Iron Man Arc Reactor with Circuit Playground Express
Description
This is an Iron Man Arc Reactor with an Adafruit Circuit Playground Express. This one can be programmed with MakeCode, making it a great project for kids! They can easily program it do different patterns, colors, play music, and turn on or off if they clap their hands with a drag and drop interface. The 3D parts where remixed from an existing project by Aelkaim. I basically modified the Crystal Bottom to hold the CPX, and Crystal Ring to hold a 24 Bit LED ring. Print all parts at 95% scale to work with the parts I link to below. I had to do this to fit the large LED ring. If you get different parts you may need to adjust the scale. Adafruit Circuit Playground Express (https://www.adafruit.com/product/3333) 24 Bit LED WS2812 Ring (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CNFZC35) 3 Alligator Clips Spray Paint (Metallic Gold, Metallic Silver,"Hammered") Copper Wire 24 Gauge (Ace Hardware) 3 X M3 16mm screws (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0743CP22G) Print out these parts in Transparent or Glow in the Dark PLA 01_Crystal_Ring 02_Crystal_CPX_Bottom 03_Crystal_Top Print out these parts in ABS (I preferred this stronger material because the PLA kept breaking when I screwed the parts together and pulled them off the bed) 04_Upper_Grid 05_Lower_Grid_Caps ( Printed with a Raft to keep the tabs from breaking off when I removed them from the printer. ) Full build instructions and more pictures on my blog post. https://anotherpiblog.blogspot.com/2019/10/iron-man-arc-reactor-with-circuit.html
