I love seeing manufacturing and 3d printing in mfg settings. I work in mfg (not 3d printing, sadly).

    This is a great video. Here is my best guess for the process, but I’m not a 100%

    • Use weird mouse to make design
    • Use a water soluble adhesive so the filament sticks
    • Clean up edges with a torch
    • Put resin in for stability and UV cure
    • Put color resin in for front look and UV cure
    • Put really cool LED tape on that I would love to have the source for
    • Hang

      This stuff is available from Amazon and probably cheaper on Aliexpress. I have a roll of white LEDs with a sticky backing, which is a lot like the stuff used in the video. I also recently ordered this stuff which is a UVA LED with a sticky backing. My plan being to try and pair it with glow in the dark PLA to get a nice glow effect.

        That sounds like a cool project. If you feel like sharing pics when you’re done, I’d loved to see them.

      There are a few variety of that LED strip, and I use em for all sorts of junk. Just built a big backlight piece for my living room with maybe $80 worth. Look for WS2812 and you’re on your way to multiple varieties using the same chips!
