LightPainting Acrylic Glas Blade Tool

thingiverse

This is an innovative tool designed to utilize acrylic glass "blades" and create stunning lightpainting effects. I have previously developed caps that can be used with standard flashlights, but these tools require colored gels to achieve desired colors. This design employs a common 1W RGB LED and a microcontroller powered by a 9V battery, allowing for full color control. To view example images, visit my other design for flashlights at the link provided above. Unfortunately, I have not yet had time to create a comprehensive assembly guide, but I believe it is relatively straightforward. The top section holds the LED in place and features a hole for a push button switch. The bottom part houses the controller, power switch, and 9V battery. You can see photos of the assembly process on this page. The main power switch is located between the controller and battery, while the button on the top acts as an independent light switch. A small hole in the side accommodates the IR sensor for the controller, and there are small holes inside to secure it with cable ties. Once the LED, controller, button, switch, and battery clip are soldered together, you can attach the top part to the bottom section using a few threads that won't stress the cables. The design utilizes the same concept as my previous flashlight caps, and I have included a cap for a 3mm acrylic glass sheet. If you need a different thickness, please use the ones from my other design.
