After 20 years in software, I traded code for kinetic art. 100+ failed prototypes and 1,000,000 steps later, Mr. Slinky is a masterclass in mechanical precision. Now, I’m looking for the Founding Crew to help build the future of engineering kits.
While I finalize the full motorized kit, I’m making a limited number of Slinky Pro Springs available for early adopters. After 100+ failed prototypes, this version is specifically engineered for high-cycle durability and precision motion.
It is perfectly suited for custom kinetic sculptures and Lego automatic staircases, as featured by @diamabolo on YouTube and Instagram.

What started a year ago as a father-and-son project—3D printing slinkies for my son—turned into an engineering obsession. We wanted to see them walk forever, so we set out to build the perfect "infinite staircase."
We stood on the shoulders of giants. We drew inspiration from the paper mechanisms on YouTube, the legendary wooden builds of Matthias Wandel, and the viral scale of Mark Rober. We wanted to take those concepts and push them further using modern precision.
Our first machines were a feat of 3D printing. Almost every component—the spur gears, the drive chain, the steps—was printed in-house. After showcasing our work at Maker Faire Prague and receiving overwhelming feedback from the maker community, I realized this was more than a hobby.
After 20 years leading a software company, I decided to leave the virtual world behind to build something tactile. I’ve traded code for kinetic physics. Today, Mr. Slinky is evolving from a one-off build into a professional hardware kit, refined for production and designed to fit perfectly on your desk.
