NeoPixel Stick Enclosures

# NeoPixel Enclosures 3D Model files for creating enclosures for [Adafruit NeoPixel Stick (8x 5050 RGB/RGBW LED) products](https://www.adafruit.com/?q=neopixel+stick&sort=BestMatch). The Adafruit NeoPixel products provide an easy and convenient way to add customized lighting effects to any project. The NeoPixel products can be driven from an Arduino or other microprocessors using Adafruit libraries and example code, 3rd-party libraries, or writing custom software that meets the strict timing requirements of the NeoPixel LEDs (e.g. WS2812 LED modules). Please see the [Adafruit NeoPixel Überguide](https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-neopixel-uberguide) for more details on the NeoPixel ecosystem, their large array of products using these LEDs, electrical connections and software instructions and examples. This collection provides enclosure design files for a few different enclosure variations for basic protection, ease in handling, and for possible mounting to your other projects. Included in the Collection are: 1. *Simple Enclosure*: minimal enclosure comprised of front and back parts (**neopixel_x8_stick_case_front_simple.stl** and **neopixel_x8_stick_case_back_simple.stl**, respectively) requiring no mounting hardware, but is loosely held together by friction of the overlapping parts; 2. *Screw-in Enclosure*: more robust and slightly larger enclosure that is held together with M3 screws and nuts. Built using default model front and back parts (**neopixel_x8_stick_case_front_screwin_flathead.stl** and **neopixel_x8_stick_case_back_screwin.stl**, respectively), requires 2x M3 x 10 mm long flathead (countersunk) screws and 2x M3 nuts; 3. Alternate front model part for *Screw-in Enclosure*: **neopixel_x8_stick_case_front_screwin_roundhead.stl**, fits with the same back model part above, but does not have a countersunk screw hole. Ideal for use if you don't have access to flathead M3 screw hardware, but do have pan-head, rounded, socket head or button head style M3 screws. 4. Alternate back model part for *Screw-in Enclosure*: **neopixel_x8_stick_case_back_screwin_selfthread.stl**, fits with either front enclosure part ('flathead' or 'rounded'), but is designed to self thread the M3 screw directly into the plastic of the back part. Therefore, the screw hole is slightly smaller diameter (2.9 mm instead of 3.2 mm, like other parts) and there is no inset nut pocket since there is no need for nuts with this optional configuration. If using this alternate back part, you will require 2x M3 x 8 mm long (flathead or rounded, depending on which front part you are using), since the holes do not go all the way through the part. The original OpenSCAD design files for these NeoPixel Stick enclosures are all available, along with a detailed information further customization of these parts, on my [neopixel-enclosures GitHub Repository](https://github.com/pfliegster/neopixel-enclosures).
