Sonic the Hedgehog LED Neon Light

Model has been modified to fix the large space by the nose in the assembled picture

Materials:
- 82.5cm of Blue 12v flexible neon leds (Exactly 33 sections of 2.5cm, most strips are cuttable at this specific increment)
-12v 1A (or more) Power Supply
-DC Female Plug
-Switch or Dimmer Switch

Assembly
1. Print the model (Approx. 3h20m with .6 nozzle & .3 layer height)
2. Feed the DC Female Plug into the 3d print at the bottom
3. Cut 82.5cm of flexible neon led (33 sections of 2.5mm)
4. Cut back the silicone to expose the positive and negative pads on the internal led strip
5. Solder the DC Female plug to the pads (Red positive / Black negative)
6. Carefully pull the DC Female plug out the bottom while setting the led neon into the channel of the print
7. Set the end of the neon butted up against the start, and feed the rest of the neon within the channel. Doing it this way helps determine the required spaced needed around the tighter bends, but trial and error works as well lol
8. Desired switch goes between the installed plug and power supply. This is actually optional if you don't mind plugging the barrel connector in every use

This model cannot be resized smaller as it's a press fit of the other components. This model maxes out the build plate on a Prusa MK3s, so make sure your build plate is at least 210mmx210mm.
