Get the LED Out! Speed Contest Winners Announced

Yes,they started it again!

They're similar, but not the same. They differ in size, materials, process, light-source, purpose ... Just because they're both cuboid does not make either a copy of the other.

So true _{First Law}

I started working on the cube before he made that instructable. Would you like me to credit his instructable for being similar?

Alex - I was pointing out his instructable was posted way before yours. So you didn't know anything about the first posted instructable? Could be a fluke I guess. The idea is very basic and I've seen it happen before. Fungus - As far as I know Instructables also encourages (or downright follows) creative commons - i.e. crediting an inspiration source. It is always nice to have someone add on to an idea! That's what the community is all about. But not crediting is stealing. Strictly out of curiosity, do you guys know each other?

I I started working on my cube before his instructable was even published. The cube you see in my instructable was actually the third one I made, I actually made that one solely for the instructable, because I didn't take pictures of the first two. I saw his instructable before I posted mine, but I had already made two cubes by then, and was not inspired to make them by his instructable. (that would require manipulating time, although my instructable say the cubes can, they actually can't) No, I don't know him.

Thank you:)

Thanks. Your instructable is really cool too. I never told you about the mood jar history. I made this for a friend in the hospital that is really sick. She has to have a liver transplant. So I thought that it would brighten her day. :)

Aw, that's so nice of you :)

It has been about a week and she till can't get it because she has an autoimmune disease

You could put the whole thing together and disinfect the outside with the same gel that hospitals provide for cleaning hands. Replace the switch with a tilt switch and she can turn it off by turning it upside down, no need to get at the insides at all.

No, I already asked about disinfectants. The said you can't even bring in balloons right now only paper, so I will just wait. Anyway she is not off her sedatives yet once she is off them I will be in the clear. I like the idea of a tilt switch. I was just thinking of using a magnetic switch that is off in the presence of a magnetic field and so when she moved the jar, the light would tern on. The only problem is that I have already changed the jar so that it also has a white led mode so it can be used as a lantern.

You could put it outside her window.

not really. She has a window to the outside which happens to be a good 10 stories high. The other window is not visible from the bedside.

Oh. Well then it's kind of a problem with it being 10 stories high...

Don't get me wrong but I don't really want to stay in a hospital because I got injured at one. The would not be very good PR for the hosiptal. I can see the headline now "Boy falls off Hospital!"

Well at least you'd be close to a place where you could get medical help...

Near our hospital theres a hill that would be great to sled down and if someone got hurt the hospital would be right there.

You
guys

RULE!!

thanks

crazy! well done! Your instructable is very cool worthy of the prize also.

Thanks.

I'll have to be more subtle with my spam next time... ;-)

The tool tips is great contest. Makes sense to have a whole month all about how to use tools. I am looking forward to seeing some new instructables stuff.

Congrats!! I thought you deserved the big prize, but apparently I was wrong.

Your welcome. :-)
