Great video, man!

[@FabWorks80]

Nice!! Excellent idea to diffuse the LED, I will need to try this tip....Thank you for sharing!

[@garlandsworkshop]

Awesome solution

[@Biru_to]

You can consider sanding the LED's plastic, to make the LED itself already more diffuse. Thanks for the tip, essentially you've made an edge-lit mirror. 👍

[@thelastoutpostworkshop]

That's a great idea!

Open cell packing foam or cotton balls may work as well. Even toilet paper might help

[@JeremySeitz]

I've used synthetic pillow stuffing with good results

Apakah bisa acrylic diganti dengan kaca ukuran 5 mm?

[@thelastoutpostworkshop]

Menurut saya tidak, seperti yang Anda lihat di video, akrilik tidak tembus cahaya, melainkan agak buram

[@shahraizayoub4369]

Because you Design a new Bright 🌞 light led

[@garlandsworkshop]

Great method.
I’m interested in how the top acrylic sits flush on the top with tape around the sides on a zero clearance square opening…and also not show the aluminum tape from the front.
Fantastic effect

[@thelastoutpostworkshop]

Actually I don't use zero clearance, the hole is inset around 2mm to allow gluing the acrylic tiles at the back of the panel. The aluminum tape is not visible this way, I make sure of that when I glue the acrylic tiles.

[@ssskids123]

Fantastic effect! Apologies if I missed it, but where do you get the acrylic tiles. Do you make them or have a source online?

[@thelastoutpostworkshop]

I make them with my laser cutter

[@jeremiahbullfrog9288]

@ssskids123 You can cut acrylic with woodworking tools. Wear eye protection because knockoff plastics can shatter (often sold as "acrylic"). Make one side diffuse with 180-240 grit sandapaper.

[@kolbgael8351]

Is it possible to get the link to the raw acrylic panel you used ? (Before you cut it to tiles)

[@thelastoutpostworkshop]

I am using the satin clear version, I buy it from this manufacturer : www.engraving-supplies.ca/acrylic-sheets/troglass-satins.html

[@jessg7144]

you think FOIL has the same effect?

[@thelastoutpostworkshop]

yes

[@jessg7144]

Got some on hand. Will try. Thanks 👍🏽
