And so Ragn kicked Harry Potter into the meat grinder.
Harry: "WAIT A MINUTE NO ONE WILL GET WHAT'S GOING ON! THINK OF THE PLOT!"
Image
Ragn: "Don't care, I promised I'd test this thing on children first."
Image
Loud British screaming can be heard as the grinder's blades whirl and crush the wizard boy's body...
Image
...And the grinder coughs up the remains of The Boy Who Lived.

Four grinding wheels (placed in a way to allow minifigs to pass through and reach the bottom) separate the product, preparing it for the next step.

...Which is the blender at the bottom, finely grinding up the leftovers. (Used a spinning 2x2 floor plate at the bottom, allowing the blender to actually turn for style points.)

(Another shot of the blender with the access door open, allowing you to fish out the minifig easily afterwards.)
Image

(Here's how I made it work. A little platform filled with remains and a 1x4 flat with two 1x2 smooth 'roof' pieces that blocks the remains from being pulled out, instead falling to the bottom.)

I am actually planning on expanding it into a whole factory production line that ends in little fast food shops with enthusiastic employees serving you the most delicious patties and fried stuff ever!

Hey that's pretty fun! Looks like it wouldn't take much to mod it so that the gore tray moves in tandem when you turn the crank.

Now that you mention it, I think I even got the right parts for that as well. I just want to see if I can get the crank gears to move together with one crank too. Maybe if I do a diagonal slope entrance for the minifig so they can slide under the gears for the 'grinding' visual effect.

Then again, I could also remove the chunk with the cranked gears and replace it with just visuals so the only real interacting piece is the guts slide. Would make the model nice and compact without losing its purpose.

I guess I'm easily coaxed, plus it was a good way to spend second Astarte day. I already have a concept in mind for a phone booth-sized model, easier to put on a street corner. (Plus, Futurama reference!)
