in order for me to figure out how your basic spirograph works i went to Spencer's Gifts in my local mall and purchased their Mighty Mini Laser, which is a hand held spirograph. it has 2 potentiometers and 2 switches that revers the spin of the motors for even more patters, it has a manual mode where you can control the pattern, subsequently it has an automatic mode that runs a series of patterns over and over. it also has a demo button on the top that runs a "demo" of the different patterns. overall i would have to say that this $10 hand held spirograph really helped me to better understand what a spirograph is, because no matter how i try and look at it, i'm a nooblette. but thats ok because i learn and adapt quickly.

Spiro's are cool, I bought one a while ago that came with a 10mw green module. I pulled the green module out, but I cant find it anymore  :-?

Im thinking of buying a 3 mirror one of these and replacing the laser with a 50mW blue ray.

I'm just going to thank you right now, lol, I'm making a 3 mirror spirograph and i had no idea how to set up the mirrors, now i know and don't have to start another thread or search existing threads. btw i saved your pic for later referencing, what you have there is a spirograph not a scanner, just in case you didn't catch that

Those little spyros are fun and cheap !! I put a 50 mW red in mine and used the other in front of my ArIon. Lots of fun for the price.

I'll prob put a green 5mW inside it too, so it does red and green, i already know the correct placement I'll need, i just need the module and the time
