Day of the Tentacle Box'o'Laughs

thingiverse

My afterimpression of the Box'o-laughs in the game "Day of the Tentacle". The original was only a few pixel big icon in the inventory ;-) In one scene of the game "you" have to slice up a plastic clown in which inside this Box'o-laughs is embedded. You need the box which does "HA-HA-HA" to win a costume contest in the future to rescue one caracter in the game (and so on). Now you have a chance to build yours - you only need a little 10 seconds voice recorder board with a small speaker, a bit of cloth to glue behind the 3 slits to block the direct view on the speaker. The voice recorder I used needed 4.5 volts so the bottom has a suitable openening to insert a 3x AAA holder. I modified the voice recorder (which cames out of an recordable greeting card) with a little ball based shock sensor, so the Box'o-laughs starts playing "HA-HA-HA" when someone slightly rumbles against the box itself. The second hole in the Base could be used with a slider switch to turn the box of. You also find the suitable audio file in the thing-files. Sadly I missed to take pictures of my completed Box'o-laughs :-( I gave it away as a present... Happy new year 2016 !
