This 3D-printable DIY project lets you build your own adjustable liquid lens — capable of acting as a converging or diverging magnifier… or even a pellet drum when empty!
🔧Features: Modular part configurations for handle customization
Manual liquid injection for real-time focal tuning
Dual-use design — optics & percussion!
🧪Materials Needed: 20mm Snap-On rubber vial stopper
Cellophane sheet
Teflon tape
Vaseline or hydrophobic cream
Water (or safe, non-cellophane-dissolving liquids)
☀️Optical Power: Properly sealed and aligned, AquaLenz can focus sunlight enough to burn paper. Use responsibly with direct sunlight.
