Hello! I am in the process of designing a "wearable lighting system", and I need to have a place to attach a 9V battery where it will be secure and preferably water-proof. The attached picture is a concept i was thinking of, but of course its still rough. Anyone out there have 3D design capabilities to make it? The idea is to use this "lighting system" to light up the path while running in the dark at night. I just went on a run and twisted my ankle because of a good-for-nothing rock! Ouch! So this is my crazy solution! (:P) For whoever helps and get this things just right, i will return the favor by sending them a printed copy of it in black or natural PLA. Maybe some cash, if we work something out first. The requirements are: -Must be able to hold a standard 9V battery securely inside a compartment -Must have eye loops on either side for attaching a strap -Must be ergonomic so it will be comfortable to wear just above your ankle as shown in the poorly drawn pictures Other than this, please be creative!

Thanks for that link. It should definitely come in handy! :)]]> CidVilas Hello. I need a something designed. For money. Fri, 22 Oct 2010 12:19:57 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?164,64326,64534#msg-64534 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?164,64326,64534#msg-64534 led.linear1.org]

Helpful for series/parallel arrays. You can play with voltage, LED colors, etc.]]> pica Hello. I need a something designed. For money.

Is your personal lighting device using white LEDs?]]> pica Hello. I need a something designed. For money. Fri, 22 Oct 2010 06:52:20 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?164,64326,64446#msg-64446 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?164,64326,64446#msg-64446
Im definitely looking for something ergonomic like @Rodzite suggested, but also i'd like something printable like @jeffkohrman made. If the two designs could be combined, that would be awesome! :) It may not be the most efficient way to light the way while running, but its just something i wanted to try out. A headlamp will probably be my primary lighting source, but the ankle lights should make for a fun item to have in my lighting arsenal. (:D

If anyone else wants to give it a shot?]]> CidVilas Hello. I need a something designed. For money. Thu, 21 Oct 2010 09:14:56 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?164,64326,64349#msg-64349 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?164,64326,64349#msg-64349
But if you just want something to hold a 9V battery, I just threw this together and posted it on Thingiverse.

However I think you should just go get a LED headlamp from a sporting goods store and use that. If you're trying to run by lights on your ankles it will probably drive you nuts.]]> rodzite Hello.
