I translated the rest also, so here we go For starters, I tried the grill with one UV led and the result is pretty nice
That was the reason I removed the boring blue leds off the fan. Pulled them out on this pic:
The original ones were 3mm leds, so I needed to drill the holes up to 5mm first. This picture is actually not that bad, but in reality the light has a lot less blue in it.
I still needed to glue some more parts on, and after that it already looked pretty finished
But it wasn't good enough, yet. I thought it needed a little more of the black plexi. So I grabbed my coping saw again and started cutting:
These two parts were the result
I drew and printed a sheet of paper with the design on it, so I was able to glue them exactly at the right place:
Here one is glued already:
And that's two. The plexi work is done now, but it isn't finished:
Just a little pic from the under side of the grill:
You guys get to see the end result right away, because the English forums are a few days behind It really is done now, I just need to check out how it looks with the UV leds on. I called it Brake Line, after the bicycle brake lines I wanted to use. But I found out they were to hard to get in, I would put the whole grill at stake when I would try to use three brake lines. So I started looking around for a black cable with a diameter of 5mm, and found 20 meters of black coax cable I had lying around for way too long. These were a lot easier to get in, so these pictures are the result of the photo shoot in my garden
