Origami Spacer Prototype

Phillip Torrone of Make magazine posted an article about making spacers out of paper that I found quite interesting. I had no idea.

A spacer is a sort of carburetor for an asthma inhaler -- they're used by children and retarded people who have trouble learning how to do the inhaling thing. It's harder than it looks. And an asthma attack can make you short on oxygen and long on adrenochrome -- coordination and rational thought kind of go out the window. (I had asthma for a couple years after I quit smoking -- something they don't put in the pamphlets.)

Anyhow, the one in the article was a little too pepakura for my taste, so I rolled my own out of a piece of A4. No cuts, of course.
