CPB Jar of Light

This is a magical 3D printed jar of RGB lights that simulates real fluid behavior

Step 1: Step 1: Metal Contact

First fold the tin foil into the above shape to create 4 contact points

Step 2: Step2: Installing Metal Contact

Find four rectangular holes in the 3d printed jar and use glue gun to install four metal contacts, the inside should look like this when finished

Step 3: Step 3: Light Diffuser

cut out a piece of rectangular sheet of foam and install it in the inside of the 3D printed jar wall

Step 4: Step 4: Install RGB Pixel Grid

wrap the 8x32 RGB pixel grid around and place it inside the jar

Step 5: Step 5: Prepare the Connector Wires

Use wire stripping tools to prepare the connector wires for the RGB LED matrix
