Jacket Greeblie (Personal Identifier Transponder)
Description
I wanted to build a custom jacket greeblie, a "personal identifier transponder" like many Star Wars characters have. I plan to use this on my jacket when bounding at Galaxy's Edge and other places. I also wanted to build it to allow for lights, and real bolts glued in, so there are slots that fit m3 bolts and these square lit switch covers (linked below). In the example shots, I resin printed it, primed and painted it (Alclad 2 aircraft aluminum airbrush paint) and weathered it. I painted the notched button (and the filler buttons, if you use those) with gloss paint separately before assembly. Added pin backs, and wired in some 3mm LED lights (hot glued in) leading to a switch and batter pack. I included a merged version as well, and button fillers if you don't need lights, and bolt fillers if you don't want to find small bolts. The two light covers are from lit switches, the colored covers pop of easily. Then the back tube gets trimmed off with a fine saw. Lights are (red and yellow) 3mm LEDs, with a single 33 ohm resistor, and a small battery pack for a 2032 3V battery with a switch. I used a quick connector to thread the cord through the jacket liner into the front pocket, but it probably could be mounted on the back if you don't mind some lumpy look to it. Printing: The face of most of the plate is at a slight angle, so it may get some lines as it is not perfectly flat. I am not certain the angle. Switches: "16mm Push Button Switch Latching Square Cap LED Lamp Red Yellow Blue Green Light DC 12V SPDT 5 Pin 4 Pack" https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N2T2LJI button battery packs: "cr2032 Battery Holder Coin Cell Holder, CR2032 Battery Holder with Switch" https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08Q3K68K9 M3 hex bolts: "Stainless Steel M3 Button Head Hex Socket Cap Screw Bolts" https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08H24W42K (I just used the shortest ones glued in). I added two heavy swivel/locking pin backs on either side, seen in one of the pics, from a craft supply store. [UPDATE: Someone was having issues getting this to slice, and while troubleshooting I made some lower poly versions (just using decimate in Blender to reduce half of the polygons). They are now uploaded here, with "reducedPoly" at the end of the file name.] Happy Crafting!
