After finishing the Protecor of Gotham minifig I knew I had to do this one. Similar to the former build in terms of components but wiring was a bit more complicated as power and switch needed connection to the torso and helmet.
Hips and arms were used from Skimbals original minifig:

Helmet was a bit more complicated. a 5mm LED (brightness: 900 mCd) worked nice inside the helmet and was cast in transparent superglue. Unfortunatly light loses a lot of intensity when coupled into the clear (somewhat) eyes. If I would print this again I would use different LEDs to get a more uniform appearance. (brighter for the eyes, darker for the torso).

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!
Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
