Project Ideas for LEDs and 3D Prints

My partner and I are ideating about something we could make with a 3D printed designed that uses LEDs:

1. A lightboard thing
2. a push car
3. A ping pong table with LED scoring
4. ring that could go around a frisbee to make it visible in the dark
5. a bicycle blinker or light
6. buoy pond decoration
7. clock face with lights

Top 4 table ideas:

1. Frisbee light
2. Bicycle blinker
3. fake ice cube lights

LED it up Reflection

Circuit board RGB LED

While we were designing circuit boards, I re-learned how to use switches, add multiple batteries, and how to use the RGB LEDs. We designed a circuit board with multiple batteries and 12 LEDs. The sheer amount of LEDs meant that the large amount of batteries used would not cause any of them to instantly burn out. The picture on the left is our breadboard, and the picture on the right is the 4-pronged RGB LED.

Grabber Holder

Our group (Josh, Ross, Shane) made 3 different designs to hold the grabber on the white board. We made on to hang it vertically on front, one horizontally on front, and one vertically on the side. We decided on the horizontal hanger, which has two hooks and supports it across the board. We made it red to contrast the blue of the grabber.

SketchUp Dining

chair and table

 

While using SketchUp to make this dining room with a table and chairs, I learned a lot of useful features. To make the chair, we used exact lengths, the push/pull tool, the guidelines, and the 2 point arc. In order to make more chairs and position them correctly, we had to use the copy/paste feature and learn how to use the rotate tool.
