Glitterball Purple DIY NOT genuine mathmos

Of course it not perfect but I'd pretty much call it a success. Next one will be without mica powder from earlier tinkering and with smaller glitter but this is what I had. Runs pretty well actually.

I have a Lunar fill of original Glitterball, and when it runs - rarely these days - always think Glitterball looks a bit like deer or rabbit droppings, somewhat crude but fits the reality.

Btw, did you ever post the finished (polished-up) copper Cosmos with its copper staff? I can't recall seeing it

Comment by Arne on May 15, 2022 at 2:41am: No I didnt, but I really should finish it soon! Actually I wanted to try making glitterballs like the ones on the promo pics. Clear lava and red, blue purple MF, blue/blue, red/red and yellow clear. The aluminium is just a matter of finding the right mica powder.

Comment by Mattgyver92 on May 21, 2022 at 3:46pm: That looks.....really cool. What recipe did you end up doing with? Also, I'm curious to see how you did your coil/rubber ring to keep it from accumulating. Definitely want to attempt this.

Wonderful job!

Not that I want to keep this super secret but the past tought me that people will try anything to make money and I dont wanne give a public recipe for this reason...at least not prior to flooding the market myself ;)
