Cyberpunk Spikes – 3D Printed Electronic Fashion
Before you get started, follow the Gemma M0 guide or the Classic Introducing GEMMA guideÂ
Make your own flexible, spiky, glowing accessory using NeoPixel strip diffused by NinjaFlex flexible 3D printing filament! Magnets let you attach the spikes to anything in your wardrobe. The soft flexible enclosure holds GEMMA, the tiny microcontroller that animates the LEDs, and a rechargeable lipoly battery.
For this project you will need:
- Gemma M0 or GEMMA v2 wearable microcontroller (the Trinket M0 would also work)
- 60 LED per meter NeoPixel strip (1 meter)
- NinjaFlex Snow White flexble 3D printing filament
- slide switch
- JST extension
- 500mAh lipoly battery
- six rare earth magnets
- safety pins or needle and thread
- Permatex 66B silicone adhesive
