Add Sparkle To Your Plants With A DIY Disco Ball Planter


Hey Friends! Today I’m showing you how I turned three different sized Styrofoam disco balls into unique hanging planters. I love how these planters shine! I’ll show you what I learned along the way which sizes where hallow and which were not.


Here are a few of my take-aways: I recommend keeping a shop vac on hand. I found that using a multi tool was easier than trying to cut through with a utility knife. As well as for hallowing out the Styrofoam ball for the planter. 4”disco balls are solid 8” disco balls are hallow and 12” are solid. Check out the things I’ve learned in this video and how the project turned out. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this video and I'd love to see what you make. Be sure to tag me when you do @wood_Brain on Instagram. Materials used: 4”,8”,12” Styrofoam disco balls found on amazon Jump rings Jewelry chain Pliers Plants Stay Connected ๐Ÿ“ธ Instagram: @Wood_Brain ๐Ÿ’› Support on Patreon: Support Here ๐Ÿ“ง Business Inquiries: WoodBrainLZ@gmail.com

Can You 3D Print a Ship in a Bottle?

 

I decided to take on the classic "ship in a bottle" challenge but with a modern twist. Instead of building it piece by piece with tweezers, I wanted to see if I could use my Bambu Lab A1 to create this impossible object.

In this video, I’m taking you along on the journey of designing, slicing, and figuring out how to fit a solid 3D print into a bottle with a neck way too small for the boat. There were a few failures, some close calls, and a lot of problem-solving to make this work! ๐Ÿ–จ️ PRINTER USED: Bambu Lab A1 with AMS Bambu Lab A1 Mini ๐Ÿ‘‡ CHAPTERS: 0:00 - The Impossible Challenge 0:45 - Designing the Ship 2:30 - The "Secret" Technique 5:15 - Printing on the Bambu A1 8:00 - The Assembly (The Hard Part!) 10:30 - The Final Reveal
