Aiguilles, fouets et fibre optique de light-painting DIY

Voici les instructions pour construire ce connecteur DIY en tige acrylique et fibre optique.

Matières premières

• 10mm acrylic rod: amzn.to/39807Uz
• 5mm fiber optic cable: amzn.to/2QvnOjj
• 0.75mm fiber optic wire cable: amzn.to/317EfnY

Options non DIY dans notre boutique

• Needles: lightpainting.store/products/needlelights
• Flex needles: lightpainting.store/products/flex-needlelights

Pour le connecteur, vous aurez besoin de :

• One 1-inch inner diameter PVC pipe
• One 1-inch to 1-inch PVC pipe coupler
• One ¾ inch PVC pipe glue on cap. (make sure that the outer diameter of the bottom of the cap is 1 inch)
• One roll of black tape. (we used black gaffers’ tape in the demo, but duct tape will do)

Voici quelques outils suggérés pour effectuer le travail :

• A drill
• A ½ inch drill bit
• Any type of saw suitable for pipe cutting.

Voici les étapes

1. Cut a 3-inch length of pipe.
2. Put the cap upside down inside the coupler. This will allow you to drill a ½ inch hole in the center of the cap without the drill bit drifting side to side. Then flip the cap and press-fit it right side up in one end of the coupler.
3. Slide the tool through the hole you made and make a tape puck big enough to fill the inside of the cap.
4. Fit your 3-inch long pipe inside the other end of the coupler.
5. Cover everything in tape to avoid any light leak.
