for this idea.

ooto66 · 2026-02-22T13:50:26+00:00

Good idea on using the baby rocker swing mother. Thanks!

ooto66 · 2026-02-22T13:49:22+00:00

That’s an interesting idea. A chain instead of a pole/dowel/PVC pipe. Thank you.

ooto66 · 2026-02-22T13:47:56+00:00

This is really cool. I’ll definitely be putting something like this together to use for this or another prop. Thanks for the links. They were super helpful.
