Check out Sophy Wongs cyberpunk inspired NeoPixel jack with 3D Printed diffusers. Fantastic mix of 3d printing, electronics and textiles. Be sure to watch the video, it’s super awesome!
Walkthrough of my 3D printed cyberpunk LED jacket, plus an in-depth explanation of how I 3D print directly onto nylon mesh fabric. I wrote a full tutorial for this project which was published in HackSpace Magazine, and in my Wearable Tech Projects book from Raspberry Pi Press (link below).
Please also check out the work of David Shorey and Billie Ruben, who are both pioneers of this 3D printing on fabric technique, and who inspired me to try it:

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
