DIY Glowing Mushroom Lights ( with AND without a 3D printer ) 

Those are both so cool looking. I think a mixture of the clay sculpted stems and the 3d printed heads would look killer

WHERE THE HECK DID YOU GET *BLACK* HOT GLUE?!

I think I would make each light Turn off and on slowly and random.

This is so cool! I definitely like the options of with or without the 3D printers, so cool!

I've seen these made with colored silicone too, good all 3 ways. Gotta say. Still wanna make some larger outdoor ones some day.

It's not a competition, they're both wonderful & oh so beautiful! They go well together. Use them both to give a theme to the whole room!

Those are some magical mushrooms right there!

the battery has an equivalent series resistor, which means the current it can deliver is limited by the internal composition of the battery

Both are equally fantastic in their own right. I didn't realise Natalie was so creative. Huge respect to you both.

There both cool. I like the random organic clay growth more than the perfection of a printer. Thanks for the video ☺

I've noticed that you can use clear PETG filament as a light pipe, so you could always use that to transmit light from a central light source, like those old fiber optic lamp things - saves all that tricky wiring.

Natalie's was best looking one in the end. The caps and stems of the mushrooms look more organic.

Natalie’s looks more like realistic yet glowing mushrooms. Yours has more fantastical colours. I love them both

It is i teresting how these 2 parts feel. Hers look so natural, alive and pure. Yours on the other hand is dark, glowing and mystical. I love both parts. Very cool video.

1) Buy heatshrink tubing. Use it to cover stuff so you don't need to worry about shorts. You can get assortments for almost nothing from ebay, including transparent. 2) Trim your wires shorter, there is no need to leave the whole leg on the LED or resistor. 3) Learn the Western Union/Lineman Splice. Try to make it so after you are done, no extra wire is visible under the splice at all. Cover with heatshrink.

Just beautiful 👌👌👌👌

Both of those are dope. they contrast each other. I like the "techno" look of the plug in. And the other looks more organic. And I can't think of any possible time when having a portable mushroom light is a bad idea...

Have you checked out DIY Perks video about similar mushroom lights?

I discovered your channel recently, and I absolutely felt in love with the content. Amazing work.

Well, I cannot say which is better. But I have both materials ready. Creating certainly nice atmosphere!

I would totally pay for the 3d printed one...soo cool! and I bet it's really calming when it's glowing in the dark

Both mushroom lamps were gorgeous and looked like someone stole them from an enchanted forest! This is the coolest tutorial ever!

Very cool. I think I like Natalie's best, because you can hang it on a wall to make a really funky cool nightlight.

you nailed it with this project

nice, this is definetely one of your best projects!

I saw one where the guy made the mushrooms out of hot glue. this is awesome! It's so cool that there are so many different ways to achieve similar results!

So excited for the next pixel episode. Those are my favorite of your episodes 😁

Great projects. Very inspiring. I'd take Devon's for the two color mushroom caps. The stones were cool but some crafting moss would have completed the forest floor motif. Terrific work you two!

This was an inspiration. I love both. I can only make one but the side by side steps show how to to advance to a 3d version. I am going to make my own soon from clay on or bathroom sealant for the caps. Super job thank you

Awesome project! The colour change that you pointed out, gave me the idea that it would be cool if the LEDs would smoothly transition between on and off with different time intervals. Probably at a pretty slow rate. I think that would look super cool.

A really nice effect for first experiment. I like the UV glow when lights are off and the soft light when they are on. Perhaps a 555 chip to alternate the time on and off would be really cool. Good job on both.

I honestly love both of them! they have their own feel to them and are both so pretty!

that looks super neat!

I've watched a ton of your video's and of all your projects this one is definitely my new favorite

Hey dude. Just thought I'd say you did great! I know you felt a bit funny about how crowded your mushrooms were, but tbh, those types of fungi do tend to crowd themselves like that. So in that respect you did great!! 😄

OMG, this is awesome, your creativity knows no bounds!

I have a little glowing mushroom nightlight that looks almost exactly like the mushrooms you made. They are on a sensor that allows them to be off when it senses light and on when it’s dark

One time I did what you did with the resistor mistake, but I put a LOT more current than you did on accident. Let's just say that I still have the pieces of glass/plastic in my hand... P.S It would have been so cool if you did this on a bonzai tree

This is SO COOL! I likes both of them. But I would prefer to put some green moss on them so they look even more realistic 👍

Both are really cool in their own individual ways. Would make really great night lights for children. Especially if a battery version used a rechargeable cell. It runs until the battery dies then glows a little bit longer.....recharge in the morning.

Jeeez!! It looks like it came out of a fairytale! So cute!

Both are so creative and cute, I made my own with clay since don't own a 3D printer and some with my 3D pen but took too much time so i decided clay is more productive and real wood but the only touch i added is to use either yellow leds or paint the white with a yellow or orange marker because i find the white to bright. I follow your videos a couple weeks I ve seen almost any video you have and I find this channel and your effort very instructable and I learned a tone of thinks for 3D printing like kinds of plastic or models etc. My favore by far video is your effort with the fabric experiments....Now iam trying to build a small cnc like A4 bed using my 3D pen for printing and i don't know if it works but I like, like you to do experiments.....thanks dude keep on

Awesome job .... a couple of suggestions use some moss for model RR. use electronic hook up wire to make it easier to solder and fish the wires through

That is an amazing mushroom lamp! Love it!

I love them both, so cool !! I prefer the one with 3D printed cap mushrooms.

Cool idea D. They look awesome. A dimmer switch would work for the power to the led’s also. Just an idea it may give you different effects. But really cool lamps...

18 mins 😭😭 my day has been blessed ❤️❤️

you both did a great job!

Those are beautiful! I actually prefer yours a bit because the mushrooms are more bundled, and the colours look more "bioluminescent" to me. Either way, this makes for a very enchanted mood.

You nailed it. I love your videos! Just a tip for the next time: you could've trimmed off the LED terminals before soldering it. It would've taken a lot less space.

I say DIY Perks do this a long time ago with silicone, I love seeing your take on it. 😃

See how its really done that looks so much better DIY perks channel

With Natalie's design, I would use a warmer, golden led. Not too keen on the pure blue for such a warm design

I always love( can’t pick a side between you and Natalie) these kind of projects, also can you make 3-d printed instruments 🎻 please

I'm not cursing you, but I really think that accidentally merging filament like that really makes it look better and i hope you have it again

I really like how it turned out

You two did a great job!

Best 3d channel on youtube SRSLY

I love BOTH!!! So awesome!!!

I would take transparent filament and one big light in that big hole instead of many wires and leds So the light would get sended trough the transparent filament and they would shine at the ends of the filament wires

Very nice project! This is a must try!

Try using the software Magica Voxel! It’s a 3D modeling software to make for making voxels!

Those are absolutely gorgeous! I could imagine having a few like Natalie's hanging at different levels on my wall, with yours sitting on shelves or my nightstand. I don't have a 3D printer or pen (though I might get a pen... Probably the 3doodler create since I saw some on Amazon for ~$30) so the clay will be great. Maybe I can water down some paint to color the caps a bit or highlight grooves and such. Can't wait to try this someday!

Pretty sure that's the coolest lamp ever. I really want to make one now.

The battery doesn't create it's own resistance, while it has an internal resistance like literally everything even wires. It's the current output of the battery that limits it. That type appears to be only capable of outputting 55mA. At 3V per led, 11 leds I'll assume 3 circuits. So that means each LED will experience about 18mA max

These mushrooms are adorable!!!! I wish I had the materials to make them! I've always liked magical things like little glowing mushrooms. Edit: how did you get 1 👎???!!!

I like yours WAAAAAY better I love things that glow in the dark and I love black lights I want to make one and put it in my room

I've seen someone create something similar (DIYperks???) with silicone caulk, so it's fascinating to see two other methods! I don't have access to 3D printing or really know what I'm doing with clay, so I'd probably use the silicone, but it's so great to see that it's possible with a wide variety of materials. I really like both, but I think I like yours the best. It has a lovely subtle fantasy feel, and while both are quite accurate to how mushrooms grow, I grew up with some forest land and that thick, crowded cluster of mushrooms is very familiar. I kinda want to decorate my whole house with them...

By adding a volume control switch would help you to control the brightness of LED.

So beautiful

why have i not thought of hot glue as an insulator. Thank you!

Excellent video. Love both designs. Great resourceful mind with easy to follow clear steps. Thanks 👍

Both are equally cool! Creating lots of ideas, awesome video! =)

Very cool and beautiful! Wish I had the patience to figure out things like that. Lol.

That is seriously cool ...5 stars on this vid !!! Did you make the mushroom designs yourself and are the stl's available to buy please, the use of the 3d pen is new over here in europe, that was amazing to see how well it worked. I have my own printers and would love to have a go over here, thank you

Nice project

I like both in there on way. The pebbles on yours is so awesome but I would use less mushrooms but I'm not creative enough to pull off ether of them

Amazing job

This is super cool! It shows that 3D prints are awesome but you can still do stuff just as well or even better without one! Love your vids btw you’re super cool! I’ve been working on a coin sorter (UK coins) and soon I’ll get to print it at school! Keep up your great videos 😁😁😁

Great looking project, either one would do...

If you take the clay rout like she did and don't have a 3D printer try making a template with paper for cutting the back plate. A light tack glue to hold down the template will help a lot and a jeweler's saw to cut. This will give you more material options beyond plastic like metal or wood. Some light sanding may be needed.

You could use a PCA9685 PWM controller with an arduino and run some simplex or perlin noise on the mushrooms to make them randomly fluctuate in brightness, that I think, would look really cool for the 3D printed ones making them slowly change colour :P

hot glue over the tiny fairy lights is another option that's worked.

My 3d printer will arrive soon! I bought the Anycubic kossel delta printer, it's a kit so it'll take quite some hours before I can print the first print. I'm really exited to test some of your projects :). I've designed some of my own products and I hope to develop them now with a prototyping 3d printer.

I would love one of those, especially Devin’s

Wow, this is absolutely amazing!!!

inspired by my boi DIYperks? still love you bro

Beautiful... Very nice work... thank you for sharing your process and experience :)

this is so incredibly good! I can't stand it! Thank you for sharing!!!!

Are those wires from an Ethernet cable? Lol 😂 that’s literally where every nerd gets their spare wire from. Ha ha ha

Sooooo dope! Thanks for sharing!!!!

This is ADORABLE!

Drinking game: take a shot every time Devin says "I'm gonna go ahead" :)

Cool project should print some garden nomes to go with It lol

so im doing something similar to this, but inside the arms of the sculpture to make it look like the muscles are glowing red hot. do you have any tips on how to get the light to diffuse across the clay? mine is very centralized around the bulb making goofy looking hotspots. im using the sculpey translucent, if thats helpful

These are aesthetic af

So cool! I'm wanting to get into 3D printing what kind of printer did you use for the mushroom caps?

Man that is an awesome project I’m gonna try and make one

It's very very nice, but need more details about the electrical components. We can make the mushrooms but don't know how to wire it

I am currently looking for caps similar to these ones for some of my own projects, but it is impossible to find them without the scrap attached to it (nightlights usually). If anyone knows where I can get a batch of mushroom led caps, please let me know.
