I think you've got that layer by layer as well. I've got a layer by layer. That's right. That's the shelf talk. Community makes. I think that's it. Yeah. Let's go ahead and jump into the show. A couple more shout outs before we start. Charles Metaforce hanging out five, six zeros, joining in over by In Brazil. We have Marcello. Hello. Good morning. All right. Let's go ahead and jump into this week's very utilitarian, but still fun project, of course, with Lego. So PT had a really good idea. This is really cool app that allows you to take your spare mobile phone. In this case, it's an iPhone and turn it into a webcam because we all know how horrible any built-in webcam on a laptop is or even the little Logitech's getting something that is pretty high quality that has really good autofocus abilities and the colors and all that stuff is going to run you, you know, might as well get like a little digital camera at that point. But if you already have a spare phone or when you're doing broadcasting, you're not going to need your phone as much. Go ahead and use that as one of the broadcasting cameras. So of course, naturally, we're going to have to add the adapters, make them a Lego compatible. So this is what's pulling all the weight here. It's this little two by three studded, or actually no tubes, right? Is that the name of it? The tubes? Sure, it comes tubes. Studs are the things on top. Yeah, these guys. So they click right in there. And here's the secret sauce having the three eighths to quarter twenty adapter. This adapter is used widely in cameras and it allows you to take something like a twenty to twenty adapter and add your camera tripod like so so you can attach your phone onto this and have a really high quality camera. And this is actually what we're using right now. Yay. Look at this. Little mini. Look at the focusing. You don't have to go into the camera settings mess around and be like, oh no, it stopped working. So we're using the camo app. We'll take a look at that. But right now we just want to highlight the hardware and the 3D printed bit. Exactly. So tell me about the 3D printed bit. What makes it different than this one? Which one? Our previous ones. We've done the previous project where we, it's a webcam cover, right? It covers your webcam that's built into the display like a laptop or Mac in this case. So you thought it would be good to kind of make it so you're not blocking the sensors. There's a bunch of sensors now on all these new laptops and we wanted to refigure it so that the shape doesn't obstruct the sensors on a laptop or desktop. That is. So that's the different shape here. So you notice these two are different shapes and you kind of want to make it a different shape and profile to kind of fit your bezel. So yeah, tell me more about the design. That is the problem that we're solving here with having a little cut out that is over the notch and not just the MacBooks have the notch, we had to get a PC recently to make sure that some of the projects that we're working on actually work without us having to jump through hoops and you know, in solo Xcode and all that crazy stuff just works natively on Windows and they have the exact same problem with the notch going on that would be covered by our older design and one of the other things too that we did was, you know, slimmed it down, optimized it to make sure that while it had been nice and sturdy isn't you're going to fall apart on you when you put all the weight of a camera and a tripod and all that stuff on there. So yeah, it's the little cutaway and the new part that we've made, which I thought we had released with past projects, but apparently we did not. This is the new edition. It's a little brick that lets you attach the three fourths to quarter twenty. So of course, all these are in the shop. She can build any of these yourself. So we have the threaded, right, the threaded geometry goes right into the brick that allows you to easily put that in here and these have these nice little flat headed screws using just the back of a tweezer here. How is it to go in there? Really nice. And then the other bits are, of course, going to be the twenty to twenty bits here. And we've used these quite a lot of projects to connect two different parts together. Two different female ones. We also have the swelva ball head as well. So this guy right here, not the actual phone holder. So we should actually probably start looking for really good ones to stock. And this is the one we have in the shop. Nice and sturdy. Should be able to hold the weight even of, you know, one of the larger, like, max. It wouldn't go over a pound for something like this little head. Yeah. One of the things I like to is you're able to adjust the angle, but also the little thread here. So if you mount this and it's in the way of your Lego, you know, you can move it to somewhere else while still having the adjustability of having this little angler here. So let's see what else I can talk about. This guy here, pretty much it. Yeah. Just simple project to PLA prints. Yeah. We'll talk about some slice settings and support material and how to customize it. Yeah. And I guess one of the other heroes, too, is the app that allows you to give us such a high quality stream for all this. Yeah. I guess you want to talk about the app. Do you want to go to LearnGuide? Let's go jump into the LearnGuide. All right. Thank you for telling me what to do. All right. So if you head on over to learn.edu.com, see all the latest guides that were added this week, and you'll be able to find the Lego phone holder guide. So the overview page just walks you through the project, what it is, what you'd want one, and here's a look at some of the hardware. All of the stuff is in stock here. So the camera tripod three eighths to quarter 20 screw adapter. Those are great. The quarter 20 to quarter 20 screw adapter and the swivel and the swivel head pan tilt shoe mount adapter is also available in all in stock. So, you know, it's great to use metal parts, folks, where you can, especially with something like a camera has like a little bit of weight to it. We really recommend getting when you're going to take it on and off over and over and over again, I'm a fan of heat set inserts. But in this case, this is a great way to kind of do it. And you can 3D print three eighths threads very nicely with just kind of your regular point to layer height. And the reason why this isn't a quarter 20 thread is because over time it's going to wear out and you're more likely to keep this inside. You're more likely to keep this threaded insert inside. And what you're constantly taking off is the camera or the holder itself. So that's why we really recommend getting a metal hardware for things that are going to be used and taken out multiple times. So that exact question was just asked in the chat room from 5.6.0. They're asking if it was a threaded insert. No, it is all modeled in there. You can adjust the threading if you have some tolerance settings for your printer. So this is just an iPhone mini. So unfortunately, we don't have like the macro lens on there. A lot better than the webcam. And you can see there, hands pretty well. There are support materials that I had to turn on just for the roof here. But other than that, it prints out really good. One of the other things that we'll mention, just because we're already talking about it, we'll see it in the printing guide. The only thing that I had to do for settings wise was print at 150 microns or 0.5 for the resolution, just so we can have that like silky 0.15. Yeah, 0.15. So yeah, so it's nice and silky when you attach the studs together. Yeah, and it's like very, very secure in there. Like so secure, I'm always going to pop off one of the studs. But you kind of want it to be nice and secure when you have a phone on your laptop. Or just a. Yeah, yeah, we're both cool. Yeah, TV or whatever. Whatever monitor or whatever. Cool. All right, cool. So yeah, model threads is. Is is a good tip here. OK, heading over to the slicing. Parts. So you have some so you have the Fusion 360 files. You can, of course, edit the thickness. If you have a laptop that has a thicker bezel or display, you want to add this onto your monitor or a shelf or anything like that. You can go ahead and grab those files for that. But we have STL files for the MacBook and the Dell PC that I got. The sizes are there listed. The MacBook is about five millimeters thick. Then the PC that we have is seven point three millimeters thick. And that is accounting for the little gaskets that they have on the lids of the monitor. Down here, usual PLA settings. Of course, everybody's probably going to say that printed in nylon. Not a bad idea to have some of that's a little bit more. Pet G is good to Pet G. Yes, Pet G. And yeah, just a point one five for the layer height. 150 microns. The infills and have to be so so dense since it is just like a couple of roofs for the the solid part of the plate. And then you are going to need supports just because of the way that it overhangs. It's so much in a jump. That's what that looks like there, all underneath here. Yeah, it's it's not it's since it's the surface. It's going to touch your bezel. You're not going to see it. So yeah, yeah, it's not the best. And if you want to avoid supports, you could always cut it in half. I mean, you're going to. Yeah, I guess you could if you cut it right here. If you thicken up the base. Sure. Yeah. Here that that is possible. But yeah, all all it's kind of just tips. If you want to do it a little bit different, it's fine with supports. Yeah, supports are fine. I'm just saying. Yeah, my brain's like, hey, if you cut that in half, I'm not in support. The usual support settings that I like for this is the extrusion with for the support is actually smaller than what the actual the width is for the actual part that we're printing. So in this case, it's a point two. So you make it nice and thin so it's easy to remove. And then the Z height have that spaced out a little bit, depending on how good your tolerance is for your printer is. And then for this one, you definitely want to have the interface and the roof supports enabled. That'll just give it a nicer finish for the top. The bed build plate adhesion type, you want to make sure that it is brim because of these two little little feet here. Yeah, go ahead and jump over. Yeah. So I tried printing it with just a skirt and these would always get knocked off, even if I had the Z hop enabled. They would always get just thrown off bed. So you want to make sure that the brim is big enough so it's unifying with the brim from the back plate here and then all of support so that it has a nice adhesion. So even if it does get knocked over, it looks like it did happen a couple of times right here. It's not going to fly off the bed. Yeah, aesthetically, this looks great. They look like feet for furniture. But if you didn't worry about that, you just want to extend this whole thing out. Yeah, you could. This is the sensors right here. There's nothing over here. So on the PC, there are there are sensors on this side and two on this side. So that's why I didn't do that. I'm glad I asked because that every design decision is dictated by my constraints and reason. So that's why you did it that way. Yeah, I'm going to get it. Yep. And then to have a nice a bit of supports on it, you have this giant fillet on the sides here and then on the back part here. So you have a very nice, sturdy, geometric, you know, connection where everything's all attached together. Fillet there. The arc here makes it look like furniture. But yeah, all things to consider when you're designing a thing. So that's that's one thing. Yep. Two things. What else? Let's see. Since this is a pretty quick project trying to abstract as much info as we can out of it. We're good there. We can look at the other learn guide. I guess. Oh, yeah, yeah, yes. So people, your last word, we get the minifig. They're going to learn guide. You'll see all our projects. What I'm here is the webcam cover. So we showed it off a little bit, but this was to cover your webcam. This one doesn't cover your webcam. Like it's sort of the point of it. So it is a little Lego minifig that you can 3D print. My gosh, look at him there. That's all the parts. I know it's so adorable and seeing how tiny those little parts are. Go there. We won't reiterate all the steps you got to do. It's a definitely want to print out 100 microns for this one. There's there's a nice maybe a half an hour tutorial on how to make it parametric so you can build your Lego studs and build your design so that it's scalable. Whether you want more studs or just a bigger base plate. This is a good story to check out for just their basics of parametric Lego parts. And it definitely applies to the model for this one as well. If you go into the sketches in the side, the Fusion 360 file, if you adjust the the gap opening here, the entire model will update with it. The only thing I didn't do was create the patterns that will create the the additional studs. It's a hard-coded quantity when you're doing rectangular patterns. Yeah, change it up. Yeah, super easy sense. The spacing is pretty dead on. It's a eight millimeters. It's an eight by eight millimeter square. So whatever that square is, you just draw another eight by eight on there. And yeah, the spacing is eight millimeters. The diameter of the studs is four point nine millimeters. The height of the stuff is one point nine millimeters. I know all this because I know there's so much. It's always a Lego project multiple times a year. So all those numbers stick in your head. I do, yeah. The chart is like breaks down. That's not a bad idea, actually. So, yeah, I think that's pretty much it. A nice little simple project. Of course, the whole main hero here. I forgot to say, if you wanted to whiten the base, like, yeah, I could print it. I'm like, hey, Pedro, just add this on top. Oh, yeah, that's right. You can't. Lego's ABS is stronger and like there's a bajillion sizes of the Lego, so the fact that you can just put a bigger base on top is pretty rad. I mean, that's the whole damn point, right? Yeah, and of course, you can, after you get all that done, it's going to be, you know, what creatively can you... Yeah, you're actually using this on your actual laptop. Yeah, yeah. So when I got the new MacBook with the notch on it, I couldn't use any of these. So really cool that Phil wanted one that didn't obstruct any of the sensors on there. So and then that obviously gave me a chance to go and release this model. The actual bit there. And yeah, it's going to be up to you on creatively adding these since, you know, when you're at work, typing away, it's always cool to be able to glance up and look at whatever cool little mini-fig design you've got on top of your computer. Huge fan of designing Lego parts and adapting it with existing Lego parts. Yeah, yeah. It's going to stay in your changeable laptop on top of a laptop. That's that's very nice. The old 1990s laptop. Mm-hmm. It's thick, chunky. Should make a little 3D printed cover to go over and then put the nano figurine on top. That's to, that's to, was it intersection, interception? Interception, inception. Inception. Inception of your interception. All right. We've got some cool gifts here on on the Discord. Shout out to Yanni always coming through with these great gifts. We do. We have a little R2-D2 in the CTO and we have a little horse when you get to the port. But yeah, Lego time, Lego in the evening. When you have a 3D printer, you can 3D print a Lego in a time. Sorry. Let me go into the chat room, put all the links to these. Well, we, I guess, queue up the, what are we prototyping? Yeah, there's a twofer. So you get two different prototypes. We're on a theme here with miniature cuteness. So to go with our kind of couch. We can have a watch and TV. So this is our one of our new Adafruit displays. It's the one point four seven one point four seven TFT. It's an IPS display. It's really nice. Let me plug it in. I need a cable. Actually, no, let me just plug the battery in. So this is all all press fit for the face. So if you don't want to have a TV, you can just pop this off and add in like something like, you know, one of the Steve Dex. I actually didn't design this one for that screen. But that is how these little feet on there. Yeah, so it's a little bit weird and scaling of it. So we wanted to make a nice enclosure that really matched the aspect ratio and just the thing. Yeah, I didn't add the slide switch in there yet because I want to. So it's running off of a feather RP2040 a couple of weeks ago. We were using a circuit python. Yeah, I know. So the cable we're going to use circuit python to do some sprite sheet animations is one of our favorite things to do. Lamar did an update to the to an animated GIF library in Arduino. So we're able to use both Arduino and circuit python to do this project. Circuit python using its USB flash drive mass storage capabilities to store the gifts and then Arduino to do the speediness of, you know, C code and it can play the frame rate, not too bad on a gift. So these are regular gifts. They haven't been converted to H files or sprite sheets. They're just standard gifts that tend to play really well here. So I want to go ahead and highlight that point that you just said. Don't have to make a sprite sheet. So before when we wanted to make a little animated display, we had to break down each frame into a very long. So it's having a strip. Yeah, just cool. It's a really cool way to do it in circuit python, especially if you're doing like games and stuff. But for this one, we just wanted to be able to toss it. The ability of the ease of just throwing in a regular gift and then quickly displaying it on there. It's a really neat way and it's fast. Like it's really, really fast. So shout out to Lamar and the folks that were worked on the animated gift library. Yeah. Yeah. So the inspiration came from was a tweet where they were playing, like I think it was a combination of that Simpsons, Raspberry Pi, powered little TV, Simpsons, Raspberry Pi. Yeah, like played all the episode for that. And then a small switch ornament. That's where this little guy comes in. So both of these screens, brand new sizes and the roundness of them. We wanted to. This one does not. Oh, you're right. Right. So it's just this one. But they're both brand new screens that were just put in not too long ago, but wanted to highlight their APS displays. Yeah, really good viewing angles. They look better. They'll look better when I remove the protective coatings, but because I'm still prototyping, I don't want to remove those and scratch them just yet. We're waiting for the Queen of England to come so we can. I'm waiting for the the film, the video to start being recorded so I can remove those because I'll get it on video shots. And Mars, can you shoot because you have the protectors? You were like, whoops, man, because you're so used to it. Yeah. So yeah. And then OK, so we went off track there. So the rails, the little tiny pendant ornament was the other design inspiration. Not horrible, more for your Lego with the dioramas. Yes. So this is the 4.7 screen size. 4.9. There you go. 4.9. Side screen. Kind of widescreen. So it works good for this game. Here's a JP. Why did JP get it in there? JP just thought it was a blitz. That's what he was saying. We need to update that with Lars doing that sort of the Badgers. A Lars gift. And this is something we found. So again, pointing out how fast that Arduino was able to spit these GIFs out and see how good the frame rate is on this, especially with this little depth scene here in Breath of the Wild. You can really see how good it is. It's just 320 by 170. It looks fantastic because the IPS display just makes it look great. Yeah. The only thing that stinks about having the different sizes, because this one is a 320 by 172, is that you do have to manually scale the canvas size to work on this. And then one of the other bugs that we found, which is why we got the PC, is that when it tries to read an invisible file, that Macs just love to create. You open a file, there's a ton of files that it creates in there. Invisibility. Yeah, there is. Terminal tricks you can do. Or not there yet. Windows. Just drag and drop. Windows just works. You can grab any of the GIFs. So what are these next week? This is next week. Next week? Yeah, almost done. Both running off of the RP2040 Feather, which is available. It's kind of an available chip right now. That is what she wanted to highlight. Originally, these were going to be all for the M4s, but kind of hard to get the Samdies. So shout out to Resipi. Yeah. The RP20 is great. Great. Good. We're using Phil Hauer's Arduino core for the RP2040. Yeah, so check out the learn guides. Yep. We'll take a look at all of them. We're setting up your Feather Arduino for the RP2040. This is what the other one's going to look like when I'm done filming all the stuff. You've got the slide switch in there. That lets you recharge the battery and turn off the circuit. Then the mounting plate on here for attaching the Feather to the screen. It's going to have a nice little circuit sandwich to have everything nice and compact. It's also important to note that all the Feathers, all eight or three Feathers, have built-in LiPo charging over USB, so you can always recharge that battery over USB. So you can kind of see here it is recharging. It is yellow LED. Then everything is snap fit. And then I think we mentioned this last week the faces are interchangeable. So, you know, if Nintendo switches in your thing, you can put on a little steam deck. So, what do you tell there? Pink Feathers are in stock. All supplies last. Lovely, lovely board. Lots of GPIOs. Lots of features. Width stands. Dropping. Has a built-in Neopixel. And that lovely semiconductor there. Our favorite Feather right now. Because it's the only one you can get. Plus it's just that great anyway. You can swap between Serger Python and Arduino. Or you can use both of them at the same time. Like we have been. One can use this flashed origin. The playback. The playback. Yeah, so... It's sort of a ying and yang. That you're going to have both those on there. So cool. A little bit of a juggling. Ying and yang. You have to flash. Every time you want to get back into the hard drive. The pilot takes like a minute. But come on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then we're going to glance in over at the... Yeah, any comments on the gift stuff? Can you use the threaded insert in wood too? Yeah, you could. Could you? Yeah. I have a screw tap. Get yourself a screw tap. A quarter, twenty and a three-eighths screw tap. I have done that. Works really well. Yeah. So much easier to use wood. Comment from 560 saying that it loves the console-style TV idea for that screen. Yeah, it's fun. I forgot to show off the little... Our VCR. The little VCR. I got to print out the antenna next for that, but yeah. Here's your little TV. So cute. Room TV. Yeah, great for your diorama or whatever you're doing. Yeah. Your Lego build or something to be fun. New dollhouse build. Yeah, Lego build. Yeah. Cool for that. So yeah, we'll go over these next week. Yay, yep. Next week. Next week. Next week. Alright. Cooler. Ah, yeah. John and Doom. Yeah, not cool. I should put up the original GIF in there. Uh-huh. Well, yeah. Do my thing or do you want to post tweets? What do you want to do? Alright, let me post links to all this stuff here. Oh, yeah, yeah. I got another putter type. This one is super cool. Yeah, so we got ourselves some mirrored film. And it's some see-through mirrors. So we thought, you know, a lot of Raspberry Pi smart mirrors are really fun and cool to build. But we made like a really, really small one for your desktop. So this one's using the Adafruit Pi portal. That's the IoT display. I'll just look here for now. Direct my attention here. So yeah, it's a 3D printed case with a piece of acrylic that I cut. And then I applied this film. So this film is special. It's a mirrored film. But you're able to see through it when you have light shine through. So that's how you're able to get this kind of effect. So the idea is to do sort of an update to the weather station code so that it's portrait mode. Because normally the Pi portal is a landscape. So we're doing this portrait mode. And right now it's pulling the Adafruit quotes using the Adafruit IO API. And yeah, that's the kind of thing right now. We have some port openings here for micro USB and SD card slot. And we also have the ambient light sensor here. So you'll be able to kind of wave your hand and turn it on and off. But yeah, kind of a neat thing. It'll be powered by a USB cable because it's supposed to be on your desk. And then we have this kind of funky arm. And it's supposed to resemble like a mirror that you would use. So yeah, kind of a neat, simple, but neat effect. Like I've seen the smart mirrors and that's cool. They're normally big. So we've been seeing smaller ones on some of the websites. So I got inspired to do that too. I should have to BT for bringing that to my attention. But you can swipe. You can articulate it. It almost looks like an R2D2. The arms of the R2D2. Yeah, no need for slides for true things. Oh yeah, we got a reset button here. There's a reset button. That's what it looks like. It's just a regular mirror. But it's fun to see a terminal come up there and say, what is going on with this mirror? And interestingly enough, the Pi portals are in stock. I just put the link in there. M4 with the ESP32 kind of co-processor. And there's a camera looking at you. There's a nice quote from Isaac Newton. So yeah, smart mini mirror. A lot of mini stuff going on. Maybe I should have used the Pi portal pint. Which is the smaller. But I think there's more of the Pi portal classes in stock. Better shoes. Tintana. Cool. So that is, we'll be, I think, in some time in June. Because we're at the NMA. So probably the second we could June. So we'll look out for that one. Oh my god. That's an expert time. So do a quick shop talk. If you want to tweak that. We're about to promote some level areas. Yeah, so recently I created some new 3D models. So let's go ahead and go to the Adafruit CAD parts. GitHub repository. I can add a link. Someday, somewhere, somehow. Oh, I can add that. Yeah. Safari is just really checking me out right now. It's like, where's the stuff? Oh boy. I can't. Safari's like never been there before. So I don't know how to get to it. I think it's Adafruit under Safari CAD. There it is. Parts. Thank you Safari for remembering. So if we go to commit. So you can see the latest parts that were added. We have a lot of parts. I won't name all of them. But feel free to make part requests using our issues tab. I've been going through there and just making a bunch of them. So I've reached out to all the people that submitted those. And I just post the link to the part. So if you are looking for part, shout out. Yeah, you're the parts. So with that, I came up with a layer by layer that shows you how to generate headers for various PCBs. So in this case, it's a 2 by 20 GPIO header. But the interesting thing is that this header is a surface mount header. So a profile header. You've probably seen these in some of Adafruit's Raspberry Pi bonnets. So as a part of Fusion 360's electronics Eagle CAD integration, they have a built-in package generator that allows you to create a bunch of different parts for PCBs to make 3D models of your PCBs. So this one, in this tutorial, I just kind of walk through some of the things to look out for when you're generating these style of headers. But also as a way to say, hey, there's a lot of new templates for generating. And I've been starting to use those more and more. And I thought this one was a really kind of universal one. It's always good to model your headers to ensure that your enclosures and everything has good tolerances and good spacing and clearances. So check that one out. There's a nice 10-minute refresher on how to use the package generator, Fusion 360. And don't forget the CAD parts. There's lots of CAD parts in there. And I'll be adding more as the time progresses. Cool. Where's Discord? Let's see. Quick question. I owe 20, oh, about this little VCR. Yeah. I'm not printing the part. It's just a little filament that goes inside there is what these little holes are sized for. Yes. You just use 175 filament to go in there and then just bend how the antenna wires are usually bent. So that's how that works there. Cool. And then Andy Calaway was suggesting using a couple of pins. That's a good idea too. That's a good idea. The header pins. Yeah. Or an LED upside down. Just stick it in there. Boop. An LED just stick it in there. That would work. Let's see it post the link to the layer by layer, the whole playlist there, and then the screen links for that by portal and the 147 and the, oh my god, why do I keep forgetting the other bigger one before? 9. 4.9. 4.9. Excellent. All right. Are you folks ready for community mix? Let's see. Rufus is asking 3D enclosure for John's private pick of the week. That was the iPod scroller. Yeah. That's a great point. Didn't Liz make one? She did. So if you want an enclosure to house, and there's a model for it. Wait, I haven't released it yet because I still got to make the thing. I'm working on it. I had an issue, a part request, and I will. There already is one. I'm getting on it. Give me a second. Give me a day or two. No, that's a good point. Is this it right here? The BLE scroller? Right, yeah. Check out the one I was made. I'm posting the link right here. Yeah. Yeah. So here's the nice enclosure. It turns it into a BLE controller, a JD controller, so you can use it to control music, play games. It's very, very cool. And it uses the feather, an RF52840. Yeah. I think the model has it in there too. So you can pull it out of there. Give me a moment because it's very particular with the pin sizes. I have to model the top bit. I have the PCP generator because Fusion generates it for you out of Eagle. But then actually creating the bit there is something I haven't done yet. There is a technical sheet for it, and we have a learn guide and all that. So you can check that out if you want to do the heavy lifting of modeling out the piece here. But yeah, they have a pretty decent data sheet. Let's take a look at it. If you just want to print out the one that Liz has, though, there's the link there. You can quickly just print that one out. Yeah, you can just print that out if you just want a feather in the scroll wheel. This is what I'm going to have to do. It looks, what do you call it, intimidating. Because there's a lot of data and a lot of very specific pin placements. Maybe somebody's already done a cat. I'll do some little bit of research and see if anyone's catted this one up yet. But if not, I'll go ahead and make it a couple hours, maybe an hour. But yeah, check it out. What are we on? Community makes? Let's jump over to community makes. Cool. All right, community makes. This week, 3D printing something from the community. This week. Retro inspired RGB, VGA cables. These cables, I remember them being kind of the standard display monitor cable. For a while. For a while throughout all of the 90s. So it's just a bit of a viral thing that happened on social media. Some folks saw that this was an actual injection molded add-on for USB-C cables. They weren't being sold or something happened. So the community put it on themselves to model it and multiple folks have modeled them. So Peter, you printed a few of them and you came up with this model particularly that you really like. So you picked this one as the 3D Tuesdays time lapse. Yeah, so this is a two part design. Nice little shell that should be able to house any of your USB-C cable. So take a look at the inside here. It's just a little cut out so you can insert that in there. It has a nice little press fit. I did see other models where this little bit here does actually turn and you can add a screw on there. It'll come out the side there. Unfortunately the geometry, we'll take a look at what a lot of them look like is not the best. Your mileage may vary. Yeah, but this one turned out worked with a bunch of the cables that we already have. I like that it just press fits. Like I didn't have to glue anything together. Yeah, it's cool. I like when it's a snug press fit. Yeah, so kind of neat. If you're nostalgic for it, I don't really care for VGA. I don't think people do. They just think it's funny. So yeah, one of the things that they did like about this is how it does have that. That's very tactical. Well that too, but the one that has the working thumb screws, you can actually make it attached to something. So that was what they really liked about it having a really secure cable that's being secured with screws. But if you just want to have it for looks. A CRT monitor with the VGA cable. And this does work with a variety of the cables that we have here like in the shop and stuff. This one is just a USB to micro. USB-C to micro-V. USB-C to micro-V. Yeah, I gotta be very specific on these. Sure do. So many. So let's take a look at the design. This one was by Jesse Banks on Thingiverse. He was user B5. Print. B5? Yep. But yeah, Jesse is their name. And there's some photos of the make of the model printed out in that very bright blue color. This right here showcases I guess some of the other models had some geometry issues. Maybe some flip normals or whatever. Yeah. That can translate into bad G code tool paths. So that's why I think Jesse kind of remodeled it. But yeah, it's a nice no supports print. Two halves. Marriage. Not even marriage. Just print this twice, right? A little bit deceiving there what you see in the time lapse there because it doesn't look as interesting when you print something flat. So I'm printing it vertically in the time lapse. Oh, I didn't notice. Yeah, so no the actual orientation is flat on the bed like that. Sorry. I sometimes have to do that just because it doesn't look interesting at all when you do the time lapse. Like a lot of the things that were sent as suggestions doesn't work because of, you know, it doesn't look interesting at all. You heard it here folks. Camera magic is a real thing. You gotta make it look pretty. Movie magic. Yeah. Well anyway, that's how you print that flat like that. Yep. Quick. The original design had dimensions that did not fit my use piece of cable. That was the thing I ran into. It had tiny attachments to the rest of the model that would break easily. Yeah. The model was a mess on the inside with the weird features causing the print artifacts on the first layer. Yeah. There you go. So you wanna check it out. There's some other versions of it. It's been remixed from this one. So we might as well bring up the original one by Verde Fabbro. Dead giveaway that it might not have worked there since there's no pictures of the actual print. Hmm. I see. All right. So if you wanna 3D print one of these VGA, two dads. Nostalgia. There's a little funny comment over on the, where am I, the Twitch McGruffin saying this reminds me of when Arduino still needed RS232 cables to program. It's a nice little retro callback to the old days. Yep. It's a Pica like mini TFT TV and the Gruffin loves the mirror project. Yeah. Super cool. And then Liz is saying that, yep, you sent over the fusion model of it. So it's almost done. I know. It's halfway there. Almost done. Yeah. Which was able to use the PCB. The mounting holes is the most important part. Yeah. Yeah. I just need to make the, you don't have to make the thing, but I really want to make the top squarely bit. Yeah. Even if it's just like a basic model. I mean it's good for, you know, figuring out the height of. The height and the clearances. The clearances. Depending on what you're doing. Yeah. Yeah. Cool. Hello to Make Tech from Australia. Hello. Welcome to the show. All right. So that's this week's community make. The time lapse anyway. We have two makes that were sent to us. So let's run through this really quick. We're doing good on time. So feel free to add stuff and comments folks while you got us here. But we'll see you tonight again. All right. So this one is a make of the Raspberry Pi enclosure for the use with a HQ Pi camera. Rozo posted this up with their make says decided to print this out, but wanted to make a fan version of the back cover. So I could hold my 25 millimeter Raspberry Pi fan and connect the GPIO header pins. Very cool. And it's got a good kind of rig here. Raspberry Pi camera project. Yeah. Back there. It's nice. Yeah. It's a good kind of case to kind of build on top of two if you want to remix and add on pieces to it. Most of it snap fits, but it also has a lot of hardware nylon hardware and standoffs for securing to the various pieces. But cool. Yeah. Looks good. And thank you Rozo for posting it up. All right. Next up. Last one here this week. I remember those LED signs over here. No might not posted up their make and rated it says cool print and they printed out the lightning bolt. Yeah. So check it out. Yeah. That's my favorite one too. Kind of. I got one with the lightning bolts. Kind of the first one I made. Looks good with the animation on it. Yeah. That's the one behind us right there. I kind of want to trim that excess there because I didn't use the full length because it's just the shape of it. But yeah. I kind of want to reshape a little bit. Cool. And that is this week's community makes. Thank you everybody for posting your mix. John over the note. I think that's it for the show. Yeah. How about it? Cool. Well thank you everybody for joining us. We hope we invite you to come on show and tell tonight. I think it's going to be hosted by Lamar and Phil or perhaps me and Pedro or maybe even JP and Liz. We don't know. It's a surprise. It's a surprise. We don't even know. Sometimes we were like five minutes before we're going to go all right we're going to host and then it turns out well we're not hosting but hey we love hosting and it's fun to do so. We invite you to come and share your stuff with us. We'd love to kind of see what you're working on. Retro gear is fun. Work spaces. It's been once we had a nice tour of a workspace or something. But all is fair and we hope to see you all there. Right after that's going to be Ask an Engineer at 8 p.m. That's right. Full hour Lamar Phil looking at all the cool new products coming out behind the scenes and what's going on in business. 10% discount with a special code. Don't forget available on Ask an Engineer. Yeah. And then tomorrow. Manana. Do you have off? Do you have off? Do you have off? Check out with JP every Thursday at 4 p.m. Eastern time. And then on Fridays we've got a deep dive with the Tim. Foamy guy. Scott might return at some point but right now we've got Tim every Friday at 2 p.m. Pacific or 5 p.m. Eastern time. Let's take a look at the rest of the shows. On Sundays. Evenings. You can tune in to from the desk of Lady Aida where she's got some top secret stuff which she's working on. And the great search with DigiKey. Great segment. On Mondays we have the Circuit Python chat with the community and the Circuit Python devs. It happens every Monday at 2 p.m. Eastern time with the exception of U.S. And next week is a holiday on the Mondays. I think it'll happen on the following day. On Tuesday. So just a programming note. Next week it'll be on Tuesday. Good thing I remembered. All right. And then on Tuesdays is JP's product pick of the week. This week was the Anno scroll wheel. Which is like a $5 thing. So you got like 50% off or whatever it was. You're kidding. Yeah it was like that. So it was 2 bucks? Oh okay. It was 5 bucks width. It was only $9. Okay. So it was like $5. No I thought it was 5 bucks originally. Yeah it would be like 250. Yeah it would be like 250. Too fitty. Yeah so crazy deals with JP. That's why he has crazy thumbnails. That was the same. The only other place you can get a discount. So definitely tune in live. Yeah tune in live. And sometimes you can sell out within the first minute. So get on it. Every Tuesday at 4 p.m. Eastern time or 1 p.m. Pacific. And then on Wednesdays we've got the three hangouts. Asking engineer. And show and tell. Alright cool. Real quick question by MakeTech. Asking if we've checked out Slicer inside of Fusion 360. I have not. I have not either. I know they do have a Slicer. Yeah they have some neat things. So that's a good thing. I should check it out. Yeah it'll be on the list of things to check out. I gotta check out Cura. And I gotta check out Fusion. 5.0. Cura is pretty speedy. There is a, if anybody uses like Wacom tablets. I think it should be fine with like third party. There's nobody except you. I don't know. It's like oh man. Who uses the Waco? Are you a graphics designer? I don't know. It's like what are you with? It's like people who do 3D sculpting. You're like oh man I used it to like check my emails and do like basic things. No I used it in CAD. I know. It's like all sculptors. You also use it for just everything. It's just ergonomically it works for you. Yeah it's just my carpal tunnel. Your carpal tunnel. And then the questionnaire. Probably just direct that to the chat room. Unless you guys can answer this. Suggestions for cheap, simple LED audio inductor. To go between the guitar pedal. That is a good question for Ask Engineer. Quarter mono cable. This is Ask a Designer. Right now we're asking for a designer. But yeah see that question for Ask Engineer. I think Lamar would have fun with that one. Cool. I think that's it. Alright well thank you everybody so much for joining us. We hope you're inspired and you are doing the thing you want to do. Alright. With that, good luck with all your maker endeavors. Yes. Stay safe out there folks. Until next time. Make a great day. Bye everybody.
