Brothers Noe and Pedro Ruiz at Adafruit has got you covered this Halloween with a 3D printed NeoPixel LED Gas Mask. Inspired a bit by Star Wars, Fallout, and Guardians of the Galaxy, this sweet, flashing gas mask is perfect to accompany your 3D printed Star Lord Element Guns.
As with all of their projects, you’ll need a handful of electronics and other parts that you can purchase from the DIY site: “1 16x NeoPixel Ring, 1 24x NeoPixel Ring, 1 Laser Diode – 5mW, 1 GEMMA, 1 Costume Goggles, 1 500mAh Lithium Polymer Battery, 1 Slide switch, 1 2.5 meter EL Wire (Any color), 1 EL Wire Inverter.” You’ll also need a 3D printer with a build volume of at least 180mm x 150mm x 150mm (7.1″ x 6″ x 6″). Noe warns that the 16 parts for the gas mask require about 14 hours total in 3D printing time, though they won’t require any support structures. Optimized for FDM/FFF 3D printing, it’s recommended that the parts be printed at tight tolerances to be snapped together upon completion.…
