Glow in the Dark custom parts Kite Circuit Sword
Glow in the Dark custom parts Kite Circuit Sword
Just some quick information and photos of my Circuit Sword. If you want more details, let me know.
I used a Kite Circuit Sword in a clear shell. I wanted to use glow in the dark parts, but could not find much of anythings, so I made silicone molds and made the parts myself. Some of the parts started as 3D printed parts (I do not have a printer so I ordered online) then I made molds, then mixed resin with glow in the dark powder to cast the parts.
-Green and Blue glow in the dark powders work the best, yellow and red fade very quickly.
-The goal was to have a transparent shell with translucent buttons that also glowed in the dark. (you know, for fun)
-I even made the screen bracket and the PSP thumbstick cap glow too.
Hope you all like it. It is only my second build. My Glow in the Dark Build

Actually I Purchased the powder from glow nation LLC. Not sure if they’re connected to the company you are referring to.Maurice Yu wrote: ↑Tue Aug 04, 2020 1:16 amVery good idea, the buttons are made of https://glowtechno.com powder, very beautiful

Re: Glow in the Dark custom parts Kite Circuit Sword
Question: As someone who is looking to do casting of buttons & brackets as well, how exactly did you do it with the molding? It appears that you cut open the mold down the middle, but wouldn't the buttons & brackets be in the way? How were you able to peel apart the 2 halves? Did you use aluminum foil between the sides?
