Pretty neat. It would be cool if you could buy 1 lamp base and a bunch of pieces of acrylic instead of 10 lamps lol.

@MichaelEdmond 7 лет назад

ShishkaBerry i make these with custom designs, i can easily do a number of inserts!

@xureality 7 лет назад

buy a piece of acrylic, draw some yourself.

@MichaelEdmond 7 лет назад

xureality drawing takes time, i use a laser engraver

@inomabushnell5588 6 лет назад

Micheal Edmond how much do you charge for custom made lamps? How would I contact you? Is your base the same or better?

@HaydenX 7 лет назад

I'm pretty sure I want one of these...although, I have to say that I would have *begged* for one as a kid. I was obsessed with lava lamps and plasma lamps, but I could never get one. At the end of the day, when a birthday rolled around and my parents basically gave me the option of some video game stuff or a lava lamp, it was an easy choice that never resulted in a lava lamp.

@cmonkey63 7 лет назад

Even on a slow news day, Techmoan is still entertaining and informative.

@stupot42 7 лет назад

You could send one of the bases to Big Clive to dismantle and give his opinion on the circuitry and safety. That would be an interesting collaboration.

@forestbird7257 7 лет назад

stupot42 well there's not much about safety issue.. It's just a simple 5v circuit.. But he would change the LEDs to pink I guess

@superdau 7 лет назад

The 10 second shot of the circuitry is enough to see that it's an 8pin micro with three driver transistors (with base resistors), according series resistors for the LEDs and one supply smoothing cap. The touch sensor will be a ready made module. There also apparently are versions that run on batteries. That's all. The thing is as safe as the USB power supply you use.

@lisergi 7 лет назад

Big Clive probably will understand that pcb and draw its schematic in 2 min xD.

@jincyquones 7 лет назад

superdau is exactly right. A plain 9V battery is more dangerous than anything in the base itself, and Clive has probably taken apart several USB power adapters identical to the one this comes with. The only thing even remotely interesting is the capacitive touch sensor, and that will just be an IC doing all the interesting stuff and a drop-down resistor. Some manufacturer in China is making bank on a circuit that a beginner electronics engineer could probably whip up in a few hours.

@GonkThePowerDroid 7 лет назад

Mine has a layered lacquered plywood base. The included USB socket did not work and looked very cheaply made. It came with a remoter with on/off, 16 colours selection, 4 cycling modes and brightness adjustment. The motif is the Death Star. Looks great among my Star Wars items :)

@misterdaz1018 7 лет назад

Dear Mr Techmoan. I thought that I saw the pain in your eyes when you spoke of the "couple weeks" you spent on the Mini-disk video. I would like to tell you that I really appreciated the Mini-disk video and how you didn't really go into the tech side. Mini-disk was a big part of my life also. Even though I am not a tech person it was something I have been waiting for since I discovered your channel in the last year or more. One day in the future I shall sign up as a Patreon.

@xaytana 7 лет назад

The designs of these aren't that hard to produce, though my method probably isn't the most efficient. You can go into a program like Sketchup and make your 3d object, put a map on that object, and then find the angle you want it at, then project the object onto a 2d surface. Then you have to do more work to make it into a file a laser cutter/cnc engraver can use, then produce a physical copy. Of course, there's probably more efficient ways, or easier ways to produce this. But using cad to project a 3d object onto a 2d surface would give you literally unlimited amounts of objects you can do this with. Also, you should do one of those 'holographic' display things, it's basically a display that projects 4 images onto a pyramid of glass or acrylic, basically the clear material reflects the image into the center, and you get a 3d image based on reflections and stuff. I think they're pretty cool, though large ones do take up a lot of space.

@EATABAGOFHELL 7 лет назад

oh hey I just realized something: a dense sandwich of 10 little edge-lit acrylic panels like this with separate LEDs and a single numeral etched in each could be used to make a fairly credible looking faux-Nixie display.

@BillyJoe1305 7 лет назад

As expensive as lighting options get it's good to see that some of the cheaper items are of more than adequate quality and would really set off a room.

@gwc1410 7 лет назад

I bought one of these about six months ago; the R2D2 with the black base like shown in your video. It's pretty cool. Some facts: 1. The switch is not a touch switch. It appears to be a proximity switch. You don't need to to touch the switch. Hold your finger about 1/8 inch above the switch (don't touch it) for about 1/2 a second and then remove your finger and this will trigger the switch. It works this way on my unit. 2. The black plastic case is cheap plastic. Mine had some spots on it that looked like water spots. I tried cleaning it with Windex window cleaner or rubbing alcohol, I don’t' remember which one, and it started to dissolve the case.

@chaos.corner 7 лет назад

Good info. I've been trying to find a circuit for a button that would work through glass. This might be a good path to pursue.

@gwc1410 7 лет назад

I have seen modules for these type of non contact switches for sale, but I don't remember where. Maybe try ebay, Sparkfun, etc. There are also ICs you can buy and make your own circuit. They are supposed to work through thin layers of wood, plastic, etc. I would think glass too. I've thought it would be cool to build some project with no visible power switch, just move your hand near a certain place and the item turns on.

Lootcrate actually has an acrylic LED lamp in the Future Tech gaming crate. It's "Pathfinder" themed around Mass Effect Andromeda. It isn't 3D, but it's still a cool little thing, and I'm very glad they did that so I didn't have to buy one myself. I might buy one anyway just because it's only a blue color and I could do with more colors.

@JuanHerrero 7 лет назад

That USB socket is indeed crap and likely to break. Because it is surface mounted, good ones have metal bits go through the circuit board and bent or soldered on the other side, giving good mechanical strain relief. I had a cheap Alcatel brand flip phone, the software was excellent (it worked as a USB webcam, a feature I would love to see on today's phones), but the hardware was put together cheaply, and the USB lifted off the board a few months after the warranty expired.
