Fiber Optic Dress #WearableWednesday « Adafruit Industries – Makers, hackers, artists, designers and engineers!

Fiber optic cables has helped us discuss sooner all through the planet, enabling telecommunications on a grand scale. These cords can carry light for high-speed data connections. They’ll moreover carry light that seems pretty. Proper right here’s a endeavor from Natalina on Instructables on making a fiber optic costume:

The design of the costume adopted the fiber optics that it wished to assist. As there could also be one central light provide, I designed the once more to include a pouch for the cope with, and the straps of the costume to ship the fiber optics from the center once more to the doorway, and once more throughout the physique to a good distribution on the hips.

An infinite design downside was the fitting method to give the filaments enough elevate on the skirt, as I wanted the skirt to push them out at as near to a 90 diploma angle as attainable. I was considering points like a very boned building or 3D printing small objects for each group of filaments to angle them out at a really perfect correct angle. Nonetheless in the end I merely went low tech and stuffed the skirt with tutus 🙂 I’d nonetheless favor to find these completely different two decisions in the end.

See project!
