  • Assuming the color wasnt photoshopped (which I doubt),
    Would the camera’s white balance setting really matter?

    I would tend to think that since both objects are in the same shot,
    whatever color change you get from the white balance setting would affect them the same way.

    I don’t know though and would love the truth from someone qualified :)




  • Now that’s MUCH more useful than what I made!

    I made this one with a button you have to press to check the cable, for no real good reason, and I now realize that it actually makes it less practical to use ^^

    I don’t think it should take much more components to give it that hold mode.

    I might give it another go, and drop the useless XLR sockets while I’m at it.

    Thanks, so do I!

    Yeah I picked it for style, then regretted it when building the project when I remembered that aluminium is conductive (duh…),
    which meant that all the grounds were connected together…

    Which is not what I needed and I had to get creative to insulate them from eachother (you can see it a little on the last pic, I coated every hole for the connectors on the right side with nail polish).

    In the end it was worth it though, I love the finished look :)



  • Thank you, and cool! Do you mind me asking about your wiring?
    I actually also started trying to hook up a small bluetooth speaker’s innards to a guitar amp but I’m getting crazy noise when trying to play music through it…
    I wasn’t sure where to connect the audio outputs and the power supply so I’m interested in seeing how you went about with that :)






  • And here I was running out of ideas of what to encapsulate!

    BTW if someone has an idea of something cool to do with this, I’m all ears.
    I bought phosphorescent pigment with the plan to make little canisters of ooze from TMNT 2 but not sure what to mix the pigment with…ideally something non flammable, I’ve tried water but it wasn’t super conclusive.

    Machined it in two parts using my former workplace’s CNC (I only gave it this shape because I had access to it).

    The dark line you see is where the parts are glued together, and I added a black laminate interlayer thinking it’d give it some style.

    Then did what felt like a year of sanding for such a small object, and some oil to finish it.

    I messed up the grain orientation though and the smaller hole in the back has been broken and glued back on already


  • Interesting! To each their own I guess, I enjoy most of these things when used in intelligently. Kind of like what an artist’s style in a painting adds to the scene.

    I had a different experience with avatar 2, saw it in 3d and apparently variable framerate and my eyes were getting lost everytime the framerate changed by a noticeable amount.
