Food cling film (like Saran Wrap :tm:) seems to work really well at not sticking to stuff, surprisingly, considering “cling” is in its name.

I ended up using packaging tape

Depends on the brand. Some of the ones I tried don’t, particularly if they’re thicker, but others will stick to literally everything by static alone.

I use this, and it’s great stuff. It’s cheap and a roll lasts for like 5 years.

I mean they won’t stick to epoxy or silicone et cetera.

Bruh your enclosure is so big you’ll need bigger wheels to lift it up off the ground.

I love this look - reminds me off skyline r34 taillights.

Too bad they’re all going to be out of sync when you actually use them as brake lights :sweat_smile:

They’re not precise enough to match trigger points

I really like this look too, I thought having one on each side on mine was cool, but this is even better

Thanks guys!
I saw this on another board and loved it so much I just had to copy it.
The R34 definitely was an idol though.

I have to see, maybe I’ll just say fuck it and just use them as lights without the brake function.
I think I will have to fit a camera to see how much they’re out of whack when braking, they’re still cheap chinese lights after all :sweat_smile:

I figure a giant ghostbuster on top of a scale car wouldn’t look as true to life as the marshmallow man… and who doesn’t love the marshmallow man!?

Lol needs more attention to detail. I’m not convinced this is a viable method for my needs. It was a fun experiment tho, and the part will be usable, so it’s a win

Can you finish the part well and make fibreglass moulds from it?
