[@frankdoss6313]

A fiber optic egg?

[@juliebaker6969]

At least you cought the missing one BEFORE you poured the resin.

[@MrGerhardGrobler]

Great result. Love it. Stars at night. As I suspected, You cannot see the optic fibers inside the resin. So next time you use black resin, put the cable tie inside the resin. It will not show in the final product.

[@mikksweeney8804]

Another great video. Just out of curiosity where did you get the stamp made?

[@I.am.Sarah.]

@@mikksweeney8804 He probably made it himself 😃

[@LostWhits]

Ancient astronomers had vivid imaginations to see what they saw with a couple dots in the sky. I saw fibre optics used in a cars roof lining for a starry sky effect. I think your take was a pretty decent effort.

[@ExtinctionEntity07]

This was really cool my friend! I can only imagine what that looked like in person. I think that if you were to cut the wire and add a dimmer to it, you might be able to make less bright at night :)

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Mate! Yeah 👍

[@susancollicott7473]

Pot cam can never be boring! Pot cam is our favorite part! What an amazing idea for a project!

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Susan 😊

[@RandomBogey]

I’ve been trying to come up with something to do with fiber optics and resin for awhile now and just the other day was wondering how I could incorporate fiber optics into a resin lightbulb mold I have. Kind of a weird coincidence you publish this video now after I’d just been thinking about it. Not sure how much it would apply to this project, but a good way to bundle fiber optics is to use a tube of black heat shrink. It holds them tightly together, instead of a single point like a zip tie where they fray out in every which way when cut, and it makes the bundle more like a rod and a lot easier to cut a nice flat condensed surface for the light to hit. The astrological signs on the black background is a really cool concept, though. Personally, I think I would’ve used either a color changing LED to make the stars change colors or a flickering tea light candle LED to make the stars twinkle. If you wanted to get really crazy, you could bundle the fibers together by sides, put black heat shrink around each individual bundle, cut them all flat, and use heat shrink to attach a color changing LED to each bundle. The black heat shrink would isolate each LED so that the light doesn’t bleed together, then wire all four LEDs together. They’ll all start the same color, and changing at similar rate, but they’ll fall out of sync with each other pretty quick and all four sides would be a different color. Would love to see another fiber optic resin idea

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Mate, cool idea 👍

[@sheldonramlogan8453]

Love how Ben is a genius but still makes oopsies! Turned out great.

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Mate 😊

[@Ella4001]

Just a Thought!!! WHAT IF you made it a SPHERE!!!!! With a LED base for a sphere! It will give it a 3D effect! Or do a globe like when youo see a satalite photo at night and see the continent lights!!! PLEASE TRY THE CHALLENGE. PS Love your work and channel

[@KalijahAnderson]

I ove how in these videos when it gets to the sanding part, everyone becomes the Flash. :P

[@Andoryuuu]

I'd love to see you make a Borg Cube from Star Trek in this style, probably wouldn't be too easy and would take a lot more fibre optics than this one, but I think it would look amazing.

[@Armouredkitty89]

This. Please this

[@TheConwoman3]

Wow! Never would of thought of making constellations Brillant! I really love this one.💖💖

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Connie 😊

[@aveleziii]

that was incredible. the depth of color in the light, then the brightness in the dark. very cool build

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou 😊

[@susanheston4483]

The night light is beautiful! Great idea to use your families Zodiac signs. You think up the best projects. Thanks Ben

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Susan 😊

[@LinaScott]

Turned out really good. In the past I had to mushroom the fibre optic ends for better visual, but that was 20+ years ago when LEDs were not as bright as they are now. 😊

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Lina 😊👍

[@raywaltersjr.2146]

Well, Ben , once again this is awesome bud. You have a coolest ideas very creative. Good job.

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Mate

[@robewalk2]

As the project took shape Ben I wasn't sure how it would turn out since I have no experience with optic fibers except for a Christmas tree we had that used optic fibers to light it up. The night light was a great idea and came out smashing. Well done Ben!

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Bob 😊

[@lechatbotte.]

That’s so cool. I’m amazed at your skill. It came out beautifully.

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou 😊

[@alexa7t7]

One of my favorite so far, I love it!!! Now...who is the cool Aquarius in the family?! :)

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou! Both Nicole and I 😊

[@newbiegamelover4767]

I actually didn't see that fiber that avoided the zip tie! XD Also, I've always loved optic fibers! I've got three Christmas trees with them, and even a flower display that contains them, too!

[@KevinJamesLaw]

Would have been cool chucking it on the lathe, turning it into a ball! Maybe next time.

[@lisamaries5677]

Absolutely gorgeous!!! Just wow!!! What a creative idea!! 👌

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Lisa 😊

[@DrFeelGoood]

you are definitely one of the most creative creators in the resin department. Amazing job, so beautiful. I haven't dabbled in resin much, but I think this might be a contender for a first project... sadly I do not have the tools for woodworking so ill have to improvise the base.

[@leisongivangomo5656]

Oh WOW! The possibilities are endless! Please do more with fiber optics!!!!!!!!

[@scottdunbar4898]

What a beautiful labor of love. Thanks for the video.

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Scott

[@rustywrx]

That came out awesome! Nice work :D If you put a zippie tie around the cable inside the base, it'll prevent it from pulling out and messing up the led :)

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Mate 👍

[@mystic_tacos]

Ben, I watch several chans that work with resin, and they are all great in their own rights, but you, sir, come up with some OUTSTANDING ideas that almost always turn out stunningly beautiful or masterclass.

[@coconutBarnes]

MATE, you glued the fibre optics OVER THE BLACK DOTS, clever!

[@Brimannn1]

This would look cool on a giant sphere!

[@SunInOz_Menagerie]

While I don’t really go for the star sign… what a great project! Also really enjoyed the old music back in your video. It’s like coming home. Thanks Ben.

So different, fabby idea. I really like how the purple mica swirled around the fibers. I couldn't see if the weird cool face stayed. I absolutely love fiber optic, good one 👍⭐

That’s another beautiful piece of art work . Keep up the amazing work . God bless you and your family and stay safe .

This is an incredible piece you made. It looks amazing. Great job. Cheers to my fellow Gemini.

[@stevietimmerman6920]

That is the coolest thing I have ever seen.

[@benw6952]

I’ve really wanted to try making a night light by casting EL wire (a bit like fibre obtics but the entire thing glows). Might have to try it now after seeing this!

[@pmedic523]

Holy. Freaking. Crap. That was INCREDIBLE!!! I'm not big into astrology but that would be really cool to make for someone with regular constellations like Orion, The big dipper, little dipper, etc. This is something I really want to try now...

[@marty01957]

Turned out beautiful, Ben! I love it!

[@crispy9566]

I've had this idea in my mind for years. Wanted to make a wedding ring box, never got around to it :)

[@Its_just_Dave.]

Definitely really cool. I saw a video a few months ago of some guy that made a “star light” cube with optical fibers and cement. I thought it looked like garbage and wasn’t very bright. I wondered “how would Ben go about making a similar cube” and you sir did a way better job. I love the fact you made constellations instead of just randomly sticking the fibers, and you personalized it with family. Really awesome! 👍

[@TheBeerBox80]

Wow beautiful work as always Ben!

[@ERKNEES2]

What a extraordinary idea!

[@JR-rk5dr]

[@HappyHarryHardon]

My parents in the early 1970’s had a glass fiber optic lamp where the individual strands were tightly joined at one end and allowed to flower out on the other. The bound end was attached right above a turning multi colored wheel that had a gradient color film and A C9 bulb under that. The “umbrella” of fiber optics turned independently giving a beautiful effect at night. Early 1970’s, so yes it can be done.
