[Noisebridge-discuss] 3d modeling help - seven segment displays

[Jake]

I need to make giant LED numbers.

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

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

more accurately:

I don't have a PDF of the LED tape but I will try to find one.  Otherwise 
we can just look at the actual tape, which I do have, and measure it.

I would like someone to help me design this piece from scratch and get it 
to print.  Then I want to print 23 of them from clear PLA.  There's pay.

Is this something we can do today?  or at least get started?
