I find kaleidoscope fascinating. Last fall, I participated in a workshop with Mark Tickle where I assembled a couple of his kaleidoscopes. Kaleidoscopes transmit light through an object cell containing random shapes and colors. Then light is reflected from a carefully arranged mirrors to produce a random, display of colors and patterns. Different mirror configurations produce different macro patterns while the random colored objects produce infinite detail.

Kaleidoscopes depend on light. As I created my kaleidoscopes, I thought of a supplemental light source that would make my kaleidoscopes pop even more. The design complements this style of kaleidoscopes.

I designed and 3d printed a core which holds a battery and positions LED's. A segmented cylinder contains the core.

Items of interest:
6 segmented rings
12 segments per ring
72 total segments
2 2032 batteries
5 white LED's
Finish: Watco wipe on poly.
Size: 4" x 3.5"
Kaleidoscope Design: Marc Tickle - www.OnReflection.com

Enjoy.

p.s. If you would like a more in depth demonstration than my weekly videos, please contact me for an IRD (Zoom Demo) on this or other topics.
