Overwatch Snowball Desk Toy

thingiverse

This is a light-up desk toy of Mei's little robot Snowball from Overwatch. It's a static model designed for LED lighting. He comes in standing at just under 5" tall. It is powered by an internal 18650 battery that should provide roughly 8 hours of continuous runtime (at 2200mAh) depending on the LEDs and resistors you choose, and can be charged with a USB Micro B connector, which should allow continuous operation while charging. Included in this download is a ZIP folder with all the parts separated out individually, and organised into folders for ease of browsing. Parts that need multiple copies printed are marked as such with the number of copies required. Also included in this download are a pair of Adobe Illustrator files designed for laser cutting parts, one for an alternate base stand in 1/8" acrylic, the other for cutting out the face mask for Snowball from a sheet of tinted plastic transparency (this part is optional as a tinted mask can cut down the brightness of the eyes, and you may prefer it without this addition). For the parts named as 'Diffusers' in the eyes and the thrusters, I recommend using clear PETG so the light can shine through. The rest of the parts can be printed in PLA just fine. _If available, printing this model with an SLA machine would also be a fantastic option, really helping with the small details and post processing._ Hardware you will need for the full electronic assembly: * [Adafruit Micro-Lipo Charger](https://www.adafruit.com/product/1904) * [Adafruit 18650](https://www.adafruit.com/product/1781) * [(9x) 5mm Blue Strawhat LED](https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BV2OTJI/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) * [ (9x) 100Ω Resistors](https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B072BL2VX1/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) * [12mm Slide Switch](https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N7NCW8N/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) * [(4x) M3 x 8mm Button Screws](https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0734J3CSX/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) * [(4x) M3 x 3mm Threaded Inserts](https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0784VYCYY/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) * [(2x) M2 * 4mm Screws](https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01J7IUBG8/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) * [Thin Gauge Electronics Wire (24 AWG recommended)](https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KQ0D3M0/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) * [Thin Tinted Transparency (For Snowball's Face)](https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B06VT87HRZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) *Obviously many of these parts can be picked up individually from local hobby or hardware stores, but links were provided for convenience*
