Build a Sisyphus MAGIC SAND Coffee Table - Arduino | Pi | 3D Printed

I’m going to show you exactly how you can easily make your own super cool automated kinetic sand art table step-by-step. Including smart LED lighting 👇 More info below 👇 This project was kindly sponsored by PCBWay. https://www.PCBWay.com

It is incredibly captivating to be beside this simple DIY wooden table as the steel ball magically carves out an endless and ever changing series of beautiful geometric patterns in the sand.
