Hi... Calling all old CrazyBall customers and introducing the new Print-n-fly concept of foamies
Fantastic news!
The Crazyball Lives has been improved and is doing well. The designer (me) is getting older and although it's been a real challenge with my wife's care (severe rare form of Alzheimenr's and cannot communicate) I have been able to trudge through two years of website host issues and restore a version of crazyplanesrc.com but that website is presently in 'mothballs' but will return.
The new site inkjetairforce.com was also a challenge and due to incompetent host support was nearly completely lost (along with CrazyPalnesrc)
The good news is that the reason for the exodus was shipping. It was expensive to ship a box of foam parts that retailed for $29.so many redesign attempts were made and a much simpler (and better performing) version was created. Since there are no prefab milled parts needed, the CrazyBall (and its varieties) can be built with only Adams Dollar Tree foam artboard or Ross (available at some Walmarts)
The preferred board is Dollar Tree. and is just over a dollar (1.25) due to inflation.
The fantastic news is that since the paper needs to be removed from the DT board, it is replaced by typing paper and is very easily glued on with a new purple school glue stick by Elmers.
This was a golden opportunity as typing paper can be printed so ((((Bam))) the marriage of scalable templates/graphics and therefore the marriage of Art (Artboard) and the CrazyBall airframe. That was only the 'tip of the iceburg' as many more designs were created (approx 100+) and graphics were created for some of them. The concept of downloading the templates with graphics and being scalable was born and inkjetairforce.com became a reality.
The main 'exhibit' is a Delta that only uses one artboard and has graphics for many 3D and standard country flags. Many other airframe designs are completed and will also be brought out as the site is finished.
The real news though is the CrazyBall Alien is now available, downloadable printable, and easily/quickly/cheaply buildable from the InkJetAirForce.com site with a 'How-to' library on the homepage.
The new CrazyBall Xtreme will be one of the next product additions and it 'has been worth the wait' as it is a monstrous performer..
Visit the InkJetAirForce.com site and I will add some video links here soon for some of the other designs.
Here is a teaser on the CrazyBall Alien. youtu.be/SozlDqo8vLc
