Thought I’d share my 3 month update

I’ve never posted on here but I started Zepbound 3 months ago, hating the body I was in as I gained a lot of weight due to my dad passing. After going through the grieving period I was stuck in a body I hated but thankfully I’m down 21.5lbs so far and everything has been improving mentally and physically 🥰

What setting to use for six planet parade/ meteor shower?

I know tonight and early tomorrow we will have the 6 planets in a row and meteor showers and I want to be able to capture it if I can. I’m wondering if the Milky Way setting would work or if anyone has better suggestions.

Second refurbishing project

Starting from scratch again with all new wax and fluid and it’s looking great so far (thanks to you guys for knowing the right amount of everything) thinking of doing like pink wax and light orange water. It will be a baby shower gift for a baby girl. :)

Thanks to everyone on here who helped me fully restore this!

This was my first full restoration on a lava lamp and with a lot of trial and error you guys helped me create a custom gift for my sister.

which color dyes to get to create black from pink wax

I'm going to be working on a grande lamp that has purple liquid and pink wax. I'm going to try and turn that pink wax to black but with the light from the lava lamp with the purple liquid I'm curious what blend of dyes I should get. Any suggestions I would greatly appreciate!

I think I need a hotter bulb?

Making a custom lamp for my sister it’s got brand new wax and dye in it but idk what’s causing the little balls of wax to form. Still cool looking

Why did my seestar s30 pro take blurry images?

Didn’t realize until after I stacked it all 400 images were taken blurry, how would I fix that?

First restoration, need help

Fully restoring an old lava lamp and when I started it up it has a lot of bubbles and it never really separates, just stays in that long blob going up and down. I added 2ml of magic surf and it didn’t really help. Does it just need more cycling? I added 1/3 new wax and dyed it if that helps.

Just received my first Mathmos in the mail

Took about a month as I live in Florida but it was well worth it

Trying to create a metallic lava lamp

I’m restoring an older lava lamp and want to turn it metallic. I bought mica powder and other stuff to restore like surfactant and glycerin just incase. Should I use mineral oil too? I heard sometimes the wax can stick with mica powder after a while. Any tips would be great thank you!!

Restored a badly shipped lava lamp

Was able to drain the cloudy water, put distilled in with some sodium sulfate and I couldn’t believe how much better it looks

My sister is getting me the S30 pro and I definitely want to enhance the images but I’m not sure if I should spend the money on pixinsight or go with the free option like graxpert, would love to hear everyone’s opinion thanks!!
