This is really awesome. I'd loke to make something similar, and was wondering where you got your acrylic. I would be happy to know as soon as is convenient for you, and would would appreciate greatly a response
Yeah, I know, no black blade threads. I didn't start this one though, and this is an actual attempt that is cool! I have a suggestion; what if the clear section was painted black, so that only the edge around the blade and the crackling lines in the interior was visible? Then the only light showing would be the outline and the crackly parts. Light could still pass through the thickness of the blade, because the end at the emitter would allow the light through. A wilder idea would be to somehow mirror the clear area towards the inside and paint black on top of that to reduce light loss due to absorption. Light could bounce around in the interior thickness and then the edges and crackly parts might be brighter.
Rip has made many, many more black blades since then and they are much better looking now, too. He also has started making other polyC blades like he said he was planning to do, although I'm not sure if he has made these black blades out of polyC. I'll let him know this topic is alive again.
I would like to see pictures of those; has he posted any of them somewhere?
He posts very regularly in his facebook group
I know this is an old thread. And I'm not trying to take anything away from the hard work that went into creating this blade, but no one has sad anything about the very large elephant in the room. This fine blade is made from acrylic, which from the looks of it is clear apart from the beveling and scratches we see. How else would it light up to show off those features? The only reason this, or any other clear acrylic blade, would appear black is the background it's photographed against. No black background and all you see is a clear blade.
