This is what the finished spooler / filament guide looks like. I am probably going to scrap it. It pulls filament fine and haven't had a failed print yet, but I don't like the angle it pulls the filament down at. It is basically going 90 degrees out from the bearings straight down into the extruder. The plastic is visibly discolored by this sharp angle. So I have two options, print a filament guide FOR my filament guide, or move the spool some where else.
The series of video frames starts at the top, you can see the LED comes on immediately, It's not until the 3rd frame that the filament bulb is at full brightness. Then it takes the filament bulb a further 3 frames to cool down after the LED is off.
The LED is safer as it's marginally brighter, is visible immediately rather than having to warm up and as they're made by a major manufactuer, is likely to last longer than a filament bulb.

This series represents some of the results of my efforts in response to my contact DB1of1 who asked for ideas to photograph an incandescent filament.
Sha Tin, Hong Kong - June 23rd, 2011
Un-retouched and shot under a blackening, post-typhoon sky.
I've become entranced by the thready filaments and almost prehistoric beauty of banyan trees.
I'll add more until the inspiration falls away or I find a greater temptation to explore.
Weird bit of public art...or maybe its a bike rack. Either way, somebody actually paid someone else good money to make this. I am in the wrong business.
This is a filament of a lit flashlight bulb - a 3-D Maglite. Taken with polarizer, smallest aperture, and fastest shutter speed to reduce brightness. And oh, a Raynox DCR-250 macro lens too!
Cracked light bulb.
Hayley pluged the lamp into the wall and I shot the results.

Power supply for 6V filament of valve Line pre-amp. It could be use in a Phono stage due its ultra low noise.

My bedside table lamp is misbehaving a lot lately, got two light bulbs broken in two weeks. sigh... running low on light bulbs!
Small mosaic of this active region and its filaments.

I've been dying to get a good shot of these lightbulbs in my bathroom... but I still don't think this is good enough.
Oh well.
Two orange-gelled flashes (580EX (thanks, Alan!) and 580EXII) @ 1/16 to left and right with baffles to keep the background dark, triggered via ST-E2.
