    Also to anyone that decides to build this to keep in mind..... on the LED filament... there is a small hole on one side that’s how you tell the difference between negative and positive leads

    I've only just started working with leds/lighting of any kind and it still scares me half to death. Watching you dismantle a bulb and rewire it gives me the (envy) spooks.

    Love it. It's so amazing to see how much thought and electrical engineering goes into adding one custom made laser to the model.

    Another fantastic build! Looks awesome! For the converging lasers try electroluminescent wires. EL wire. Might need a little bigger model but might get the look you want.

    would it matter me just wiring the filaments straight up to a usb cable without the driver? feel like its only needed for the switch no?

    • @IconicProps
      @IconicProps 3 года назад +3

      The driver probably changes the output. You can test the output of the usb with a voltage meter and compare it to the driver output. If the driver has the same out put, yes, you are correct, you can wire it straight to the usb.

    I am fascinated by the use of these filament bulbs, after some investigation I found that you can buy those filament wires cheap from China without the bulb part. Also comes in red, blue and green glow.. Also found a flexible version filament that might be cool for a project. Keep up the good work!

    • @Boylei
      @Boylei  4 года назад

      From what I have found, all the colorful ones and the long flexible ones are for high voltage only. I’ve played around with high voltage and its rather precarious.
      You can buy the components of the driver separately, but I like that everything is included with the bulbs.

    This looks sick. I only wish they made it so that you could run both wires out the bottom of one of the filament rods, that way it would look better when it’s not in the dark. Awesome build man, can’t wait to see what you do with the star destroyer

  • @lucaviggiani2189
    @lucaviggiani2189 3 года назад

    Excellent video and tutorial.
    I just took one of these bulbs apart and in my haste, I managed to damage two of the filaments. That is to say, the outer part of the filament was quite delicate and while I was cutting it off the tree of wires that it’s mounted on, this outer shell split. I don’t suppose this outer part is repairable with clear tape?
    Still, I managed to get four filaments out and the driver works really well. Can’t wait to use it.

    Very cool project. Amazing job. Have you possibly given thought to running the secondary wire alongside the led? Since the amperage is so low with one led, you could possibly use a piece of extremely light gauge copper wire that is insulated with the enamel coating. Some of those wires are as fine as a hair. Perhaps a future project.

  • @jeremydeering8280
    @jeremydeering8280 3 года назад

    This is fantastic. Quick question. I have followed the steps, but when I touch the LED to the wires it is bright at first, then fades to barely a glow. I used the exact same light bulb, as well as an old USB cable. Is it the fact I am using a 5v adapter instead of 12v? The only other thing I can think of is that I messed up the soldering somehow.
