Description
This is my version of the Iron Man II Arc Reactor.
4 printed pieces, (28) 5mm white LED's, (28) 0805ish 820 ohm resistors. Lots of soldering. Superglue. 12V power of some sort.

Instructions
Print out all 4 Pieces. Low layer height is necessary on the coils and core to minimise the 'stairs' effect.
Also, the parts are designed for .4mm extrusion width. Anything other than that is untested.
Everything can be black/grey ABS except the diffuser, which should be made from transparent blue PLA at lowest infill.
4 LED's need to be cut/sanded down to fit in the center 4 holes.
The resistors are a bit awkward since I used 0805 surface mount versions. I did this all in 1 day with what I had on hand, so no apologies. Don't try this if you don't have good soldering skills. You have been warned.
I've uploaded some of my pictures of the wiring, but because there can be so many variations I will let you decide on your own details.

ReplicatorG keeps crapping out on the Reactor Coils not sure why. Granted I'm still new and don't know the guts of gcode and such.
Division by zero errors and comb.py freaking out. Any thoughts? Running Build 0037

can you send me the cad i wanna work it on catv5 so stp file
it will be pretty apprecieded because i use it for my final projet in my technical institute in montréal i give you my email kevcyrenne@hotmail.com
You say that the resistors are awkward since you used 0805 surface mounts; if you were to do this again, what kind of resistors would you use?
