Re: An interior LED masterpiece (not a Ranger)

forgot these..
The cup-holders I built are much more extravagant.

I used 1/4" Plexiglas to make a light bar that fit its way around the edge of the cupholder. To do this I had to scan them into CAD.

I then drilled holes in both the holders and the Plexiglas to fit the LEDs.

I then added jems and jewels along with some glitter to make it really girly.

I then enclosed the entire project in a rubber like epoxy solution, so it would look like it was under water.

The LEDs are wired to a circuit I designed that allows them to run at 15ma regardless of voltage (used voltage regulation) - The entire ambient circuit is designed this way.

LOL - j/k

What I think was really cool was the stuff I used the seal the gems underneath so they look like they are under water. I used this stuff that I bought at Michaels (a craft store) called "craft water" (I think?) - It's a 2 piece epoxy that cures to what feels like a rubber bouncy ball. Playing with it and doing some testing, I put some in a plastic cup. When I pulled it out of the cup I cut it with a knife. I felt like I was tearing apart the 2 halfs of one of those jumbo superballs you get for 50c in the vending machines.
