I was really hoping this was going to be one of the super minimalist LED lamps with just a resistor and rectifier. In a way it is, but a bit more sophisticated.
Also featuring some of the completely useless 3D objects I've made as I've got into the script based 3D modelling. The crystals are promising. I may scale it up and then add some mounting holes for LEDs inside.

This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.

    Shirley that's a candle bulb. It's supposed to flicker, innit?

    You are very funny when the tips of your cutters slide over the slippery metal. Somehow, I don't see any big scars from when you are not lucky.

  3. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Joseph King says:

    Why do you want to store your chocolates in iRaq? Better to store them where they won't die from the heat when they should be dying from HCL acid "poisoning".

  4. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars BedsitBob says:

    Masticating?

    Keep doing that, and you'll go blind. 😁

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars OlegKostoglatov says:

    I wonder what sort of circuitry is used in the 120 volt versions of a candelabra LED filament lamp? Speaking of the construction being similar to a convention light bulb, does anyone know if they bothered to evacuate the glass envelope as well?

    It's not ppointless if it's fun! 😀

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars TheFrenchMansControl says:

    +1 Open SCAD, you should do a video on this @bigclivedotcom

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Trey Quattro says:

    re-entrant objects you say? Can you 3D print a Klein bottle?

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Trey Quattro says:

    Costa should be ordering those from you by the millions!
