First cketch

My idea is to make a pannier belt that is made with 3D printed boning, vinyl cut pattern on the fabric and 3D printed spikes with RGB led lights insight. The plan is to have a few different programs of lights, some still, I would like to both di the pride flag and the bi flag color but also some flowy moving programs.

I am a very alternative person, and this would be to take my festival outfits to another level.

I was putting it together when I realized glue does not hold well to HDPE so I took out the staple gun, that did a good job holding everything together.

I did three test and picked the one in the middle to use as the pattern for the project.

I 3D printed half at a time, I used organic support like I did in This is from Week 2

I glued the bottom onto the hip cage and screwed the top on.

I sewed a little pouch to hold the power bank and the main board is on that pouch. You can see two separate sections of wires one goes to the led strip and the other goes to the button.

Here you can see the button and how well the case hides it, there are four wires connected to the button board, power, GND and two data, that is because I added a hall sensor for future use.

The license I chose is CC BY-NC which you can read more about here, but in short any one is allowed to use my design al long as they credit me and it is not for commercial use.
