Zombie control Collar V2.0 (OLD)

thingiverse

V6.0 is here! Check it out in my other prints. I'll leave V2.0 published, since almost all the parts are incompatible with the new, improved version, and this one is currently slightly larger. This collar was created by me a few years ago before I got my 3D printer. I wanted to see what a 3D version would look like when printed. Updated 10/17/15 Feel free to add your input on printability and design if you make one of these. I added a battery screw for reference. It is difficult to print, so you can order the real deal from McMaster Carr. The battery compartment has been designed to accommodate a 123A Lithium battery. It lasts many hours, and it's readily available. The battery door and battery compartment have holes in them so you can use a needle or pin as a hinge pin. I used IDE ribbon cable wires for the LEDs. I've included a wiring diagram for the LEDs, and the resistors can go on either side of the LED. There are many places to put them in the model. The parts include conduits for the wire to power the LED on the side that does not have a battery compartment, pass a wire through the conduit just under the hinge. K&J Magnetics supplied the 12.6mmx5mm Disks from N35 ZD3. They are amazingly strong given their size (4 required). Digikey supplied the Resistors and battery components: CF14JT10K0CT-ND (8.3 Ohm, 1/4W Resistor) (2 required), CONTACT BATT W/TABS POSITVE A/AA (1 required), CONTACT BATT W/TAB NEG SPRG A/AA (1 required). SuperbrightLEDS.com supplied the RL5-R3545 2.6V 50MA Clear Red LEDs (2 required). McMaster Carr supplied the Part Number 91390A183 Set Screw (1 required). Conduit was found on an LED snake light I discovered on Amazon. Red "Lights" are Acrylic Round Rod, Translucent Red, 1/2" Diameter, 2' Length from Amazon. The battery compartment is in two parts: an upper and a lower. This way it can be printed without supports. You may notice that the Chain anchor is missing from this design. I did not print mine on the printer. Instead, I took a piece of flat bar steel and glued (welded actually) a half link of chain to it. The sides of the collar have places to put magnets in to hold the chain anchor on. This way if anyone pulls too hard on the chain it pops off, protecting you and the prop! I got plastic chain at Lowes, and painted it silver. Please note that this is NOT a screen accurate model; some liberties were taken, and parts were modified to simplify construction and printing. The parts in this model can be printed with minimal/no supports. I included some star-shaped mouse ears to aid with Bed adhesion when printing with ABS. They should be removed as part of the finishing process.
