An ID-Tag: arduino and 3d printing.

For a friend who works in a Gardenzenter I created a Tag he can put on his shirt. I used a 8x8LED Bicolor with backpack.  I wanted to created a holder for this tiny LEDblock.  On the fly I made a first example in Blender...and printed it.

I took 53 minutes to print.  The infill was 25% and was very consitent.

Now I needed a case for the arduino.  I found one on Thingiverse.
The case took 1:53 hours to print.

The lid did it in 46 minutes....  The case looks good. A disadvantage is, however, that it is rather vulnerable.  The walls are rather thin.  But for the purpose I want to use it, it is fine.


After some fiddling with the connectors the system works...with a 9V battery.
