How to Make a Rhombic Dodecahedron Infinity Lamp
Показать описание
Ingredients:
1.] 8mm wide, 10 meter long, (of which I only used 240 cm), single color, 3000k (color temperature) white LED strip with adhesive backing.
2.] 22 gauge speaker or LED wire.
3.] One 12 inch by 24 inch two-way 40% transparent mirrored Acrylic pane, and an additional 12x12 inch pane, both were 1mm thick.
4.] Scotch Super 33 vinyl tape (or any vinyl tape really).
Tools:
1.] Dremel or similar routing tool (recommend corded, not battery powered, for your sanity).
2.] 561 bit or the standard black grinding disc that a Dremel comes with. But be aware of the amount of plastic this will kick off.
3.] Soldering Iron (I use a weller WE1010NA).
4.] Lead free solder (I use mudder 0.6 mm).
5.] xActo Knife, or a sharp object of your choosing. Sticks aren't a great option.
6.] Scissors.
7.] Paper.
Software:
1.] Not required really, but I used Affinity Designer on Mac and their diamond tool to make the rhombuses (rhombi?). I'm sure gimp (which is a free digital photo editor and art studio [and yes, spelled correctly]) can do the exact same thing.
My Rhombus dimensions:
12 cm per side
X-dimension: 138.56406 mm
Y-dimension: 195.95917 mm

CatatonicCheer: "Bit of a last minute request, so the soundtrack is mostly built using loops from Logic Pro X. My favorite one is the "Genetic Code," loop which is used in its original form around the 9 minute mark. The first song in the video is a riff on that loop to prime your ear for it later on."
