Miniature Base for Electrical Wiring

thingiverse

This is a 50mm by 50mm base perfect for housing translucent Reaper Miniatures. The compact size makes it easy to install a small sewable CR2032 holder from Adafruit underneath the base, along with a switch that gets connected seamlessly. Strategically placed holes allow for tidy connections of basic LED stickers or sequins to the battery using minimal wiring. I personally prefer using sewable wiring from Adafruit for its ease and efficiency. To seal the wiring and LED on top of the base securely from moisture and paint, apply a thin coat of hot glue. Gently place your translucent miniature on top of the small LED and then seal around its edges with more hot glue. If done carefully, you can disguise the hot glue as part of the base texturing. By utilizing an "effects" sticker from chibitronics, enhancing the LEDs becomes a breeze. Typically, I apply this sticker to the top of the battery case before pulling the wiring through the holes and gluing everything inside the base securely. Hot glue doesn't damage these simple parts at all, nor does it pose any issues with heat production from the battery.
