LED lit NinjaFlex Letters
Posted: Fri May 08, 2015 5:18 pm
I recently started printing with Ninjaflex on my Makergear, you can see the settings and tips on one of the other forums: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2212&p=11984#p11984
I am almost done but I wanted to share some of the pictures from the project. I have 2 more letters to wire then I am going to sew it on a black trucker hat for my girlfriend. It's going to be used as festival swag ... who wouldn't want a flashy hat with the word LOVE on it in big bold letters?!
Video of the LEDs in action. I am using Adafruit Neopixels & a Gemma chip

I did a couple of runs with the letters to get them just right, my girlfriend recommended that I print the letters face down on the glass because it made them look smoother. Genius
This is why you need to use hairspray when you print, otherwise you might have a casualty .. fortunately the other 2 letters survived.
