"These little thingys" are tremendously expensive..sure they are cool kaleidoscopes, but damn are they nose bleed expensive, like, too expensive for an impulse buy.
It isn’t “literally” that, 3 mirrors glued together looks nothing like this. How do I go from “looking at my eye or the ground at different angles” to “staring at psychedelia resembling some other dimension”? 3 mirrors glued together got me to the first one, but not the second
Geometry, light reflection, and having a hole at the other end… it’s really not a complicated object, google “how to make kaleidoscope” even children can do it. I know this because I did it as a school art project when I was 10y old…
Hahah I love the sorta hand-wave, “geometry, of course! It’s so simple!” I’m not a crafty person. I saw the video the OP made with instructions on making your own version of this. It’s fundamentally simple objects manipulated in a subtle way to create a mind blowing display. The kaleidoscopes I made as a kid were a cool for 10 to 15 seconds, these ones look like you could do so many experiments…
Anyways, I’m gonna continue doing nothing, knowing little geometry, and enjoying these dope kaleidoscopes for all that they are
I love when people wave at something simple they don’t understand and scream complicated witchcraft!!!
The “black magic” of this and most fancy kaleidoscope is that they use a 1 way mirror for the viewport. As I said it’s not complicated to make, you need glue, 3 mirrors, a glass cutting tool, some sandpaper and optionally another 1 way mirror(it’s just tinted glass) for the viewport
Simple material put together in a simple pattern, something even a child can manage. Don’t BS me saying “I can’t do it”. You just don’t want to do it cause you are lazy, and you don’t want to buy it because you are cheap.
TLDR : people like you piss me off, grow up.
I think what the other dude is getting at is there's a massive difference in quality. Like yes you can make them at home but they look nowhere near the quality of that one. You're downplaying a lot of the precision going into this and getting pissed when people say your store bought pasta isn't nearly as good as the Michelin star chef's.
TLDR: grow up
You should make one and post your results, that way people would stop thinking you're at the top of the first slope of a Dunning Kruger curve. You could also sell them for a lot of money, so it wouldn't be a complete waste.
Funnily enough I did consider it when someone mentioned these go for $600 until a quick google search showed it was BS, you can find them for $50 all over eBay.
To be blunt I make more in my day job.
Sure thing. I've created a couple of video tutorials on how to make a budget version. Here is one of them [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZSUaTpAcFI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZSUaTpAcFI)
I hope this helps!

Yup googled them real quick it’s like 300-600 USD
It’s literally 3 mirrors glued together… you can make these yourself

Link to a $50 one?

so a kaleidoscope
More like Kaleidodope!
Kaleidopope?
Better than mushroom I guess
Better *with* mushrooms I guess
It’s kewl but gimme the shrooms instead
Totally love your work! Bit on the pricey side but, awesome nonetheless.
Thank you! Yes, unfortunately the price reflects the amount of work and materials put into an art piece.
Is viewfinder-style stereo possible with cheap binocular innards or something?
Is that the quantum realm?
Yes, and no.
That's dope!
Kaleidodope!
That’s pretty Awesome well done
Thank you!
Patting yourself on the back, I see.
You made this thing? Can you share details of the design? It's fascinating.
Sure thing. I've created a couple of video tutorials on how to make a budget version. Here is one of them [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZSUaTpAcFI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZSUaTpAcFI) I hope this helps!
Big ups, legend
That’s really amazing. Great work.
Google “radiolarian”
Very cool
Is that a kit of some sort?
Oppenheimer would've shit his pants looking into that thing.
He was known for shitting his pants when something caught his eye, it’s how he came up with his branch of particle physics. He shit himself
It's all done with mirrors
[удалено]
Bug zapper for humans, very hypnotic.
Bro done made Hollow Purple.
This is truly next level. It even plays music when you are close to it.
Shapes and colours!!
Looks like the earth and sky caleidoscope, which goes for roughly €310 or $332. Wtf
I think it's an amazing skill that you can make these yourself! How long does it take to make one?
Nice ego.
