Iron Man chest piece

thingiverse

The illuminating feature in this Iron Man chest plate is a Electroluminescent Panel/Sheet that produces its own light through an electrostatic excitation process. It's crucial to ensure the EL sheet can be cut according to your desired shape and size. Specifically, refer to the third photo for the type of sheet you should opt for. A standard A5-sized EL sheet typically costs between $26-$36 AUD on online marketplaces such as eBay. In most cases, the inverter is included with the EL panel, simplifying the purchase process. For assembly purposes, it's essential to utilize a two-part adhesive, specifically Araldite. By following these instructions, you'll be able to achieve a solid bond and complete the construction of this DIY Iron Man project. To keep the EL sheet firmly in place, the elastic band loop at the bottom of the chest plate should be tight. Moreover, use Araldite to securely fasten the elastic band/velcro strip that holds everything together. For added flexibility, there are additional loop attachments on top that can be used if needed.
