CRX TESSERACT

I made this for my Mums birthday present over the last few weeks. Her birthday is in a few days.
She likes glowy things & Sci Fi movies :)
Everything is hand made as usual using small hand saws & files.
The Cube has a built in charging circuit with a LiPo cell.
Two switches on the inside base control four blue 465nm downlights filtered through a GITD mix and the Tesseract central UV LED array, which is made from two opposing 8mm UV LEDs surrounded by four 465nm blue LEDs.

These switches can be set so they activate when the case is slid open & closed.

The Tesseract is both supplied and held in place by magnetic contacts and is removable from the vibranium case ;)
The case opens & closes via four telescopic uru sliding mechanisms.
Still got some tidying up to do but it is mostly finished.

My camera hates blue so it was difficult to get good pictures of the glowing space stone.

I'll try to get some night time shots later.

She loves it! ;) :THUMBS-UP:

Original Concept:
I made up some scaled images to get a feel for the sizes etc before I started working on this.
You can see roughly how it was made, sorry no build pictures.
The Tesseract cube itself contains two opposing 8mm UV LEDs and four blue LEDs with another four blue LEDs in the case.

WTF, SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY.

so impressive!

just - WOW

Wow, it’s wierd how you take a picture of a 4D object and it shows up as a 3D cube in the photos!

Now all you have to do is put some shiny spikes on it, make it levitate and give it locomotion and you might get a role in Phantasm XIV.

I would expect to see this in a case at the San Diego Comic Con.

Wow...that’s amazing! :-O

You don’t plan to build a second one, do you? ;-)

Can this tesseract also pull people in and they end up in a book shelf? :-D

Superb

Another work of art, as usual. Hmm, vibranium. I might have thought you would use unobtainium.

You have to make it touch sensitive and jam some motors inside so it would open when you touch it :sunglasses:

What he said!

WOW…

Very Nice and cool as all heck… More build notes please, and pictures. Lots of build pictures.

And what is the price you plan on charging for these?

Disappointed the LEDs weren’t UV

WTF is a TESSERACT?
Had to look it up……oh jeez…another Nerd thing…… :person_facepalming:

It looks Cool…. :+1: …I like the Blue light looking cube thing in a box…what ever… :smiley:

With a price rivaling my monthly mortgage payment

Well technically what he built is a copy of a movie prop however a tesseract is a real thing, it’s the 4 dimensional version of a cube.
If you have a VR device you can download an app that allows you to interact with one in augmented 3D space.

CRX is so skilled, I bet he can make a flashlight with micro USB charger from a left over burrito.

CRX is just kidding us with his drawings.

That blue cube in the center doesn’t actually contain LEDs.

… It is clearly a solid cube of Kryptonite! :sunglasses:

Thanks guys for the positive comments :+1:

No, there will only be one of these with the containment cube made by me.
I liked Interstellar too :slight_smile:

Not in the Marvel universe :wink:

I thought of that but I would have had to make it bigger plus the added complexity would be stretching my skills to the limit. I wanted to make this with love, not cursing it! :laughing:
But yeah, that would have been super cool.

The cube LEDs are UV.

I didn’t take any build pictures, it could not be bought unfortunately as it is a unique gift.

Yeah she was fair away with it :slight_smile:

Wow! CRX, you have done some amazing projects. But this is the best glowy thing I’ve ever seen you made. I’m glad your mom likes it! Congratulations!
