The kit comes packed with three sheets of parts ready to pop out and make. Also included are the paper clips and magnets you’ll need to make the hinges and pushrod. Finally, the kit comes with all the wooden dowels needed to slot the parts together.
To make the model you will need some basic tools such as pliers for bending the paper clips and some glue. PVA and two part epoxy.

The Laser Cut Cupid is an open source model. If you have access to a laser cutter you are welcome to download the parts and make your own. License details are in the last paragraph of this post. PDF of Parts

For completeness I’ve also included the cover of the kit so that you can make up a finished pack to give to friends. You’ll just need to add the magnets. (four magnets each three millimtres cubed, eBay is a good place to find these.) You will need some dowel cut to length. (I have written a blog post about cutting dowel here) Finally you need some paper clips to use as push rods and linkages.
