SPACE GLASSES

prusaprinters

<p>I've had this idea to make some LED eyeglasses for a while, so tonight I sat down and made them. It's a quick and dirty build. I used Fusion360 to make the model, printed it on our Prusa MK3S in a draft setting, and used a BlinkyTape + PatternPaint to make a quick ‘cycling’ animation.</p><p>I was mostly interested in how the side-mounted LED rings would reflect off of the plastic. It might also be interesting to try printing it in a higher quality setting, and use some post-processing to create more of a mirrored finish.</p><p>TIP: if the glasses don't fit quite right, they can be adjusted by carefully heating the plastic with a heat gun, then quickly bending it a little to get the desired fit.</p><p>Parts required:<br>1x ‘glasses front.stl’<br>1x ‘right side.stl’<br>1x ‘left side.stl’<br>2x m2 screw, around 8mm long<br>2x <a href="https://shop.blinkinlabs.com/products/led-ring-with-24-right-angle-leds-inwards-facing">LED rings</a><br>1x <a href="https://shop.blinkinlabs.com/products/blinkytape-control-board?variant=985353020">BlinkyTape controller</a><br>1x USB cable<br>1x USB battery pack<br>some loose wires<br>soldering iron+solder</p>
