• MY YARD vacuum former

Materials

• HIPS sheet, 0,04 inch
• PET sheet, 0,03 inch
• WS2812 LED ring (48 LEDs - 152 mm diameter)
• Arduino Leonardo

Instructions

• Download the STL files & print them out with the 3D printer
• Use HIPS 1.0mm sheet to form the chassis pan
• Use PET 0.8mm to form the transparent shells
• Clamp the two transparent shells together with clamps
• Glue WS2818 LED ring on the bottom plate
• Download and program the Arduino Leonardo and then solder to the LED input (connect to D2 for signal output)
• Cover the bottom plate with the LED bottom pan, put the doll in, and close the transparent shell
• Connect the power to USB
