The Division - Shoulder Beacon v2

NOTE: SEE v3 HERE: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1411233 My second version of a Tom Clancy's The Division video game costume prop is complete. It's a sleek shoulder beacon/gizmo that all characters wear in the game, but to be honest, I'm not quite sure what its function is yet. If you're planning to make a Division-themed costume, this prop is a must-have. Inside, it uses approximately half of the parts found in a standard NeoPixel Goggle kit (research "NeoPixel Goggle Kit" online if you're curious). If you'd like my custom code for this design, feel free to let me know.

Print Settings: Printer: XYZ Printing DaVinci 1.0A Rafts: Yes Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.1mm Infill: 100% Notes: Be aware that various parts will require unique printing settings. How I Designed This: I spent considerable time reviewing available videos, screenshots, and concept art for The Division (attach an image). After completing the design, I came across additional pictures that made me think it could use some minor tweaks for complete accuracy. (While nobody may ever take a close look at this prop, I have my doubts.)
