Project ideas for LEDs and 3D Prints

My partners abd I are brainstorming about projects we could make with a 3D printed design that uses LEDs:

1. Necklace

2. Picture frame

3. Phone case

4. Mouse

5. Keyboard

6. Ring

7. Glasses frame

8. Watch

 

Top 11 Table Ideas

1.Phone Case

2. Computer Skin that lights up

3. Box

4. Cars with light up wheels

5. Watch

6. LED Lamp

7. Light up ball- lights when thrown

8. Glasses with lights (triggered by blinking)

9.light up clock where numbers light up

10. light up charger (changes based on battery level)

11. Light up phone case

 

LED Circuits

Today we constructed circuits that made lights light up. These lights were powered by a battery that was attached to the Arduino board. The power of the resistor I used along with the battery was enough power to make the lights light up. One of the lights started smelling bad because I think we added too much power and it started to burn out. We had three different light bulbs of different colors and wanted to make them blink in a sequence. After plugging in the arduino to our computer, we used the program to make the light bulbs blink one after the other. Capturejhgcjhfjh Capturejhgjhgkhg

Claw Clasp Evaluation of Design Process

Each member of our group made a design and we ended up liking Cade’s design the most so we chose his. Once we chose the design, Cade and I got the exact measurements while Chase made the rough draft/ outline of the design on sketchup. After Cade, Chase, and I finished with our respective duties, we tweaked the rough draft made in sketchup by incorporating the exact measurements. We were finished once that happened but the result should end up with this design attached to a magnet on the board. The two holes in between the clamps of the gripper will easily slide on to the two cylinders and stay there.

Learning Sketchup

I learned how to make certain objects like chairs and tables without importing it from the program itself. I was able to do this by using guidelines and making things like chair legs the way you want to easily. I also learned how to color these objects and expand them as well as being able to rotate them in multiple different ways. These past few days using sketchup have enhanced my skills and I will be able to operate sketchup with ease for future use in this class and other classes. chair and table
