Astromech LDP CSL (Large Data Port) + Vegas by hoodlumj3

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

One CSL LDP (Large Data Port) for my R2 (Dave's Styrene plans).
Did this in 123d Design and further in Fusion 360 (Vegas Neopixels)
I created the LDP in this way for easy sanding, painting, assembly (for me at least) and fitting to the styrene body but magnets will secure them to the body when finished.
You can omit printing the back pieces if you want it open - else choose backfull or backvegas (neopixels).
Can be hot glued (or glue of your choice) together - I use PS3 screws from https://www.aliexpress.com/item/20PCS-For-Sony-PS3-PS2-PS4-Controller-Philips-Head-Replacement-Screw-Set-Screws/32526791783.html
6 x Magnets are 10mm x 2mm N35 - Ebay
33 x Neopixels - 1m of 144/mtr (so 144 of them) cut them down.https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1m-5m-WS2812B-Smart-led-pixel-strip-Black-White-PCB-30-60-144-leds-m-WS2812/32636234899.html
I got the "Black 1m 144 IP30"
Orient the pieces as in the Simplify3D screen shot - not as thingiverse have them (weird).
