There's no visible seams because the glass one is blown inside a mold in one solid piece. But I honestly prefer yours because I prefer the diffuse light over the visible lightbar.

9ethergoddess369 6 aylar önce

I would love to see you do this again and add a scene to the base. It would be beautiful with your lighting. I'm sure people would order them. It was beautiful already, but I saw a serene and peaceful world waiting to be born inside. A secret place. Btw, I like yours better. Although the other was smoother, yours was more eye pleasing and peace inspiring. I could get lost in it.

@M water_moon I meant using a mold so that it's all one piece, or at least mostly one piece.

M water_moon 6 aylar önce

@JustYourAverageWeirdo Similar how? Shaped like blown glass? I doubt it, as resin tends to drip and take a VERY long time to set as compared to glass solidifying as it's being blown. Now you COULD do it with plastic, as that is also often injection molded (though it's usually vacuumed into place by sucking air out of the mold rather than air blown into place like glass.) But resin isn't going to go from liquid to solid fast enough to stay in place without drips.

JustYourAverageWeirdo 6 aylar önce

@M water_moon With all this in mind, they probably could've done something similar with resin.

WanderingWolfe Yıl önce

While I do like the smooth seams of the purchase, I find the crafted piece overall more aesthetically pleasing. Your facets seem to show their color individually, the light is far better implemented. Overall, I think yours is simply higher quality. The only real win the purchase has for me is that it is glass. But that's not a huge factor compared to everything else.

jlammetje 8 aylar önce

I think that if you really want glass that you can buy a cheap photoframe and just use that glass (I haven't watched the vid yet, so I don't know how they made theirs...yet).

KukuHaku Yıl önce

I personally LOVE the DIY one more, cause the light source kinda looks invisible? and that's pretty magical to me! The infinity effect is also amazing. The only thing the buy has going for it is the finish. but 10/10 I would choose the DIY over the Buy

So just an FYI: be very careful cutting plastic film with a laser. Most Iridescent film is PET which is perfectly fine to cut with a laser, but be very careful to not cut vinyl based films as they off gas hydrochloric acid which can not only be dangerous to breath in, but can also ruin the mirrors in the laser.

Miss B 8 aylar önce

@Bacon Scooby Snacks nope

Geekwitch Nails 8 aylar önce

@Miss B except....they do things all the time that are dangerous without mentioning it (cough cough, multiple vids of them using resin without respirators or gloves)

HamidKarzai 10 aylar önce

@רוני שביט ריביר on the one hand if you break a laser cutter by blindly imitating an entertainment channel that's kind of on you, but on the other hand I would also prefer them being honest and open about their precautions rather than doing a cheap editing/writing trick to increase excitement, it'd be more respectful of their audience

M water_moon Yıl önce

@Miss B but E&K didn't say that they had checked beforehand. In fact, with editing, they make it look like they just dove in head first and started experimenting. Watching their trouble with applying the film my first thought was "hey, I have some Cricut stuff that might work for that, I bet it might be easier and cheaper!" but it's vinyl, which I don't find out could be VERY dangerous until the comments. And waiting til the comments for warnings is ALWAYS a no-no.

Bacon Scooby Snacks Yıl önce

@Miss B is reading often difficult for you?

Melissa Yıl önce

I was truly torn when I saw the nice smooth edges of the bought one, but like Evan mentioned, there is just something aesthetically pleasing about the sharp edges of the one you made as well. Plus, I love the light base. Gah! Such a hard choice.

Jeff Fu Yıl önce

I love how nonchalant Evan is about answering Katelyn's questions while holding iridescent film in his mouth, total pro. :)

James Yıl önce

They're both giving really dif vibes. But you guys just got your head cracking in there, with the light source! That was so cool, and it has the limitless edgeless feel to it.

Pamela Zimnizzle 6 aylar önce

I’d say that for $200 that lamp was worth it. Your lamp is one of a kind and very modern and a totally different, awesome look! AMAZING WINS for both!

Ezra Yıl önce

They both look really good in the light, but in the dark the DIY one definitely looks considerably better, at least on camera.

spinwitch Yıl önce

They are both beautiful. What I want to see: when the non-servicable light breaks, take the bought one apart and install your kind of base into it. The resulting No 3 would probably beat both in the category aeshtecs.

M water_moon Yıl önce

Very much this! Since cast glass isn't really a diy-able thing, I was hoping they might use the diffusion grating to make a mold and resin it just since that's closer in feel to the cast glass of the bought lamp, but I am ALL about DIY repairs and upgrades to keep things out of landfills.

Safala Bista Yıl önce

Oohhh yes!

Zara Dawkins Yıl önce

Your lamp looks amazing! The diffused light really makes it a win imo. I really like the idea of "buy vs diy" since you're so good at making stuff, can you do more of these?

Catt xx 11 aylar önce

theirs looks like you'd find it in a mystical cave full of fairies, yours looks like it would be a source of energy or light on a vibrant, neon alien planet. both equally as beautiful.

Malcadicta Yıl önce

They're both really good, just completely different vibe. The buy is more of a fantasy-like soft glowing crystal and the DIY version certainly looks fits more in the sci-fi or maybe some cyberpunk-like aesthetics. The only red flag for me when it comes to the buy one is the lack of ability to change the lightbulb. I mean I'm paying all this money, I'd like my lamp to last longer then life of its lightbulb.

piratekit 10 aylar önce

I like the more smokey look of the expensive one, but since the buy version has a spray on finish which gave it that iridescence, I wonder if there is a finish that can be sprayed on to acrylic to come close to that (like frosted glass?) But the made version's sharp lines is a good look too, just not my jam. If the buy version DOESN'T have an LED or an easy way to get in to replace the bulb, that would completely kill it for me.

thorin693 11 aylar önce

@Kaisea my thoughts as well buy the glass one and make your own light's.

Kaisea Yıl önce

@cryofpaine It is absurd that you can't change the bulb. It's honestly a shame because then you could possibly put their light array in the bought shell.

cryofpaine Yıl önce

Plus I don't like the look of the light in the buy. It's just a big glowing rod in the middle. The diffused leds in the base of theirs looks so much cleaner.

M water_moon Yıl önce

On the other side, in a house with a cat, the glued to base is safer and more stable/sturdy. I do hope that there is really a way to change the light short of removing the entire base, but if you want to get down to it, E&K's light base will have to be completely remade once their LEDS start to fail too....

Aurionn Yıl önce

As someone who uses CNC lasers in my shop for around 7 years, I may be able to answer a few of your concerns about the laser. Highly reflective materials can degrade the cutting ability since less of the energy is being absorbed by the material, but it won't reflect back into your tube or damage your machine. The focus length is determined by the lens but power and shape of the beam rapidly diverges and diffuses like a cone on the other side of your focal length. It can't travel back across the mirrors once it goes through the lens because its no longer a cylindrical straight beam like it was before the lens. It can of course damage your eyes so make sure to wear your eye protection with proper filters for the right wavelength as usual. Co2 is 10.6 um and some lasers have filters on the glass viewing window too. As for the "flashes" seen at 6:49 the honeycomb table is reflecting some energy back upwards as the light passes over each metal cell in the honeycomb. Sometimes these reflections can score the underside of your work depending on the power/speed. It can mean that the power is a little too high for the application since a lot of unused energy is remaining after the work is done and the cut is finished. For higher powers, blade tables are good for heavier cuts and remove the frequency of this "backflash" on the underside of your work. Lasers are fun but deserve respect so your cautious approach around them is healthy! Happy making!

M water_moon Yıl önce

And evidently, as someone else pointed out, don't cut vinyl based films as they off gas hydrochloric acid which is bad for you AND the laser....

Maisie S Yıl önce

Thank you for your info! Nice to know the mechanics behind it

carlotta4th Yıl önce

The light reflecting back won't get to the tube, yes, but it will absolutely create more heat in the lens and potentially crack it. Those are wear items anyway but that's a LOT more wear on it.

Mary Swann Yıl önce

@M water_moon Actually, you can do pieces that are several inches in size. There are some beautiful as well as funky fused glass pieces that are done in the microwave kiln. They could do jewelry, ornaments, various art pieces, etc... I am sure they could even do keyboard keys. Ones imagination is the only limit. Having a microwave set aside that you don't use for food is no different than having any other tool set aside that you don't use for food. With their creativity and artistic abilities I am sure they could create very unique items.

M water_moon Yıl önce

@Mary Swann yeah but that's all very limited in size. I think the resin keys/dice are the only things they've made that are really that small. Plus besides the kiln you need a microwave you don't want to make food in. They have the lampworking tools, they'd probably be able to make marbles at least if they really wanted to do more glass work.

Microwave fused glass would be awesome for them to work with using a microwave kiln.

Yes, I saw that video recently and was wondering "hmmm they (Evan and Katelyn) should've gave it a try... it doesn't look that much harder..." of course laser cutting it is much easier, but for the quality... (But for the reflective layer they would need to cut by hand or cricut it...)

If the bought is glass it might be blown into a mold and there is a a coating for glass specifically for iridescent affects. Very hard to compare the make and buy cause they are both so nice and made in very different ways 😍

M water_moon Yıl önce

@sy mark There are paints that contain pigment particles that can reflect light in multi directions, but the pigment is going block light going through it, it's more like micro fine glitter than what the tin salt does with glass. Now what E&K HAVE done before with resin (and I've even seen Ann Reardon from How to Cook That do it with chocolate since it's all texture) is use diffraction grating, which will make rainbows from any light reflected off of it.

M water_moon Yıl önce

@C M Iridized glass is made by spraying metal salts on it while it's still red hot. Ferric (iron) chloride for more of an orange, or "marigold" coloring, with Chloride of antimony on top of that for more of a blue tone, and stannous (tin) chloride for the more typical rainbow effect. If it were dicro (it's not!) it would be metal vapors in a vacuum chamber, have to be done while the glass was still flat, and cost on the order of $2000. No really, a flat circle of dirco glass is 18" in diameter and cost around $200 all by itself, and dicro does not like the kinda temps you need for mold blowing so it'd have to be capped before the pressing and def hand done. The buy they have is a factory piece that was sprayed with stannous chloride as soon as it was taken from the mold before it was annealed.

sy mark Yıl önce

Had to google it, the Corning Museum of Glass shows a video using heated stannous chloride crystals and then holding the glass over the gas to get the iridescent effect. Are there any paints for plastics that can create the same effect? More research is needed, this is such a cool Make :-)

KittySakura Yıl önce

Definitely thought the buy looked molded. How crummy that you can't service it!

Phoenix Hernandez Yıl önce

I didn't think of a mold but that makes a lot of sense for its look

Prince Westerburg Yıl önce

I prefered yours because both the light and angled corners where better - crystals don't have wavy surfaces! BTW You could also make a 'Christmas Star' type design from sheet materials that slotted together or do what BobbyDukeArts did with the recent pictue frame and tear diffraction grating plastic up into shards and drop them into clear epoxy. It looked flipp'in amazing!

Ithirahad Aylar önce

Sometimes large crystals do have some weird 'wavy' stuff going on - I have a big green/brown calcite where all the facets have strange ripples in them.

Renn Yıl önce

@M water_moon I don’t think that the layers over the light are glued on top of the light the layers are glued together but they are staying in place because of the frame surrounding it that is the gold mirror. So it is removable however I am with you on the fact that it would be harder to find a replacement if it was sold commercially vs a simple led bulb

M water_moon Yıl önce

Their light is no more serviceable. Once the LEDS start to fail, the specialty strip is under all those glued layers too.... So if you can get through the glues on either lamp to get to the light element itself, unlike what looks like a florescent tube, specialty LED strips and custom milled parts aren't going to be very readily available.....

I genuinely like the lamping system you all used over the manufactured one.

To get the smooth edges, I'd say they use a vacuum machine. They get a sheet of plastic, melt it (sort of) and then just push it onto a mould. I used one in highschool so I can't remember the exact name of the machine but it was pretty cool

@PuppyArchie yup. it's just blown glass, they have a mold and blow a 'bubble' of molten glass until it takes the shape. also how they make bottles, jars.and lightbulbs

But it’s glass, I think you can vacuum form glass right?

yours is like a lit up clear crystal. you get that gorgeous rainbow effect, the movement, the depth. the bought one looks like a lit up moonstone. it's milkier, and mysterious, but you lose the depth. i like both, tbh. usually I prefer your versions over bought ones, but seriously... they are both gorgeous & i'd love to have both types!

This being a perfect tie is so satisfying!

I think I’d pick your DIY over the buy! It might just for my personal aesthetic more, but I truly think it looks much cooler!

your channel is one of the only channels i can watch when my anxiety is high - you guys really calm me down and create a safe space on youtube - thank you.

having their stream vods on in the background when I'm having a bad anxiety or overwhelm day is the most calming thing... even when I'm not particularly interested in what they're playing they're just calming to listen to

The store bought one feels like Barbie movie magic gems, and the diy one looks kinda like the philosophers stone to me? Like orange and red fire vibes. Very cool!

I like the Buy's smooth rounded edges and brightness. But I like the DIY's base light better. DIY light is softer and more hidden.

I like the sharpness and mainly smoothness of yours more. And you absolutely won in the light department. I'd definitely bought yours. I had blast watching your video yet again, so much fun!

I personally prefer the sharper look of yours, plus the glowing edges look awesome. Also, the mirror finish on yours looks so pretty, kinda like a kaleidoscope. But the metal base on the BUY looks a bit better. Overall your DIY version is much better in my opinion, I'd just make the base a bit thicker in wood, so it looks a bit more aesthetic

I like the one you made more. The sharp edges make it look more crystaline. Plus the sides are much smoother which seems more appropriate. The reflections inside yours change the light colors in a way the store bought doesnt even compare.
