3D model description

In order to make some Blinking Iris Goggles (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1833286) with LED rings in the eyes, I'll need to supply it with power. Since there are already two strands of fishing line hanging from the goggles (to actuate the blinking), I decided to put a battery holder right on the goggles instead of having a wire going off into a pocket somewhere. I also wanted a way to detect actuation of the blink. I decided the best way to do this was have a small neodymium magnet glued to the rotating part of one of the eyes, and have it come near a reed switch which could be mounted to the battery box. I remixed the Right Eyeball file so it has a magnet holder that will accept a 5mm x 3mm magnet. The one in the video is a 4mm x 2mm.
I made the reed switch holder separately to aid with assembly and to add the ability to print it in a different color. It can be glued on the battery box. I do not have a way to mount a 5v regulator and a digispark, but for now, the battery box and switch holder will be enough to make a prototype.
