Whats the hardest part of teaching someone to build Stiquito?
The hardest part in building Stiquito is crimping the nitinol, and this is also the hardest part to teach. I have therefore started urging builders to use screws instead of crimps. Screws do not hold as well as crimps over time, but in the short term they are easier to adjust. Q. What kind of problems did you have when you made Stiquito? A. I (Jim Conrad) am not the inventor of Stiquito, but I took the inventor’s idea (Jonathan Mills) and made it easier to build. In the first version of Stiquito, you would have to cut plastic, drill holes in it, and glue it together. This was hard to do. I created a single piece of plastic which helps the builder from having to drill and glue.
