  Would you share with us?
My experiments with colors are not successful. I've tried Acrylic Ink (it's mentioned here), epoxy resin dye (a local brand). The addition of any dye leads to uneven polymerization. Bumps, holes or wet layers are formed. Even with thoroughly stirring. Epoxy dye do not harden without hardener. So it would be nice to hear more from the community about the coloring of the shells and faceplates.

I have been through the exact same process!  I have spent a lot of cash at my local hobby stores with limited success.  Shiloh suggested this stuff...

It is fantastic!  It mixes so easily and evenly and doesn't seem to interfere with the curing process.  Of course darker colors with extend your curing process but that is normal.  Give it a shot!

Tnx!
You only used the transparent color or opaque too? One more question before I rushed to buy it - do I need a hardener for this dye? My local dye brand based on epoxy resin and will NEVER dry without hardener.

Its to be mixed with UV gel and cured as normal.

You may want to try this dye. I've use this and it's really superbly nice. Looks like jewelery

Just mix with transparent and cure as normal.  Go easy though, a drop or two goes a long way.

Anybody wanna try this out? hehehe

Personal laboratory of Jerry for scientific research? =)
Can anyone identify the device to the right of the monitor? I think it is a crossover (black) and three headphone amplifier for 2-3-way IEM.
I guess it's a good idea to turn the knobs, try different crossover frequencies, balance levels, phase etc.  And only then implement it at a physical resistors and capacitors.
Or is it just my imagination...

Awesome, I just finished mine on the weekend and was actually looking for an old paint can but had too settle for foil coating a piece of PVC pipe.  I added a little solar powered turntable as well.

Thanks for sharing. Makes sense to use dynamics as mid range. Interesting that he matched the phase plot and used a high pass filter on the mid.

They both look great! I'm planning something similar and already bought a LED lights. Unfortunately they don't cure the Mcear resin at all. My girlfriend's nail lamp cures the material in less than 30sec.
It is a 1m 5050 LED strip from eBay. The seller claimed the lights had a wavelength of 395-405nm...

May be seller sent you non UV LEDs.

Is there such a thing like "purple or blue light that's not uv light"? I always thought that wavelength and color determine each other.
What I noticed: The nail lamp has a much bluer light while the LED strip is more purple.

Thats not UV for example.
