# Fix-It Felix Jr. Hammer with Sound FX ## Overview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXzWTuzz3HU ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/036/614/medium800/3d_printing_fix-it-felix-1.jpg?1476490794) ## 3D Printed Cosplay Props With Audio FX In this tutorial, we'll use an Adafruit Audio FX Mini sound board, ampilifer and speaker to add sound effects to a prop for cosplay! The lessons and steps used in this guide can be used appiled to any prop. In this project, we designed and 3D printed **Fix-It-Felix' Golden Hammer** from the Disney movie, _Wreck-It-Ralph_.  The Adafruit Audio FX sound board is very easy to use – There's no programmer required! Simply plug in microUSB from the board to your computer and it shows up like a USB flash drive. Drag & Drop WAV or OGG sound files! ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/036/603/medium800/3d_printing_hammer-holding.jpg?1476473551) ## The Golden Hammer We designed the hammer optimized for 3D printing and electronics. A pushbutton is mounted to the handle and triggers an array of sound effects, each time it's pressed. The speaker is mounted to the head of the hammer, while the battery and breakout boards are fitted inside the handle. There's six total pieces that snap together. Each part is hollow and requires no support material. 3D print the parts yourself or send the files to a service like 3DHubs to have them 3D printed and shipped to you. ## Prerequisite Guides We suggest walking through the following guides in order to get a better understanding of the components.

Depending on your project, you'll have to figure out where to find them, or make them yourself. Sorry, I can't offer the samples I used for my golden hammer here due to copyright issues. _Don't want to get ourselves in trouble now do we!_ ## File Formats  The Adafruit Audio FX mini sound board will support audio files in WAV or OGG format. I highly suggest using the OGG format because it will make the file size of your samples very small – This is especially necessary if you're using the Audio FX board with 2MB of flash. ## Copy Audio Files to Audio FX Board Easiest part of this project! Connect a microUSB cable from the Audio FX board to a USB port on your computer. The Audio FX board shows up exactly like a USB flash drive. Before you drag and drop your audio samples to the drive, you'll have to name them with a special title. The Audio FX board reads the file name and figures out what type of trigger method to use. For this project, since I'm using just one button to trigger several samples. I named them the following: - **T00NEXT0.ogg** - **T00NEXT1.ogg** - **T00NEXT3.ogg** - **T00NEXT4.ogg** ## Full Details on Copying Audio  Please walk through and read the guide on copying audio to the Adafruit Audio FX board. If your project uses several buttons or special trigger methods, you can find out all the details and capabilities of the Adafruit Audio FX board there. Just click on the button below to pull it up!

If you don't have access to a 3D printer, you can send the STLs files to a service like [3DHubs.com](https://www.3dhubs.com) ## Material I used a golden colored PLA from [MeltInk3D](https://meltink3d.com/shop/pla-filament-for-3d-printing-meltink3d/gold-pla-filament/). This could be printed in any color, but printing it in gold avoided having to spray paint it. If you're new to 3D printing, I suggest using PLA because it's the easiest material to print with. It doesn't require a heated bed and prints on most FDM 3D printers. ## Supports & Orientation I designed the parts to print without needing any support material. They are already oriented in the correct orientation to 3D print, so you can print them as is. They should be positioned in the center of the bed. You can decide weither you need a raft, glue stick, blue paint, etc. I printed my parts on a glass heated bed.

The parts don't have much detail, so they should be relatively easy to sand, spray paint and smooth. # Fix-It Felix Jr. Hammer with Sound FX ## Wiring ## Parts Before we start, make sure you have all the componentst and proper tools to build this project. There's a full list in the overview page. If you haven't already, copy the audio files to the Adafruit Audio FX board.  ![3d_printing_parts.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/036/596/medium640/3d_printing_parts.jpg?1476467855) ## Power Wires for Audio FX Board OK, let's start by preparing some wires for connecting the JST switched breakout to the Adafruit Audio FX board. I suggest using 30AWG silicone cover wires because it's thin, flexible and high quality wire. I used two different colored wire, blue and red, to help tell the connections apart. Cut two pieces, about the length of the audio FX board. Then, use wire strippers to remove some insulation from the tips of each wire. Next, tin the exposed tips by applying a small amount of solder – this will make it easier to connect and prevent the stranded wires from fraying. ![3d_printing_wires-jst-sfx.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/036/512/medium640/3d_printing_wires-jst-sfx.jpg?1476389838) ![3d_printing_wires-tinning.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/036/513/medium640/3d_printing_wires-tinning.jpg?1476389954) ## Connect Wires to Audio FX Now that we have our wires, let's connect them to the Adafruit Audio FX board. I suggest securing the board to a panavise jr. or helping third hands – This will keep things steady while we solder. Secure upside down, so the bottom of the board is facing up. Then, apply some solder to the two pads with the negative and positive labels. Now you can heat up the pads with the tup of the soldering iron and stick the wires onto each pad. Blue for negative, red for positive. ![3d_printing_sfx-pwr-tin.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/036/514/medium640/3d_printing_sfx-pwr-tin.jpg?1476390039) ![3d_printing_sfx-pwr-wires-soldered.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/036/515/medium640/3d_printing_sfx-pwr-wires-soldered.jpg?1476390105) ## Connect Audio FX to Power Next, connect the wires from the Adafruit Audio FX board to the JST switched breakout. Secure the JST switched board and tin the two **GND** pins and the **SW** pin with solder. Now, connect the **positive** wire to the **SW** pin and the **negative** wire to one of the **GND** pins. ![3d_printing_jst-tin.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/036/516/medium640/3d_printing_jst-tin.jpg?1476391146) ![3d_printing_jst-sfx-wired.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/036/517/medium640/3d_printing_jst-sfx-wired.jpg?1476391176) ## Test Power Circuit OK, now that we have our JST switched breakout wired to the Adafruit Audio FX board, we should test it out. Grab the JST connector from the 2200mAh battery and plug it into the female JST connector on the JST switched breakout. You should be able to power it on using the tiny on/off switch. The green LED from the FXboard will turn on as soon as you flip the switch. If it's all good, disconnect the battery and set aside.  ![3d_printing_test-jst-sfx.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/036/522/medium640/3d_printing_test-jst-sfx.jpg?1476391503) ## Ampilifer Wires Next up, we'll work on connecting the audio ampilifer to the Adafruit Audio FX board. We'll need a set of wires, four in total, to connect them. Just like we did for the power wires, cut, strip and tin the tips of each wire. They can be the same length. Tip: Bundle wires on one arm of the helping third hands to quickly tin. ![3d_printing_amp-wires.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/036/518/medium640/3d_printing_amp-wires.jpg?1476391276) ![3d_printing_amp-wires-tin.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/036/519/medium640/3d_printing_amp-wires-tin.jpg?1476391304) ## Ampilifer Wiring Once wires are ready, let's go ahead and secure the amplifier to the panavise jr. or helping third hands. Again, I suggest tinning pins before soldering in wires. Then, solder in the four wires to the **A+** , **A–** , **VIN** and **GND** labeled pins on the amplifier. ![3d_printing_amp-tin-pins.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/036/520/medium640/3d_printing_amp-tin-pins.jpg?1476391432) ![3d_printing_amp-wired.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/036/521/medium640/3d_printing_amp-wired.jpg?1476391457) ## Connect Ampilifer to Audio FX Now we can connect our amplifier to the Adafruit Audio FX board. I suggest tinning the pins on the Audio FX board first – Notice a trend here. Ok, here's the following connections you'll need to make: - A+ from Amp to L pin on Audio FX - A– from Amp to GND on Audio FX - VIN from Amp to VIN on Audio FX - GND from Amp to GND on Audio FX ![3d_printing_sfx-amp-tin.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/036/568/medium640/3d_printing_sfx-amp-tin.jpg?1476457323) ![3d_printing_sfx-amp-wired.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/036/569/medium640/3d_printing_sfx-amp-wired.jpg?1476457352) ## Circuit Checkpoint Woohoo! Look at the circuit and apprecaite our work :-) So far we have our JST switched breakout and Amplifier wired to our Audio FX board. Check point! ![3d_printing_sfx-amp-jst.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/036/570/medium640/3d_printing_sfx-amp-jst.jpg?1476457585) ## Pushbutton Wires Our pushbutton is up next! We will need two wires if you're using a regular pushbutton. In this project, my pushbutton has an LED, so I needed four wires. Depending on your project, you'll need to figure out how long the wires need to be. For the hammer, I needed them to be fairly long – 5 inches was enough. Then, cut, strip, and tin the tips of each wire. After that, tin the leads of the pushbutton by adding some solder. ![3d_printing_button-wires.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/036/571/medium640/3d_printing_button-wires.jpg?1476458000) ![3d_printing_button-tin.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/036/572/medium640/3d_printing_button-tin.jpg?1476459042) ## Wire Pushbutton + LED A regular pushbutton doesn't require specific polarity, so you can freely choose which lead to be positive and negative. Since my pushbutton has an LED, polarity matters – luckly the LED has a positive and negative label right on the pushbutton. So, depending on your project / pushbutton, wire them accordingly. ## Add Resistor to LED A current limiting resistor is required to prevent the LED from blowing out. I used a 220ohm resistor inline with the wire and the positive lead. ![3d_printing_button-gnd-wired.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/036/573/medium640/3d_printing_button-gnd-wired.jpg?1476459337) ![3d_printing_button-pwr-wired.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/036/574/medium640/3d_printing_button-pwr-wired.jpg?1476459360) ## Speaker Wires Now it's time to work on the speaker. The thin speaker most likely comes with wires already connected. I found they weren't long enough for this project, so I removed them by heating up the pads on the speaker and pulling them off. Since the speaker is being mounted to the head of hammer, the wiring needed to be long enough to reach the Audio FX board in the handle. It ened up being pretty long, like 6-7 inches in length. This will vary from prop to prop, so take some measurements! Remember, it's better to have the wires be too long rather then too short! ![3d_printing_speaker-remove-wires.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/036/575/medium640/3d_printing_speaker-remove-wires.jpg?1476459618) ![3d_printing_speaker-wires.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/036/576/medium640/3d_printing_speaker-wires.jpg?1476459643) ## Wire Button LED to Power I didn't think speakers needed specific polarity, but there was a positive and negative symbol printed on the pads, so I followed them accordingly. OK, now we have our speakers ready to wire into the amp. Before we do however, we'll need to assemble the 3D printed parts. This project is a bit special, because we can't wire all of the components before mounting them to some of the 3D printed parts. This is because if we did, we wouldn't be able to fit the components through the 3D printed rod. So if your prop has similar features, you'll need to think about that. ![3d_printing_speaker-wires-solder.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/036/579/medium640/3d_printing_speaker-wires-solder.jpg?1476459786) # Fix-It Felix Jr. Hammer with Sound FX ## Assembly ## Install Speaker into Head On to assembly! The speaker should snap fit into the cover/cap of the hammer. If it's too tight or too loose, you'll have to either use a filing tool to open up the cavity, or glue it in place. Eitherway, that's one of the caveats of 3D printing – tolerances tend to vary from printer to printer, slicer to slicer. If it does fit,  well then you're just won the maker lottery! :-) ![3d_printing_speaker-install-head.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/036/584/medium640/3d_printing_speaker-install-head.jpg?1476462793) ## Install Head into Neck Next, we'll need to grab the two wires from the speaker and thread them through the neck of the hammer. The cover/cap of the hammer has to be installed in a certain way – There's a little grove along the lip of the cover. The neck of the hammer has a nub on the edge that snap fits into the grove of the cover. This helps keep the two pieces connected together, but allows you to remove if you need. ![3d_printing_speaker-install-back.gif](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/036/585/medium640thumb/3d_printing_speaker-install-back.jpg?1476462819) ## Install Neck into Base Now we can thread the wires from the speak through the base of the hammer. The smaller cylinder from the neck of the hammer simply fits into the hole in the hammer base. These should have a pretty tight fit. ![3d_printing_neck-install-base.gif](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/036/586/medium640thumb/3d_printing_neck-install-base.jpg?1476462849) ## Install Base into Rod OK, next we'll need to thread the wires from the speak through the rod. Notice the rod has a coil only on one end? That end actually twists onto the bottom of the hammer base. Pretty cool huh? Just make sure you thread the speaker wires through the right end and twist the parts and fully tighten. ![3d_printing_base-install-rod.gif](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/036/587/medium640thumb/3d_printing_base-install-rod.jpg?1476463152) ## Install Rod into Handle Now we can thread the speaker wires through the handle. That's lots of threading! The end of the rod without the coil snaps into the side of the handle with a hole on the end. The other hole (the one on the flat side) is actually for the pushbutton. Make sure the speaker wire comes out from the handle. ![3d_printing_rod-install-handle.gif](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/036/588/medium640thumb/3d_printing_rod-install-handle.jpg?1476463557) ## Install Button to Handle Let's install the pushbutton into the handle. First, guide the wires from the button into the hole and pull them through so they come out from the bottom opening of the handle. Press the pushbutton down until it's flush with the surface of the handle.  ![3d_printing_button-install-handle.gif](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/036/592/medium640thumb/3d_printing_button-install-handle.jpg?1476465376) ## Connect Speaker to Ampilifer Now that we our 3D printed parts mostly assembled, we can move onto connecting the remaining components together. Here, we're connecting our wires from the speaker into the amplifier. Positive to positive, negative to negative. ![3d_printing_amp-audio-tin.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/036/589/medium640/3d_printing_amp-audio-tin.jpg?1476463594) ![3d_printing_amp-speaker-wired.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/036/590/medium640/3d_printing_amp-speaker-wired.jpg?1476463629) ## Connect LED from Button to Power If your pushbutton features an LED, you'll need to connect the wires from it to the JST switched breakout. I found soldering the positive wire to the SW pin a bit tricky because the power wire from the Audio FX board is already in there, so you'll need to be cautious it doesnt come out when you solder both in. Luckily, the JST breakout has two grounds so you can use the remaining ground for the negative wire of the LED. ![3d_printing_button-led-jst-wired.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/036/591/medium640/3d_printing_button-led-jst-wired.jpg?1476463688) ## Connect Pushbutton to Audio FX All that's left to wire is the two from the pushbutton to the Audio FX board. One needs to go to the pin labeled **#0** and the other to **GND**. The pushbutton can be wired to any of the 10 numbered pins, but since we named our audio files with a 00, it needs to go there. If you do wire it to a different number, you can easily rename the file to reflect the pin number. ![3d_printing_sfx-button-tin.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/036/593/medium640/3d_printing_sfx-button-tin.jpg?1476465528) ![3d_printing_button-sfx-wired.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/036/594/medium640/3d_printing_button-sfx-wired.jpg?1476465555) ## Test Final Circuit Now we can do a final test and see if everything works! Grab the JST connector from the battery and plug it into the female JST port on the JST switched breakout. Flip the switch on and press the pushbutton to trigger the audio samples. If everything went well, you'll hear some sound effects! Woohoo! All that's left to do now if to  (carefully) stuff all of the components into the handle. I didn't get a photo of this because it's kinda hard to see. But, one thing I did use is mounting putty / tack to stick the components in place. You could also use double sided foam tape or glue – whatever you prefer. The end cap for the handle simply snaps into the bottom. Easy! ## Turning it On/Off I made sure to keep the JST switched breakout close to the end cap so I can easily get to it and turn it on/off. Depending on your setup, you'll need to figure out how you'll get in and out of the prop. ![3d_printing_final-circuit-test.gif](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/036/595/medium640thumb/3d_printing_final-circuit-test.jpg?1476465890) ## Recharge Battery The 2200mAh battery should last an hour or more depending on how much you trigger the audio samples. Once the battery is depleted, you can recharge it using an [Adafruit Micr Lipo charging breakout](https://www.adafruit.com/products/1904).
