LED backpanel for MCR USB card reader #3DThursday #3DPrinting

RFZ shares:

Since the MCR USB card reader only has boring little green/red LEDs, I designed a much better RGB LED backpanel for it.
It requires 10 LEDs / 16cm of a regular WS2812B/SK6812/neopixel LED strip with 60 LEDs/m. Prints best with 0.5mm extrusion width. The holes of the alignment and mounting pins may be tapped with M4 threads to fix the backlight module in place with two 10mm M4 screws.
The optional cable box with screw terminals is just glued in place.
Requires matt, frosted, milky, natural filament.

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!

Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
