I took the brain from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:620846 and scaled it down by 50%. I then cut out an area in each half for the RGB LEDs to sit. The magnets need to be melted in still but remember magnets lose their strength to extreme heat. The LEDs run down the center of the stand and come out the back, then connect to the Arduino Uno. I used hot glue to secure the bulbs and wires along the bottom of the stand. You could probably use two regular LED bulbs with just batteries if you want to bypass the Arduino.
Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!
Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!
