The Magic Hat

Since the deadline is 32 hours away, I've split the print job into two parts to allow for adjustments in the GCode on components as needed; however, with optimal print settings, all components will fit within a 280mm x 300mm print bed. I'm attaching .STL files of my model with modeled supports and without, giving you the option to choose what works best for your setup - all offsets are set specifically for my machine, which is approximately 0.762mm in size. Once the print is complete, connect each resistor to the anode of its corresponding LED (long leg). Although the wiring and code could be simplified, this approach saved me time. I've connected the black servo wire to ground on the Arduino UNO, the red wire to the 5V pin, and the orange wire to pin 9. I've also wired the free end of each resistor to ground, and the free end of each LED to pins 12 and 13. For further assistance, I've uploaded a detailed wire diagram. The attached Arduino code is in a .txt file and may require some tweaking depending on your servo's specifications. To attach the arm/hat combo to the servo, I used hot glue for easy removal after the holidays; then, I slid the servo into the upper Makey's torso. The LED's fit snugly into the snowman's head. To conceal the wires, tuck them away behind the Makey's and Snowman. Use 8-32 bolts to secure the dome to the snowflake base and add an ornament wire - since I didn't have one, I improvised using safety wire.
