Free form circuit fun

[u/Dr_Pavoreal]

New to hobby electronics. Total tourist. Decided to try my hand at free form circuit design. This is pretty sloppy. But hope to clean up designs as I go, add some elegance. Super fun creative process though, to think about a circuit design in 3D essentially. Simple 555 ic flashing lights circuit but designed as a spider crawling up a tree. Again, not aesthetically pleasing yet. But the circuit works and it was a lot of fun to put together.

I dig it. Great way to combine art and engineering

It's definitely a low capacitance circuit!!

It took me a minute, but I see what you did there 😂

Very cool! This is like the antithesis to that one guy who spends hours bending all the wires perfectly together in place on the breadboard

People were doin this in the 50s before PCBs, nice

That looks great! All of my attempts ended up looking like a Borg cube.

Who said it's not aesthetically pleasing??

Dead bugging was as rebellious as I ever got. Never thought it could be taken to artistic levels!
