Hello, Jayy here, your favorite Oddity. Today I will walk through a simple step by step set up to ‎make your own Steampunk Display Case.‎

Parts:‎

The 3D model files can be downloaded here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5825185 ‎‎

STEP#1: Print the Parts

Like most of my builds, a 3d printer is required. The only thing I recommend for this step is ‎printing the bracelet and the gears on the highest detail setting, you may have to do some light ‎sanding to smooth it out, but it's the best way to ensure the gears work.‎‎

STEP#2: Assembly

Place the servo into the ring and add a screw to hold it in place.‎

Add the round servo horn to the drive gear as shown.‎

Add the bottom battery holder and slide the power cord through the hole.‎ ‎

I designed the top to hold a Circuit Playground Express, which is the brains of this project. ‎

It should now look similar to this:‎

The top piece should just slide on.‎

STEP#3: Code

I used Make code to make this little test code for the circuit Playground control board. The code ‎can be downloaded here:‎

Click and drag the code to your board, and that's it.

You can add anything to the top, and the board will help it glow.‎
