Description
"Well, when you look into infinity you realise that there are more important things than what people do all day" - Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes
It's like an Infinity Mirror but it's a box full of "stars". Intending on making it very large (2ft x 2ft x 8inches) 15 x 15 x 9 inches.
Components
- Mirror Perspex
- LEDs
- Clear Perspex
- 1-way Mirrored Privacy Film
- Cool-temp Glue Gun + Glue Stick
- Scalpel
- Wire
- Soldering Iron, Wire Stripper
Process
Prototype
- Spend forever fighting dxf files and inkscape. Eventually get design into right format for laser cutter.
- Cut out sides and back of box on laser cutter
- Cut out clear perspex front
- Apply mirrored privacy window film to one side of the clear perspex front. Trim film to exact size of perspex with a scalpel.
- Making sure everything's really clean, use cool-temp hot glue gun to glue everything together
- Glue in LEDs and attempt to wire up everything
- ???
- Profit
Judging by yellow LED test circuit, I probably have 1/4-1/8 less LEDs in total for the full sized project. It's too many "stars"
TODO List
Figure out how to cut larger perspex because it won't fit in the laser cutterManaged with the Rage Saw by rotating it around and cutting from both sides.- Make better LED wiring diagram
- Figure out how to enclose all the wires
Gallery
Testing the Yellow LED circuit on prototype. May need less LEDs than thought...
