Led coat Button

prusaprinters

<p>This started as an idea that one of the women at the local hackerspace had.&nbsp;<br>She wanted to have shoulder-buttons with port and starboard lighting.</p><p>With that idea i made this Ø32 mm coat button, which i plan to sell on etsy.&nbsp;<br>Hence the CC BY-NC-ND license.<br>However to test i made a Ø25 version for my own jacket as it happened to miss 2 buttons.</p><p>After about a week i found out that the leds needed some strain relief, therefor i designed a backing plate, which the led legs goes through and into 2 small grooves, where the 2 wires are then soldered onto the led in a recess near the edge.<br>The wires themselves are also strain relieved by going between the fabric and backing and then through it.</p><p>I tested the backing and it could succesfully hold +2kg for more than 2 hours, where the led still worked afterwards.</p><p>There are 2 versions of each button, one that just sits over the led (not yet tested) and one that should be pressurefit, though i had to drill the buttons with a 5mm drill to get perfect fit, followed by gluing the led in place with CA glue.</p><p>They are designed to fit these leds, but may fit others<br>https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32869675133.html</p><p><br>They are designed to be printed on an SLA printer, so dont expect it to work on an fdm based printer.<br>I printed mine on an anycubic photon mono, using Lafvin Transparent resin.</p><p><br>Released by OKK-Design.eu aka Mysli0210 (kaspertulstrup@gmail.com)<br>Under CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 license<br>https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/</p><p><br>Hope you like it :)</p>
