Human: Quick aside, if you remake or remix this at all, I would be absolutely thrilled to see it! Please share your makes or remixes either here or tag stovie_steam on Instagram! For this project, the 3D printed components served as a base to hold the clear plexiglass/acrylic piece and house the electronics. Both parts "click" together seamlessly (there is a slight rib on one piece and an indentation on the other where they fit perfectly). The other materials for this project include: 1. Mini speakers 2. Bluetooth controller 3. LED wifi light controller 4. LED lights 5. 12v to 5v converter (I repurposed the chip from a USB car charger) 6. Acrylic/plexiglass 7. Access to a laser engraver (I visited the makerspace at a local college for my project) Links: 1. https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/cui-inc/GC0351M-3/GC0351M-3-ND/383533?WT.srch=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiA37HhBRC8ARIsAPWoO0xkKdGaGmbidq26QKyK-QmSb89EHsW8wzNldfFzSSTJEEdyX-PE8-kaAn2IEALw_wcB 2. https://www.amazon.com/KNACRO-Wireless-Bluetooth-Receiver-Amplifier/dp/B01EW6IJ1Y/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1546461476&sr=8-10&keywords=bluetooth+audio+board 3. https://www.amazon.com/SUPERNIGHT-Wireless-Controller-Working-Compatible/dp/B01JS0KEBW/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1547148576&sr=8-2-spons&keywords=led+wifi+controller&psc=1 4. You can simply search LED light strips on Amazon and find a cheaper version without a remote or use this link: https://www.amazon.com/Lighting-Flexible-Changing-Controller-Not-Waterproof/dp/B06XT86B67/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1547148691&sr=8-2-spons&keywords=led+light+strip&psc=1 5. Just find a converter on Amazon or purchase a USB car charger at your local store. 6. I bought mine at a local plastic scrap place; you may find it cheaper on Amazon or another site. STEPS TO CREATING IT: 1. Gather all the parts. 2. Use a laser engraver to engrave and cut the acrylic. Engrave your design, ensuring the length of the acrylic is 7 inches or less (or edit the dimensions of the base if you're capable). 3. Solder the speakers to the wires on the Bluetooth controller. 4. Attach a micro-USB to the 12v to 5v converter. 5. Solder together wires from the LED controller to the other side of the 12v converter (cut and strip the wire on the LED controller so you can solder wires together). 6. Plug everything in. 7. Place it all in the 3D printed enclosure and glue it together (all pictures display electrical tape as a temporary adhesive). FOR MORE VISUALS, I POSTED MOST OF THE PROCESS ON MY INSTAGRAM @ stovie_steam. https://www.instagram.com/stovie_steam/ Feel free to ask questions. If you recreate this, PLEASE POST PICS! I'd love to see everyone's renditions! Either post here under the Make/Remix tab or tag me in it on Instagram! Happy building and creating everyone!
