NeoPixel Tiara
2015-Aug-25, Tuesday 08:08 pmI love the Adafruit Learn site, particularly the wearables section, there are some really fun ideas in there. And when I saw the NeoPixel Tiara I knew I needed one. I had almost everything already, except the 3d-printed band.
To TOG! We downloaded the thingiverse file (tiaraHolesClose.stl), converted to gcode, and watched the LulzBot Taz print for 50 minutes. *cue montage music* It was a pretty good print, given how fine some of the detailing is, but our process needs tuning as there are artifacts, and the strands are coming apart as I touch them. Still, usable!
On to the assembly! ( Process details await )
And, because the tutorial code has a nice sparkle effect to it, here's a short video.
I am going to wear this everywhere.
