So check them out. I really like all the kind of blasts from the past type projects. So many. Yeah. I don't feel bad that we don't have a super excellent crazy one this year. We really don't. We have an ear and a I mean, it could kind of be you. New old lantern, I don't know. The magic band one could be used like to open a candy or something. Yeah, you know what? That could totally be remixed to be a Halloween prop. Yeah, yeah. Like in our community. That's actually what the WizKids must be. Yeah, like in our community chat. Like in our community chat, we can be like, hey, if you're trick-treating with your kids, make sure to wear your magic band and they could give you an extra treat. Or you can embed the RFID tag into something and they can like make a hammer or something and then like, I don't know. Anyway, hey, everybody. Good morning, good morning. We're back in the discord chat. We're checking out the banter here. Really good one, Nick. Nick Cry saying that he's literally looking for a 3D printer and the live show comes on. Oh. We're buying a $500 printer so they can print 90 cent buttons for the 2.8 TFT case because we don't sell them anymore. That is the perfect use case for them. Yeah, brackets, buttons. You're going to be printing lots of fun, useful things. Oh yeah, as you see a little bit later on. You'll see, useful can be fun as well. Practically weird is the theme. Good morning, IDs in from Malaysia. Hello, welcome to the show. All right, let's go ahead and, I think that's it, right? Yeah, that's the housekeeping, right? Jump into this week's kind of Halloween-inspired, spooky project? Yeah, it's totally spooky project. So, we have the... We get a couple of requests from Mark Phil and it's always like, quests on. Oh, here's a picture of an idea that we saw, which was a Victorian age lady who was holding her phone and all dressed all fancy with an ear. I don't remember this. I know because we can't find the image anymore. Yeah, we can't find the original poster anymore. Where we got the inspiration from this. So, this is a Ninja Flex ear. It's matched to the color tone of my skin. So, there's a couple of different skin colors. This is using the prosthetic TPE, or TPU, filament from either Ninja Flex or ColorFab. Okay. I think I wanted to show the couple of different... I'm gonna do a wide... Couple of different tones that they have available. Ultra wide. Because these were for prosthetics. This is the TPE, so it does have grip. So, when you have three to print the robotic hands, they are able to grip onto objects. So, a couple of different skin tone colors we have. In stock, we used to have all of them sold out of all of them, except the Almond Peach or the Blush, sorry. While supplies last, folks, they don't make this stuff anymore. At least Color... Ninja Flex doesn't anymore. But you can get it from ColorFab. TPU is the filament. Yeah. So, a couple of different colors and wanted to have that color match to what... A couple of people have made similar projects like this, where it was using silicone, trying to do the synthetic skin matching. And one of the cool things with this is it's actually functional, because it's attached to a popsocket. So you can actually use this for your phone, popsockets, or phone grips in general, pretty popular in terms of having it. It's an easy way to hold your phone. Let's be real here, we all work on our mobile phones. All of our jobs are consistently... Like, you can't do some of your work without it being on mobile, unless you have... You're making a point here. This is work. Like, you go around to any store, whatever. What do they have? They have their iPad or their phone. They're doing all of their... So, why not add some player and some personality to your work phone? Exactly, yeah. So, here's some weirdness. It's just attachment for the popsocket. So, it's cool you have the color matching little base here, so it'll hide away, because I don't think they'll make these in any of the colors to match it. And there are a couple of models where they actually 3D print this whole thing in TPU. You probably could. Yeah, this is cheap enough to just buy them. Right. It's like a couple of bucks. And the adhesion that they actually have, and this is supposed to be swappable, so if you don't have like a magnetic case, you can take these off, you just wash it real quick. Okay, cool. But with the NinjaFlex filament, it adheres very well. So, just watch out for that. Once you do your placement on this, make sure that that's where you want it, because after about a day, it is going to fuse onto there. And we did work on... This is the short hardness on the filament? This is the 85A. Okay, so different TPUs have different short hardnesses. Short hardness is just kind of how soft and grippy it is. Yeah, this is super flexible, super grippy. So, like on surfaces, it will grip on. And sort of a temple, if you print it thin enough, you can make it cling to windows. We've made Lego studded tape using the exact same filament. So it does have very good gripping abilities and the texture on it. I'm good at uses for TPU. Can you switch the camera to the main camera? We're just trying to see all those. Yeah, yeah. To show you the texture that we have on there. So this is using the powder-coated PEI bed and you can sort of get some sort of like skin-type texture. So that's a nice tip for that. And we'll go over the settings that I'm using for this. But yeah, it's a good way to add texture to that. And the extra little bit that we were doing was adding like the sweat beading on there and it looked like real skin. And because it is Ninja Flex, you are able to pierce this. So you have a request from Philly who wanted to make sure that we showed that off by piercing the earlobe with earring. What else can we cover on this? Ninja Flex design case. So you have your cutouts. This one is specifically for the iPhone 14 Pro. We do have all of the past models down to I think like iPhone 6 on our Thingiverse page. So if you have an older phone, you can still get one of our designed cases that would work perfectly on this. You also have the cutouts for the volume and the button, the ports on the bottom here as well. So all that is aligned and updated. And excellent case, if all you want is just a productive case for it. We also have on the same repo for that. I think we showed this off a couple of weeks ago too. Just a simple veranoid pattern one with a cutout for MagSafe or the other MagSafe Popsockets. So those are compatible. If you want to have a permanent solution, bam, right here. Nice creep out for Halloween and beyond. So if we, I guess, go jump into the learn guide for this, super simple. It's really just a placeholder for all the 3D files, the Fusion 360 file, okay. And the 3D printing settings. So just a little overview of what this project is. Some of the comments were like, oh, why would you do this? This is definitely for the creative engineer. If you're working on special effects, if you're working at somewhere where creativity, you need to bottle a flexible ear for whatever Halloween prop or whatever. This is what this is for. This isn't for typical business man type guy thing. Sorry, that's not what Interfrugate is. We're all creative engineers here. He's not a business man type guy. So this is what this is for. This is for the people who have cool creative jobs and need to figure out solutions on how to make guts. Oh, you know, the quick baker, you know. So yeah, this is definitely what this project is. Sorry, business guy. Move on, right? Let's go business guy. So here's all the parts you're gonna need for this. It's pretty much just the Popsocket, the base to cover, the attachment, and then the ear that'll go right on top. Take a look here, some of the Ninja Flex settings that we are always using. So 0.3 initial layer height, so you don't have it fusing to the PEI powder coat to bed. Yeah, it sticks very well to the PEI, so that's kinda nice. No need for a glue stick or any of the sort of extra stuff. Yeah, this works pretty well. It just sticks really well to the powder coated bed. And one thing that I need to put on here is when it's done printing, for removing it. You wanna have it hot, right? You need to make sure that it is still at temperature, which is 50C. Yeah, it reminds me of when you do heat transfer for your shirt, when you do a Creecut shirt design, you wanna do these hot pulls. So the idea is that while it's still warm, you can pull off the film. Yeah, so if you try to pull it while it's cold, it is... Rip the design up. It's gonna rip, it's gonna completely ruin your bed. So make sure that it is hot. Yeah, so you wanna remove your Ninja Flex prints when your bed is still hot. Exactly. So 50C. 50C? Okay. That's what we wrote down to. I need to write that in there so I can copy and paste it. We just normally cover it on the show. Exactly, yeah. So 230C for the extruder, 0.2 to 0.25 millimeter layer height. I use the 0.2 for the case and a 0.25 for the ear. You can kinda see there, it has a low resolution on it. But you know, since you're not standing so close to it and really notice it. Do you still have your retraction settings off or is it something you leave on now? So for the boat ends, definitely have it off for the non, for a direct drive. I think it's like at 0.5. Oh wow. I need to specify that as well. Yeah, I bring it up just cause normally we just turn it off completely. But if you leave it on, I guess, with a direct drive, you have less string and less cleanup. But normally we're like, hey, this thing comes out extra stringy and we clean it up. And that's just the way it is with Ninja Flex prints. You're gonna have some string and they clean up very nice as you saw. Yeah, very nice. I mean, you can kind of like right here. So there's like kind of a little bit of cleanup, but it's not too bad. It always cleans up very well. Yeah, with flush nips, Ninja Flex really easy to clean up cause it's, you can either rip it off or trim it off. And because it's Ninja Flex, you could go in there completely go on the inside of things. Yeah, you can get all the little nooks and crannies of your, the retraction to clean all that up. So that actually makes it very pleasurable cause you can go in there and get heavily, you can still sun right there. Yeah, go in there with like a... Do you really need to? No, not really. I mean, you can, but doing the example here, you can just pull that off, mostly just rip it right off or go in there with... I would trim it, yeah. Flush cutters, cut all that off, get to it with like a tweezer. It's like that hang-nail thing where you like start pulling in your whole stuff. Oh gosh. Yeah. Okay, cool. So there's lots of them there. Okay, yeah. Sorry. I thought there we have... Yeah, we were saying before the peach smoothie still in stock, get it before it's gone. I'll probably get all of them that's, they're free for us. And then the semi-translucent white does excellent with glowing, diffusing, at least. Sure. There's only that. All right, moving on to assembly. Okay. Did anyone have any questions on slicing? Does the heat of bed turn off when the print is done? Yes, it does. So I reheat the bed after it's finished because it does take quite a while for me to notice that it has completed. The case takes about, I wanna say about two hours to print just because we are printing at a slower speed. Oh, it's about 50 millimeters a second for that. All right. Oh, it's fine. It's all over the place. Oh, it's fine. And yeah, just reheat your bed to 50, 50C. And then just gently starting off at the corners and just slowly, slowly peel that off. It should come off pretty easily. All right. Do you wanna go through the assembly real quick? Yep, assembly, it's pretty easy. You're just, actually it's probably one of the, not super hard just because I know where the positioning should be. So just getting that correct so it doesn't fuse on, you know, day later. Just make sure that you're, you know, using your, putting it up to your, to make sure that it's comfortable. After that, we're just using double stick tape to attach it. You can use hot glue, nitto tape, any of the strong- Oh, that's fine. Yeah, it goes on there just fine. You've done hot glue before? You can do hot glue with this as well. What? Yeah, but this is just double stick tape. A lot of the time I think hot glue won't adhere to the silicone. Didn't it talk? Yeah, well it's not, this isn't silicone. Right. That's why. Okay. But for silicone, no, it wouldn't work. Okay. Yeah. Is it special double stick tape that you use? It's in that green spool or reel? No. It's just kind of like, wide. No brand tape. I don't know if anyone should work. Generic no brand tape. That's what I use. So scotch or whatever. Yeah, yeah. Okay. And then it just sticks on just like so, so you can remove it if you want after Halloween is over. Or as some of the comments were saying, change your costume out, have like spock ears or then have highland ears. So definitely good for theming. Moving on. Yeah, that's it. Yeah, you can pierce it. I just use a tweezer to get down in there. Sure. And you can poke all holes and whatever. You can sew into it if you want to sew things. That'd be neat to put sutures on that if they could look a little crazy. And yeah, it's pretty much it. It's just a glorified Vengeflux case with popsocket compatibility with a creepy, weird ear on it. Yeah. Halloween Vengeflux. It's just like your ear, like your wedding ring or something with it. Oh, funny, funny. And of course, the whole bring it back to the, you know, the color matching with the prosthetic filament. It's super cool. Any note about the ear model? Anything? Yeah, you can just search for ear models on a thing of a wrist. I included in there since this was one that was just given away. Okay. I did increase it by, I think it was like a 110%. I just measured my ear. The original model was a little bit smaller than that. So yeah, that's the only cool thing you can do with that measure to your ear or you could skate 3D scan your ear. We have a tutorial on how to edit the mesh for that. I didn't want to go all that when working on other projects. It's supposed to be like a simple one to get out of the door. People could add hair, you know. I thought about that. Yeah, like have add hair on there and like the rest, like your, you know, cause it's sort of by your beard. So sort of continue that down. Like have like, you know, I've seen like, it seems just adding like the hair, like the visual hair and follicles. The follicles for that. Like the costume makers like, oh, you can, you can go all out for that. So again, this is what this type of project is for. Those types of special effects makeup, like, sorry, this is, we have one target. That is exactly what that is for. It's weird for me. Yes, put a nose on there. Yeah, that's the other thing too. It's supposed to inspire you to add whatever body part onto there. Yeah, it is a PG or rated G body parts on there. Funny. No, yeah. I love popsocket because it's very cool. Yeah, I'm a fan. I got this one. I wanted to get the, the other popsocket. Of course, I'm a super fan. I got the Mickey one. I'm going to go in the dark one. Yeah, we're just talking about my accessories. All right. Well, let's keep moving along. 20 minutes in. It's good. That's this week's project. Yeah. Pick up some ninja flex, give it a shot. Some good, useful, practical, creepy stuff. Ninja flex, flexible, thousands of uses. All right. What are we prototyping? All right. Who's up? You up? Whatever you want. What you want? Me? I think this is next week, right? I'll give you a second to breathe because you just talked for 20 minutes straight. So I'll talk and then you can share this one off. Show off. I got a Thor hammer. Yeah, you got a Thor hammer. I just got a video. I got myself an RFID reader from the shop. This is from Wiz. It's called the Wiz kit from Smooth Technologies. It's a really easy way of no code needed for this RFID reader. So I was looking at some inspirational project and I saw a couple of DIY Disney magic band readers. If you're not familiar, these magic bands have NFC slash RFID ships inside them. You use this in order to get access to the Disney parks. You kind of bring it up to this dome that shaped like a Mickey ear and it glows really nice. I'll show it. It looks so cool. Yeah, I'm showing it. I have here a demo of it working and basically it gives you a relay and you can also trigger like five volts. So it's basically a glorified button for triggering neopixels and sound effects. So on the Feather RP2040 running circuit Python, we have some really easy demo code that's just looking for the button pin and when the button is pressed or in this case when the RFID has triggered, it'll play an LED neopixel animation and a wave audio file. So we have a nice amplifier and I2S amps. You have some high quality audio coming out of the speaker and then you can use the RFID module from Smith Technologies allows you to do up to 10. You can program up to 10 different NFC slash RFID devices whether they're the magic band. It also comes with some key chains and that. So this is just the prototype here. It's just I got the code running over the weekend and then we 3D printed a little case for it. I bring it up but it's plugged into the wall. So you got your magic band. This is the animation. So there's a strip of neopilsels inside the 3D printed box and then the RFID reader module and Feather are all down here along with the amp. So we have a couple different magic bands and right now it's doing random choice so it's just kind of randomizing the sound effect. This is a project that I got inspired by. There's a bunch of different ones like on Etsy. I saw Matt Richardson from Raspberry Pi. He's also working on one very similar but all of those use the Raspberry Pi, the whole full-blown Pi and those are hard to get right now. And it's overkill too. It's a little bit overkill for what we're doing so we found out a really easy way to do it with just a Feather RFID2040 and the WizKit RFID module. So that will be like two weeks from now. I'm starting to work on the learn guide and it is really easy to work with the WizKit RFID. So if you ever have anything that you want to trigger a relay or a five-note signal, definitely check out the RFID WizKit from SmoothSignology, it's in stock right now. And let's probably pull it up here. Just type in WizKit and there it is. It's meant for like escape rooms, haunted, kind of decor, that sort of haunted decor. I'm glad you brought that up because it has a relay on it for doing door so it can unlock a door. Yeah, it's a great kit. This is what it comes with, a bunch of NFC RFID stickers and tags. Comes with the 12-volt power supplier. And then on board it has like a button for training. And again, there's no real code that you need to do. It just works out of the box. And then that, this additional button here or cable can be wired up as if it was a button so you can use it in your circuit Python project like I did to trigger NeoPixels. Yeah, it's basically just a button. So if you are looking for something to trigger with NFC or RFID, check this thing out. It's really nice, instant stock. It's a little pricey because it comes with everything and it just kind of does kind of one thing really well. There's some extra pins on the side and there's breakout pins. So if you really want to go in there and like do some I squared C code or something, you could still do that, but I didn't have to because like it just works as a button and we have a learn guide as well. And the folks are really responsive. I was able to get a PCB DXF file from the folks because it wasn't available. So I was able to get that. So I'll be sure to share that with folks if they're okay with it. But yeah, that's what I'm prototyping. A Mickey magic band, Disney magic band reader. They were super popular all over Etsy during the pandemic. Yeah, I think that's when the project came out. There was like, when I first saw it was a Christmas ornament. So I don't know how they got it compact down or maybe it was like the wiring was going through the tree or something like that, but yeah, that's a really cool way to, and again, it's RFID. So like the little ring project we've made like any of those anything you can trade anything that's NFC RFID will can be used here to trigger the thing. Yeah, so we'll definitely show that in the video using different, not just the band, but the ring and like the card Liz mentions that she's gonna try to use her subway card on it. So yeah, you can train, yeah, give that a shot. I just realized the battery is dead on this. I was gonna, as a suggestion show, yeah that you can do like color changes on there. If you bring it up to that, it still works because that's the way NFC works. Yep, exactly. It's pretty cool. But yeah, you can have this like do different color animations and whatnot. So that would be cool if somebody could add that into the code as well. Like when it gets red, randomly does like a different color animation. Yeah. We're not gonna do that. Yeah, Matt Richardson's post, I thought it was really cool that he's able to distinguish between the bands. So like you'll get a red glowing LED if your band isn't set up for the day of the Disney park. Something weird like that. There's something more involved where you're kind of getting the data back from the band. What are you trying to do? Just change the color just to show what it looks like. But the battery's dead. And there's an update for it. So it doesn't want to do anything. It doesn't matter, you can use whatever you want. It's fine. Cool? Cool, yeah. Give us two weeks and we're working on the line. Yep, so two weeks. And the next prototype is this green Thor hammer. Yeah. It's a soil sensor, whipper snapper showing the Stemma soil sensor. Add on to that. And on the inside, the kind of my little lid type that we have on here, it's modeled after, I think it's like our bread lid, the way that it suction's in that way. Got a QDPI, hold on. We got a QDPI 32S2 on here. We're using the passive hub on here to connect a light sensor. And on the back here, the SD30. So we're, SD30, sorry. Some sensor on. So high quality, true, CO2. CO2, humidity, temperature. And then the light sensor on here. The passive hub on here, which I'm probably gonna switch it out for the other hub that is launching later today, I hope. Yeah, the multiplexer one. Yeah, so I can have two of the soil sensors on there. There's a 6,600 milliamp battery on there. That's a massive battery, this is the biggest battery we carry in the storm. But that's why it's so honking, chonking. There is some deep sleep work going on there, so it will last longer than that. But as it goes right now, it'll last about three days, I wanna say. Yeah, case modeled after some like the industrial farming. Yeah, it's meant for like a farm, yeah. This would be like a all in one sensor node, soil sensor node that you stick into the ground of your farm, and it's supposed to be huge. Exactly. So monitoring everything with that. And if you switch over to a flute, whip snapper. Yeah, so you have this running the whip snapper firmware. Yes. And you're using Adafruit IO to log and capture data. So you got yourself, not a dashboard, but in the devices page, this is a new feature to whip snapper. Hope you guys are checking it out. It's really easy to set up a sensor. So if you were, just got your QT Pi set up, click new components, and you'll see all the lovely new I-Squared-C components. Yeah, so this is the soil sensor? This is soil sensor than the SCD-30. This one here? And then the TSL is the light sensor. Oh, you have the light sensor as well. Yeah. TSL-35. I need to add the LC-7, the battery gates. So I know when it's gonna die, I'm gonna have actions telling me, oh, the battery's at 10%, switch it out. All right, let me hit X. So I'm gonna have to. So I'm gonna show you what you actually have connected. So you're pulling in the CO2 PPM from the SCD-30. Yep. Community sensor from the SCD-30. Temperature sensor from the SCD-30. Yeah, so we have two, we have the SCD-30 temperature sensor and then the STEMA soil temperature sensor. It has its own temperature sensor. Why is there two? Actually, if you go to the, this isn't the, this guy here, if you go to the devices and go down to soil sensor. Let's get all the devices we've just been playing with. Woo-hoo. So that's the case. There you go. Did you do some serious testing? Yeah, so here, you can see why we have two different sensor, or temperature sensors on there. But they're different, look at the readings. Yeah, because when this is inside the case, it's gonna be hotter. You're gonna have bias from the QDPI given off heat. And I don't want that, I wanna make sure it's a little bit more accurate to what the plant is actually getting. So that's why I'm using the STEMA soil sensor temperature. Let me see, there's a difference on it. It's actually cooler, yeah, the soil's cooler. Cool, and as an update, just mentioned Fahrenheit was recently added. So you can do Fahrenheit readings. If you go to- Do I see Imperial users? Did my battery die? Oh no, if you go to the cog wheel on the SCD 30. Any of them? Yeah, any of them actually. You can see here, enable C. So you can click on that, and you can have it telling you your temperature in C and in F. Which is something I go to every one minute, just so it immediately updates. And plan, there you go. This is probably what I should be doing so I can start associating, oh, 31 equals 88. Yeah, that's good, yeah. Start learning Celsius. Because it just doesn't work. Meters, millimeters, that immediately sunk into my head for measuring stuff, because I went out every single day. But for plants, I haven't had really to worry about the temperature, because a lot of the plants I've been growing for the past 20 years have all been carnivorous plants. They love hot. They want hot, the- Humid. Hot, humid, swamp. Hot, humid, and frozen underwater. So I didn't ever have to worry about the temperature. Oh my God, is it too cold? It doesn't snow here, so it doesn't matter. But it can get down to 20 degrees, negative zero, as I've seen some pictures were frozen under the lake and stuff. So it's like, okay, they're pretty hardy, but not with aeroids. Okay, so aeroids. They're so picky. No, it can't get below 70. Can't get below 70. The humidity can't get below 50. They're so picky. So I have to make sure that all of the parameters are just perfect for it. I even bought a humidifier to stick outside, because I don't know, the past couple of weeks, it went from like 80, 60 down all the way down to 30. So it's like, oh my God, they are not happy and I could see it in the leaves. So definitely gonna help in terms of alerting me when I need to change things, bring things inside, have the blanket over them so they stay nice and warm. So this definitely helps out tremendously. So any other kind of features or things you wanna work on this or is this ready? I need to add the battery gauge. So the way that this little holder is on there, this is just hanging, because this is not the updated one. So I don't wanna stick it in there. How many of, how many stemma things do you have? Oh, it's gonna be one more. So we got one, two, three. Oh, okay. It's not that many. It just looks like it's way more. Yeah, because the QDP. Any soldering or is this all plug and play? So the only soldering so far has been for this USB-C. Oh, it can power. Yeah, so you can kind of see how I'm, I don't wanna use the BFF just because it'll increase. Oh, mind. It adds more power. 20 millimeters, yeah. It adds like, yeah. No, any time I think it's gonna be 20 millimeters, it ends up being 40 millimeters. So I measured it at 10, that's why I said 20. Okay, you already doubled it. Like I thought this thing would be because things you don't think about. This tall, it's like, oh my God, it's like 20 millimeters on its own. Things you don't think about is like, see how this wire is sticking up. You don't wanna crush this all the way down. Like even the bottom of like the case, if I take this back apart. This is what we travel with every day, clearances. I have like these razor risers so that the battery isn't like, you know, on the screws and the screws are counter sunk in and then these wires to make sure that these don't get pinched. So I have like this, you know, one millimeter rod. There's always so much design stuff inside the case where you don't notice or see any of that. So that's always what takes the most amount of time of figuring out, oh, how can I optimize it? Pinching wires, yeah, exactly. And then like, I think I need to print this out with the flooring for the battery. I think I need to print it out, like with no top and bottom so that the air can actually help get through here. Before I added these ventilation holes, it was reading like the, the SCD. It was getting hot in there. Oh, like 15 degrees hotter, which, you know, I don't want it reflowing. Exactly. So yep, we're gonna another. All right, that'll be next week's project. Another Whipper snapper, a lot of soil sensing. So sensing and the battery gauges and what I'm gonna highlight on that. That's a lot of good sensors all combined together. Yeah. So yep, Thor hammer. So what? Next week. Next week. Ready for that. All right. I need this immediately. Now temperatures are dropping. All right. Dropping. That's what we, oh, prototype. We're getting, we're good. We're, we're working on the documenting. Pitch's got a little bit more updates. Yep. I'm gonna start, I'm just gonna keep chipping away at that. Getting photos. All right, this is a quick shop talk. Bop, bop, bop, bop. So last week we did some cool noodling with the noodles, the LED noodles, the made of fruit and or I think it was Thursday or Friday, came up with a layer by layer on how to design your own noodle shapes. The last noodle I have is the 130 millimeter long noodles. They're the shorter versions. So if you're, what can I do with it? So I figured I'd do a tutorial on how to design a little holder. In this case, it's a little R shape. So I did some letters, we did a heart as well and the letter Z or the letter N, however you look at it. So just kind of walking through the different steps on how to do it in Fusion 360 and thinking about designing it for printing without any supports and very minimal print. So this takes about eight to 10 minutes to print, which is really, really fast. And yeah, same setup. We got our little 220 choke resistor, 220 ohm resistor and this 3.7 volt battery and one of these lovely JST breadboard friendly things with the on off switch that you can turn it on and off. Check out the layer by layer. It's about 20 minutes long, but it really walks you through, you know, how to actually sketch out something that can be parametric, but also, I don't know, parametric. I was doing good and then I just kind of fell. So check it out if you are looking to design your own folders for these LED noodles. I got a nice short, simple recipe to cook the noodles in. So that's somewhat of a shop talk. I think we had some other thing for shop talk or no? Yeah, CAD parts. I always forget every week we add new CAD parts, but because I do it every week it's mundane and I don't have a visual way to show it. So just go to the GitHub. So if you are looking for CAD parts from Adafruit, you can always submit part requests through the Issues tab this week. I have a bunch here, so here are all the commits this week. We added the Metro M4, classic, very, very nice board. We added the MCP9808 Stemma breakout sensor. We added the Neo Slider Stemma breakout. TSC200, it's the I squared C resistive touch controller. We added the LiPo BFF charger. That's for the PewDiePie. It's a really nice one if you really want to do it. I used it in the noodle lantern project. That's why I modeled it. We also have the 24LC32 I squared C EEPROM. We added the Stemma hub. And that's, I think that's all for this week. It spanned off, I think I missed last week, so that's why I have a little bit more. But yeah, check it out. We're keeping track of this and we're trying to close out all the part requests. My version of PRs, part request, not whatever the pull request is called. So shout out to everybody for submitting your part requests and checking it out, yeah. So that's a, I think this week's shop talk. Cat parts, labor layers, that's about it. What do we got, what do you want? Roy is asking, are there any good free mask STLs for the holidays? Oh yeah, there's a bunch. Check out on the blog, you guys. I just posted the link to the search results on the blog. There's a bunch of masks. Oh, there it's all. Masks for days, helmets, masks, horns. All free, well, a lot of them are free. Yeah, a lot of them are free. Daft Punk, like just searching through. Dinosaurs, skulls. Articulating ones, movable jaws, like. There's so many. The one from last week, the Deku. Deku from the Legend of Zelda. Still got it, hanging around. There's so many. I keep a lot of the masks. Daft Punk is a really good line. Mandalorian, Daft Punk helmet right there. We've designed it and added electronics to it. Just go to both Daft Punk helmets. Anytime you're looking. Manuel and Thomas. Yeah, if you're looking for any mask, any three printing stuff, every single Thursday is 3D Thursday on the blog, blog.bedeaford.com. That is where I post every hour. Black Panther, I'm just looking over here. Oh my God, yeah, there's so many. Is it Doom Guy? Dr. Doom. Dr. Doom. Batman. We haven't done Iron Man. Wasp. Wasp helmet, yeah, that's right. Model the Wasp. Just search the blog. That is where I post it. Helmets for days. Every hour. You want helmets? We got helmets. From 1 a.m. til 10 p.m. every, all day. Good shop talk segment. How many helmets do you have? Because it's like, when you want to search for stuff, you know, it could be a little harder on, you know, on Star Wars. Oh, the Star Wars mask. I forgot about that one. Yeah, these are all ones that, like there's proof that it's been printed, that it works. Either from us making a time-lapse video from it or from the, you know, the designer. Photos that didn't happen. Yeah, exactly. It's fun. Like masks once, like Lego. There's so many. Anytime you're looking for any of that, any project-wise type of things, just search the blog because that is basically our encyclopedia of all of the knowledge that we need for, you know, for our work and for, you know, the community. So it's all there. Good stuff. All right, we're ready to community make. Every week we do a time-lapse of a fun model from the community. This week it's this jumping ghost. Super popular one that's gonna make in the rounds right now is the ghost with the little legs, right? That pop up and hide. This one's from Tomo Designs. It's a very nice printed place. There's the two pieces. Two pieces. Two pieces that you put together. It's got this little spring mechanism that's built into the legs. So that makes the ghost jump. So it adds a little bit of movement, a little bit of mechanical funness to an otherwise kind of boring print, but it's very fun. They hit with the kids. So I am lots of backflipping fun. Boom. Yeah, glow-in-the-dark filament. Yes. Very, very fun to work with the staff. I didn't bring the UV light, of course. No, I did not either, but it doesn't matter because we're in the light. So what, did you glue them together? It snaps right in. Snaps fits. Yep. I'm a fan. That's it. Two pieces, snaps in. Tomo Design. It's on cold 3D. I have a link already here. Go ahead and drop that link to the score. It's free. It says it's a free, yeah, it's free. Tomo Design has a bunch of great designs as well. So I'm going to make that bounce. Yeah, a little batwing. Lots of Halloween ideas here on cold 3D. Really like cold 3D. They curate their design, so it's not like some of the other repo sites. Jumpy ghost. So cool. Very fun. Great for the kids. I was going to say, I like it because the kids like it. That's funny. You actually stole it. I actually stole it from you. It hit it. And then you were like, I need this. I still haven't taken photos. And Declan's like, hee hee hee. And I'm like, well, I guess I need to print another one. So you printed another one. But again, really good. I feel like if you're a way to kind of even make some sort of spring. That's what I was going to do. The shape is just a spiral with a little edge cut there. Excellent. And that makes it a great kind of built-in spring. And it's got a lot of mechanical strength. Even though it's PLA and brittle, it's actually pretty good. No, it's very nice. I could probably do this all day. And Roy says, three-year-old would love this. Yes, I tell you from experience, three-year-olds absolutely love this. It's a great design. No supports. The hands are all up. It's a good lesson in geometry for printing. It's all great. Yeah, no supports needed on the inside. You can't even see the seam here for the snap. Oh yeah. It's really good. Would you be able to snap this off? I don't think so. Maybe with a spudger, but not with my hand. Yeah. Neat. Yeah, cool. All right, got a couple other of community makes. Yeah, before we close out the show, let's take a look at the list. These are some makes that were sent to us of some of our various projects. Here is the first one. This was a make posted up by Prusa.com. Prusa user, Cesar14n, posted up their make of the ESP32 S2 Feather TFT Stemlet case. So this was designed by PageWarp, and they printed it out. Looks like they're going to add some electronics to it. The Feather TFT, like, does that look different? No, it's about the same, right? Oh yeah. It's just like the updates to it or anything. The bed leveling is better on theirs. Oh really? You can really see how far away it is online. Oh, I see. See the individual airlines. That's funny. All right, cool. So if you got yourself a Feather ESP32, that's not what it is. It's the filament. It's the, what is it? The dual tone. Yeah. That's why it looks like that. Yeah, it looks a little bit more separated. No comment, but always great to see a photo of it. So, cool. Hope they get their Feather. All right, next up we have another one. This was posted up on Thingiverse. This is a remix of the heat set rig thing. It's a tool that we designed for doing really nice heat set inserts. So, Thingiverse user Elothin posted up their remix. They added a bigger counterweight because it uses a counterweight so they designed their own enclosure for the counterweight, whatever they're using. It says, I had a heavier soldering iron so I needed a bit more space for the counterweights. I made a plastic press fit lid is included. So, that's very nice, you know, remix to the project. Like, I figure people would be doing that. So, very nice. Okay, next up we have another Thingiverse posting. Got a pie girl. This is of the pie girl. It's a remix for the spark. Is it going to the screen? It is now. I wasn't before, so I apologize. But I'm trying to run through it. So, this is a remix posted up by Kopi. Kopi posted this up on Thingiverse. It's a remix of the pie girl case. That's that handheld Raspberry Pi based handheld Gameboy slash girl game version. It's been remixed to work with the Sparkfun LiPo charger booster. So, they updated the standoff so that it fits the Sparkfun thing. And it's printed in red so it matches really well. Very cool. And they just updated the case there. So, very nice. They said, this is the remix of the rear portion of the pie girl. It supports the Sparkfun LiPo charger. Sweet. Cool. Oh, given the supply issues today, I could not get a hold of the power boost. But they had a Sparkfun lane around. That's excellent. Glad you're able to get that modeled up. Maybe some calipers. I don't know if these... Anyway. I was like, can you get 3D models of Sparkfun boards? Maybe. Maybe you can. I don't know. That's not the point. You've shown people how to do a quick test. Yeah, right. All right. And the last one is kind of Holland Weenie. This is another remix. This one's posted up by Panini the Cat. And Panini the Cat made a remix of our D20 and they made it into a D20 handle and play. Remember when we saw someone did this similar? They made it a gavel. Oh, yeah. But this time it's like a different gavel. It's like a little bit different. So it's just comprised of a bunch of D20s. And then the end is like a regular dice. Very, very cute. I want to see that printed. I want to print this. Yeah. Let's read the description. A nice prop for DMing. A D20 gavel and plate has a 1 on one end and a 20 on the other end. So you can easily decide the fate of your party. As requested, a version of the handle made of a D20 and an end cap made for the D6. When this comes out of the printer, the number's going to look a bit sloppy but with some patience. And the nail file should be able to make them look a little bit better. Yeah, all good. Good stuff. And the original project is that talking D20. Oh, look, there's a bunch here. Oh, I like the chain of remixes here. It's like a kit bash. But there's like, you know, where did it dry from? Thing versus a good job doing that. So just printables. But here it just talks to the user to actually track back. That's because it's so the age of it, you know, you can go way more. Yeah, this thing is from 2015. All the way back to 2012. Yeah. For our stuff anyway. Yeah, 2013. They were just stuffing uploaded. They were afraid to account before us. For sure. Yeah, some laser cut stuff. Before 3D printing, it was laser cut stuff. And that concludes this week's community makes. Thank you everybody so much for submitting your makes. Just posting it up on the thing. It's enough for me to find it because I get notified. And that's easy for me because it gets sent to me instead of having to find it. So I appreciate folks doing that. Takes a little bit. All right, that is going to do it for the show. We'll close it out. If anyone has any last moment comments, questions, go ahead and drop them in the Discord. We're hanging out in the Discord chat room. Quickly on the YouTube one. NightCreePaul is asking, wants to make a solo charge. ESP32 case for Laura Relays. But 3D printing might not be weather-resistant. So I'll probably try either. We've got a lot of weather cases. Pet G. Maybe try Pet G or Nylon, see if that'll. Oh, I was thinking to purchase a weatherproof case. Yeah, so that's actually what I'm going to do for the pool temperature project. Yeah. I'm just going to get one of the weatherproof cases that we have. I am using, where's that small one? We have what they called, this one. Coolanty. It's a little bit bigger than that one. It might be in a category. Yeah. Yeah, enclosures. And this has the weather seal. I think it's the large one. One of those, yeah. I'm using one of those. You've got a really large one. This is too big. This is a pie, so this is probably too big. Yeah, probably the smaller one. All right, smaller one is right here. Yeah, just search for enclosure or weatherproof. There's an UNO for scale, but not for scale. That's actually a really nice one. Yeah, it's what I'm using. And it's got the gasket in there. It's all injection molded and see through, so you can see it. You can edit it too. You can drill holes where you need to drill not all the holes. It's devious plastic, I believe. There's also a handy data sheet. It even has a window, yes. So you can actually see the data sheet. I love me a good data sheet. Oh, yes. Perfect. That's so good. I'll be making all the, obviously, the framing, so you can attach all the boards to that. Well, the support for the DS-1B for the temperature sensor, that's being added to Whippersnapper. Oh, it even has dimensions here on the case. Hey. That's actually really cool. Brilliant. I didn't know that. That's super cool. Learn something every day. All right, folks. Any jokes, anything nobody's been against? That's all been very good. It was well-behaved. I really appreciate the good tips and insights. Aw, thank you for your comments, Andy. I'm glad you think it was a great challenge. I'm stumbling here. I know. I didn't even post any of the links for any of the. Every time it's my turn, I never post any links. Because I'm busy talking and showing the thing. Yeah, I'm busy driving. All right. So, yeah, let's close out the show. We have the shows later tonight. Hosted this week by Lamar and Phil, Mr. and Mrs. Ledyada. We invite you to come on tonight at 7.30 PM. You can join in by hitting up the Discord chat room. We'll throw a link in there. Everything's welcome. Arts, crafts, weird. It doesn't have to be practical. It could be fun. But it could also be practical, too. Yeah. Weirdly practical. And then Ask an Engineer is tonight at 8 PM Eastern Time. New products, Ion and PI, some more segments like Top Secret and that sort of thing. That's what reminds me to go to www.agric.com-new and refresh until the show starts. I want this demo multiplex. Stay tuned for 10% off coupon code. You'll get that tonight on Ask an Engineer, only Ask an Engineer. Tomorrow is John Park's workshop. Starts at 4 PM Eastern Time. Tune into John to find out what he's working on. And then Fridays is the deep dive live stream with Tim Fomey Guy. It's on Fridays 2 PM Pacific or 5 PM Eastern. And then on Sundays, we have a live stream from Lady Aida herself from the desk of Lady Aida. On Mondays, we have the Circuit Python meeting that happens live in the Discord chat room. You can be a part of that if you'd like. It's Monday 2 PM Eastern Time. Or if there's a holiday on a Monday, it'll be on Tuesday, like this week, it was on Tuesday, so actually yesterday. You can always check in the archive or podcasts. We have another holiday on Monday, don't we? Next Monday? Kid has no school on Monday, so what's going on on Monday? Is it just teacher planning day? Yeah, we don't know. We have like weird holidays here in Florida. We have like hoedown day and- Rodeo day. Gator day. I'm just kidding, folks. We have rodeo day. I love you here. I can make jokes about Florida if I lie in there. No, we have rodeo day. Literally from Florida. Florida. All right, let's keep going. Tuesdays, it's John. John Park's, I'm proud of the figure of the week. It's every 4 PM Eastern Time or 1 PM Pacific. You can get up to 50% off. Insanity. Insanity. John has lovely thumbnails every week, so check him out just for the thumbnails. And then we do the show every Wednesday, 11 AM Eastern. It's gonna do it for us. Good luck, everybody, with all of your creative endeavors. Hello? Yeah, we gotta, he's got a phone call. Until next week, remember to make a great day. We'll see you guys next week. Bye. The dog.
