Black Widow Bites MK1

thingiverse

Here's a set of Black Widow Bites I designed for my friend's cosplay, utilizing modified versions of the AAA battery holder from Thingiverse (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:456900) to power it and another design (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:505184) to enable each piece to connect together and articulate smoothly. This design requires just three AAA batteries to power three 3mm blue LED lights, which I connected in parallel using a single 100-ohm resistor. A small square hole is designed for a 9mm x 4mm switch. For the wires, I repurposed old CAT5 cables. If you decide to replicate this project, make sure to use stranded patch cables instead of solid wire. Additionally, I recommend skipping the brim on the battery holders as it can cause binding and messy cleanup during the printing process.
