Hmmmm....Rings got me thinking !!! How difficult to machine a groove in the host business end, in a helix pattern....SO....inlay a Electroluminescent flexible strip down into the groove.....so...Laser on....Light up strip !!!...Could be a neat effect !! Caibanla….you are going to cost me MORE MONEY !!! ????? Large size Acme thread ???

GITD seems a lot easier. Besides, a helix wouldn't look at all the same, especially if it is closer together or even further apart. But, I reserve any criticism for after I see it. I suppose it could be made to look pretty good.

It is gitd bro!

It is gitd bro! Do you want large size with it?

 

[CDBEAM777]

Yes...I knew it was GITD material. I have used this in a previous build. I was just thinking....What COULD take the place of GITD....Have more luminosity, more visual impact, and how to have a geometry that would accept a continuous helix / wrap of Electroluminescent wire.
Such a wire could be powered by the same battery source that drives the LD.

I am sure some would say...." EEeeech….How tacky, how ugly " yes, well maybe....OR...It might look like something right outa " Buck Rogers " and retro cool ???? Dunno ??

I have NO idea how to machine a helix groove, maybe 2mm deep, 4mm separation..???

One thing though....I have NOT seen this done yet....just an artistic splash, NO functionality....but....could be pleasing ?????

Hahahahahahaha….Machining a Helix groove to a cylinder OD...….OH....HELL NO !!!

Looks like fun !!! I am just now getting to the point of using a lathe !! This is in the area of CNC !!….Way beyond threading....I think !! I dunno….gotta study some more !! CDB
