For on/off control, maybe a magnet - you can get very small hall sensors.

[@ilSySTeMli]

Trust me he's not gonna settle for an On/Off switch He is gonna make a version with light ans sound activation (in particular sound is his jam) :D

[@kelpsie]

A hall sensor-based tap tempo bpm counter would be sweet. One tap for on/off, multiple taps to detect BPM and change the pattern accordingly.

[@robbiekavanagh2802]

That's a cool idea, the magnet could be hidden in an accompanying ring!

⚠️ As a professional tattoo artist for over 30 years, I can tell you that you’re on to something very big here. I recommend reaching out to some of the bigger names in the piercing community for advice if needed and a possible colab in getting this to market. Seriously, the piercing world has been waiting for something new and different for a long while. Great job!

I'd definitely get something like this if given the opportunity

They would be expensive. Look at how much time it took to make one, with no guarantee of success with them. If gost is no object, why not reach out to him via his website?.

[@Hyo9000]

I’m reading the blogpost, and I must point out that nickel is best avoided in jewelry since it induces sensitivity in the long run. Most people who wear nickel jewelry end up becoming allergic to it. So I’d suggest you make both of the end caps for v2 :3

[@lynes2peters438]

Or just metal plate them :)

[@conorstewart2214]

@@lynes2peters438 over time plating can wear out, but this probably isn’t meant to be worn much, given the battery life, so it would probably be fine.

Also for comfort some kind of rounded caps or just rounded out edges on the end caps would be a big plus for redesign.

[@bombdiggity7196]

Amazing project! Handcrafted precision, machining… With LEDs! There’s no way this wasn’t going to be an awesome project. But how come nobody’s giving you credit for the exceptional camera work? I have to think that filming at that scale was as much a challenge as anything in the project itself. Wow, for all of it.

[@sprinteroptions9490]

man's a true artist indeed.

[@soggybiscotti8425]

You just buy an appropriate lense my dude. Not that hard.

[@bombdiggity7196]

@@soggybiscotti8425 Well if you’ve done it yourself then I’ll take your word for it. But to me the appropriate lens seemed like the least of it. Lighting it all, positioning the camera(s) and honestly just capturing the work while you’re actually doing it. And then doing it scene after seeing after scene… All of that seems like a pretty immense task. Maybe it’s just me.

[@soggybiscotti8425]

@bombdiggity7196 admittedly I'm a professional photographer, not videographer or video editor, but I have enough experience to know that it's not particularly difficult with some simple lighting and the correct lense/lenses filter. But don't get me wrong, it's filmed fairly well and looks nice. Not trying to give him a hard time at all, just saying it's not particularly difficult to film so you are aware. I will however give him credit for his camera positioning and whatnot. Some of the shots look quite good and are well placed. Some are a bit off but also some of thst comes down to picky personal choice, particularly from someone in a field where shots are everything and need to be perfect. You are right though, he has some nice lighting in some of the shots too. Some better than others, but all round very good 👍 I also mainly shoot on film so, it needs to be taken pretty much flawlessly on the day. I'm not into using an enlarger to correct positioning and whatnot. But some people aren't as picky and as traditional to their approach. It's certainly easier to do digital work. Would make my job far faster and easier, but to a detrement of quality and it loses my signature look as I habe a very specific method of developing thst achieves a particular balance of sharpness and grain. But anyway, that's going off on a bit of a tangent. For ehat it is, you're right though. He did a great job 👍

[@yoctometric]

A very well earned "Damn!" at the end. Incredible machining and filming!

[@lexi_hana]

I dont usually watch this type of content, but it was recommended to me by KZbin. But even though I am an alien to the mini electronics world, I couldn't help but be absolutely devastated when that LED stopped working. This craftsmanship is so unbelievably delicate and beautiful to watch, with almost a storyline, so when things go wrong it's like watching your favourite character not quite make it to reaching the victory you had hoped for. Nevertheless, I love your work and your evident care and all around calmness.

[@Meoiswa]

The UV Amulet was already impressive, this is clearly next level. I love the trick of using slightly off phase patterns, my VRChat avatar uses a similar technique to get light patterns that _seem_ random despite being entirely controlled by simple animation loops, using prime number ratios to ensure a large number of permutations.

[@mint530]

that's really clever

[@rh9909]

Absolutely mad lad; You always choose the harder way: the soldering, the machining, everything. And that's so charming.

[@kaefjot08]

It's so satisfying to watch you with your calm voice and well chosen words when you develop and manufacture such an awesome project!

[@Scodiddly]

Interesting that the epoxy adds a bit of a light guide effect, that dead spot still gets a bit of light from the next one in line. If the next one is RGB then maybe take advantage of that.

[@Blenster]

As someone who has sometimes done work at that scale and has tried showing it on camera I'm deeply impressed with the skill you demonstrate doing both at once! Much better than my attempts thus far.

[@pl6592]

Implementing micro-electronics into our everyday wear is truly the next step in fashion

[@mikeselectricstuff]

For cutting holes in the needle, a dremel abrasive cut-off disc may be a simple option - if you're epoxy-filling, the shape of the hole may not matter too much.

[@HYDRA_MARK_VI]

In French : Les résidus microscopiques du disques abrasifs ne sont peut-être pas une très bonne idée pour un piercing je pense... risque d'infection a cause d'un corps étranger dans l'organisme. In english trad : The microscopic residues of the abrasive disc may not be a very good idea for a piercing I think... risk of infection because of a foreign body in the organism.

[@NebulaHatesWatchdog]

​@@HYDRA_MARK_VI In English: I imagine that if you cleaned the needle after making the holes, that risk would be reduced. I'm not an expert though. Definitely a good point to think about when when creating something like an earring that will come into contact with a piercing. In French: Je suppose que si vous nettoyez l'aiguille après avoir fait les trous, ce risque sera réduit. Mais je ne suis pas un expert. C'est en tout cas un bon point à prendre en considération lorsque l'on crée quelque chose comme une boucle d'oreille qui entrera en contact avec un piercing.

Look up titanium alloy tweezer. They are extremely fine tiped but still feel very sturdy and handle well.

[@debrainwasher]

This work reminds me to work for a military intelligence agency a couple of years ago to build a UDP-bug into a RJ45-UTP network patch cable. The microphone, with preamplifier and microcontroller from a hearing-aid product went into one connector, the other took the power-supply. Since ordinary Ethernet without PoE does not have a supply voltage, I used two miniature transformers with a Schottky diode array to get the supply power from data lines and charge a small supercap. Once plugged into a PC and a switch, everything worked as usual, but the bug sends scrambled audio-data as UDP-packets to a programmable IP-address, where the data stream is decoded and recorded.

[@alistairmurray626]

This is awesome, if you're unsure about the food grade epoxy being safe, you could use some medical grade 3D printing resin, cures clear with UV light, it's the stuff printed ear moulds (for hearing aids) are made from nowadays. Maybe you could do a project with ear moulds? bluetooth paired in ear monitors with leds that flash depending on what you're listening to? wireless charging maybe?

[@Ardyvee]

I'm not too keen on jewelry, but I am tempted to wear this as is. I think that it'd be nice for it to have some sort of clock or light detection so that it doesn't try to shine during the day. It is, after all, most striking in low light conditions. It'd be the kind of unstated accessory while out and about in the day to day, yet come night, it'd draw the eye. My other concern would be what if it gets wet. Being in the ear, it's not unthinkable that you could be caught out in the rain with it, so it'd be nice if it didn't die from it.
