Teach you to add cool lighting effects to your headphones with LED and 3D printing

Recently, at the DIY hot station Adafruit, the active user Ruiz Brothers released a tutorial that teaches you to add an app-controlled LED light to your headset using a 3D printed case.

In fact, such a project is to put a smart LED ring on each side of a pair of headphones. These LED rings are mounted on a 3D printed enclosure and can be controlled by iOS or Android devices via a Bluetooth connection. The user can preset the LED flashing model through the app to select his favorite color combination and beat.

However, to make such a cool 3D printed retrofit headset, there are four components that need to be purchased: an Adafruit Feather 32u4 Bluefruit LE, a 500 mAh lithium polymer battery, two 16×NeoPixel LED rings and one Slide switch. In addition to these components, you'll need to prepare a 3D printer and other things—not to mention that you need to have a pair of headphones. However, the Ruiz brothers warned that the 3D printed casing in the project is not suitable for all styles of headphones, and is best suited for headphones that have a flat ear cup and are not covered by the head. Each 3D print housing has a diameter of 58 mm, so it's a good idea to prepare a ruler before proceeding with this project.

It is understood that this 3D printing project has been set as "intermediate" by the Ruiz brothers, so for entry-level DIY enthusiasts, there may be certain challenges, especially in electronics. However, they detailed the Arduino, and the circuit design part of the tutorial, so you should follow the tutorial step by step, there should be no problem.

The 3D printing part is relatively simple, and the parts that need to be printed are also relatively small. Basically, all types of 3D printers can do the job. The Ruiz brothers recommend the use of PLA wire, although it is not possible to use other 3D printed wires. They suggest that you can modify the part design provided in the tutorial based on the actual size of your headset, and recommend that you use Autodesk's free 3D modeling software, Fusion 360, which is the software they used to design the project.
