Alien Flying Saucer (USB)

thingiverse

This Arduino-based spaceship is powered by a standard USB connection. The light pattern can be programmed and customized to create unique effects. The model is printed using dual extrusion, allowing for semi-transparent areas that showcase the lights from within. This feature enhances the overall visual appeal of the spaceship. View a demonstration of this model on YouTube at https://youtu.be/TUwZc-IqQZA. To assemble the spaceship, print two sets of STL files together: Ship Construction v2 - body top.STL (solid color) Ship Construction v2 - glass top.STL (transparent color) Additionally, print these two STL files together: Ship Construction v2 - body bottom.STL (solid color) Ship Construction v2 - glass bottom.STL (transparent color) Print one of each of the following parts to hold the LEDs for the center lights on the top and bottom: Ship Centre Bottom.STL Ship Centre Top.STL To complete the spaceship, print three sets of legs, which require supports during printing. To ensure proper alignment, print the legs on their side. Required STL files include Ship Construction Gear v2. Optional Print: The Ship Centre Paint Holder is a useful part for holding saucer halves with a popsicle stick during painting.
