  • This is about a project I made involving wireless LEDs. I wanted to make a calming desktop light show where the LEDs float and drift about in a glass jar. The video covers the journey of making it as well as the issues faced.

    I like the concept. I think a resin printer with clear resin and goldfish shapes cut in half just large enough to trap some air and an led then glued together would make this next level but i guess with resin fish you would likely hear a clank when it hits the edges of the tank. Maybe with something clever like a vortex or something it could be avoided not sure but it would definitely look cool with actual fish shaped lights. I love the project!

    You could look at using mineral oil as a medium to slow down the motion as well.

      That's a good idea. At one point I considered using a thicker fluid, but I wound up not pursuing it. I'd be interested in seeing what it looks like for sure. I wonder how the pump would handle it.

      @@frickes_projects I can't speak directly to the specific type of pump you're using, but there is certainly types that do handle it perfectly well (magnetic drive and fluid transfer pumps for example).

    Great project as always! I don't know how you made another one in just a week.
    May I offer my humble suggestion? Could you have a little teaser of the finished product in the beginning? This way I know in just a few seconds what you're building. Or I can just skip to the end but then I'm probably not going to rewind back.

      Thanks for the suggestion! I totally hadn't thought of that. I think I can see where I would've put such a teaser in this video. I'll definitely consider it for future videos.

    Very creative project! Allthough, I think the outside of the jar is very distracting. If you could design and 3D print a top and bottom, so you can only see the glass part it would get some lava lamp vibes.

      Yeah at first I liked being able to see everything, but recently I've been thinking along the same lines as you. Adding a base piece to cover the pump at the very least.
