Any chance to get hold of these in Europe?😁

Dichroic film can be purchased by itself...imagine the possibilities!

@FusionDeveloper Год назад

You can buy ones that were made with flaws, such as misaligned, for cheaper. That's what I did.

The sphere definitely changed the refraction, but I think it made it even cooler! I could stare at that all day!!

Yes! Big thumbs up! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

@auramaclay2939 Год назад

I personally don’t have any light sensitivity but I think it was extremely thoughtful to throw in that disclaimer. Even though I personally don’t think the flashes were too strong. Very nice of you and very neat project and concept!

@BensWorx Год назад

Thankyou!

@kinashy8863 Год назад

Same, i don't have it but i think it was thoughtful

@Tazerboy_10 Год назад

Yeah, thanks for the heads up!

@WiBla Год назад

It's only missing an auditory cue as to when it is safe to look at the screen again, or a timestamp to skip to.

@laserfloyd Год назад

Please do a large one. The sphere projects are really awesome. The small one looks cool but a big one would probably be insane. I'd also mount it above light and position it so that it's splitting the beams for an extra cool end-of-video shot. Cheers!

@MadScientist267 Год назад

Reminds me of crystals. The camera simply can't quite capture everything there is to see. I'd love to see one of these up close in the sphere.

@lechatbotte. Год назад

Only Ben could think up these amazing projects wow. It’s refracting the light just a bit but it’s amazing.

@BensWorx Год назад

Thanks Mate

@markwhite6018 Год назад

I'm not sure what it is but something about this one is mesmerizing. I enjoyed the way it appeared to be lighting up when it was first turning on the lathe. Awesome job 👍

@BensWorx Год назад

Thanks Mark 😊 yeah it was cool

@ef445 Год назад

The soothing soft bluegrass music is the icing on the cake. Beautiful.

@JustAnotherBuckyLover Год назад

Thank you for the flashing light warning. It's not the sort of stimulus that I'm sensitive to, but it's always better to be safe than sorry! 🤗 I think there is some effect, but I'd love to see the results with the bigger cube too!

@brunomarzano9859 Год назад

Great job, I can appreciate the effort it takes to get a cast looking that good. One thing I'd like to mention is that if you can find an epoxy with the same refractive index as the glass of the cube, the sides will disappear, and all you will see is the coatings floating in the middle of the ball

@louisgridleywu7075 Год назад

It looks really interesting, it looks like a faint cube for a split second as it spins then changes shape completely. Very cool project 😲👍

@bettypaquette1904 Год назад

Turned out beautifully. Will be interesting to see you make the bigger one. Fantastic as usual. :)

@BensWorx Год назад

Thankyou

@Chaos_Senpai Год назад

@@BensWorxI would like to see the effect of lots of the little ones stuck together (may be cheaper than buying a big one)

@coletteb.8889 Год назад

@@BensWorx if you want to find a big one without paying for one you might be able to salvage one from a projector in a tech dump. Not sure if they're called tech dumps in Australia, but they're basically trash cans that are specific to electronics so people can see if there are any salvageable parts in them. Most electronics stores have at least one. One year my college was getting rid of some of the older overhead projectors and these cubes are what make all the colors appear in the projection, so she was able to get a couple cubes for free. She put one on top of her lamp which made these beautiful colors all over her room depending on which side was on the bottom at the time. Maybe your big sphere could be part of your lamp series and you can shine rainbows across your shop with it. Only thing bad about getting them this way is you won't know when any will pop up, so you have to just make it a habit of stopping by to check just like with thrifting. If you want a more immediate result you can probably just buy a cheaper used projector off ebay and take the cube out of that.

@paisleykitty7 Год назад

Wow! Yes, that NEEDS to be done bigger! That turned out amazing!

@gitts726 Год назад

idk why but the way you explain everything and the voice you speak with just puts me at ease you, sir, have the voice of a genuine friend

@Mr-G131 Год назад

looks amazing. if you revisit this consider getting closer to filling the sphere with the cube like you did with the rubix cube. I think the added ratio away from the surface of the sphere had an impact on the overall look.

@lynniev Год назад

Wow, this was stunning. Absolutely stunning. I say it on almost every video but you are seriously the best one out there for getting your resin crystal clear. Nice job, Ben!

@julesbower762 Год назад

The refraction, allows you to see the cube inside the sphere. That sir, is art. Thank you for sharing.

@kennyboswell5967 Год назад

Very cool! I loved how it looked like it was glowing when you were spinning it.

@lauren32313 Год назад

I love seeing the glowing inside when it's spinning and it's not even polished yet! Gorgeous little ball!

@maris5951 Год назад

@freethebirds3578 Год назад

@RamonaQ Год назад

Super neat. I keep several of these in the kitchen window. Even at night, just from the light in the room, they are pretty and sparkly. I’ve never seen a big one that wasn’t plastic. I would love to see one done like this.

@peggycuevas159 Год назад

Hi Ben, I myself think this is ONE of the most beautiful pieces of art that you have made, I absolutely love it, u need to make more so we can purchase them, can't wait to see the big one, once again, congrats, it's absolutely beautiful

@hadron2 Год назад

Absolutely mesmerizing! I'm going to have to get myself one of those dichroic cube thingies now.

@kellyw.1779 Год назад

Hey Ben! This was an awesome idea and yes it would be so cool to see if a big one refracted more light. It was so thoughtful of you to show the warning ahead of time for possible flashes of light. Your an amazingly talented sweet guy. Big ((Hugs)) from Texas!🤗

@DeaconXPS Год назад

Id buy one for my nephew who lives with autism. This kind of mental exercise draws him in without fail. It looks cool. The play of light is complex, thanks to the flat prisms and rounded spherical outer shell. And it is smooth to the touch, satisfying yet another sensory interest. I say DO THE BIG ONE!!! It will be fun to see on a scale that is closer to the Rubix Cube.

@cameronmueller-harder3916 Год назад

So cool! I agree with all the other comments saying a big one is a necessity… especially if that would enable you to have less excess resin around the cube!

@dziltlahnii3033 Год назад

Great vid. The pot cam music was pretty rad, reminded me of Conker's Bad Fur Day

@jpolowin0 Год назад

That's very nifty! When I was young and playing with polyester resin casting, I experimented with including some shapes cut from a sheet of acetate diffraction grating. Its index of refraction was similar to that of the cured resin, so it was nearly invisible. But at certain angles, light was still split by the diffraction effect, and the shapes appeared in rainbow colours inside the resin. You might want to give it a try; it's not extremely cheap but it's not _that_ expensive.
