Milk bottle neopixel holder

thingiverse

A sleek and radiant lantern crafted from a bracket cradling a versatile "Breadboard friendly Neopixel" (a programmable color-changing LED available at adafruit.com/products/1312) nestled within a translucent milk bottle, a common size in the UK measuring 38 mm neck. Multiple holes are strategically designed for hanging purposes; I plan to utilize them in an early-years children's play space. The sturdy grip is intended for standard headers that have been expertly soldered into place, making it a hassle-free and modular system. Both the clear and white bottles prove to be effective - unfortunately, I find it challenging to make a decision between them. **Assembly Instructions** This print job consists of a single piece, but the lantern requires several essential components: * 500ml Milk plastic bottles with 38mm openings * Neopixels equipped with headers (available at adafruit.com/products/1312) * Wiring to power and connect each unit, preferably using standard alarm system 6-core wire for its reliability and affordability * Rope or twine for hanging, but do not use the power cables * An Arduino board or a similar microcontroller to drive them, thanks to the library being available at no cost from adafruit For optimal performance, ensure that the room is darkened; light exposure may impede visibility. Keep in mind that these lanterns are not designed for outdoor use and therefore lack weatherproofing.
