LED suggestions for whistling birds?

[mistressprime]

Finally finished my set-up today. Wish I could upload a video showing the LED power-up sequencing. Anyway, pretty happy with this. Learned a lot that I’ll put into use for my next attempt

Came across this post as I was researching how to make my own lights. Do yoh have a youtube video on the process? If not definitely would love to see how its done. This looks amazing!

View attachment 207629So I’m printing out a gauntlet and wanted to put little led lights into the holes for the whistling birds. Hole diameter is roughly 2 mm. Any recommendations for led’s?

If anyone is in need of a low cost non electric way to have light up whistling birds for whatever reason, you can 3D print or resin print them and paint them in FX glow paint. I did this and they look whitish in light, but glow blue in not well lit to complete darkness.

Upgraded my whistling birds before Halloween…no servos or actuation, but the lights light up in sequence. I wish I had the automated ones, but alas, my gauntlet won’t work with those systems - not the right sizing.

Anyway, this is the upgrade
