The valve on/off switch is a neat touch. Great job!

Wow, this is a neat idea!

Yes, wood glue is usually for porous materials like wood or paper that can really soak up the adhesive.

Not sure what you need wood glue for this tutorial? If you could explain your application perhaps I could help you better.

Thank you and hope it ended up going well for you!

Yay: Great job in f0lowing the instructions! It looks quite perfect, and I hope you enjoyed it. :)

Nice design!

Your patience is admirable ;) Good job!

Nice job!

Glad you like it :)

Good point; you didn't miss anything, as I just didn't include child-friendly features. I don't know of a foolproof way to child-proof the lamp, but I would think that you can coat the edges with something thick like hot glue; that would be messy and time consuming though. Perhaps you could also try adding a clay to the edges; essentially, you'd just want to thicken the edge so that it won't cut. Also, soda cans are made of aluminum, so the petals are actually quite delicate so if anyone presses on the petals, they'd deform, unfortunately: the best way to protect this lamp would be to attach it to a ceiling lamp.

Great idea! I love that the front propeller can still be turned.

Yes, this is a classic case of over engineering and no offense taken. :) Thanks for the comments!

Thank you. :)

Thank you!

That's a great idea! Now I'm wishing that I did that...

Thank you so much for the kind comment! That depends on the light source you use: if you use the same as mine, the light source would not be able to be changed out, unfortunately, because the petals are glued onto the whole thing (LED encapsulated). If you make this with a light source that has a removable bulb and glue the petals to the edges of the lamp (not the light bulb) then you would be able to change the bulb without affecting the petals. Hope that helps!

The first attempt or two might be frustrating, but perseverance would likely pay off! Others have posted pictures of their version below, so I'm thinking that effort will be worth it. Looking forward to your version when you get to it. ;)

Great job outlining the CAD steps in Fusion 360. :)

Glad you enjoyed it!

Great job! That's a nice way to bind the magazines to the spine.

This is adorable!

Wow; thanks for sharing pictures of your simulations to give context for your design geometry. :)

Very nice design!

Handy gadget! If I may offer a suggestion: it'd be nice to have some sort of indicator or laser attachment to clearly identify what object's distance is being measured. Might make the "pocket-sized" criteria a bit more difficult, but just a thought. :)

Very nice job! Your explanations are also well-written.

Great job explaining what you did!

Very comprehensive, well-written tutorial (reads like a conversation); thanks for sharing!

Great job with the weathering! Nice explanations too.

This is adorable! Very nicely done. :)

Gorgeous! Glad to see your projects again. ;)

Cute idea!

Nice design: I like your idea to make the wings look blurry with the fast rotation of fidget spinners.

Clever reuse!

Delicious use of leftover rice: thanks for sharing.

Great job with handling and explaining the math calculations (in R, no less). Your models are also very helpful; nice job using OnShape.

Nice job, saving ~$96. :)

Nice job with the idea of making the belt convertible so you don't need to store it away when you're off the bike. :)

Clever idea for reusing the spindles. :)

There's a video at the bottom of the intro, and alternatively here's a link to two videos: one is a video in which you can see the waveforms on an oscilloscope, and the other video is of the actual light changes (my partner will say a color, and I'll look in the direction that color corresponds to). Enjoy!
