I’ve been busy building a lot of stuff lately, and this latest project is pretty cool. It’s a night light with a latte heart design. Still needs some coffee beans around the edges to finish it off, but it’s already looking solid. If you want to print one yourself, check out the great design on MakerWorld.
The blue lighting in the photo is just from ambient light around my workbench - nothing to do with the cup itself.
In the background, you might notice a Pac-Man ghost getting some repairs. Mr. Pac and two of his ghost friends had to be retired this week after years of loyal service. The heat from the 12V RGB rope lights finally caused them to warp and break in unrepairable ways.
However, the “green ghost” got an upgrade with a 5V RGB strip attached to a Sparkle Motion mini. This will make the colors match the original game better. Once Pac-Man is re-printed and the scripting is sorted out, I’ll update the Neon Signs post. The new setup should look even better than before.
