We should be able to help out tonight at reprap Wednesday. Over a year ago I started making parametric 7 segment printouts that one could specify size and dimensions for. <div><br></div><div><div><a href="https://github.com/miloh/scad_stl/blob/master/7segment.scad">https://github.com/miloh/scad_stl/blob/master/7segment.scad</a></div>
</div><div><br></div><div>Use with regular leds and a shift register, or now with rolf's 5x5 charlie plex badge. We could print them out on repraps, ToM's or the Series One, no problem. I'd like to help!</div>

<br>
I have LED tape, which is 8mm wide and has surfacemount LEDs every inch or<br>
so. It can be cut to multiples of three. I want to make numbers like<br>
this:<br>

So i want to use the replicators to print (using clear PLA) pieces which<br>
are the shape of single segments. The segments should have indentations<br>
in them to correspond to the LEDs on the tape (and the resistor too).<br>
Each segment will have 12 LEDs behind it - two pieces of tape side-by-side<br>
with 6 LEDs on each piece. The LED tape looks like this:<br>

<br>
more accurately:<br>

<br>
I don't have a PDF of the LED tape but I will try to find one. Otherwise<br>
we can just look at the actual tape, which I do have, and measure it.<br>
<br>
I would like someone to help me design this piece from scratch and get it<br>
to print. Then I want to print 23 of them from clear PLA. There's pay.<br>
<br>
Is this something we can do today? or at least get started?<br>
