I've noticed that you can use clear PETG filament as a light pipe, so you could always use that to transmit light from a central light source, like those old fiber optic lamp things - saves all that tricky wiring.
It is i teresting how these 2 parts feel. Hers look so natural, alive and pure. Yours on the other hand is dark, glowing and mystical. I love both parts. Very cool video.
Bjorn - do you mean germimontes explanation or my remark? He just stated (correctly)that any battery already has resistance (called 'equivalent series resistance') because of the way they are constructed. That can for some batteries be several ohms - enough to limit the current for LEDs. And i added to that that you should not rely on that resistance because that can vary greatly from battery to battery, between battery types, temperature and how much charge is left. And it causes more heat in the battery and can cause problems.
Both of those are dope. they contrast each other. I like the "techno" look of the plug in. And the other looks more organic. And I can't think of any possible time when having a portable mushroom light is a bad idea...
I saw one where the guy made the mushrooms out of hot glue. this is awesome! It's so cool that there are so many different ways to achieve similar results!
1) Buy heatshrink tubing. Use it to cover stuff so you don't need to worry about shorts. You can get assortments for almost nothing from ebay, including transparent. 2) Trim your wires shorter, there is no need to leave the whole leg on the LED or resistor. 3) Learn the Western Union/Lineman Splice. Try to make it so after you are done, no extra wire is visible under the splice at all. Cover with heatshrink.
Those are beautiful! I actually prefer yours a bit because the mushrooms are more bundled, and the colours look more "bioluminescent" to me. Either way, this makes for a very enchanted mood.
Both are really cool in their own individual ways. Would make really great night lights for children. Especially if a battery version used a rechargeable cell. It runs until the battery dies then glows a little bit longer.....recharge in the morning.
This was an inspiration. I love both. I can only make one but the side by side steps show how to to advance to a 3d version. I am going to make my own soon from clay on or bathroom sealant for the caps. Super job thank you
Awesome project! The colour change that you pointed out, gave me the idea that it would be cool if the LEDs would smoothly transition between on and off with different time intervals. Probably at a pretty slow rate. I think that would look super cool.
A really nice effect for first experiment. I like the UV glow when lights are off and the soft light when they are on. Perhaps a 555 chip to alternate the time on and off would be really cool. Good job on both.
Great projects. Very inspiring. I'd take Devon's for the two color mushroom caps. The stones were cool but some crafting moss would have completed the forest floor motif. Terrific work you two!
I have a little glowing mushroom nightlight that looks almost exactly like the mushrooms you made. They are on a sensor that allows them to be off when it senses light and on when it’s dark
You nailed it. I love your videos! Just a tip for the next time: you could've trimmed off the LED terminals before soldering it. It would've taken a lot less space.
Both are so creative and cute, I made my own with clay since don't own a 3D printer and some with my 3D pen but took too much time so i decided clay is more productive and real wood but the only touch i added is to use either yellow leds or paint the white with a yellow or orange marker because i find the white to bright. I follow your videos a couple weeks I ve seen almost any video you have and I find this channel and your effort very instructable and I learned a tone of thinks for 3D printing like kinds of plastic or models etc. My favore by far video is your effort with the fabric experiments....Now iam trying to build a small cnc like A4 bed using my 3D pen for printing and i don't know if it works but I like, like you to do experiments.....thanks dude keep on
Cool idea D. They look awesome. A dimmer switch would work for the power to the led’s also. Just an idea it may give you different effects. But really cool lamps...
Hey dude. Just thought I'd say you did great! I know you felt a bit funny about how crowded your mushrooms were, but tbh, those types of fungi do tend to crowd themselves like that. So in that respect you did great!! 😄
Awesome job .... a couple of suggestions use some moss for model RR. use electronic hook up wire to make it easier to solder and fish the wires through
The battery doesn't create it's own resistance, while it has an internal resistance like literally everything even wires. It's the current output of the battery that limits it. That type appears to be only capable of outputting 55mA. At 3V per led, 11 leds I'll assume 3 circuits. So that means each LED will experience about 18mA max
This is super cool! It shows that 3D prints are awesome but you can still do stuff just as well or even better without one! Love your vids btw you’re super cool! I’ve been working on a coin sorter (UK coins) and soon I’ll get to print it at school! Keep up your great videos 😁😁😁
One time I did what you did with the resistor mistake, but I put a LOT more current than you did on accident. Let's just say that I still have the pieces of glass/plastic in my hand... P.S It would have been so cool if you did this on a bonzai tree
These mushrooms are adorable!!!! I wish I had the materials to make them! I've always liked magical things like little glowing mushrooms. Edit: how did you get 1 👎???!!!
I've seen someone create something similar (DIYperks???) with silicone caulk, so it's fascinating to see two other methods! I don't have access to 3D printing or really know what I'm doing with clay, so I'd probably use the silicone, but it's so great to see that it's possible with a wide variety of materials. I really like both, but I think I like yours the best. It has a lovely subtle fantasy feel, and while both are quite accurate to how mushrooms grow, I grew up with some forest land and that thick, crowded cluster of mushrooms is very familiar. I kinda want to decorate my whole house with them...
Dude, your way of making yours was a puzzle made already for you. Like, drilling through holes and trying to place wires inside, you just made it harder for yourself.
Those are absolutely gorgeous! I could imagine having a few like Natalie's hanging at different levels on my wall, with yours sitting on shelves or my nightstand. I don't have a 3D printer or pen (though I might get a pen... Probably the 3doodler create since I saw some on Amazon for ~$30) so the clay will be great. Maybe I can water down some paint to color the caps a bit or highlight grooves and such. Can't wait to try this someday!
Though for a switch, I'll have to see if they have something like those lamps where you tap it to turn it on and off and connect or incorporate it into one of the mushrooms or something.
My 3d printer will arrive soon! I bought the Anycubic kossel delta printer, it's a kit so it'll take quite some hours before I can print the first print. I'm really exited to test some of your projects :). I've designed some of my own products and I hope to develop them now with a prototyping 3d printer.
That is seriously cool ...5 stars on this vid !!! Did you make the mushroom designs yourself and are the stl's available to buy please, the use of the 3d pen is new over here in europe, that was amazing to see how well it worked. I have my own printers and would love to have a go over here, thank you
If you take the clay rout like she did and don't have a 3D printer try making a template with paper for cutting the back plate. A light tack glue to hold down the template will help a lot and a jeweler's saw to cut. This will give you more material options beyond plastic like metal or wood. Some light sanding may be needed.
So cool! I like how you showed both methods. Is the clay nontoxic? Would love to add these to my dart frog vivarium, but want to ensure it’s ok for them to sit on
Rule of thumb, 3mm and 5mm LEDs will usually have a current rating of 20mA. But 20mA might still be a bit too bright, so you can always go for 10mA or 5mA.
I think both of them look awesome, but I kind of like yours a little more Devin. I've been wanting to make a live edge desk top out of this slab of pecan. I plan to epoxy resin fill the void to make it resemble water and now I am picturing some mushrooms integrated into the project. Thank you.
Well yours is obviously cooler. It glows and changes color, and has seemingly impossible wiring. But you're a professional maker. It's not a fair contest.
You should add an arduino or something to the UV one so they slowly pulse and fade between UV and glowing. That would look amazing and you probably have plenty of room in the base already.
I like them both. The 3D printed one would've really stood out if you added a simple pulsing circuit to allow the mushrooms to go from light to glow very slowly and perhaps even a bit randomly.
I absolutely love both of these! I wish I had a 3d printer. :/ I only have a little pen, so I wouldn't be able to do this with a 3d printer. But I'd probably try the sculpy version, because I'm somewhat adept at sculpting. But I love the idea of the glowing mushrooms. I need to find out where you got all the internal stuff for these!
I would take transparent filament and one big light in that big hole instead of many wires and leds So the light would get sended trough the transparent filament and they would shine at the ends of the filament wires
Those are both so cool looking. I think a mixture of the clay sculpted stems and the 3d printed heads would look killer
I agree, the clay stems are nicer, and my glowing ones barely glow anyways...
This is so cool! I definitely like the options of with or without the 3D printers, so cool!
It's not a competition, they're both wonderful & oh so beautiful! They go well together. Use them both to give a theme to the whole room!
Those are some magical mushrooms right there!
Both are equally fantastic in their own right. I didn't realise Natalie was so creative. Huge respect to you both.
I've seen these made with colored silicone too, good all 3 ways. Gotta say. Still wanna make some larger outdoor ones some day.
Mc Key dat would be legendary
I'm plannin on making large outdoor ones now too. I'm currently buying and sourcing materials. We will have to share!!!
Could you use ping pong balls, cut them in half for larger caps, paint any color you want?
I think I would make each light Turn off and on slowly and random.
I had the same thought, but I also had enough trouble just making the darn things light up 😅
You would probably need to use an arduino to do that.
Or crappy connections :P
Make Anything Follow-up video? :D
Robert Pirlot if only i knew how to wire things.
There both cool.
I like the random organic clay growth more than the perfection of a printer.
Thanks for the video ☺
WHERE THE HECK DID YOU GET *BLACK* HOT GLUE?!
Craft stores, I’ve got some that’s like glitter glue, super cool looking stuff.
You order it, and usually you'll get the really good stuff, very sticky.
Do you live under a rock?
OK
I got this particular black hot glue at a Daiso in Japan :P

I love both parts. Very cool video.
the battery has an equivalent series resistor, which means the current it can deliver is limited by the internal composition of the battery
true, but you should never rely on that.
Can you speak english please?
Bjorn - do you mean germimontes explanation or my remark?

Bjornar Selboskar lol. Engineer speak is its own language
@@bjornarselboskar1766 on the girl verson they didn't use resistors
Both of those are dope. they contrast each other. I like the "techno" look of the plug in. And the other looks more organic.
And I can't think of any possible time when having a portable mushroom light is a bad idea...
I would totally pay for the 3d printed one...soo cool! and I bet it's really calming when it's glowing in the dark
I saw one where the guy made the mushrooms out of hot glue. this is awesome! It's so cool that there are so many different ways to achieve similar results!
Natalie's was best looking one in the end. The caps and stems of the mushrooms look more organic.
Natalie’s looks more like realistic yet glowing mushrooms. Yours has more fantastical colours. I love them both
Both mushroom lamps were gorgeous and looked like someone stole them from an enchanted forest! This is the coolest tutorial ever!
Very cool. I think I like Natalie's best, because you can hang it on a wall to make a really funky cool nightlight.
1) Buy heatshrink tubing. Use it to cover stuff so you don't need to worry about shorts. You can get assortments for almost nothing from ebay, including transparent.
2) Trim your wires shorter, there is no need to leave the whole leg on the LED or resistor.
3) Learn the Western Union/Lineman Splice. Try to make it so after you are done, no extra wire is visible under the splice at all. Cover with heatshrink.
I honestly love both of them! they have their own feel to them and are both so pretty!
I discovered your channel recently, and I absolutely felt in love with the content. Amazing work.
Thanks! I'm glad you found me :)
Well, I cannot say which is better. But I have both materials ready. Creating certainly nice atmosphere!
Those are beautiful! I actually prefer yours a bit because the mushrooms are more bundled, and the colours look more "bioluminescent" to me. Either way, this makes for a very enchanted mood.
Have you checked out DIY Perks video about similar mushroom lights?
That was the first thing we thought of when we saw the thumbnail for this one 😃 Good ol' Perks 😊
Before I read who it was by, I thought this was a DIY perks vid.
Just came from there
Both are really cool in their own individual ways. Would make really great night lights for children. Especially if a battery version used a rechargeable cell. It runs until the battery dies then glows a little bit longer.....recharge in the morning.

Awesome project! The colour change that you pointed out, gave me the idea that it would be cool if the LEDs would smoothly transition between on and off with different time intervals. Probably at a pretty slow rate.
I think that would look super cool.
I have no idea how one would accomplish that by the way.
So excited for the next pixel episode. Those are my favorite of your episodes 😁
A really nice effect for first experiment. I like the UV glow when lights are off and the soft light when they are on. Perhaps a 555 chip to alternate the time on and off would be really cool. Good job on both.
nice, this is definetely one of your best projects!

Great projects. Very inspiring. I'd take Devon's for the two color mushroom caps. The stones were cool but some crafting moss would have completed the forest floor motif. Terrific work you two!
Pretty sure that's the coolest lamp ever. I really want to make one now.
you nailed it with this project

I really like how it turned out
You nailed it. I love your videos! Just a tip for the next time: you could've trimmed off the LED terminals before soldering it. It would've taken a lot less space.
I've watched a ton of your video's and of all your projects this one is definitely my new favorite
Very nice project! This is a must try!
I love BOTH!!! So awesome!!!
I say DIY Perks do this a long time ago with silicone, I love seeing your take on it. 😃
Jeeez!! It looks like it came out of a fairytale! So cute!
This is SO COOL! I likes both of them. But I would prefer to put some green moss on them so they look even more realistic 👍
Both are so creative and cute, I made my own with clay since don't own a 3D printer and some with my 3D pen but took too much time so i decided clay is more productive and real wood but the only touch i added is to use either yellow leds or paint the white with a yellow or orange marker because i find the white to bright.

See how its really done that looks so much better DIY perks channel
I like both in there on way. The pebbles on yours is so awesome but I would use less mushrooms but I'm not creative enough to pull off ether of them
Very cool and beautiful! Wish I had the patience to figure out things like that. Lol.
With Natalie's design, I would use a warmer, golden led. Not too keen on the pure blue for such a warm design
18 mins 😭😭 my day has been blessed ❤️❤️
I always love( can’t pick a side between you and Natalie) these kind of projects, also can you make 3-d printed instruments 🎻 please
Best 3d channel on youtube SRSLY

this is so incredibly good! I can't stand it! Thank you for sharing!!!!
I'm not cursing you, but I really think that accidentally merging filament like that really makes it look better and i hope you have it again
I like yours WAAAAAY better I love things that glow in the dark and I love black lights I want to make one and put it in my room
you both did a great job!
Those are absolutely gorgeous! I could imagine having a few like Natalie's hanging at different levels on my wall, with yours sitting on shelves or my nightstand.

Excellent video. Love both designs. Great resourceful mind with easy to follow clear steps. Thanks 👍
Both are equally cool! Creating lots of ideas, awesome video! =)
Try using the software Magica Voxel! It’s a 3D modeling software to make for making voxels!
Wow, this is absolutely amazing!!!

Beautiful... Very nice work... thank you for sharing your process and experience :)
Very awesome. I'm actually doing this in a bit of a diff technique but when my cr10 mini arrives, I'll be utilizing it as well now. :)
Sooooo dope! Thanks for sharing!!!!
wow. it is beautiful! thanks for sharing this video.
I can feel some glowing jellyfish coming on . . . : )

Well yours is obviously cooler. It glows and changes color, and has seemingly impossible wiring. But you're a professional maker. It's not a fair contest.

By adding a volume control switch would help you to control the brightness of LED.
You should add an arduino or something to the UV one so they slowly pulse and fade between UV and glowing. That would look amazing and you probably have plenty of room in the base already.
Cool project should print some garden nomes to go with It lol
Amazing job
Great Video, and creative, its cool . Good job
