In this step by step tutorial, I will show you how to add flashing LEDs to your 3D Printed Darth Vader Chest Panel. Using 555 timers and a breadboard kit it is very easy to upgrade your Darth Vader cosplay suit.

Here are the capacitors and resistors I used in the video, but you can change them to change the speed and frequency of the blinking LED lights.

For 555 timer 1:
Capacitor:
2 - 100uF Capacitors 50V
Resistor 1:
10K ohms
Resistor 2:
10K ohms
Resistor 3:
220 ohms

For 555 timer 2:
Capacitor:
10uF Capacitor 50V
Resistor 1:
100K ohms
Resistor 2:
1M ohms
Resistor 3:
220 ohms

For 555 timer 3:
Capacitor:
2 - 10uF Capacitors 50V
Resistor 1:
1M ohms
Resistor 2:
100K ohms
Resistor 3:
220 ohms

For the sets of 2 LEDs:
330 ohm resistor to the negative of each set
