IRON MAN ARC REACTOR [UNDER SHIRT]

thingiverse

I created a 3d printed housing for the reactor lens, LED rings and arduino pro mini that I used to control them. I attached the communication pins for the UART 2 USB board I have individually so that I could remove them easily once I was done programming. This allowed everything to fit nice and tight.The original instructions call for 1/8th inch laser cut acrylic from panoko but I went ahead and got the 1/4 inch instead with matte finish. for the final effect I left one untouched and painted/sanded the second to remove the paper matting and clean up the ink. Layering them together gives the Reactor a good surface finish with lots of depth. I used solidworks and provided both the stl and the sldprt files. It's all friction fit, so no screws or glue necessary. Slot in the back allows for easy maintenance, just push with your thumb to open it up.
