![]() ![]() Now it’s time for the fun part – printing the model with an embedded electrical circuit. Save the gcode to an SD card and load it into your printer. Next, select both processes and click “ok,” then wait for the software to finish slicing your model. For both processes, you’ll need to do a little bit of gcode manipulation, adding a command to allow for cold extrusions detailed instructions are provided in Step 5 of the Instructable. There are two separate processes in the factory file: one containing the printing parameters for the black PLA, and one containing the parameters for the Electrifi. You can download the necessary files either directly from Instructables or from Thingiverse once they’re downloaded, open the factory file in Simplif圓D or whichever slicing software you choose. It’s not exactly a beginner project, but it’s a fun challenge. For this dual print, you’ll need a dual extruder 3D printer, plus two 5050 red LEDs Electrifi filament regular PLA filament slicing software (Flowers recommends Simplif圓D) modeling software a solder reflow workstation (or a hair dryer) a 3.7-volt lithium polymer battery and charger JST connectors two 2mm bolts, washers, and nuts a wrench or screwdriver and tweezers or needle-nose pliers. Multi3D presents this Instructable in collaboration with their customer Patrick Flowers, who designed an impressive, glowing-eyed Terminator head on Thingiverse and decided to share it on Instructables. There’s a lot you can do with Electrifi – including creating a 3D printed Terminator head with terrifying red glowing LED eyes in only 11 steps. The latest is brought to you by Multi3D, creator of the conductive Electrifi filament. Instructables is a hive of creative ideas for and by makers of all sorts, and we’ve covered a lot of the more interesting and unusual 3D printing projects. There’s some scary stuff out there on the Internet – and a lot of it is 3D printable. ![]()
