Okay, guys. I need some expertise with my next project 2 projects.
Project 1: The Wardrobe /w LED lights and privacy film
I will be using steel black pipe cause I’m going for a steampunk type look.
my inspiration is the following:
Imagine that the back of the wardrobe is clear or maybe slightly opaque acrylic. I am trying to keep as much light in my tiny apartment. But I want to have privacy if I have guests over and need to change. So I want to use pdlc film for the back to get the following effect:
I also want to have LED lights in the wardrobe as closet lights. Maybe hook it up to the film so that when the led’s come on the acrylic glass turns completely opaque so I have privacy to change and whatnot.
Does anyone know where online I can get the pdlc film? My initial online search has let me know that I"m going to have to source the film from outside the country. If anybody knows of a reputable seller on like alibaba or aliexpress please let me know. If anybody has had any experience with using pdlc film I would really really really value your input.
Project 2: Cat tree with LED lights and resin
I’m not even sure where to start with this project. but the following pics are the inspiration.
@Lantana that film is quite amazing. I did a quick search - looks so expensive. I agree you’re probably going to have to source directly from China to get the best deal. How much do you think you’ll need?
I did a project a few years back with glow in the dark powder and resin. I got my powder from Ebay.ca . I don’t remember the specific vendor I ordered from but there are lots of listings.
For resin I used UV Poxy made by Ecopoxy and mixed the glow in the dark powder. It seemed to work ok. The glow does not last forever. Maybe 20-30 minutes after being excited with light.
I recently bought a big kit of xtc3d and have no use or desire to use it, it’s in the casting section in the “free to use” materials spot, have at it. As for uv pigments, Fibertek carries a bunch.
