3D Printing + Cosplay
A perfect combination for making great things! This giant helmet is 3d printed in transparent/translucent PLA for a light up wearable, giving you freedom to headbang to your favorite beats.
As a hollowed out shell, you can easily to fit a strip of LEDs inside the helmet for making an epic LED costume. You can even customize the helmet in CAD software to fit your head!
This guide was written for the original Trinket boards, but can be done with either the Trinket Mini, Trinket Pro or Trinket M0. We recommend the Trinket M0 as it is easier to use and is more compatible with modern computers!
Parts
We have two Trinket (or Pro Trinket) setups - one for front and one for sides, so you'll need to have two 'kits'!
- 2 x Trinket M0 - easier to use and more compatible with modern computers.
- or 2 x Trinket Mini - our demo uses Trinket, but for more complex animations you may want...
- or 2 x Trinket Pro - more code space and pins than a Trinket
- NeoPixel Strip - more LEDs mean more complex animations but more power draw!
- 2 x Slide Switch
- 2 x JST Extension/Connector
- 2 x 1200mAh Lithium Polymer Battery - bigger batteries last longer but take up more space.
- Micro Lipo charger for recharging the batteries
