Description
This is the repository for the digital files for the YouTube play button award with RGB lighting and live subscriber / view count as seen in this video:
The code repository + electronic hardware details can be found here on GitHub:
https://github.com/embracemaking/YoutubePlayButton
You will need to 3D print the STL files in this listing. Regular PLA will work fine, I would suggest white filament for the triangle model for the YouTube play button so that the RGB LEDs can shine through without disturbing the colors.
I have also attached a cutting guide for the 8x10 picture frame backing. You will need to print this to 100% scale.
There is also an Adobe Illustrator file that can be modified with your social media name and also be printed at 100% scale to fit within the 8 x 10 picture frame.
Please see the original video for all of the assembly instructions AND CHECK THE VIDEO DESCRIPTION ON YOUTUBE!
