Space X Falcon Heavy 3D HD 1080p
3D Printed model for the Falcon Heavy Rocket from Space X. I found the file on Thingiverse, a free 3D project site. I also used a Wemos as a controller and a ring LED lights. Those help with the smoke effect to better simulate take off. I must add I needed to modify the base, opening up the cable hole and widening the section where the Wemos is seated. Not hard, but just something I want to make you aware of. The original version wanted you to use a "wall wart" supply and have a connector on the base. I instead used the USB directly. It's able to supply the board and LED's directly from your computer. As a bonus, if you ever need to change to upload a new program, instead of dissembling it, you just plug the USB cable into your computer. List of parts: Model https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3262427 (Free) LED Ring https://amzn.to/3ogHwN7 Wemos D1 Mini https://amzn.to/3uTQRhC 10 foot USB Micro to USB A cable https://amzn.to/3uTR3NS 28 Ga Hook up wire https://amzn.to/3J0ej2V (really nice to work with) Inland White PLA Filament https://amzn.to/3aJcFWG (Smoke & Rocket) Inland Olive Green PLA+ Filament https://amzn.to/3PyU9yP (Base) Software: Arduino IDE 1.8.19 (version I used) https://www.arduino.cc/en/software You need to install the Library "FastLED" (Both Free) There are several videos on YouTube that show how to download the Arduino software and how to use it. Just be sure you install the FastLED library. Those video's should show how to install and update libraries. The code I used can be found here: http://thekoolgarage.com/videos
