CyberGlasses

I’ve been deeply inspired by Jorvon Moss @Odd_Jayy and his amazing Glasses, and I wanted to give this a go myself.

Design

I’ve always loved Casey Neistat’s Rayban sunglasses, so I decided to use that as the inspriation for my own design. I wanted to make them 3d printable, and mostly flat (because it prints much quicker).

The glasses will initially feature a single SG90 servo, connected to a 3d printed part that will hold an Adafruit Neopixel ring light. The neopixel ring will be connected to a Raspberry Pi Pico, which means I can run all kinds of cool code on it to make the servo move and the RGB LEDs light up in different patterns.

In the inital version I have not included a battery or power connectivity; I’ll look into introduce this in a v2 of the glasses.

Bill of Materials

Construction

This is simple enough to construct:

1. Print out the parts - download and print out the STL files
2. Solder wires - Solder 3 wires to the Neopixel ring; VCC, GND and Data to the Pico
3. Glue the Neopixel ring to the ring holder part - Superglue works fine
4. Hinges - Use a piece of 3D printing filament for the hinges
5. Servo - screw the servo into the frame, remove the 3 pin connector and attach the wires as per the wiring diagram below
6. Neopixel ring - attach the Neopixel holder to the servo horn, screw in the little screw to secure
7. Pico - screw the Pico into the Arm using 4x M2 screws
