Iron Man Arc Reactor with Circuit Playground Express

thingiverse

This is a fully programmable Iron Man Arc Reactor with an Adafruit Circuit Playground Express. MakeCode makes it easy for kids to program different patterns, colors, music, and even turn on or off by clapping hands using a drag-and-drop interface. The 3D parts were remixed from an existing project by Aelkaim. I modified the Crystal Bottom to hold the CPX, and the Crystal Ring to hold a 24 Bit LED ring. Print all parts at 95% scale for best results with the linked parts below. Scaling down may be necessary if you use different parts.
