The Division - Shoulder Beacon v3

thingiverse

Here is my third version of a costume prop for Tom Clancy's The Division video game. It's some kind of shoulder beacon / gizmo that all the characters wear. I'm not really sure what it does in the game, but if you're making a costume for The Division, you'll need one. Version 3 is longer, and adds buttons on the left side, texture on the back, socket head cap screw pockets on the top, as well as some other changes. The internals are basically 1/2 the parts in a NeoPixel Goggle kit (Google it). My custom code is posted in the files. Follow the NeoPixel Goggle Kit tutorial on Adafruit's site, and use my code. The flexible portion of the antenna is a piece cut from a small tape measure, then dipped in Plasti Dip tool handle coating (fill a 3/4" PVC pipe with it, so that you can dip the whole length with several coats). To connect the antenna portion to the body, bend a section of #10-32TPI threaded rod into a "U" shape. You'll probably need to heat it with a torch, or it will break instead of bending. The screws in the top are #6-32 and #2-56 SHCS, which you can buy at McMaster-Carr. Attach some sort of clip to the back plate. I epoxied one of these on... http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DUXL7W4 Here's a video of the previous version.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwMSWwzUPG0 Enjoy! Please Like it.
