My partners and I are ideating about something we could make with a 3D printed design that uses LEDS.

1. LED Rubix Cube

2. LED Clock (Specific color per hour)

3. Pendant light

4. Sunglasses with LEDS

5. Spinning top with LEDS

6. LED phone case

7. LED rainbow

LED it up…

Today in class we worked with LED lights and some other stuff to light up the lights!

 

Here some super cool pictures showing what we created (Photo creds to Oonagh):

LED 1 LED 2 LED 3

Doing these activities, I learned how to connect a battery and a switch to circuit board. I also learned how the placements of the wires effect the resister and the LED. They need to be lined. I also learned how to use a coin batter to light up an LED. The coin batter is a small circular object shaped like a coin, hence the name Coin batter. It fits int a small slot with then has 2 places to connect wires which you can attach to a circuit.

3D Sketchup Idea

Our group decided to create a pencil holder that would fit into the rectangular opening of Ms. McDonald’s front table. The pencil holder will be fit to size of the rectangular hole in the desk, then adjusted to be slightly small so the box can be lowered into the opening. A centimeter wide stability was placed around the top outside edge of the box so that it would be able to hold itself up on the table.
