Illuminated Hummingbird Remix

thingiverse

This is a remix of the remix created by GeoDave. This adds Illumination. You will need to download the parts library from GeoDave as I have only provided the ones associated with the illumination and motor size change. I cover the modifications to this project in this Video https://youtu.be/hS0tKBtI4Q0 The creator of this bird is Greg Zumwalt https://www.instructables.com/Hummingbird/ Greg’s 25mm motor adapter https://www.instructables.com/Hummingbird-25mm-Motor-Adapter/ I printed the parts from GeoDave which are mostly not interchangeable because all threaded parts are a more printable thread. GeoDave’s post explains why. He provided some nice changes including beveled edges on the gear to ward off affects of elephant foot. GeoDave also added a large selection of SCAD files to make modifications. <h3>Other Parts</h3> You need the parts library from Geo Dave https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2978552 Instructions on assembly are with Greg’s post. Same quantity and variety of parts. <h3>Parts used in the LED strip</h3> [12V 1Amp power adapter](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FEOB4EI "I used these multi pack power supplies") [12V 4mm LED light string, daylight white ](https://www.amazon.com/YUNBO-6000-6500K-Waterproof-Flexible-Cuttable/dp/B07K18HS94 "4mm LED light strip") <h3>Barrel Jack Connector</h3> [Barrel Jack of this Style](https://www.amazon.com/ThreeBulls-Pieces-5-5mmx2-1mm-Female-Connector/dp/B01N8VV78D "You only need One Barrel Connector") <h3>Adjustable Motor Controller</h3> Item size: 30*24*15mm This looks the same.. [I bought this Motor Control](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WGT8K82 "Motor Control I bought") [There are many brands that look the same](https://www.amazon.com/Onyehn-Controller3V-Control-Switch-Dimmer/dp/B07GP72BWV "same style") <h3>Motor</h3> 20mm 50RPM motor. They also had a 100RPM in this size I think could be used. [They list several RPM Motors](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D294GS7 "I bought the 50RPM motor") <h3>For the Dimmer a Capacitive LED switch.</h3> Here are some links to some like products. It needs to be 40mm x 10 or smaller. I provide the base with switch center and a clip to hold the board in place if you print the base with the switch center in the back. [This is a US Based touch switch example](https://www.amazon.com/IKSACE-Capacitive-Control-Kitchen-Cabinet/dp/B08KDG1MZ5 "Example Touch Switch") [Here is an example on Aliexpress](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32846782608.html "Aliexpress example") [Here is a Banggood Example](https://www.banggood.com/10pcs-DC-9V-To-24V-Touch-Switch-Capacitive-Touch-Sensor-Module-LED-Dimming-Control-Module-p-1323825.html "Banggood Example") If you are going to try this illuminated Hummingbird, these are the parts I am providing and what they replace from GeoDave's Part library. Stem (Replaces GeoDave’s Stem.stl) Stem_with_Electric_Holes.stl <h3>Choose a base.</h3> I showed the 20mm base with the motor directly mounted. (Replaces GeoDave’s Base_Mod_HollowBot_Rev9.stl) I am providing the 20mm motor base and the 16mm motor base in case you want to try the adapter. Base_LargerMotor_16mm_PowerCenter_SwitchCenter.stl Base_LargerMotor_20mm_PowerCenter_SwitchCenter.stl <h3>Threaded pin to hold wing to frame.</h3> While it is a slip on pin… you can screw it in. If it loosens… consider glueing. It is such a short pint I printed it in PETG for a little flex. It prints flat side laying down. That should make the threads a little rough so it won’t come out. 2mm_Threaded_Pin_for_Wing_Mod_Rev1.stl <h3>Wheelbody and Connecting Rod</h3> If you print the wheel body with recessed hole you will need the longer connecting rod. (Replaces WheelBody_Mod_2x_Rev2.stl and RodConnect_22_Mod_2x_Rev2.stl) WheelBody_Mod_Rev2_Recessed_Nut.stl RodConnect_22_Mod_Rev2_Thicker_for_6_2_Recessed_wheelbody.stl <h3>4mm Motor Gear</h3> In case you want to see if you can get the motor gear on a 4mm shaft with breaking it… (replaces GearMotor_10_Mod_Rev8.stl) Gear_Motor_10-tooth_4mm-Motor-shaft_Mod_Rev1.stl <h3>From Greg’s Adapter library.. </h3> 20mm to base with 16mm motor hole 20mm-Motor_to_16mm_Hole_Adapter_Sleeve.stl 16mm Version Gear adapter… I think the original was already 4mm but I could not tell so I re-cast the hole with the size I used. Motor_Gear_adapter_4mm-hole.stl <h3>New Parts I added</h3> capacitive_Switch_Bracket.stl (holds the light switch board in the switch center) Motor_hole_Plug_20mm_10mmdeep.stl (covers the motor hole… a plug) motor hole touch button... I don't recommend this option. The switch center I added to the back provides a place for the board. The motor button hole requires wires that at any point they touch something could short the ability for the touch sensor to work... but just in case you want to try... I have included the parts Capacitive_Touch_Button_for_Motor_hole_16mm.stl Capacitive_Touch_Button_for_Motor_hole_20mm.stl If your touch spring is bigger than mine I have provided the SCAD file to regenerate the button with the appropriate spring retaining rings of your choice. Motor_hole_Plug_or_Capacitance_button.scad <h3>GeoDave Modified Parts</h3> The six bolts I increased the shoulder on I am including so don't have to re-create the mod. You can always make your own custom lengths from GeoDaves Scad files. BoltWheelBody_Mod_Rev7+point3_shoulder.stl BoltWheelBase_Mod_Rev7+point3_shoulder.stl Bolt_61223_Mod_Rev8+point3_shoulder.stl Bolt_6128_Mod_Rev7_8+point45_Shoulder.stl Bolt_6104_Mod_Rev7+point3_shoulder.stl Bolt_684_Mod_Rev7+point3_shoulder.stl Other remix things people have done with this bird.
