Project Ideas For LEDs and 3D Printer

My partner and I are ideating about something we could make with a 3D printed design that used LEDs. 

1. Lit up sunglasses

2. Lit up Halloween jack-o- lantern basket.

3. Lit up phone case

4.  lit up necklace

5. lit up globe

6. Lit up hat

7. Lit up container

8. lit up headphone case

9. Lit up pencil case

Our table top 4 (not in order) :

1.  Lit up Halloween Jack o lantern basket

2. Lit up coffee cup with heat sensor.

3. Table edge cover lit up

4. Lit up sunglasses.

Other table top 4 (not in order):

2. A flashlight.

3. Night light with darkness sensor

4. A lit up belt buckle.

LED it Up!

Light Switch BreadBoard

This week, in class,  we worked with Led’s, Batteries, Breadboards, switches, and wires.  We also worked with Arduino and 9 volt batteries. I learned what a bread board was and it what you can use it for. It can be used for prototyping and makes connections for you.  I also learned how to connect a battery to a LED. It was a lot simpler than I thought. The longer leg was placed on the positive side and the shorter leg on the negative side of the battery. Another thing I learned about was Arduino.  Arduino is a code writing software.  I used when I was trying to make the light blink.

The grabber’s hang out place

Our groups project was to design something to hold the grabber with. After coming up with a few designs we finalized  the hook idea. The hook idea is where  two hooks, as seen in the picture, are placed on top of the white board. The grabber can be easily placed on to the hooker. We wanted a simple design that would work well. Our design allows the grabber to rest on the hooks with ease. Board Piece
