It’s just a piece of transparent acrylic I sanded translucent. The light is just an ordinary light–an iwonder skateboard light in this case. I got the idea from the exway wave and Boosted.

If I could find a clear tailbone that fits Powell-Peralta (8") then I could add SMT LEDs to it.
I feel like ABS or nylon would be a better choice than acrylic though. I’m not sure.

I made one for my hammerhead hosoi out of pla and it’s been solid. It’s got better impact resistance than a lot of other filaments and they make a clearish filament.
Becomes less clear with more infill and a kick tail would be solid but at least it would distribute light maybe?

Disposable e-cigs should be banned in my opinion. Saving these from the trash, turns out they have decent batteries in them.

You could have fooled me, with those microscopic wires in there.
What gauge are those?
haha, it’s like 30ga? Maybe smaller 0.4mm diameter. Not surprisingly the failure rate of these devices is quite high just from my experience. Another reason why I think they should be banned.

Maybe not banned, but just put a large tax on them

The benefit of the small wires is they make great fuses lol

You put those slotted inserts in backwards homes. Not too big of a deal with the epoxy but for future reference the tapered, deep slot inserts are self tapping and meant to cut the path with the tapered edge down:

Oh well, a bit late now. I ended up using the good old sacrificial bolt anyway so the flathead screwdriver got 0 use. Thanks for the advice!

Those little lipos power one of my remotes. Take off one of the end caps. There is the typical nickel terminal underneath.
