A set of plans for a laser cut Zoetrope. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZoetropeThis was produced for Nottinghacks Cartoon Club. I'll sort out some links for actual animations as soon as they are made http://nottinghack.org.uk/This is designed to be a glue free Zoetrope, the pieces fit together with tabs and slots. The base circle should be made from slightly thicker card (framing card is good) which will provide a strong base for the zoetrope. To use as a zoetrope, insert a pen into the handle to allow the wheel to rotate freely.The base can be cut and used on it's own as a Phenakistoscope http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenakistoscope
