What if I want to return my order?
You have 30 days from delivery. Return the kit unused, complete and in its original packaging, and we'll refund you in full, with no restocking fee.
Arrived damaged? Keep the packaging and email support@icraftpuzzles.com with your order number and a photo. We'll sort it out without asking you to send anything back. Full detail in our refund policy.
What if some parts are broken or lost?
Email support@icraftpuzzles.com with the kit name, the part number from the manual and a photo. We open the replacement claim with the manufacturer and follow it through. You never have to deal with them yourself.
Reported within 30 days of delivery, replacements for anything damaged or missing on arrival are free. Lost a piece later, or broke one mid-build? Send the request anyway: these are often covered too, and if there's a cost we'll tell you before anything is charged. See our replacement parts page for the full process.
Turn the handle and make your own movie light, no batteries, no plug.
A working wooden projector: a hand-cranked dynamo lights the bulb while the film reel turns, throwing a small image on the wall about a foot away. Best in a dark room, with everyone leaning in.
Why you'll love it
- ✓ You are the power station. Crank the handle and the dynamo lights the bulb. Stop, and the picture goes out.
- ✓ A real projector. The reel advances as you turn, and the optics put an image on the wall.
- ✓ Three systems, one build. Dynamo, reel drive and optics: a rewarding challenge for its size.
- ✓ Natural wood, visible grain. Unpainted plywood that looks great on a shelf.
Great gift for movie buffs, vintage lovers, science fans and builders who want a model that actually works.
