tranceMaker

thingiverse

The TranceMaker is a true marvel of 3D literacy. It is a towering stereo that demands to be the center of attention at any party. Guaranteed to mesmerize audiences and induce a trance-like state! There are some truly enormous 3D printed components on this stereo, but unfortunately not all users have access to super-sized 3D printers. For that I apologize, but we're pushing the boundaries here! To build the TranceMaker you'll need a 3D printer with a print volume of at least 220x220x400mm. If you don't already own one - consider building it from scratch! I've been working on this project for several months now and I'm still getting used to juggling all the moving parts. It features an incredible amount of NeoPixel strips and rings, (2) 6x9" speakers, (2) 6 1/2" speakers, a basic no-name brand stereo from AliExpress that I scored cheaply, an Arduino Mega board and prototype shield, 360-degree wire flange, NEMA 17 stepper motor, 2GT motor pulley and belt - all totaling over 100 separate components. The highlight of the TranceMaker is the hypnotic spinning spiral of NeoPixels inside the base unit - dancing in perfect sync! To pull this off you'll need a specialized 12-conductor, 360-degree wire flange from Adafruit. There are 7 zones of NeoPixels working together simultaneously. Depending on how many zones you'd like to add, here's a tutorial from Adafruit that should help you get the job done - check it out: https://learn.adafruit.com/multi-tasking-the-arduino-part-3/overview. The total cost for this project is around $1000 so keep in mind before diving in. Printer Settings: FlexMendel Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution:.3mm Infill Percentage: 15% Honeycomb Post Printing Details: A mountain of wire awaits you! Customize to your heart's content by adding or removing NeoPixels as desired.
