Valentine's Day Rose (Neopixel)

by wanamaa

I incorporated a Neopixel circuit into the Valentine's Day Rose model by Alessio Detoni (can't find the model on here anymore) for a fun Valentine's Day surprise. I used Windows Model Maker to hollow out the rose stem, added a 10.2mm hole in the bud for the Neopixel puck, a channel on the stand to route the wires, and a home/cover for a XIAO RP2040. Programmed the Neopixel to cycle rainbow colors. Printed the bud in a no-name brand transparent PLA, stem in Jade Green silk, base in black, and lettering in red or purple (my wife wanted her name so I whipped something up in Tinkercad). Shout out to Alessio Detoni for the original design, please credit their model if you a remix. I only take credit for adding the hole in the rose bud for a NeoPixel, the hollowed stem, and the XIAO RP2040 mount/cover. MicroPython code added, as well as a BOM for parts to order. I also uploaded the original rose and the joint in case folks want something closer to Alessio's original model. Feel free to reach out with any questions. And if you like the design, please give it a like!
