      What happened was that the heat from the resin burned the shellac that holds the staples together.

      Ben, really not sure if you will read this but here goes…. Wondered if you have seen the legendary movie Kingpin? If you have, I definitely feel like you have the skills and tools to make Ernie McCracken’s (played by Bill Murray) bowling ball. The clear ball with the rose inside it. It’s such an iconic thing!…I think if you’ve seen the movie you’ll know exactly what I mean. Anyway, it’s just an idea, all the best and keep up the good work!

    I was absolutely certain the staples would change in some way during the curing process, but I'll admit I didn't expect that sort of result. It's probably one of my favorite pieces you did, to be honest!

    Love it! The staples probably darkened because there is a thin layer of plastic that keeps them together, and it probably burned due to the resin heat.

    Nice one Ben. I agree, i think it looks much better with discoloured staples.

  • @rag_man673
    @rag_man673 ปีที่แล้ว

    Suggestion for next time. A light coat of resin over the cube (staples) to help stop them from breaking, and possibly from discolouring. The lighter bronze colour on pot-cam was a little nicer but I think silver would standout more. What if painted the staples before construction with bright colours like the Rubik cube? I absolutely love this channel and watching your experiments. The music, presentation is outstanding. Keep up the great work Ben.

    You gotta make more of these and put them up for sale in the store;; it looks super cool!
    I bet you could even use other rectangular c-channels (maybe made from bent metal mesh perhaps??) and make a whole array of this cubist effect..
    (is it cubist?? maybe I'm trying to be more fancy than I"m built-for).

  • @JakHart
    @JakHart ปีที่แล้ว

    Wow.
    Ok, so my cousin shared the post of the staple cube, tagging me, and by George, this was my near exact idea.
    I say near, because my concept was to build the cube, set it some resin, and cut a cube around it, but so that when the resin cube is on a flat surface, the staple cube would be positioned so that opposing corners would be top to bottom.
    Excellent work good sir!

  • @Danny.._
    @Danny.._ ปีที่แล้ว +1

    staples have a waterproof coating to stop them from rusting from the water vapor in the air, so that must be what discolored from the heat. i really like the way it came out though - i especially like the way each staple is a slightly different color from the one next to it, and like you said, it looks like a patina/rust, so it looks like some ancient artifact or something. very cool.

  • @ladykayla7417
    @ladykayla7417 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The discolouration look like it’s from the glue that holds the staples together melting in the heat. It also ran down the structure and made the interface between the starting level of cured resin and the new curing resin more obvious.

  • @peevester9987
    @peevester9987 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The distorted reality effect works even better here than on the rubik's cube.
    I'm really surprised that air could be trapped in there - I would not have thought that the glue holding together the staples would hold it back. I wonder if there's any way to force it out so there's no shatter in the center? It probably would have helped with a few of the segments breaking too, though that may be unavoidable once the glue heats up. Maybe paint the staples with a clear coat first?

You could make some cool 3D geometric shapes with small lengths of those, then make a sphere....
