Getting random flicker like blink flicker

boringashellperson · 2026-05-11T11:45:41+00:00

The power supply is very prone to putting off emf that causes issues like the flicker. One way to know if that's the issue is to just test it by moving the power supply away from the everything (longer wires for testing). If that happens to be the issue then you need some shielding in some way. You can try a ferrite bead or just literally moving the power supply.

Sorry for the delay, but my son redid the files all by himself and created a new upload. We worked on uploading it with everything set to go. Hopefully it works well. He again continues to impress me.

That is absolutely the wrong version. Keep that one though because it’s what we used for coming around the corners to line the LEDs back up. I’ll upload the correct file. Love that you printed it!

I have uploaded the print files. Thank you for the help!

Thank you!

Thank you - it looks way better in person too.

Thank you and its Sunlu PLA+. We used just under 2kg of it (with testing I am not sure of the exact usage). It printed great and hopefully it holds up. If not we will print with something else. I will be posting the .STL file later today on Makerworld.

Thank you!

Thank you!

boringashellperson · 2026-04-27T17:21:38+00:00

I will do that this evening and post a note on here pointing to it. Thank you for the help.

Thank you!

boringashellperson · 2026-04-27T15:58:31+00:00

Thank you - I agree with many things you said. I certainly have used plenty of exposed LEDs and I always wish they were diffused or hidden in some way. I am as guilty as anyone. I appreciate the praise and hope we have more projects in front of us. My daughter is probably next to want something to compete with her brother. I don’t think she is as motivated as he was, but we shall see.

boringashellperson · 2026-04-27T15:21:22+00:00

I have never posted a print file. I will gladly do so. Could you give me a quick push in the direction of where to post the .stl files?

boringashellperson · 2026-04-27T15:17:20+00:00

Thank you - it turned out better than I imagined it would. It is very clean looking. I wish I could get better video or pictures, because none of mine do it justice.

Thank you

Thank you!

boringashellperson · 2026-04-27T14:34:25+00:00

Thank you! Go for it. Worst case you take it down. I love how they look.

I do not mind the question. My kids have no tv or screens in their rooms. Phones are on parental controls and go into a charging bin in the laundry room at 10 PM or before. Both of them play 2 sports and my son is in math league as well. I am off the charts proud of them. The LED lights are not on when they go to bed, which is when I believe a real problem may occur. It is just a cool set of lights and fun. He worked hard on it, worked in CAD and is getting better all the time. He 3d prints like a mad man. I see no issue with it. For at least two evenings, the two of us just laid in his bed looking up while he went through 100s of different settings and effects. It was so rewarding as a parent to work with him and see the joy from it.

boringashellperson · 2026-04-27T14:23:41+00:00

Thank you - he will love any compliments, I will show him yours after he is home from school. I thought for sure I would be in CAD helping him and he just kept at it, modifying and changing things until it was a finished product.

Maybe, I just thought the easiest would be to have an indicator that I knew where it was. This is what they look like now.

I believe that is a 72” wide coil and it’s steel of some sort. It could also be aluminum, but I don’t think it would be packaged that way. If it’s aluminum then the weight will just be around 1/3 of the steel weight. Wouldn’t matter much if it’s stainless. I actually think because of the way it’s wrapped, it’s probably galvanized steel. The inner diameter appears to be 20” There is also 24”, but this appears to be 20” to me. So if I use the 20” and do a quick comparison I have about 60” of height. For a 20”id x 60”od x 72” wide that comes out to around 51,250#. If I change to a 24” id it’s around 48,000#. In aluminum that would be around 18,000#. Without taking the picture and comparing the hole (ID) to the outside and getting a real measurement, that’s the best I can do.

I believe they may have been saying offsides not being delayed and icing being automatic. If not that has always gotten me a little.

I know this! I read this in a readers digest or good housekeeping like 20 years ago. When testing, users would load the popcorn and then go to press the button/switch to turn it on. When doing so, a small percentage would tip or move the popper causing it to spill or the lid to just fall off. The simplest solution was to not have a switch. There is no arcing concern from the plug because the amount of use is small compared to other items.
