Pokemon Pikachu Led Light

prusaprinters

A simple plate with a box to build a led light representing the Pokemon Pikachu (see my other builds with Popplio and Eeve). How to printReally easy to print with 0.2mm. I recommend to add support for the box for the slot in which you will insert the pokemon plate, it will provide a better print. The rest of the print is straight forward.How to buildTo assemble the box, use M3 threaded inserts in the holes, and use use M3 bolt.The pokemon plate holds in the slot without glue.For the leds, use mini WS2812B RGB led PCB. Wire them in series and glue the leds at the back with hot glue.The hole at the top of the box is designed to hold a rotary encoder. You can program this encoder as you. Personnally I use it as follows:Click to toggle the lightRotate to change the hueFor the controller, many solutions are possible : Arduino Pro Micro, ESP32, …Personnally I have used an ESP32 programmed with ESPHOME. The ESP32 will perfectly manage up to 8 leds without powering issue. With ESPHOME it is easy to use the rotary encoder to interact with the led (or with all your home automation).BOMLeds: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001971988539M3 inserts: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000585933306.htmlM3 bolts: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32800975883.htmlRotary encoder: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/10000056483250.html
