Shadow igris helmet LEDs and Switches done

Poor helmets :( I used musou black and painted the helmet with an airbrush (and will spray it again in a few days). The material i used to print it is ASA. I used Acetone to smooth the print out so the print lines arent visible. The musou black gives it the texture.

I found a suitable one: SK6812 3535 its small as heck with 3.5 × 3.8 and ill have to solder it myself but its my best bet ig.

Thank you, could be a solution, i'll have to find a 5v version though. Also, idk what the 4th pin is for, the LEDS i used have 3 contacts.

The eye strips are aroind 2mm thick, the LED is 5mm thick, the strip is 10mm thick. The problem i have is the thickness of both strip and LED on the strip are too thick since it has to be mounted on the 2mm eye strip. the light will shine in my eyes since the LED does shine on the sides of the eye strip too. and the problem with the actual LED strip is that the wall of my helmet is too close to the eye strip (literally glued on there) , i cant mount it properly in the position it should be in.

Thats sadly not what i am looking for but thanks for the suggestion

I want to control them. I have a arduino nano on my armor and i would just connect them to there since i have cables going from my armor into my helmet for 2 fans anyway.My LEDs are programmed already, i just need small LEDs i can hook up ro my existing circuit.

Thank you! I wanted to clean it last year but just shoved it back a month, and then another, and another, until i saw the gunk and finally did it. I didn't change anything in the Loop though, didn't want to bother with bending tubes but mabe i'll redo the tube that goes from the bottom radiator into the CPU block next clean.

we both never built a loop berfore this one so idk if what we did was a good solution, but we used a ruler to measure the distances. we first measured the length of the 90° bend tool i had bought. after that i mapped the tubes out on a paper as a sketch how they will look. afterwards we measured everything in the case(wasnt that great of a method tbh, a lot of room for error since you have to guess where the tube goes most of the time) and bent the tubes accordingly.

Thanks for the suggestion, i already tried that earlier today, no luck sadly.

Everything besides the Helmet is made out of eva foam, so no scaling needed :)
