You can find more of my designs on my Patreon at www.patreon.com/fntsmn. I created this design after Blizzard contacted me because they saw my work and wanted to publish it. When they reached out, I only created the base version of this gun without the electronics parts, but when they told me they wanted to feature my work, I decided to push even further and create space for all the electronics parts and program the effects of the light, as well as control them from my iPhone. The 3D model was designed with printing by color assembly in mind, easy to print, and able to print all the parts on a normal size desktop 3D printer (20X20X20ish). I know how much time and frustration can come from post-processing all the parts with sanding, filler, and paint. To make it easier, I added the color you should print each part in the name of each file, and with the help of some super glue, you'll be able to assemble the gun. My first version of the guns was a hit on the internet, and people like "3D Printing Nerd" and "Barnacules," two big YouTubers in the 3D printing community, decided to print the original gun without the electronics. I was tagged all over the internet with people printing one, and they really enjoyed how the gun printed and came together (And yes, a lot of people tried to sell the 3D printed version on Etsy too...). I created a complete video on my YouTube channel showing step by step what I did HERE. Here is a list of all the components I used: Adafruit Feather 32u4 Bluefruit LE (http://ow.ly/10BLyi) NeoPixel Ring (http://ow.ly/10BLCh) NeoPixel Digital RGB LED Strip 144 LED (http://ow.ly/10BLH4) Lithium Ion Polymer Battery (http://ow.ly/10BLP6) Slide Switch (http://ow.ly/10BLXt) Silicone Cover Stranded-Core Wire (http://ow.ly/10BM4p) You can check out the Circuit HERE. About the code, I followed this guide step by step done on the website Adafruit where they use the LEDs in a similar way. I won't release my personal code; instead, people should try to make their version and follow the well-done guide on the Adafruit website. If you need a short version of how to assemble the gun, I created a small animation of the normal version, which is pretty much the same as this one, with only the central parts having more components. You can see it HERE.
