 What's up everybody? Welcome back to another 3D Hangouts. My name is Newell West. I'm a designer here at Adafruit. Joining me every week is my brother Pedro. Good morning everybody. I'm Pedro. I was creative tech here at Adafruit. And every week we're here to share three different projects featuring electronics from Adafruit. That's right. And sure we combine 3D printing and DIY electronics to make inspirational projects. Hello everybody hanging out in the Discord chat room. If you'd like to join us throughout the show, you can throw in some questions, comments, what have you in the Discord chat room. My invite code to that is discord.gg slash Adafruit. Take a moment to welcome everybody to the show. Thank you for tuning in. Let's say some shout outs. Good morning everybody hanging out in the Discord. We've got Dexter. We've got Andy Callaway. Dude Wester. We've got BlitzCity. Liz, good morning everybody. Liz in the Hangouts. Mark Dambler. Hi Mark. Good morning. We are hanging out in the Facebooks, on the YouTube chat, and on the Discord. Oh, don't forget Twitch. And I forget the Twitter one. And the LinkedIn link. Cool, well welcome to the show. We have some fun stuff to talk about. We got some prototyping stuff. We got a new project this week. We have some shop talk, community makes, some kind stuff, some LEGO stuff, all this and more on, you guessed it, asking designers. Asking some designers. All right, so I got some housekeeping stuff as we do every show in the mornings. We'll walk through them and get to the show. So first up, want to talk about the new updates to the freebies. Looks like you head on over to Adafruit.com slash free. You can see all the different things that are available for orders that are $99 or more. You get a half size from a proto. For orders that are $149 or more, you'll get that StemAQT breakout board. If you have an account with Adafruit, we'll make sure you don't get the same one twice. For orders that are $200 or more, you'll get the StemAQT breakout, the half size from a proto and free UPS ground shipping for continental US only. And then for orders that are $299 or more, you get the free ground shipping, the StemAQT board, the half size from a proto and a circuit playground, blue fruit, all supplies last. If you want more info on that, just go to Adafruit.com slash free. Okay, next up, we'll take a look at the jobs boards. Let's see if there's any new job listings this week. Pretty much similar from last week. We've got a new position, an audio circuit position contract, remote instructor for summer engineering program. So if anything of that nature sounds interesting to you, go to jobs.adafruit.com. Circuit Patheon meetings happen every Monday at 2 p.m. This week it was on Monday. I think next week we will push it to Tuesday, but we'll see, so stay tuned for that. It happens every 2 p.m. Eastern time on the Discord server. It's a great opportunity to listen in to the Circuit Patheon devs and community and find out what they're working on. AdafruitDaily.com is the place you can subscribe to daily newsletters, our favorite one being the Python on microcontrollers newsletter. You can get your projects featured there by hitting up CSP at Adafruit.com and shout out to everybody who subscribed to that newsletter. And shout outs to Ann and PT for collaborating on the latest issues. These are good issues, not the bad issues. What else do I have? The newsletter once a week is, hey, this isn't that image PT was looking for, woohoo, mysterious image. Adafruit.com slash newsletter is a product focus newsletter. It happens once a week. You can subscribe to that one by heading over to Adafruit.com slash newsletter. Yeah, yeah. All right, I think that's all the housekeeping we have this morning. Yeah, we're ready to jump back into Discord and say hi. Is our audio okay? No, you're good. What I'm like, bugging out about. No, it's freaking Twitter just went down so I can't. Oh wait, no, here it is. Yeah, there's a lot of streams to maintain. Ups and downs. We use restream so that we just post to one place and restream pumps it out to all the other ones. Yeah, cool, let's jump into this week's awesome. Very useful project. This week we're taking a look at the new QT Pi with the ESP32 S2. This little guy now has Whippersnapper support. Whippersnapper is a really easy way to get your IoT projects in Adafruit IO. It's all done through clicking, there's no coding or soldering in this case. So we made a case for this QT Pi. We've been making cases before very particular to projects, but Brent, who's on the Adafruit IO team, asked if we had just a simple generic QT Pi, a case for a QT Pi, so that he could make like IoT projects. So that got me thinking, I should make a generic multi-purpose, multi-functional kind of case for the QT Pi. So we came up with this three piece design. It's got a back cover, a frame, and a top cover. And the interesting about this one is that we added these little vents. They kind of look like vents, but they actually are mounting slots. So the idea is that you can use M25 hardware to attach various PCBs that have mounting holes to these slots. So in this case, we have our very first temperature humidity sensor that has support for Whippersnapper. It's the AHT20 Stemma Temperature and Humidity Sensor. So you just plug this in here with a still Stemma cable that plugs into the back of the QT Pi ESP32. And now you can start logging your temperature and humidity data without having to write any code or sort or anything. You just plugs and plays and you have this nice little case with a bunch of different mounting points. So it has those snap fit bits. You can install your cover here. You can have various different components. So in this cover, I have here a little OLED and this is the OLED that has a Stemma connector on there. And also we have these fun Stemma QT rotary encoders. So it'd be cool to make a little gadget where you can just kind of stick and mount these Stemma QT boards to the cover. So it's kind of a neat way to do it. Now we don't have support for Whippersnapper for any displays or rotary encoders, but I thought it'd be cool to just show kind of how modular you can use these slots. So that's a nice way to kind of showcase different boards mounted either on the top or the inside of the case. Same thing with the bottom here. So you'll notice you have four of these, yeah, four of these slots. And the slots themselves are sized for M3, but you can fit M25 hardware, which is what I'm using here. The majority of the Stemma QT breakout boards use M25 holes. So that's kind of why I have them here. And it's cool that they're M3 slots so that you can kind of slide these around and position them differently if you want. Now I thought it'd be cool to kind of show what's the biggest Stemma QT sensor that we have? And that's this SCD-30. It's a really, really high quality air, a CO2 sensor, air quality sensor. It's pretty huge, but it definitely is able to fit here. So you can see like its slots right there. And it's just barely is able to hit, but all you need is really just these two screws and you can mount it either on the inside or the outside of your little QT pi case. Some other features, I have these tabs on the side and what they can be used for is of course to you can screw this into something so you can attach it to another surface or I guess you can use it for like a strap or zip ties if you want to wrap it around a pole or something else. Pretty, you can use them for all sorts of things. Or you can just kind of hold them on like that. This little guy here is just a little kind of tag, kind of like a price tag thing, a hanger for like a pegboard or something. I got inspired by the Pocket Operator products. They have these, they have bigger tabs, but I thought it'd be fun to make a tab. I thought it was for JP on his- Right, it's also JP inspired it to write for the pegboard thing. So that's kind of a neat thing. I haven't really done that. So if you're going to try to do it, I think I did it up a little bit. Yeah, so let me show you how the QT Pi PCB gets mounted to this. Do you have a USB-C cable? I think I got one around here. Let's use this one. Yeah. So one of the things with this snap fit bit, let me do some focusing. Got to manually focus. How about that, is that better? Yeah, okay. So the idea here is that there are four corners. And you'll notice that these corners have these little ellipse that kind of fit over the PCB. So what that allows you to do is that it gives you a really secure connection. So when I plug this in, it's not really moving too much. It's got a tiny bit of gap, but that's kind of what you need. You kind of need a little bit of gap tolerance so you're not completely putting too much stress on the substrate. But there you get a good look at what it looks like. So plugging it in, plugging in a USB-C cable, you want to make sure that, I wanted to make sure that this was secured and it would not pop out. So it's got a really secure connection. So how do you install it and how do you take it out? It's a really firm connection. So the idea is that there are some reliefs here that's why there's only corners so that you can actually flex this out. So the idea is to put your thumb right underneath where the QT Pi would be and then you use these two fingers here to kind of flex it open. So that's what this one hand is doing. Your other hand is gonna grab onto the USB-C port and then just kind of, as you're applying pressure with your thumb and pulling down on these two with these two fingers, that way you can kind of pop it out like that. And that way you can see kind of how this was working, right? So now I have, did I, there we go. So you want to be careful, hopefully nothing ripped off. I made sure to have enough clearance because it gets pretty tight right here. These little resistors are super important. You won't want those to break off. But you saw there, it didn't break off. Not this time. Not this time. No, the design's pretty good so it won't. That's why there's only such little geometry here to kind of elevate the PCB. And the reason why it's got two steps, like two layers of elevation here is because you have all those components that you have to count for. So the way to install it, you want to start with putting these two corners through the back there. So just fitting in there should fit underneath those little bravers. And let me show you, if you kind of see the geometry there, I'll show you in CAD, but there is a tiny little one millimeter lip and that's what kind of keeps the PCB inside and keeps it from falling out. So let me insert it in again at an angle. Like that. And then we're gonna do the same thing, put our thumb down here, two of these fingers, and then as we press it back, you can click it in. You heard that click there and now it's nicely secured. And it's really important to have those reliefs here and here and why not here and here too, just to give you enough, enough, I guess, geometry to flex this open. Does that make sense? Yeah. So that's kind of how we figured out how to make a nice secure snap fit for the QT-Pies. And this should fit any QT-Pie. It should fit the RP2040 and the CMD21. So those are the three QT-Pies that should work. So yeah, that's how to do it. Focus there. So let me jump into the Fusion 360 stuff and we'll walk through some of the things you can do in CAD if you want to use Fusion 360. All right, so here is... Was one of the settings changed on there? What does it sound like? Some people are saying that it's echoey now. You know what? I don't know. It's in the right setting, so. Just going to have to deal with echoes. Maybe an angle or something. And real quick before we get a nice little look at this, Andy is saying, tiny robot is tiny. Now I cannot unsee this little robot. It's a robot? Play with the focus. He's a little robot. That's great. Faces. All right, continue to talk about that. What we're doing, CAD stuff and echoes. We have CAD stuff and echoes, right? Man, I'm all over the place. Sorry, sorry, sorry. That's not what I wanted to show. Okay, CAD stuff. So in Fusion 360, this is where I designed it. You can, if you have access to Fusion 360, you can modify the user parameters to make it different. So this is all parametric. So we got this little window here called parameters and we can update those. Without having to jump into a sketch, let's say you wanted to update the width and the length of the case to something bigger. Maybe we have a bigger PCB. So I'll make the width 100. I'll hit tab. Fusion will recalculate all the things and now I'll change the length to 100 millimeters as well. So this is a good easy way to kind of make the overall dimension of the case update. You know, see how the three pieces are all updated too. So if you wanna find out how to kind of structure your designs this way, you can use this as a reference and see how I set up the sketches so that everything kind of stretches with it. Here you can kind of see how, as a cross-section, you can see just how much clearance you have for everything. So here I have a little bit of a gap in between all the mating surfaces, like the little snap fit pieces. So you can see just how much clearance you have there. And then we'll do another cross-section. Ah, that seems to be a bug in Fusion. Let me delete that. Make a new cross-section and use this face to see the inside there. So if you find yourself with like tolerances things, you can always adjust the distance between the snap bits on the cover in the bottom cover. So there's about 0.2 millimeters of clearance or 0.1, something like that. But you could change it if you want in the timeline. But that's just a good way to see kind of how much clearance you have between your mating surfaces. Okay, so that is the height or the width and length. What about the height? Well, if we wanna change the height right now, it's at the 24 or 14. Let me change that to 24. So you wanna get something bigger in there and you can see that it changed just fine without anything breaking. This would work if you wanted to add like the SCD4D stemmer sensor, the air quality sensor. If you wanna add that in here, you would have to increase the height because I think it's a little bit, it crashes into the QT pie. So just be aware that you can change that. Let's see some other things that you could change. Let me go back to the original size, whatever it was, I don't remember. There you go. Let's say you wanted to get rid of these things here, these little mounting tabs. How I would do it is I would go to the case, activate that, that way your timeline is nice and isolated. And then what we can do is look for, let's see if we could just click on this. It kinda gives you an idea of what it was. So if I double click on that feature, you can see like, oh, that's the tab. So what I would do is I would right click on that and say, surprise feature. And that just gets rid of all the features that are related to that tab. And you can see here in the timeline, it's been ghosted. So that means that that's how many features it took to create those tabs. But if we don't want them, we could just right click, say, suppress. Now, you'll notice that the tabs are still there, but that's because they're on the part of the bottom cover. So I'm gonna activate the bottom cover, do a similar thing, click on this area, see in my timeline that it is something here, right? Is this what it is? Yeah, if I double click on that extrude feature, you can see like, okay, so it's just a tab and then there's a mirror and a couple other things. So let me right click, suppress feature, and that might get rid of some other things. You can see it got rid of those slots. So let me undo that and then just delete these three things from features from the timeline. I think some of my selections are buggy because I'm running wire cost. But there you go, that's one easy way to get rid of those things. And I have like a little error here, so just double click it and say, okay. And that seems to be okay. Some other things, what is this one? Okay, looks like some of the fillets broke, but you can just reapply those, why not, right? Maybe you don't want those slots there, you can get rid of those too. Another thing I think I have is like the spacing between those slots, I called it vent spacing, so let's say you wanted less of them, you want seven, you'll see that it updates like that. If we do five, if you wanna add more of those vents, but yeah, you can play with those. The wall thickness is something you could play with too. I wouldn't play with that unless you really wanna make it thicker, I wouldn't make it any thinner than it is, but hey, maybe you wanna make it thicker or something. But those are some of the, if you have different nozzle sizes too, you can mess with that. Those are some of the fun, easy ways to modify the case dimensions, remove some features. Have fun with it, there's a lot of, I think, things you could do with it. And yeah, feel free to open it in a different CAD package. Maybe you have open shape, on shape. You can download the step file from our learn guide and use it that way. I did post the link to the A360 link on there. So I'm gonna go ahead and add it to the guide as well, just in case they want to download any other formats that are available. Well, I'm here and talk about the 3D model for the QDPI USB32. It's available as well as a STL or a step file or Fusion 360. It's got all the components that are populated on there, like the buttons, the capacitors, and even the antenna. I've been using Snap EDA, it's a website that's, I believe, a partner with Digikey. A lot of the things that I find on Digikey, they have links to a Snap EDA, which is a nice website that has a bunch of CAD packages for various electronic components, like this antenna. So I didn't have to draw it, and I was very happy about that. So, huge shout out to Snap EDA. I think I also got this thing here. It's a crystal, some sort of special crystal. Yeah, that is my secret Snap EDA. That's my secret. But yeah, it was really fun to convert this into a 3D model. Some of the board, since it's like a four layer board, there was some learning, yeah, with the thickness that I had to do, but hey, it's there and folks can download it now. So yeah, that is the CAD stuff. That's what I wanted to share. I also have a CAD explosion of the case, just to showcase just the show, the demo, how the standoffs are used to attach the STEM aQT breakout to the top cover. Yeah, you can't quite show the bottom flexing with your fingers and all that to show how to install the QT PI, but that's why I did a live demo because you kind of can't do that in CAD. You can't simulate some things, right? Cool, okay. So we had a learn guide. It's a real simple two page learn guide. So if you go to learn.efer.com, you can find a little bit of wordage about it. Links to the ESP32. Thanks to everybody for getting one. Couple cables. I'm glad these are in stock. We sell so many of these cables. It's good to have both sizes on hand. If you got something that's really close proximity, the, what is it, 100 or 50 millimeter long cable? It was really great, but when in doubt, the 100 millimeter long one, it's really good too. Here's one of my favorite pictures of Adabot with a QT PI staring into the star set, the star gazing. Okay. In the 3D printing page, it will, you know, I'll show you the parts that are part of the list. There's only three parts. There's no support material needed. You can use PLA or PETG or whatever you like. Use your preferred PLA settings if you're printing PLA. And there's some links here to download the CAD source to the Fusion 360 thing if you wanna do that, or just download the STLs as a zip. We also have our 3D models of our PCBs on our GitHub repo, so you can get those in various formats. And that's really the whole guide. Really, really short and simple this week. Very, very mini and cute. Yeah, people like, Mark says a neat design quality of for holding the corners. Yeah, yeah. I definitely wanna do a lair-a-lair on that just to show how I use the various features in Fusion to make it. I'll give you an idea here, because I just like Fusion so much. Let me open it again. And I put the playlist where people can subscribe when that comes out. And people are also asking, when will the S2 be back in stock? Brent answered, sign up for the emails to get notified. Nice. I tried logging into the PLM or the Volcano, and I forgot I have not set that up, so I would give you a more better answer, but I can't see the stocks. Yeah. You'll notice here that this is the geometry that the QT pie hides under right there. You can see that this is done with a sweep. So there's 45 degree angles here. That way, it prints without any supports. You can see how this little piece here kind of keeps the PCB away from the bottom surface, and it has accommodation for those components. And yeah, you can see there was some trickery I had to do here for this, I think it's a SOD 323, a diode or something. And I had to make sure that this wall here was pushed in. This is a repeating theme that happens with when we have to redo a case. There's always a little component that gets sent away as you'll see with the prototyping segment. So it's never like designing the same case over and over. It's like a tiny little tweak that prevents it from working with the new boards. Right, so I had to be very, very careful. It's just so packed with so many components. I got lucky that all the QT pies will fit on this geometry here. You'll notice there's also like a drafted angle here. It doesn't go straight up and down. That's so that it has just more material and it can break off because it gets really thin up here, about one and a half millimeters. Yeah, the scale that you're working at here is always, so you've got to print it out physically to see what the size. Because of the case, you kind of have to cut away at this right here, so it's a flat surface. So you can't have that too close. You have to have a little bit of clearance between your surfaces there, 0.2 millimeters is always a safe bet. But that's just a quick insight. I'll show folks how to actually sketch that up and make it so that it'll have sketch constraints so that it'll go to where you want it to go when you modify the dimension, the length of the width, so that'll be a fun thing to look at. Yeah. So stay tuned for that. Just a quick preview. I have the playlist linked so you can subscribe to that. Cool. There's also a nice video on how to turn Eagle CAD files from Lamar or Adafruit into 3D models. That's also a video there you can search for. I recently renamed it, because it was like introduction to library IO that had like nobody searching that. Nobody searching library IO anyway. What is that? Yeah, that was before I knew how to name things. I don't know. All right. Cool. That's a nice project. Nice little universal case. Yeah. Check out Whippersnapper. It was super easy to set it up. I think I still have it open. Yeah, I saw somebody comment saying that they just got their S2, had no idea what they're going to do. Check out Whippersnapper, a super easy way to set everything up. I think you said it took you like a minute from unpackaging it, connecting the sensor and you're up and running. Look at all the boards now. We have the Feather ESP32, Huzzah, the MAG tag, the Pipe Portal, and now the Qtipon ESP32. So here it is. It's getting, if I had it plugged in it would show you the raw values. This is the last values, but yeah, it's really cool. It just starts working right away. You can see a list of all the posts, of all the data that was received. This is the raw temperature sensor, I think, yeah, humidity, so whatever 46 is. I'm not sure what it is, but it's cool that it just works out of the box like that. And you can use the quick start guide for Whippersnapper to install the ESP32. You just look for the UF2 file for your ESP32. You hit reset button twice to get it in the bootloader mode. You just drag and drop it and it automatically works. Uh-oh. Because I just plugged it in. Right, right. It's looking for this. Isn't that cool? It's looking for the 8HT. So let me, this sensor is right now the first supported sensor for Whippersnapper. It's the AHT20. It has a temperature and humidity, and it works really well. Oh, I should have plugged this one in. Yeah, that one is the one you want to plug in. Let me do this again. Yeah. So what happens when you have two Qtipis? Does it know? Does it have like a MAC address or something? I thought it was doing it by like the VID or something. Oh, it's saying it's a new device. Ooh, let me see. It's a new firmware. Actually, isn't this the old one? Uh, maybe. Yeah. But anyway, I updated it. Let me add a new component. Shout out to Brent and Lamar for wanting these 3D assets. And Tyler. And Tyler too. So there it is. Here I'll say I want it every minute. I want it to send and receive every minute. I can name it whatever, but that's the default I squared C address, create component. And hopefully in a minute, we'll get some data. And in the overhead here, we'll take a look at what's cool is with events, you can actually still see the LEDs blinking. So that's really cool. And if you want to use the NeoPixel LED for status indication. That was actually Brent's request. Yeah, he wanted to see the status LED going through the grill. Well, we'll check in and see if the data. Oh, there it is. Right now it is 25, degrees Celsius or something. It's 77 degrees in here. Oh, it's hot. It's so cute and hot. All right, well that's a quick look at the QDPI ESP32 running in Whipper snapper. Huge shout out to Brent and the IO team for making it so damn easy. Like this is going to be great. It's awesome. Yeah. All right, back into the Discord. What's up folks? Let's see, I had some comments. I don't remember what they were. Okay. Those McGan guys are. Oh, okay. Brent said each device is considered unique. Whipper snapper uses a tiny formula involving the ESP32 Mac address to Adafruit IO. Wonderful. That's great. So if you have multiple ESP32s, you won't have this collision confusion. It's cool to see that the I2D square airing being re-raised. We worked pretty hard on that. Yeah, it worked man. I can break things all day. Live demo. Yay. Yeah, and you saw how quick it was to just, oh, let me hook it up again and it starts working. Yeah, that's great. Cool. Well, that's this week's project. More to come, right? Yeah, yep. Just comments, people like the case. Really, really good universal design for all boards. This is all Brent. I just clicked a couple of buttons. It's all Brent's fault. All right, let's go ahead and jump into this week's, what are we prototyping? What are you prototyping? This is so cool. Tell us all about what are you prototyping? Yeah, so this is the Feather TFT. Just updated. It's got the S2 on there. Let's see, the little module on the back and again, just another case. And what's different about this one is the two piece for the top have not had to design something like this before. And the whole reason is because all of the little components around the end here, that the USB, the stem connector, the two little buttons and the JST all have this raised end. So I don't wanna have to print something that had supports on it. So just chop it up and it came out even better than I thought it would. This is slim, this is great. Yeah, nice slim little way to have a Feather. No, no, no, this is my IoT project, don't disconnect it. And the really cool thing I'm excited about is just how I was able to get the stem connector on there nice and flush with the cable. It's a good spot. I really like how Lamar designed it. So it's nice and vertical. It's vertical, it's popped right. So it just pops right in like that. What's the top? I always get these wrong. Yeah, you gotta make sure that the order is correct. It pops right in. So it won't go in the wrong way. Yeah, this is a great display. It's an IPS display. So it's got really good resolution and it's full colored. Yeah, what you wanna show off is the battery. So you got your access to the JST connector for battery and it has a built in voltage indicator. So it's got a circuit for monitoring your battery's voltage, which is really cool. So you can see here, you're a little bit under there. Maybe a little bit more juice. Maybe plug this in, plug in that battery so you can charge the other battery. Yeah, so the thing I wanted to show off too is just the inside of the case, like you were showing before, and you can add screws if you wanted to, but just the little design considerations in geometry had to cut away at the standoffs here in the back because of the module runs right into the smaller standoff holes or the mounting holes. They're actually smaller than what they are up here. So there's always differences in the board when Lamar has to add a new component to it and move stuff around or make it, what is it, four layer board now too. So there's always design considerations in that. So every single time we design something, it is completely different on the inside. May not look it like it on the outside, but there you go. So again, another way to, having designed a two piece top like this, I was gonna glue these two pieces together, but it doesn't need to because we have the snap fit. And the way the snap fit is happening is just a drafted angle with a little lip here. So it has a, when you extrude it out, it has a five degree taper on it. And same thing with the end piece there, and that's it. The other thing I wanna try to add to this is having the built in little button pushers so you can still access your boot and your restart. So that's the next thing I'm working on. But as you can tell, working with such a tiny little scale is a, definitely getting to the limits of what the size of the nozzle can print. So may work, may not, I'm gonna try it. At least I'll have holes in there so you can poke it with a tweezer or something. So nice little simple feather S2 case. And just in case it gets hot, I'll have that exposed. I was surprised how hot it was when I was doing the video. I was like, ah, this is hot to the touch. Yeah. So be careful with your fingertips. So we'll have access to that. And if you guys need any mounting holes, I'll probably add that as well, or I don't know, maybe like the Lego connectors. If you guys need any of that. So yeah, open to ideas on however you guys are gonna try to mount this. I think the other thing too is probably making a thicker version so you can have the battery included. Yeah, I would add the inside. Maybe, mounting tabs, cause. Or it could be separate. Yeah, so huge shout out again to Brent who just posted up that this feather TFT now has support for whipper snapper. It actually has the HT20 temperature humidity sensor right built right into the feather. Where is the sensor on the back? You might need to expose it. I'm just now realizing. It's one of these guys. Right, right Brent. It now has support. Somewhere around here, right? Yeah, yeah, Brent said it. Something. Well, you still gotta make the, the CAD. It was written in. So you gotta design the feather CAD for this. So once you get that, I'll look at where the footprint for that is. You're right. Cut it out. Okay, but there is a sensor on there. No doubt. I thought there was. Yeah. So it says it on the product page. There's a blog post. Right. Brent. Catney just finished the guide. So it's in moderation. That should be out. Hopefully this afternoon. Okay. That was a blog post. Maybe it was like a to do. Here it is. Here's the blog post. Brent, here we go. Yeah, the A-H-T right there. And the LEDs that you can play with. Sweet. So you can turn it on and off. All right. Trigger, add triggers. All right, so buttons and sensor cutouts is what's next in this little case. And we'll release this next week. Yeah, next time. Yeah, we're doing simple little cases and focusing on super new PCBs here. But yeah, this is great. This is a blog post here. I'm just showing it again. River snapper. Sweet. Oh, thank you, Sid. Saying very helpful info. Keep up the good work. Yay. Thank you. Cool, cool. All right, I think that's what we're prototyping. That's what we're prototyping. Yeah, we'll share more stuff. Otherwise, I'll be here all day, right? Okay, shop talk. All right, so. Over the break. We decided it's time for a new printer, huh? Yeah, so we did some screen cleaning, got rid of some of the printers that were, you know, always having errors and whatnot or they showing their age. I think the Ultimaker and the Flash Forge. We donated two of the ones that we don't use a lot, the Inventor 2 and the Ultimaker 3A. So we gave this to a couple of folks around here and they have a student who's in school and they had to pay for using their 3D printer. So we figured, hey, just take it and they're really great for it. Yeah, it's a really good friend. They're a cast member here. So they gave us lots of really cool Disney access. We're like, hey. So it's always good to give back. But you're probably wondering, so what printer did we get? Well, we have a lot of good experience with our... Well, the community has spoken on what type of printers are online. It's all the... I mean, a lot of them... You scroll through Twitter and you see everybody has like an Ender or something from Creolty. It's like our revealing your next child. What did we get? No, I mean, I already posted this a couple of days ago. It's the Creolty... I didn't really say anything about it. It's the Creolty 10S Pro V2. There it is. It comes packaged very well. We bought it from Tiny Machines. The three groups. Yeah, Tiny Machines, they are out here in the States. They get these machines. They test them. They QA them. They write firmware. They make custom parts and they upgrade these. So we got this one fully decked out. You got it fully decked out. So I have a link in the show notes. When you buy a printer for them, there is so many customization options that they give you. Like you were saying, they CNC their own parts. They fix things that come in from overseas to make sure that... No, there's a bunch of stuff on the inside. So this one has the Nocta fans already installed. So it's so quiet. We have the BodTech direct drive extruder on there. I didn't get fancy with any of the slice or the, what is it, Magnum extruder? I have no idea. The Ruby Diamond tip. I didn't get any of this stock tips because as I've seen, we go through those like candy. But it's got the BLT touch. It's got a nice flex plate, double-sided, how to code it PEI. And one of the most important things too, they're custom firmware on there. So it has all of the overheat protection. It has the first run-out center. It is so flat, it's the flattest, like leveling that I've ever seen on any of the printers that we have. And of course, we have this Raspberry Pi case to do the octoprint setup. So it's how we're communicating, sending files over and controlling all of the motors on it. There's a special 3D printed case for the Pi camera that just kind of snaps onto one of the motors on the side. It's kind of the best way to get the camera view and monitor it that way. But that's a quick look at our 3D printing room. How many crealties do we have now? Four. Yeah, I think we're on for four. And yeah, it just packs really good, all the customization on there. If you want to go to their website, you can see all of the different, it's almost daunting if you've never done any 3D printing of all of the different, lots of options and nozzles and the bed and the fans and the motherboards and all that. It's a lot. Cool. Well, what did you print on it? That right here. Yeah, I printed the case, the octoprint, or I'm sorry, the Pi case that you see there, which we had to do some updated on the guide. For some reason, the download links were deleted. So I added those back in. This was designed by you, man. A Ticker card maybe five years ago. No, one, two, three, D, which became, I guess Ticker card and Fusion. Yeah, one, two, three, D was an Autodesk product back in like 2013 to 2015. It was killed and it just was absorbed into. It was in between, it was like a baby version of Fusion 360 really. It really was Fusion 360, but like just like gutted down to just like its essential features. But in any manner, the file was missing. So we got it back up and we updated it so that it works with the latest pies because there was some geometry issues on the case where your SD card would get stuck. But if you like a Pi case that's that fits and has a face on it, there you go. Yeah, a lot of folks have printed this. So I'm glad to see it's still not dead after all this time. The Pi B plus might be dead, but yeah, some of the updates I did on it was just doing a little cutaway for the SD card so you don't have to take it out or insert it back in when you need to remove the Pi board for whatever reason like connecting a camera cable or something or the power on there. Yeah, here it's funny. You can actually take one, two, three, DX files and import them into Fusion because it's pretty much a step file. And there's no timeline because it wasn't a thing back then. So it's not parametric or anything, but you can come in here and modify a radius or something. I don't know what the hell I'm doing. Yeah, you can push this back. You can push this back and do things like that. Yeah, face case. You get the joke. Okay. So when I was asking what printer we use, I just posted the link there directly to the... It's the Bowden, right? Or direct? No, it's a direct drive. No, no, no. It's a real nice Ninja Flex. Ninja Flex and like even the higher temperature filaments too. So, all that should be good to go. I'm pulling up the page here just to take a look at the corner again. I just posted it in the Discord as well, but here you go. You start off with just the basic one and that is gonna be the Bowden. So if you go on the hot end and extruder updates, you can click on the drop box there. I just did the stock one. You can get like the microswiss, the copperhead. Yeah, I know. I was looking at this going on. I don't know what these are. I love the name microswiss all metal hot end. Yeah, that's what you can get all those. That sounds badass. And all the nozzles. I want the noctua fan. Definitely get that. Cause when you have roomful printers or even if it's just one, you don't want one. Water resistant? Aware resistant. Yeah, I didn't get any of those. Okay. And then of course your flex plate. They're out of double-sided. Oh no. We bought the last one. You can pick your cue. You can pick what for the menu one. I really wish I had ordered during their sales cause we would have saved like 200 bucks. Oh that's crazy. They sell enclosures too. Yeah, yeah. So if you're doing ABS or any other. Our room is the enclosure. Yeah, unfortunately. It's air control. Yeah. But what was the time from placing the order to receive the printer? I think four days. These guys are in Texas. Did you pay extra for? No. It's just taxes. Okay, it's good to know. Here in the States folks. You know, tiny machines 3D. So cool. And they're all, they have the, you know, open source. Firmware. Firmware and it's all on GitHub. So you can check out all their code and all that. Wonderful. All right. That's what we'll talk. Anything else you wanted for your job talk? I think that's it. The pie case, you got that. Yeah. That was the main pivot you wanted to talk about. It was pretty much to show that. Oh yeah, and that pie cam holder if anybody wants to, that's right below there. One down. This is where we're a really nice case. Yeah, it is. Loading, loading, loading. It's something over a minute. It says it's for the ender, but it has like the same sort of monitor or motor, motor setup. It's a great vendor. And it comes with the, Yeah, it literally just clicks into the little stuffer motor there. Yeah. The one that I was using before was way over engineered. Like all these little tiny pieces that would become all. I know about what we're engineering. It has its own supports and stuff. You have to reorient the part. You gotta reorient it. Okay. Not a problem. Cool. Lots of people have made it. Look at that. No, it is fantastic. It is a really good one. You just need a nut and a M3 screw. Oh, you do. Okay. Oh, for the hinge there. But otherwise you probably want to get a nice long pie ribbon cable. And you know where you can get a pie ribbon cable folks? Do we have them in stock? I actually got the one meter one that I got was too long. So I'm going to need something that's like, what's the next, what's the step down from the one meter? Sometimes I can't search. My search don't work. I think I typed in like pie camera cable. Is that on the second page? I think it's pie cable ribbon cable. Paul Currie says the face case is super cute. Thanks. I can print a couple of those. Yes. There it is. So what's one down from the one meter? 300. I like, we like the one meter one. What's the drop down one? Cause I'm guessing those are in order. Yeah, so maybe a 600 one. You think one meter's too long? Yeah, it's too long. That's funny. So about two of those. They're pretty good priced. You get a really long one, two meters. If you've got something crazy. Yeah, that's too crazy. But yeah, Adafra has really nice black cables. I know, we used to have all white ones. Those look way better. They look way better. Oh, here's the ones we used to have. The white ones. It says we last purchased this in 2015. Oh. All right. Well, cool. I was searching to do it. The community makes, I guess. All right, community makes. Every week we find a fun 3D print. We print it this week. Lego. This one's all cute. I think it was a PT or a Marv? Yeah, an HP Biz, who does a bunch of great builds with Lego stuff. Put this one together. It's a free download. And it's on Prusa printers, which is great to see. So there are various diameters for different fingers. There's two studs. And they're so cute. Those are all the different diameters. And here's a little video that we put together. Printed in different colors, using some translucent PLA. Again, by HP Biz. So freaking cool. Excellent for all the kids. Little stocking stuffers, or birthday kids at heart. Yeah. Yeah. It was so cool. The only thing on the side is that I didn't use the wireless LEDs on there. Oh, that would be cool. It could have been like a little Thanos, but yeah, this worked great with the single studded little mini figs. Or... Single studded. That's funny. Super cute little... Look at Adabot. Did the folks know about Adabot? We did this Lego compatible Adabot figure a couple years ago. And we used a .2 nozzle. So that's how detailed it is. Yeah, like... It puts in place joints. Fantastic. It's dual extruded as well. Yep. Super fancy shit. I know, they haven't broken off. We printed like maybe four of them. And I think two of them still survived, but we've had a few of them wear out. They're all like the arms and the hands all come off. Like... Definitely checking out. .2 nozzle folks. Crazy. So any hoodle? You got a bunch of little single stud accessories like our little BB-8 here from Star Wars. I like the moon one, of course. The little moon guy from our Saturn V rocket build. And yeah, he did a really good job. He worked out really well, huh? Yeah, all of the... It's nice and smooth, so we should be able to fit your fattest finger. I'd love to see folks with the resin printer print it out. You'll get some phenomenal quality. We have yet to jump back into the resin printer craze. Because we were there in the beginning and it was stinky and awful. It smelled really bad. Yeah, sorry. It was just brutally honest. Let's go. All right, yeah. This is an excellent weight. I've had this idea for a while, but I'm super happy that he got this out. Well, you're making an Olympic ring. All right. The Olympics. Let's go. Check it out. Yeah, very, very cool. I'll go back to the page. And look at this excellent photography. He's got the kid in there, too, wearing it. Yeah, they look fantastic. I like the matte colors. And follow HPBiz, too, on all the social. Oh, God, yeah. Oh, we post X and X on designs. Yeah, these are really great. I love how folks are using prism printers and posting mates and stuff. That's so many. This is really cool how they do their mates. They kind of collage it here. What? Oh, wow. There you go, Pidgey for you. Your favorite. Oh, I wonder if they actually ripped out the RFID and stuck it in there. It actually unlocks. Oh, shh, that would be nuts. That is a good idea. That's a wrist cave. Oh, that is cool. It's collageable together. Wow. Ah, I love the little diamonds. Why didn't I think of that? What happens with Lego, like, I don't know. Never mind. What are you going to do, Lego? I mean, you're promoting our stuff. We're mad. Yeah, are you going to be mad at us, Lego? Sorry. We have beef with, like, no, we don't. I miss Lego building. All right, cool. Continue on to the community makes. Where's the Lego cop? There's no Lego cop. I could have called it a brick ring to avoid them beating them. Hi, buddy. Good cop, bad cop. That's what Lego is. They're good and then they're bad. Are these new? The LED hourglass? Yeah, those are new. Gee, I'm being really cheeky. I'm so sorry. All right, so let's continue on with the show. I apologize for whatever I did. Next up is a really cool hourglass. So Shadows of Folks for posting makes on the places. This one was posted up on PrusaPrenters by Investigate. Is there a username? It's a make of our LED hourglass. We 3D printed an hourglass with these two LED matrices. I think it uses a feather or something. Very, very cool build. Yeah, it's a feather. Very neat. It's got an accelerometer built into that feather. I think it's the feather sense. We have two versions of it as well. One using smaller LED matrices and one using bigger LED matrices. Check out the Learn Guide code. It's all available. Open source, shout out for Investigate for posting their make. It looks really great. I love that texture. You can tell when they have a textured build just by looking at that first layer here. Very, very, very sweet. Good choice of LED colors as well. I like that flare on there. Yeah, that's very cool. All right, next we have a heat press rig, right? I named this wrong. The copyright. But let's look at this one anyway. So Spray Belly on Thingiverse posted up their make of this 2.9 e-ink feather wing. It's just a little stand that Prince of the Units supports. And it's for the feather wing that has an e-ink display. So it looks really nice to see. So I took the design and split the body with the width at the midpoint and split the height of the midpoint. I'm opening it at the length, height it so that it would work for a larger display. Oh, cool. OK, so it's kind of a bit of a remix. Yeah, it's a remix for this bigger 2.9. Oh, I sure would. Very cool. Great, so folks want that. And you can always find it through the remix section of that. OK, cool. I thought it was different. All right. And that was Spray Belly on Thingiverse. OK. Another Prince of Printers make. This is the heat press insert rig. So what the filament posted up their remix of the clamp that holds the soldering iron. I see a lot of people making their own because there's just so many sizes that you kind of, that's the one piece that you want to customize and mix yourself because it's going to fit your hardware. So this is a cool little kind of hardware that kind of latches it in and clamps it without having to worry about too much on tolerances. As long as you have some sort of mechanism that can tighten and loosen it, you're looking pretty good. I love that color scheme. Look at that. It's going to say. The whole scheme looks really nice. So if you are finding yourself needing to just do a lot of heat set inserts and they have to be perpendicular, every time, you definitely want to consider making a rig. It's just a piece of 10 to 20 extrusion. Lots of screws and some 3D printed parts. You can get your own soldering iron. Really happy about this build. Anytime I need to heat set, it's such a pleasure to use something that just works and it's really smooth and all that stuff. So should shut out to what the filament for making their own. Yeah. I mean, if it's just one thread that you need to insert, you want to make sure that it's nice and straight. Yeah. The reason why I made it is because like I had this big part and I ruined the whole part because they just when I pulled it out, when I pulled up, it pulled it out and it completely ruined the whole. So my whole part was ruined and you're looking at like 10 hours of fail. It's heartbreaking. So that's when you spend 10 hours or 10 days engineering a flipping tool. All right, is there more? Yes, I think two more. Yeah, we got a Nefertiti. This is crazy. So let's take a look at this. This is a crazy good paint job. Whoa, of Nefertiti. But take a look at the model. Like Nefertiti did not have all of this. It's like the rest of the bust. I think so. So Enigma Prime posted this up. It looks like it was resin printed, right? Maybe not. I don't see any layer lines. But I think I see the support zits, right? We're like investigating like your geologists here, Egyptologists. I know that I think that was a tree support right there. I think so. Yeah, but the I've never seen Nefertiti's bottom half completely remade. I like the nuts, the jewelry that was added. This is a background. What's the story behind that? Really cool. How freaking cool. Yeah, I love the colors too. Really nice. So Nefertiti bust was the original thing. We hollered it out using mesh mixer and folks have just made all sorts of fun remixes. So it's good to see someone adding to the geometry. Like, look at that, it's fantastic. Oh, cool. Very, very cool. And that is by Enigma Prime. All right, one last one here. This one here posted up. I make lively. Thank you make lively for sharing this in multiple places too. So thank you for tagging. It's cool when folks know who the designers because a lot of the time we don't credit ourselves in our posts, we're just a greater fruit when we walk away. But anyway, make lively, share this with us. It's their build of a lab shaker. This is a device used in labs to just shake something up. So in this case, they're trying to get some salvent, maybe some acetone or something to clean up these little pieces here and these little metal things. We used it to agitate our PVA prints. We started playing around with a lot of PVA support material and you really have to agitate it in warm water. So we designed this little lab shaker using a cricket, Adafruit cricket feather, or maybe it was a circuit playground, and a DC motor, just a regular toy motor, and a little potentiometer to control the speed. And it works really well. And it has a lot of uses for it. So if you ever need to agitate anything, that's yay small, yay big, it's a good little thing. You can, folks have remixed it too, so you don't even need like a cricket. You could just use a nine volt battery and a DC motor. Folks have done that. So it's really cool to see. This was printed on the Krill T Ender III. Works great. Spent most of the time trying to reroute the wires inside so the snap fit would hold. It's never not wanting to reprint hardly handy because all the electronic parts from the past project we're sitting around, so not so much use anymore. Okay. Very nice. So much use anymore. Very cool. And that is this week's community makes. Thanks everybody for sharing their makes with us. I'm going to end the show now. All right, let's close it out. Yes, any other last comments and stuff? Let us know. If not, we invite you to come on Show and Tell tonight, which is back to back shows tonight. The return of Lamar and Phil, hosting the show in Tell. Hope to see you there. It's every Wednesday at 7.30 p.m. Eastern time. And then Ask an Engineer shortly follows after at 8 p.m. Eastern time. Not Gandhi, you got a Callaway's comment. Support this for the movers and the shakers and the maker verse. That's funny. E. Okay. And then tomorrow. Tomorrow's JP's workshop. Every Thursday at 4 p.m. Eastern time. Deep sides of Scott's on Friday at 2 p.m. Pacific time or 5 p.m. Eastern time. We do the show every Wednesday. Lamar does her show on Sundays from the desk with Lady Aida. Mondays, district five on meetings. Tuesdays is JP's product pick of the week. This week it was a relay. Yeah. It was a relay Stemma. I think it was relay Stemma. Never get to do live. For the 50% off, yeah. Yeah. I'm excited. And then the show. We will rename one day. The 3D printing show. I think it was gonna be the way in Pedro show. I don't know if you guys got ideas for a new show name, theme, all that. Cause everybody has like a, they have their name and type. Like JP's got John, you know, John's workshop and then we have Deep Ties with Scott and we used to have like from Tony's desk and Lady Aida at her desk. So we need our name in it somehow. I mean it's kind of in there. Three Hangouts in the one Pedro, but. The way in Pedro show. The Hangouts was supposed to reference Google Hangouts. The way we used to do the streaming. Yeah, that was the only way to stream it. And this was before YouTube had streaming. And Yash, always a history lesson. All right, that's gonna be it for the show. Forget to tune in late at night. Thank you everybody for tuning in. We hope you're inspired and good luck with all your maker endeavors. But until next time, remember to make a great day. See you later tonight. Later folks. Yay.
