Creepy 3d Printed LED Eyes (wear-able)

My son wanted to be a spider for Halloween. I wanted to add some unique touches to his costume so I 3d printed some LED lit eyes. I modeled them in Fusion 360 and printed them using my dual extruder MakerGear M2, a dual extruder 3d printer is not required though.

The eye can be lit with a 3mm LED and a watch battery, no other electronics needed.

I liked them so much I made a creepier version for myself. The base can be sewn to fabric using the recesses in the base. The base was dual extruded with black ABS and HIPS as a support material which was later dissolved away. I uploaded the models to Thingiverse and created some YouTube videos below. Shiny version shown was finished with Smooth-On XTC-3d.

• 3d printer - MakerGear M2 dual extruder is what I used (This link is for single extruder version, Amazon doesn't sell the dual extruder version)
  • filament PLA or ABS would work for either part
    • I used natural and green PLA for the green eye.
• 5mm LED
• CR1620 Lithium Battery
  

• Smooth On XTC-3d coating for smoothing 3d prints

• Duplicolor Scratch Fix All-In-One- Bright Red

• Duplicolor Scratch Fix All-In-One- Black

• Clear Spray Paint

• Sand Paper - I used 220 and 600

I've uploaded a short video to show you the basic process I used to model the Creepy Eyes.

I used Spheres and the Combine features to create the majority of the eye. Fusion 360 is great free CAD software and is quiet powerful. Be sure to check it out.
