WHO NEEDS 3D PRINTING when you have this?

Please tell me I'm not the only one that didn't know this.

The good things I've thrown away because some cheap plastic thingy broke

Why not just do a blob of solder?

Yeah a solder blob would work even better. I'll try that with some dead ones I have lying around, from my understanding most LED bulbs fail due to power supply failure though.

A 9 watt LED bulb is $.95 if you shop them or $1.40 on Amazon with same-day delivery.

I'm not going to spend more than 30 seconds trying to fix it. My free time is more valuable to me than that.

There are many more uses for this than the LED bulb

well said... that being said I did spend 3 minutes watching the video and didn't have that thought until you said it.  

The graphite probably affords a little resistance that a blob of solder wouldn't.  Probably little difference in the end.  

Me. I still need a 3d printer. 

I've never seen a bulb taken apart. makes more sense why failure is so often when you have that many LEDs. Does it have to run in series? I get its cheaper to connect them in series, but it would be nice if I lost 1/16th of the lighting and not have to change the bulb every 6 months. 

How does this negate the need for a 3D printer?  I can't figure that out. Repairing, no, simply jumping an open circuit doesn't relate to designing and creating something that was only an idea a few hours ago.
