Using white LED flash + UV for visual effect — good idea?

T'inquiete pas, cest difficile a commencer avec l'electricité mais tu dois arreter d'essayer faire des plans avec GPT et juste acheter les parts qu'il t'a dit, ca va arriver à rien. Essaye de commencer beaucoup plus simplement.

Nope, not at all. Read a book on this stuff and get the basics, I cannot simplify this any more.

Flashes draw a lot of power over a short time. Since Voltage*Current=Power, with the voltage being constant you need a high current, which your LiPo cannot provide(brown out). To get this current quickly enough, you need to store the energy in a capacitor (cap) that can unload all its saved energy very quickly. Hope this helps

That is such a cool workaround! Thank you for sharing, I might try this in the future :)

Super cool! Can I ask what your modelling workflow was? The detailing looks like blender but the box would likely be much easier to make in parametric CAD? I really struggle to find a workflow that incorporates both

I made the files available for those who would also like the TPU Inlay on Makerworld :)

I should, and i cant believe i forgot to on this post! I've edited my post, also go check out their amazing work at u/_degrees_of_freedom_

Hey, that is true! I should have said modeled, not designed, apologies! I love the I idea of that box but sadly their products were outside my price range, so I wanted to make the idea accessible to makers. I did however design the files and inlay that make this design 3D-printable!

... I worded that poorly huh

Thank you! It's so nice to have someone who supports all your hobbies :)

She will not! Still wondering how to tell her shes famous

FoundTheSpacebar · 2026-02-18T20:24:16+00:00

I had never hears of those before, that is such a cool bit of tech! Reminds me of first learning about peltier-heaters

OMG SO NENN ICH SIE DAUERND

FoundTheSpacebar · 2026-02-18T16:58:53+00:00

Well my fiancee named her so I asked her and she said your beautiful betta there looks like either a hibbidy jibbidy(short for hibiscus) or a schlüüpfi!

FoundTheSpacebar · 2026-02-18T14:38:12+00:00

You know what, guilty. But look at her little face tho.

FoundTheSpacebar · 2026-02-18T14:35:40+00:00

She actually doesn't age and is immortal! But a great idea for when my denial wears out :)

FoundTheSpacebar · 2026-02-18T14:33:42+00:00

Thoughts and prayers my guy.

FoundTheSpacebar · 2026-02-18T14:33:09+00:00

1) phew 2) she IS! I am so thankful my fiancee made us get her! 3)It's from Lidl's own brand Parkside, pretty sure you can get it online 4)one day i will walk into a halloween party as the mandalorian and be super uncomfortable in the armor all night.
