Universal Chest Ring

Update 08/18/16 -
Remodeled both the ring and the base plate. I wanted a design that required minimal supports to print. I also wanted to add the some minor changes to help with overall use. There is now a screw/bolt location that aligns the two pieces. And hopefully the ease of overhangs helps with faster printing.

Added a JPG graphic that is a template for light reflector's and a diffuser to go behind the emblem. In my original prototype I used glossy photo paper to make the reflectors. I cut out the shapes and then super glued them to the base plate. For the diffuser I cut two piece of clear acetate then sandwich a piece of tissue paper or printer paper between them. This goes behind the emblem.

Added links to some other emblem designs.
Modeled and uploaded a design for a back plate/base that will allow attachment of strip LED's. This is based on a mock-up I made from foam core that was used for the prototype.

Added a back plate. It is about 1mm to wide but I enjoy sanding down and making for a snug fit. Eventually I'll go back and add some sort of screw of latch point.

This is a chest ring that was designed using a concept I had for making some cosplay props.

Lots of superhero's and characters have design's a logo's located on their chest. I wanted to make some of those design and have them light up. So I planned out this piece to use in conjunction with separate logo's and let individuals develop their own lighting system.

So far I have modeled these logo's:
Superman - http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1714274
Flash - http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1714336
Batman - http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1714282
S.H.I.E.L.D - http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1714277
Arc Reactor - http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1710575
Green Lantern - http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1100188
Fantastic Four - http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1100201

I still need to add the plate to enclose the back so this is a work in-progress.
