How to Make a Splitzer for the Konstruktor

Have you ever created your own 35 mm SLR camera? Assembling the camera piece by piece and taking beautiful pictures with it is an incredible creative experience. Get your hands on a Konstruktor, roll up your sleeves, and start building! Once you’re done, step up your analogue game and make a splitzer to slice and dice your shots like this!

And, if you're feeling extra adventurous, you could create your own from scratch. When you've got your equipment ready, you're all set to get crafting!

6. All done!

With the splitzer, you can shoot psychedelic sliced-and-diced photos like these:
