Thanks, As it is, no, this version is purely meant for effect/cosplay etc. But the refined version which will be "functional" is in the works

@@KyleofAsgard Okay, I'm looking forward to it.

@@Jeaver15 yes, as long as they are uv/black light leds :)

@@KyleofAsgard aye, im doing something similar with red UV contacts and I didn't want to buy a full reel of strips when I can get like 6 LEDs

Thanks mate, I personally think "imdeepain reborn" is the best, but Ill happily compete with him haha

I've only seen a few designs with the scissor mechanism, and they are either really average, or really good but require extreme precision to make.

Print in ABS or ASA. Much stronger

@@breedlofam true, but still if you look at revelations opening cinematic you can see how one of ezios blade break, that's the weak spot, still I prefer the shorter version, easier to craft and harder to break

The lights would be with excessive exposure, but the contacts are made to be warn in close proximity to high intensity UV lights at raves and clubs, so if you imagine the amount of time you would spend at a rave, thats about how long you can do this for. I did these glowing eyes over 10 years ago, used them on multiple occasions, sometimes days at a time, switching them on and off throughout the day. Still have great vision to this day.

@@KyleofAsgard NICE HAIR YOU OLOK LIKE LOKI, THIS VIDEO CAN HELP FOR BEGGINERS WHO KNOWS NOTHING LIKE ME :)

If I was to print one on a Bambu lab carbon, I could print all the parts in a day. Ender 3, a couple of days. Unless you are meaning design/ print time, then around a year of tinkering on and off :)

Wow! Does it lock? For you to stab stuff?

Thanks, yes indeed, from what I have seen, hes the only other hiddenblade maker who has created one using the clock spring. :)

Hey man, thanks for the praise, I funnily enough fully intend to use the ball locking feature to lock it like imdeepinpains, as that is def the smartest way to do it so far, funnily enough, I just saw a pic of his latest hiddenblade on Facebook and I think he may have gotten a bit of inspiration from me, as he is now using tiny screws to make it all flush along the outside, as well as that it is genuinely double extension and is clock spring driven haha.

Hey there, sorry my links have all expired, Ill try to renew them soon. The second version I did Doesn't have the adjustment, but you could wire it in with a variable resister anyway (not the correct way to do it, but it works). I unfortunately do not sell the project as a kit, though the contacts are made with the purpose of being exposed to black lights so they glow, its the kind of thing that I could imagine someone using it 3 days straight at a convention, then try to blame me for selling a "dangerous" product because they have no impulse control and have strained their eyes, haha. I did exactly that about 8 years ago, no problems with my vision, but because I had them running for about 18 hours over a weekend, my eyes were hella strained the following day or two haha.

@@KyleofAsgardHi Kyle, thank you very much for your reply, unfortunately I'm totally rubbish at electronics, the effect you managed to produce with the variable light intensity was extraordinary and looked hyper realistic. I was wondering if instead of separate small UV leds, it would work with a piece of UV LED strip light (flexible strip), would it work as well in terms of intensity? because it's much easier to install it's already bought in working order just cut a piece of strip. If you think that the uv led strip system wouldn't work as well, would you be so kind as to share with us an update on the components used to recreate your effect, with, if possible, a version that lets you adjust the light intensity? And, above all, a brief explanation of how to farbic it with a remote control system. Thank you in advance, I work with children in a hospital and sometimes I make them animations by doing one or two magic tricks, it would be so cool if I made them this effect with a super hero cosplay , please let me know :) Thanks again for taking the time to reply and for your kindness. Best regards and keep up the good work :)

@@twitterfighter1090 Hey, no worries, from memory I used UV blacklight led strips in my Thor helmet effect video. As well as that. A remote control, and I think I made it have 2 brightness modes too.

@@KyleofAsgardHello kyle me again sorry for bothering you again, just wondering if u can share updated links for the components ? :) pleaseeeeeeee :)

@@twitterfighter1090 Hey, all the components links have been updated in the thor helmet video :D

Thanks for the outstanding praise, I love how it's come out so far (still gonna keep refining), now I just have to hope that KZfaq algorithm doesn't do me dirty and actually spreads the video around haha Thanks again. :)

I'm waiting on a quote for metal ones at the moment ;)

@@KyleofAsgard for me as cool as metal is it adds weight to the prop so I’m always all for plastic :)

What can I say, when you're right, you're right 🤣 I've weirdly had a heap of people on insta and tik tok saying "it's too big" haha

A happy medium between metric and imperial haha

Thanks dude, Its tedious, but worth it in the long run. For this build I used a couple of ender 3 gen one printers, old but reliable. I also didnt have them super calibrated, that way I knew Id have to do clean up on parts that many other people would also have to do if their machines werent the too tuned up as well haha

If you do it nonstop for hours on end, yes if it is just for a couple of minutes here and there, then no.

But it is cool to see gunaxe

@@leonaluceid2388 worse comes to worse, I don't have to go to work ever again haha

Haha nope, spring loaded ;) files will be available sooner or later for 3d printing too

@@KyleofAsgard right on! I’m running on a spring as well, I keep meaning to make a video about it lol

@@neevasken6054 Do it, I wanna see!!

Yo whatever happened to the hidden blade u sold on Etsy?​@@neevasken6054

Check out my thor helmet video :) more details are found there

@@KyleofAsgard ok

You turn off the blacklight LEDs hidden in the helmet, they cause it to glow

@@KyleofAsgard so the blue contacts will turn off

The contact lenses glow because they are exposed to a black light, so If you turn off the light, the contacts will turn off

Hello degloving

this isn’t any worse than someone hiding a knife in their long sleeve

its honestly less useful in practical situations so it can rule out fools

Thanks mate, my biggest enemy is really just myself haha, I have so much stuff that I constantly create, but I never turn it in to content, simply because I don't think it is "good enough". Going to make some smaller budget projects soon to just try get momentum goin, then I'll see about working with some others, being a maker all the way over in new Zealand makes it tough though.
