The hot glue/heat shrink is such a great tip! Definitely going to be using that in the future

It has saved a few of my terrible solder joints! Going to check out the marine heatshrink that was also suggested for future projects

Nice video, keep it up

Omg thank you for this. You just green lit at least three projects I was hesitant about due to not being able to trim. The single ended power and ground is even more incentive now.

@@mikescholz6429 that's awesome! It is really great to have the option to modify them

wait. what! first time to see this LED filament. so cool

Thanks for the amazing tip. This video inspired me to start a project including these LED filaments. I would definitely love to see a tutorial on how you made one of the LED dioramas you showed.

Thats awesome! I will do just that!

I experimented with the same light and while I didn't come out as neat as you , I made / 3d printed a spindle light for my Bridgeport mill. Seeing what you did here inspires me to go redo it as it flickers every now and then due to a poor connection. Thanks and subscribed

They can be really finicky, if I mess with it too much while installing it into something, I sometimes have to resolder a joint. Thanks!

That "cutting a piece of hot glue" tip was genius! Your video was inspiring, concise and well shot, I subscribed, good luck with your channel!

Wonderful!

There already is heat shrink tube with adhesive.

Thanks for doing this experiment! I'd contemplated these since they came out, but the lack of ability to mod them put me off. Also, did I understand correctly that they're wired in parallel, so if you needed them shorter you *could* just cut one? It'd be an interesting experiment to design a tiny connector, as exist (in varying qualities) for strip LED lighting.

They are in parallel! But the positive and negative are wired to each end, so you can cut them and only solder the missing one if you don't mind having a wire on each end of your filament

Using marine heat shrink should be nice for this, because it comes with the glue already coating the inside. When you shrink it the glue melts through and around anything you shrink it onto, without having to balance a tiny sliver of hot glue.
