Project Ideas for 3D LEDs

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

1. light up clock

2. light up shoe

3. water bottom that lights up depending on how much water you have in the bottle

4. light up earnings

5. light up glasses

6. light up hair extensions

7. light up speakers

8. light up socks

9. light up bookmarks

Top 5:

1. water bottle

2. hair extensions

3. Eiffel tower

4. light up watch

5. glasses

Other Table Top 5:

1. human heart diagram

2. light up dagger

3. light up brain

4. light up CA sign

 

Arduino 9/16

The first thing I learned today is the the resistor has to connect to the shorter end of the LED. Another thing I learned how to do is make a LED blink instead of it just being a stable light. I also learned how to right a code and that codes have to be exactly correct or else it will not work. We ran into a lot of troubles with our coding as well.

USB Holder Design

Our groups design was a box that hangs on the wall to hold the USBs and their accessories. An important thing that we added to our design is that there is a little lip around the entire inside of the box that is 1/5 of an inch that secures the USBs and makes sure they do not fall out. We also have a tab at the top with holes for screws to go threw so it can be screwed into the wall. LizUSB
