Great stuff, ryan. I also applaud you for giving out info on your parts as well. Most people elsewhere wouldn’t do it

I appreciate the video, I ordered the parts for my design idea. I'll post when completed thanks for the inspiration. I'll also share my design idea and how I did if it works, my goal is to fully suspend the crystal with nothing on it in the middle of the tube. Something tells me this is going to fail greatly because I've not seen one that floats like I'm going to try to do lol. What caps do you use? I was planning on cutting and shapping EVA foam to match my concept but I love your top cap idea. Also if I decide to sell, I will not undercut anyone one here I will match your price so it's up to the person what style they want and not a what's cheaper. I will also give away a few here once I've made back my initial cost investment as a thank you to all the customizers.

Floating crystal is a good idea and I can't wait to see how you'll pull it off. Maybe you can use something like this to help suspend the crystal? http://www.michaels.com/ook-invisible-hanging-wire/10198675.html?cm_mmc=PLASearch-_-google-_-MICH_National_PLA_Shopping_Null_Null_All+Products_General-_-All-Products&gclid=CjwKCAjw4PHZBRA-EiwAAas4ZjbPHsRdIQrkSDd15Sk3RbdyFpqm-u3k2vvI0Oy18nAHL8R0OCkKFxoC1f8QAvD_BwE |

You know, they make this stuff called fishing line? Tensile strength anywhere from 2 lbs. up to 36 lbs. Clear, colored, solid, weaved, braided, etc. I was thinking of getting some fluorescent (green, blue or red) to make a spiderweb style weave in a blade plug to give a laser-like effect, I just don't have the patience to design it out.
But to make a suspended crystal in a blade plug fishing line could be an option.
Even fiber-optic cable could be an option. Bit pricier though.

Awesome ideas, I'll share what I end up going with even if it fails. My apologies Ryanj for taking away attention from your thread was not my intent. Right now I'm testing different materials and ideas to see what works and can handle the heat of the LED safely without risk of melting. |
