Here is a link to a video showing a mobile Imade for my granddaughter’s crib. The project contains parts made from several machines and processes, including many made on the Glowforge!
Please have a look!!

Well the mobile is very nice - but that baby is spectacularly cute. What a lucky girl to grow up with technology all around! Well done. Thanks for sharing.

“Actual baby” 
That the mobile pieces actually face the baby is also FTW, so many are set up so they look good for the parents, and what baby sees is duck butt!

That is great! Can you slow the motion so the baby has more time to look at each item as it passes? I think I’d get dizzy! Do I hear “Shark Tank?” That could be a great seller!

Indeed, there are 3 speeds. The video shows the fastest. Also the clip at the end is played at 2x so it seems really fast. Thanks

Most of the crib mobiles I have seen use a wind up mechanism for a motor, so this would probably be a huge hit on the market.
That said, getting it baby and electrical certified would be a nightmare I wouldn’t wish on anyone.
Shame that it has come to that, but that is our world.
Meanwhile, your granddaughter can enjoy the show, and I am sure the parents appreciated the hard work.
Excellent effort and awesome results.

Yep. personally, I’m good with that. I distinctly remember a toy boat I had as a child, a sheet metal hull with a sheet metal deck attached to the hull with tabs that were bent over, and a wind-up motor with an unguarded sheet metal propeller. That thing would really scoot in the tub. One day I held it out of the water and touched the free-spinning prop with my finger. Yeah. Made an impression on me. Today, my mother would own a portion of that company.
I agree that mobile would have a market, and the cost of the design insurance would take a while to recoup.

One BIG mistake with your post… you showed that gorgeous little baby. We’ve forgotten all about the mobile! 
You did a really nice job on it. That’s a lot of engineering and planning… well done!
