I’m going to create my own version of Spinel’s Scythe. It’s going to be more like a staff/walking stick with a 3d-printed gem at the top.
Intention: to be a cute prop that I can add to any Halloween costume I wear this season.
Inspo:
Materials:
Base staff: light pole // tension rod
Black Ribbon
Black/Blue Fur to wrap handles
LED
To-do list:
3D Print the Gem – option 1 – option 2
Solder the Led Strip – Attach to inside of pole?
Attach Gem to Pole
Wrap pole with fur to create handle
Tie ribbons on to the pole
Arduino:
I want to use a button to maybe toggle between two settings, both will be a fade through some gradient of pink light. I want to confirm, the best way to go about this.
Sounds cool!
I’d probably opt for a thin PVC if possible to make sure your rod is not conducting any electrical current and also to make it easier to drill for attaching your elements
Hi Lauren,

Once your Spinel’s Scythe is finished, I think your idea will look really attractive and fun!!!
If you’re 3D printing the gem, how about using transparent filament and adding colored LEDs? That could make your idea shine even more ✨
