Warp Core v2
Description
This is my v2 warp core, and probably my last version. I think it's been perfected as much as possible and designed to be easier to make and print. <h1>Upgraded Features:</h1> - Internal LED divider pieces now use 10 vertical segments of 11 LEDs instead of 20 segments of 5 LEDs (way less soldering) - Power conduits are designed for 6 LED segments instead of 12 - Power conduits are bolted to the chamber via 3x6mm screws - LED dividers are bolted together via 3mm screws and bolt to the chamber LED structure - Revised base for deeper recessed button - Revised base for "NCC-1701-D" light-up lettering - Revised reactor chamber with rounded edges that require zero support - Probably other improvements, as there's been so many <b>Printing tips</b> print the coils with 0% infill print the chamber upright with support print the windows, coils and inner power conduit with a transparent filament <b>Additional items to finish</b> - 3x 36" long .062" music wire or something similar - WS2812B LED strips (100 LEDs / meter) 10mm wide strips (139 LEDs needed total) - LED control board (d1 mini / node mcu) - 5v 4a or better power source <b>Notes</b> - Music wire: cut to smaller lengths and glue around the coils (see example image) this gives the warp core a more screen accurate appearance I purchased the music wire from a local hobby shop. K&S is the brand I believe Amazon sells it as well - LED strips: LEDs must be 5mmx5mm (5050 chips) and 5mm apart from each other on the strip. The strip must be 10mm wide MAX.I use the BTF Ws2812B LEDs purchased from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BTTY4FL?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 - WLED Installer website here: https://install.wled.me/ - YouTube video on how to flash WLED and setup/control LEDs vis WLED: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYxctjukehY <b>Assembly Tips</b> - MCS LEDs: 10 strips of 11 LEDs - Chamber LEDs: 1 strip of 10 LEDs - Power conduit LEDs: 2 strips of 6 LEDs - Base Lettering: 1 strip of 7 LEDs <b>Shopping List</b> - 5v power supply: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Q26YG61 - D1 Mini ESP board: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RBNJLK4 - LED strips (qty 2): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BTTY4FL - Power button: https://www.amazon.com/DIYhz-Self-locking-Latching-Button-Switch/dp/B07DWRGWSZ - 0.062 wire: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0006MZN9U/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plmuxBghTPg
