Description
For this mask, my goal was to make something easy to assemble that could utilize a battery pack and LED strips. This is a face mask and works well with a hoodie to cover the wires and battery pack which can clip to your headband or clothes. Although you can see out of the front, this mask does have limited peripheral vision.
This mask was scaled to fit an average person but it's important to check that it'll work for you before printing! For minor adjustments and comfort, you can glue small pieces of foam to the interior of the mask.
Before printing, you can measure the mask in Bambu Studio to check the fit. It is recommended that you check the overall width, height & depth along with the width of the eye opening. To do this:
|
| Insert the LED strips through the back of the mask as shown. The circuit boards for each LED will fit in the shown slot. Be careful not to put too much stress on the strips during this process. | |
| Check the orientation of the LED strips to ensure that the front side will be facing out. | |
| Press the LEDs into the channels. Because the lights have a rubberized surface, a press-fit should be sufficient but glue can be used if needed. | |
| Insert batteries and thread the cables through the battery pack base as shown. The power switch should be aligned to the gap at the side. | |
Attach all wires to the power distribution board.
| |
| Slide the potentiometer into the electronics pack and the power board on top - the wires can pass through the channel in the front as shown. | |
| Place the lids on each pack - the integrated clips can be used to attach the packs to your headband or your clothing. | |
| Turn on the power to check that everything is working. If the lights don't work, double-check your connections on the power distribution board. |
