Very cool betonov! This post will be right up your alley then.

One of my next two big projects (aside from the DIY Oscilloscope kit I got for xmas, yes, they exist, and cheap too) will be a desk lamp using a 8x8 plate of LED's similar to those. But it will be adjustable so it will do bright white or any color of the rainbow. I will be using it as a normal desk lamp, for photography using the colors as bounce lights, and the pure red for a darkroom safe light for PCB photo etching.

The other project will be a gift to my girlfriend's grandfather, who just retired from a career designing industrial machine controls. It'll be a clock but it will use analog voltmeter displays to display the time. One each for the hours, minutes, and seconds. This is a photo of the original gauge that came with the meters, I'm going to print my own and install them to display the appropriate thing.

Some of the other projects I've been doing over the past year: (I have a number of projects for customers and my racing boat that I won't be posting up, as the designs are pretty proprietary.) The links are for the project pages on the 3d printing site Thingiverse, they're all stuff I have designed, and have shared freely.

My latest creation, I DIY home power supply, just like Bet showed above, but a bit more finished (?):

A 12v adapter plug for car things:

A rack for model paint jars. This is my design, but I only printed one as I only have a dozen jars of my own, the photo is from a make of my design, and I gotta give the guy credit for making such an awesome rack of paint. Made me feel really proud to see someone do this:

A nice cigar case for larger cigars:
