I have not seen anyone ever create an Ant Man Helmet with Glowing Light Bars inside the antenna. So, I made them myself! I have received many compliments on Halloween and wanted to share my design with the community rather than for profit. Please Message me if you have questions. 

 

PARTS to 3-D PRINT: 6 STL Files located in the Print Files category below. 

  • Left Antenna Part 1.stl
  • Left Antenna Part 2.stl
  • Right Antenna Part 1.stl
  • Right Antenna Part 2.stl
  • Antenna Top(s).stl

MATERIAL: PLA- Print using “Clear” or “Translucent” Filament. 

Amazon Filament Link (non affiliate):

Amazon.com: SUNLU Clear PLA Filament 1.75mm, Neatly Wound 3D Printer Filament Transparent PLA Dimensional Accuracy /- 0.02 mm, Fit Most FDM 3D Printers, 1kg Spool (2.2lbs), 330 Meters, PLA Transparent : Industrial & Scientific 1.75 mm Diameter

 

PRINT NSTRUCTIONS: 

  • Print using 0 Bottom Layers for the Antennas because you want the LED strip to fit inside the piece. 
  • Print using 0.2mm layer height. 
  • Support is optional but not required.
  • Brim 15 layers for strong adhesion
  • Nozzle 0.4mm 

BUILD NSTRUCTIONS: 

Insert the LED strip into the antennas and feed though the helmet. I used a 5 Volt LED strip, cut the strip to the desired lengths and soldered any connections to the leds to connect them. I then connected the strips to the power supply which uses a 5volt to 12 volt step up converter. 

I used a LED strip from Amazon: Amazon.com: Kohree 20FT RV Awning Led Light Kit, RGB Dimmable Waterproof 12V Strip Exterior Lighting with APP/Remote Control, for Party Camper Motorhome Travel Trailer (White & Multi-Color) : Automotive

I used a Voltage Converter from Amazon: Amazon.com: DC 5V to DC 12V USB Voltage Step Up Converter Cable, Power Supply Adapter Cable with DC Jack 5.5 x 2.5mm or 5.5 x 2.1mm, USB 5V to DC 12V Cable - 5ft : Electronics

 I used a Battery Pack from Amazon: 5V 2A Rechargeable Battery for Heated Vest Heated Jackets Heated Hoodies 10000mAh Battery Pack for Men Women (No DC port, Not suit for 7.4v Heated Clothing) at Amazon Men’s Clothing store
