Introduction: Peter Penguin Glow in the Dark USB Friend

For the project, I made a 3d print of Tikercad's mascot, Peter Penguin, that can be plugged into a USB port. Though I had to do this for a class, my inspiration came from a file I found on Thingiverse titled Fred the frog USB friend by gentlemangoose. Fred is a small frog that plugs into the side of your computer. After printing Fred the frog, I thought making my own "USB friend" would be fun.

Supplies

For this, I used my computer to design a file, a 3d printer to make it, and glow in the dark printer filament to make it glow.

Step 1:

Step one was to print Fred the frog to get an Idea as to how well it would print, fit, and how big it needed to be.

Step 2: Design

Step two was designing my own "Usb Friend" using Tinkercad.

Step 3:

Next was testing the design and making adjustments.

Step 4:

Once I was done with that I printed it off as well as a small hat. Then all I had to do was glue the hat on.
