How to Make a Rhombic Dodecahedron Infinity Lamp
Ойын-сауық
This video is about how to make a Rhombic Dodecahedron Infinity Lamp as made (with some changes) by Adam Savage on Tested. Original Video: • Adam Savage's One Day ...
Ingredients:
1.] 8mm wide, 10 meter long, (of which I only used 240 cm), single color, 3000k (color temperature) white LED strip with adhesive backing.
2.] 22 gauge speaker or LED wire.
3.] One 12 inch by 24 inch two-way 40% transparent mirrored Acrylic pane, and an additional 12x12 inch pane, both were 1mm thick.
4.] Scotch Super 33 vinyl tape (or any vinyl tape really).
Tools:
1.] Dremel or similar routing tool (recommend corded, not battery powered, for your sanity).
2.] 561 bit or the standard black grinding disc that a Dremel comes with. But be aware of the amount of plastic this will kick off.
3.] Soldering Iron (I use a weller WE1010NA).
4.] Lead free solder (I use mudder 0.6 mm).
5.] xActo Knife, or a sharp object of your choosing. Sticks aren't a great option.
6.] Scissors.
7.] Paper.
Software:
1.] Not required really, but I used Affinity Designer on Mac and their diamond tool to make the rhombuses (rhombi?). I'm sure gimp (which is a free digital photo editor and art studio [and yes, spelled correctly]) can do the exact same thing.
My Rhombus dimensions:
12 cm per side
X-dimension: 138.56406 mm
Y-dimension: 195.95917 mm

CatatonicCheer: "Bit of a last minute request, so the soundtrack is mostly built using loops from Logic Pro X. My favorite one is the "Genetic Code," loop which is used in its original form around the 9 minute mark. The first song in the video is a riff on that loop to prime your ear for it later on."

I wouldve tried to score and snap the acrylic. That mask does almost nothing for dust, need m95 valve or respirator. Looks good I like the starry effect.
This is amazing seeing someone doing a Adam Savage build
a tile saw cuts so nice and because it uses water nearly all the microplastics are captured in the water tank of the saw
Them sound effects. The best
Wow that was awesome!
I love art, and this is one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen this year. Good job, sir God bless.
Such a good idea...great working...Woo Hoo...unreal beautiful...
Bro this video was amazing!
wow! thanks for making this video! I got really excited to do one myself after seeing that video :) making a list of all the parts i need to buy right now

That's awesome! If you click "Show More" in the description below the video I listed out all the components as well as the exact dimensions of the rhombus that I used if that helps as a starting place!

Hi, I believe everything is going well. We’re company manufacturing LED. We’re located in China Shenzhen. I will be happy if you can share your phone number with us for more informations. Currently, we’re giving best prices for our customers. Thank you!
awesome job!
You made it much better!
Dude you are amazing wholesome and different keep it up king 👑
deserves more likes and subs
Great vid!
That is so awesome
Well done! 😊 Super!
So ideally would you replace all of the acrylic panes with directional 2 way mirrored glass?
Nice!
I don't care what project you make, that commentary is fuken gold! :D But yeah i did end up here because I'm making a hexagon dodecahedron, and Mister Savages video and yours is good for extra input on how to! Good job my man!

Liked the Demogorgon vibe, but the endresult blew me away.
If you leave the protective film on the acrylic it makes cleaner cuts.

I had that thought too. Another person mentioned scoring and snapping the acrylic...
Curious what tablet you were using at the beginning of the video. Loved the content, keep ‘em coming!
Smart af🤘🏽
Could you share a link where you got that acrylic 2 way mirror from? I am planning for a dodecahedron with pentagons as the sides. I want to avoid using a foil but all the offers for coated acryl panels I found until now are destroying my budget :( great video with good explanations

Hey! If you love to tinker, buy acrylic pattern AND transparent mirror-window film. Then: flex the acrylic plates, paste the film on the plates and finally cut the film in the right form. Lovely greetings.
I'm wanting to make something like this but damn the wiring feels overwhelming even though it's probably super simple.
I wonder if a coping saw would work on that acrylic.
I need this for forest
Could you please please please make a cad file that I should share with a laser cutting company to make the rhombuses? I don’t have any experience with CAD
did you try to score and break the mirrored Acrylic ? gives smooth and straight lines/edges. and no dust.. nice project btw.

Which type of glass is used
What are the measurements and angle of the rhombus that u used ???
I too start with only having a dremel. I think I would first cut a diagonal with corners at 70.529° and 109.471°. Then draw the grid of rhombi. Now you'll see you have multiple strips of rhombi. Then you cut the strips into rhombi. Much easier because as humans we can do the same thing multiple times in a row faster than doing two things interleaved.

Use mirror spray paint on the led strips . Making it more seamless ,also using a 5050 RGB would be great ,if later paired with a music adapter
Couldn't the accrylic be scored and snapped off instead of cutting?
Hey really nice video. I am thinking of building a bigger version some time in the future. The song that starts @11:41 can you please tell me the name or give a link to it? It is kinda stuck in my head now :D Have a nice day.

Hey Amih, the full track for that part of the video is here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZoFok6p_iZfciNY.html The particular part that caught your ear was the Day Trip Vox Loop, a free loop I used from the Logic Pro library. Have a great day!

tesselating space like a pro
Gah! The singular of “vertices” is “vertex”. It’s one of my pet peeves. So many people get that mixed up. Even Adam Savage did in his video.
I'm wincing at how much that mirror acrylic costs
The rhombic dodecahedron nests in all the shapes, the regular dodecahedron has gaps, the Rhombic turns into a cube, the Rhombic fits into flower of life perfectly because the rhombic fits inside a hexagram shape, the hexagram is found throughout nature so the rhombic dodecahedron should replace the regular dodecahedron.
Dodecahedron + Kalaidoscope = Kalaidodecahedron / Dodecascope ?

I guess you'd have to laser cut this on the unsilvered side, so the beam doesn't just get reflected.
Sir can you provide us with the link of Amazon of the acrylic mirror sheet so that it would be easy for us to buy
"Laser cuttery" costs: $150 per hour? Dude, you can buy a laser cutter (6.69in x 6.69in) for that price!!!
Liked your vid but dude, vertices are the points. The lines between vertices are edges.

Whoops! Totally missed that in the edit. Thanks!
EL Wire would have worked much better
Score and snap would be much faster... and cleaner... and no microplastics.
probably better of using a jigsaw
CUTTING EDGE! 🥁
why is noone giving regalar cm or inch dimension sjeeesh!

because it's a rhombus - just say the edge length is x because every edge is x, and x can be whatever you want it to be..
The shape is um what again lol.......??? :/ nice object tho
LOL all that work and you used a single color led strip.... G'z
You lost me when you had to do basic math formulas
Please bro….
Would you make one for me and take my moneys
Please bro….
