Maybe we'll take a look at the discord and see if anybody has some fun memes, any gifts, gifs, shifes. That's all very posting. We got Kermit. Yeah. Kermit Defrog. Is it easy being green? It's not easy being green. Never was. Never will be. All right. Let's go ahead and jump into this week's awesome project. Printing. Yeah. So this week we have some 3D printed accessories for these headphones. These are Apple Airpods Max. These are some really high quality headphones. And this was an idea that PT had and thought it'd be really cool to make some 3D printed accessories for our headphones. So we have quite an assortment of stuff. Where do I start? I guess I'll start with the design of these headphones. They have this very cool printed mesh. And so what we wanted to do, what PT thought it'd be cool to do, is 3D print some covers for this canopy. They call it the canopy. It's a knitted mesh. It's very, very nice. But if you break it or if you rip it or if it gets dirty, that could be kind of sad. So one of the things folks have figured out is to, not 3D print, but to make some silicone kind of base covers that can fit into the canopy to kind of keep it nice and protected. So we came up with a couple of different designs. Here you have just the airfruit logo. This is printed in Ninja Flex. It's TPU filament. So it's flexible filament. But this filament, unlike regular Ninja Flex, they have a new kind of type called Cheetah Ninja Flex. And this allows you to print faster and print better. And you still get that super flexible stuff, but it's just not as elastic. So it doesn't stretch. It's not stretchy. It's not stretchy and it's not grippy. And it's not grippy. Yeah. So it's a little bit more kind of smooth and less grippy, but very, very flexible. So for making something that is going to be printed flat on your bed, but then can bend in all the degrees, this is a great product that showcases. You can print something flat and then conform and mold it into whatever shape. Because making this shape in CAD would have been a little bit more difficult and then printing it kind of up ways like that would have been fairly difficult. So this is one of the designs that we came up with. Let's make a little cover, figure out the dimensions and then add some branding to it. So we did that. And then the second thing, well, there's many things, but one of the other cool ideas was to let's add some Lego compatible studs to it. So here we have a four by 16 stud layout. And here we have some Lego dots. Lego dots are a collection of single tile Lego bits, very, very colorful and they come in different shapes. So you can make all sorts of fun, different patterns like these very mosaic tile style. So I'm jumping up ahead, but yeah, these are the bands. And we figure, okay, Lego's cool, Adafruit logo's cool. How about some cosplay elements like some horns? So NinjaFlex is really, really great for printing horns because if you have horns that are printed in hard PLA, they can stab you. They can get a little bit hard. These are very soft, very safe and very floppy and flexible, but they're still rigid and they still maintain their shape. When you print these out, you'll want to print them with zero infill and you're just printing the shells and the parameters here and these came out really, really fantastic. It's a little bit of cleanup. As always with NinjaFlex, the retraction can be of an issue, but this cleans up very, very nicely. So there is a pair of headphones of horns. We have a unicorn horn. I am a fan of unicorn horns. We figured let's make one with a unicorn horn. That's where you have two circles that twist and they form into each other. It's also printed with zero infill. So you get this really nice flexible thing that can be crushed and folded and it just pops up and it's all good. Yeah, and this prints without any support material. So does this one. They just print very nicely flat on the bed, plenty of surface area to 3D print on the bed of your printer. So we got those horns and then some cat ears and this is printed in a different color. NinjaFlex cheetah comes in different colors. We got ourselves this bowl of pink, a spool of green. Of course we have the black, but we also have yellow too. So these are cat ears and the cat ears are really, really fun, very, very soft and rounded. They are a little bit more harder than the horns, but that's just because of the geometry and then these fit into the canopy of the Apple AirPods Max headphones like that. So they can protect, they stay in place, they're still floppy, you can flop them if you like and they look super adorable. So there are your cat ears, very cat ear-like and they easily pop them out just by doing that. Just take them off if you want. But they stay in place pretty good too, so I'm a fan of an easy assembly. Do you want to look at the unicorn horn? This one, same thing, just press fit it and this is great because it doesn't damage the mesh at all and this sort of area here has a silicone grip to it so it's able to stay in there nicely. Yeah, it's still comfortable, it's still very flexible there, under there, so there's nothing harming it. So that's what the unicorn horn looks like, very cool, printed in all sorts of different colors. And you can try all sorts into the TPU, NinjaFlex is just what we like to do, but you can use SaneSmart or some other brands, TPU and we'll take a look at some slice settings and some other things. We also have a Blinka name tag, shout out to Paul Kotler for being the first one to print this one out. This just has the Blinka kind of typeface and it's a little bit thicker, it has this kind of border outline that's a styler stick and then the same exact type of installation, just make sure that tucks under there and you get yourself a nice Blinka thing. I think it would be really cool to print this out, but use the color swap, filament swap technique so you can have two different contrasting colors there for your branded headband, so that one looks really like yellow-black, those are really good color combos. And then take it out, I've just been kind of pressing it out by using my finger to kind of push against the mesh and then it just pops it out so that's the way I make them to pop it out without damaging it. Yeah, so other than the headbands, we figured let's make some ear covers too, so these ear covers are very, very smooth, I love the design of them, these are removable, you don't really need to do that, I'm just kind of showcasing the modularity of these headphones, the Apple AirPods Max. Typically you get like some sort of case like this that kind of wraps around the whole thing, so we figured let's make our own and then add LEGO studs to the outer surface here, so we came up with this design here, this piece here is printed in PLA and then this LEGO plate is printed separately, here it is printed in black, so if you want to go with a more kind of different color scheme you can do that, this prints without any support material, this is what touches the bed, this is glitter black PLA, so you want to have some hard PLA for this one and this was actually supposed to go over here, it has these cutaways that accommodate for the onboard controls and it just press fits there, that's it, so it just stays in there like that and then you can add your own LEGO stud plate if you want to do that or you can add you know any type of design, stickers, decals, whatever you like you can add here, this is our LEGO plate, it's got an 8x8 base plate with a little bit of extra on the top and bottom and then these are the LEGO studs, the tiles, the LEGO dots, so you could either glue this or double stick it or velcro it so that you can swap them out and that way you can have studs on your ears as well, yeah so I got this one here, this is my kind of blue version, turquoise blue, that just press fits in there, you can add some words if you'd like, you can spell all sorts of stuff out, I'm really getting into LEGO dots and LEGO art, mosaic art, it's like its own design language that I'm super jazzed about right now, I think one of my tiles fell off so you might get that too right with the tiles, just gotta clean up those retractions, but yeah these are a really cool way to kind of express yourself right with colors and designs and elements, it's a really cool platform and the Apple AirPod Max headphones are really simple like in their design, like the build quality is just excellent and yeah if you're in the market for like premium headphones these are pretty nice and fancy, definitely you know check the reviews if you're into that and find out if this is something that you want, but we're going to take a look at the Learn Guide where you can learn how to do this for your own pair of your favorite headphones by following some basic techniques like measuring and extruding stuff in CAD and I think the quick tip too on just finding out the best prices for these Costco I think has them for way cheaper than what Apple's trying to sell them for, yeah these headphones can be, you can, don't play full price, you can get them at discount in other places, this is the LEGO stud thing, I really like it obviously yellow is a great color for LEGO and that looks great there, cool of course you can bring them all sorts of different colors and make some match whatever colors you'd like, yeah so let's take a look at the Learn Guide, yeah real quick while you're pulling that up people love these Sokawi unicorn really that's cool thank you yeah I hope you like the and then one comment on people want an LED one on there we have done that before we added the little Mickey ears on how you can add the if you want to make the circuit like that yeah this is pretty much what it would be like little Mickey ears should be able to fit on the top he should you will probably have to make a little some sort of enclosure to hold the battery yeah it's a little bit different these are kind of a two-piece setup so you have the band and then these are printed upright and they have these little little feisty cups that create an end stop but because it's ninja flex you can do one of these dealies where you can just kind of stretch it and form it out I don't want to rip it so but yeah these are mouse ears and the band goes like that so if you wanted to add some LEDs to this element and then string the you know the the wiring down to here maybe you have your enclosure right here with a non-off switch just just throwing out some ideas yeah that the whole thing here was just to kind of come up with an assortment of designs and then just kind of play with the idea of Lego compatible that was really the main thing of it but adding what tries to it will probably be down the line yeah this one too you can like you were showing you could swap these out for a different to link horns yeah we have a nice mailbox and I 3d printed this and ninja flex it's a bit of like a beanie and for Halloween I added these ears to it and it has the same type of kind of design element where you have a slot and you have a little tab that's a little bit bigger than the slot so you can squish the tabs into the slot and then you have yourself a nice object that is printed in two different orientations here the beanie is printed upright and then this is flat because it just works out really well flat and the texture kind of adds to the bat wings so lots of fun ideas with ninja flex cheetah you don't have to just dorm yourself you can make props for other elements like your mailbox and this one fits on the on the dome of our mailbox so it looks pretty cool good tip on doing printing in different separated different parts printing spikes is another fun thing to do in ninja flex because spikes in PLA are hard and rigid but in foot and initial flex you get the the benefit of it not hurting you so if you're doing something easy be safe you do this so I just made some spikes and fuck rock right looks like the yeah you make a bigger you make a thicker less more I'm gonna say a mohawk but like 90 degrees right this one kind of reminds me of like Statue of Liberty and Andrew Bale is saying on the YouTube chat this is a great way for people to be like hey please notice that I cannot hear you oh that's funny imagine making a big like you know a circle with a slash in it to say like I can't hear you kind of change them out too yeah so this kind of just pops off easily but it it stays in place like that it doesn't fall out you're just gonna kind of go like this but yeah not too bad I just pulled on it just right so it came off my face this looks kind of like that crown that birthday crown that we did mmm Becky yeah yeah yeah so spikes picks are fun horns cat ears really missing dragon something that's a good one teeth is saying a big red live sign on the side so people know that you're broadcasting or in a meeting that's a great idea yeah I like the idea of being able to swap out these plates so like some of the Velcro would work really well velcro or when we show off of the what'll be prototyping a way to with the walls increase that so it'll slip in and slip out but yeah yeah you get a good amount of work surface here on those ear cups so yeah all right I guess we'll jump into the learn guide one more there's two comments on the type of filament it is a ninja flex cheetah you don't have to get the ninja flex brand it is the yeah the short hardness yeah that's what you want to look at and the short hardness is 95 95 95 yeah so look for 95 95 yeah that's the type that in and it's usually labeled as TPU the more softer stuff is TPE okay that's a it could be a little bit more floppy yeah but it might work it'll be more softer to be more grippy this should work on Bowden printers as well the cheetah which is cool and they come in both 3 millimeter 2.85 1.75 diameter filament so and then VV on YouTube was saying that they could never get ninja flex print properly we're thinking you're using the 82 a that one is I originally tried printing this in ninja flex regular 82 and I was running into yeah I think it's 75 no 75 no I think it's 82 a I just switched to the cheetah stuff because it you can you literally can print faster it's designed to print faster at 40 millimeters a second while ninja flights you want to do like 20 to 30 yeah you have like retraction turned off on a direct drive on the direct drive you can have the retraction turned on with the cheetah right and there's a little bit of you know dribble here that's been left over but you can clean that up you can easily clean up with a flush pair of snips trying to focus here you go you can see here do we have some mini figs I have some right here thank you yeah let's let's place them in there so we go so here is a little minifig and you just press fit them in there we focus more easier ones to focus VV8 in there I recommend maybe you just fell off there I recommend putting these in after you've installed the thing oh yeah so you don't know flex them out of yes this one should R2D2 do should do a lot better because yeah here's a here's the thing that when you curve it he kind of pokes through so you gotta be careful with your approach yeah you can fit but once you can't curve all the way down so just be aware of what you're fitting there yeah and then a good tip from VV on YouTube chat saying gentle lighter it's really good for getting rid of the strings they found that's a good idea to getting a lighter like the finer yeah like the angel hair yeah those perfect yeah that work out pretty well you could also make them sit down I guess yeah just use you four studs instead of two more studs there there you go that's cool I'd hate the nice little suggestion for me getting the power to if you had a LED strip on there using the new 5 pin magnetic connector good idea so I got my seat and then 2231 puppy is saying yep that's perfect way to get rid of the string in they use the hot air reflow station it's another excellent idea just instantly curls up yeah we're gonna have to take the hot air going to that just one thing we have more in the other room but you know you won't be wary of your minifigs you might lose them because it's not super duper secured because it is Lego yeah because of you could increase the tolerance for sure make it like super tight yeah point one or point two thicker just so that you can squeeze it in there you'll have a really good grip since it is flexible you would you will be able to sort of conform that in there and push it into place yeah I think if you want to put it on the ear covers you could do that you maybe make a one of those side boxes so that you could stand up on like a little platform yeah that's what I was actually thinking with this one here so wouldn't mess with when you curl it it's definitely tighter you know we're rigid on the matrix all right cool let's go ahead and then jump into the learn guy and take a look at the settings yeah it's a really simple learn guide mostly hosting the files but there's some tips in there for designing so we'll jump through those yep photos plots of different photos of it so you're printing got your cat files we have STLs that you can download they're ready to go oriented to print as is and then the source file has the original sketches you can modify them if you want to change the tolerances or where the layout of any other things you can do that with the cat source we have a fusion 360 file also a step file that should work in other cat packages for ninja flex slice settings these are particular for the cheetah filament so 230 C is the nozzle temperature that's recommended 50 C if you have a heated bed if not heated bed you can use blue painters tape or PEI sheet we want to stick to a line extrusion width of 0.4 millimeters as our geometry just tends to print out better with an even number like that we have a shell count of two so because we're doing lego studs and horns anything more than three or anything more than two shells will tend to make it a very rigid geometry so for example these horns they're two shells so that it's nice and soft to the touch so they're bendy and flexible top and bottom layers we have five because the thickness of your headband should be solid so that's why we have five top and bottom layers if each layer height if your layer height is 0.2 millimeters you can do the math and figure out you know how many layers that actually turns out to be zero percent infill for all of these horns and stuff you could print them with infill but I really like the effect of not having any infill so that they're very floppy and flexible but still maintains their shape now retraction is sort of a thing to vary it to be very aware of when you're printing ninja flex or any TPU flexibles when you're doing a direct drive meaning that the extruder is right at the nozzle your retraction distance should be about one millimeter that's like the minimum and for printers that have a Bowden style drive where the nozzle doesn't have the extruder right on it like has it on the side of the printer that's a Bowden drive with that we recommend turning off retraction completely and then just having to clean it up later retraction speed at 30 millimeters a second kind of slow and combing mode we found that when you have combing mode turned on it tends to kind of add a little bit of extra goobers so when we do reduce that is to just turn off the combing mode so those are some recommended settings that you can use in either cura slicing or Prusa slicer and those are all good kind of base lines to start with then you can tweak them from there just little notes on the the headbands it's a 2 by 16 Lego compatible base plate so this is that and then the ear covers have a about around an 8 by 8 Lego compatible base plate the ear covers so it's about it there really we got a couple of guidelines here for designing your own so when you are measuring stuff that are curved you can use a flexible measuring tape so that's what I used to figure out the the total length of the canopy and the headphones so I was able to use you know flexible measuring tape got the diameter of that not diameter the length of it and then you can use calipers to measure you know length width depth of your ear covers or whatever else feature that you want to add on to your headphone or something else inside a fusion you can use the import canvas feature which allows you to import images reference images to your canvas so I got screenshots directly from Apple's website and then I imported them into fusion and then you can calibrate the canvas and apply a dimension to it so that you can kind of size the artwork to real dimensions that's how well I was able to do and then from there with the side profile I used the spline tool to kind of trace out the shape and the spline tool gives you these really nice bezier curves handles that allow you to manipulate the curvature of the of the shape so I was able to kind of just trace the the profile of the ear cups and then to create the actual shape what I did was I used the forms inside a fusion you can create a form to create really curvature very puffy shapes really nice and organic shapes so I extruded that shape inside the form workspace extruded that out and then you can use a fill hole command to kind of round off that extrusion because when you extrude a form you kind of are extruding a thin piece of geometry without any thickness so you can close a hole by using the fill hole command inside the form workspace and then use one of the modes to to make the the end cap really curvature very curvy so here you can see the mode I'm using is whatever the mode is and then you can mirror and duplicate that form to create a solid so that's how I was able to create this very very kind of pillowy shape it's kind of hard to do that with any other method I found so this is a good kind of tutorial and I have some layer-by-layers on how to use forms particularly the Adafruit logo I use this very same technique when we created those puffy organic Adafruit logos shapes you can apply this technique to just about any type of shape I actually did this also with the cat ears so the cat ears have this very very simpler shape where I drew out the triangle extruded it with a form and then use the fill hole feature to smooth it to smooth it out and to close it so that's a really cool technique I might revisit that just to showcase some other kind of ways to use that and then now that I have like a buck basically I'm able to create another solid body and then use that form to subtract from that solid body so they can create this the sort of ear cup type thing and then creating some cuts and openings so using some more sketches to create some cutaways for the features on the headphones like the onboard controls the USB port and one of the microphone holes that sort of thing so that's why I have these cutaways and then a couple notes here on on creating a Lego compatible plates the circle diameter in this particular model is 4.9 millimeters but you can go up to five millimeters for the diameter of the stud because that's kind of typical to a Lego stud is five millimeters but because when you're printing it tends to expand a little bit during the process that's why I dropped it down to point nine four point nine millimeters and then the spacing is always eight millimeters so you can use a rectangular pattern feature to create a whole bunch of them and you can modify them to in within the sketch by changing the quantity of the studs so depending on your shape on your base plate shape you can select or deselect the studs as you'd like so you can see here when I start curving I deselect some of these circles here just to kind of conform to the shape and that's really it all of these are available in the the design source file so you can go in there and see how it's all working but here's some good guidelines and how to kind of create your own yeah they should open up perfectly inside of free CAD teeth on twitches saying this is really helpful thanks for breaking it down into simple steps suitable for any tool free CAD is what their fave is at the moment cool and yeah this would totally apply to all of the different CAD packages yeah sure all right and that is this week's project another super fun cosplay slash ninja flex designed fashion Lego all combined and mixed into this yeah right another quick sort of like common question was they're based in the UK for global shipping it's quite high they're looking for you know where to get the ninja flex and I just searched Amazon they might have a local distribution center around there the ninja flex that we picked up I think the yellow was like $23 so it's definitely a lot cheaper than what it used to be 60 kilograms mm-hmm half a kilogram yeah so it's definitely a lot more cheaper now as the craze of when you know back in the day like a new material would come out everybody yeah everybody would pick it up since the man has died down a little bit and people do realize it it's not as easy to print with it it's gonna get your settings right they did drop some of the prices down even got rid of some of the colors too yeah that's true yep some of the more fun colors have been discontinued but hey there's other manufacturers that have different colors mm-hmm yeah I think the hatchbox we've tried which works very well and then what's the other one yeah saint smart that one that was really good and those are equivalent to the cheetah which is the 95 a cool right I think there was one more comment I cannot find it yeah yep Amazon's gonna be the best bet all right cool let's go ahead and jump into this week's what are we prototyping all right this week prototyping you want to break to try to show this off for I think the past three weeks or a month or something like that or had a really good idea on making it forget where she saw the little gif animated pendants I think they're like supposed to be ornaments I think it was like during the holidays and she wanted to showcase these using the new displays that was released it was the I forgot the numbers the 147 inch the smaller little guy and the 1.9 inch yeah so these have swappable covers so if you want to use a or want your ornament to look like a Nintendo switch got you covered there these pop in and out like that they just press fit in originally she saw this as a little steam ornament steam the portable steam player is that what it's called just steam steam deck yeah so here's a little layout for that so if you want to show off your steam pride with that and these just press fit into place we're seeing there so everything of course is inside of the enclosure here lid pops out we got the battery and the feather IP 2040 inside there of course we had to use the pink feather inside there to have it nice and stand out but you know that it's RP 2040 and the displays inside there on nice and mounted you have your USB C ports and a little on and off switch to turn your circuit on and off you have rechargeable capabilities inside the board so that charges the board when you plug it in and you can program it right now it's running a circuit python sketch so this is just a bump we do have a tutorial on how to do the BMP BMP BMP yeah so it bitmap yeah with a spreadsheet spreadsheet yes it's a long bitmap and then each tile is a frame of the animation it's what 32 by 32 it's a little bit of a prop a little bit of a process to set up not really user kind of make your spreadsheet bitmap that's really the secret sauce there yeah yeah so Lamar wanted to make it super easy where you can just grab any gif off the internet just plop it right in or or gif gifs work to the jife is what I call it so smaller display stuff needed some software engineering so Lamar yeah she gets it hard at work and getting a but it's animated gif library Arduino and you'll be able to use the circuit python drive to to act as the file storage you're basically using the circuit python for its USB drive capabilities and then Arduino for its speedy senus nature yeah so both of both worlds come combining together to make peanut butter and jelly yes which pretty much what this is a nice little circuit sandwich so yeah so the next step is to do the case for a much smaller the 147 inch display which is way cuter originally I was gonna have this as the pendant but as soon as I put together the smaller display it's like okay I got it I gotta I gotta take a week to design this case and make it a nice little tiny guy that it is it's a lot more wearable than this guy prepared unlike the crime in expansive displays like these IPS displays have really really good quality the viewing angle is what you're looking at right yeah their high density I mean it looks even better when you small it's about small resolution through 20 by 170 it'll look better want to remove the protective cover yeah let's get in there really close I'll do a I think I froze I mean yeah we start that and then zoom in a bit to get that good look at the angle peel back a little bit yeah so you have a nice matted display all right I always remove your I'm not done with the case so I'm not gonna scratch that up yet yeah that's a really cool visual yeah that's really cool having the rounded corners there the IPS this is great so good viewing angles high quality display rounded corners on that one now like the aspect ratio to I don't remember doing one that is yeah 320 by 170 yeah this one's weird it's a 172 for the smaller one corner so it's weird that's yeah that's probably why it is so we'll be working a glanced over to the chat give season just jive season there it is gif gif jive and yeah yeah so this will come out and that next week week after it's gonna make the smaller case for this guy and yeah that's I think one of the coolest things about it is interchangeable faces for this that's super cool and we got the little ring split ring that's the thing is interchangeable swappable horns yep so we'll get that out in the week or two sonic thing the other than we've been prototyping Phil found a really cool app that'll turn your spare phone into a web camera it's something that we use a lot for doing the broadcasting but how do you attach that to your in his case he has a MacBook or an iMac we have those notches on our on our laptop so how do you attach a Lego compatible part on that with that you know covering up the notch only just add a little cut out for that and have these little like pegs on the sides to hold that into place so did you talk about the whole reason why the MacBook webcams not the best quality oh I think that goes without saying phone camera is gonna be a lot better like this is a great idea cuz like we're everybody's doing zoom everybody's on video and their laptop camera sucks in their pocket if they got an iPhone or an Android phone great camera so much better than your laptop here is to make your laptop camera using your mobile phone so this this little piece here has Lego studs so you can add bricks to it and fashion your own tripod holder or just three print the tripod holder with the tripod screw adapter so here's the tripod screw adapter been using this for I forgot a while I thought I'd release this as one of the past Lego projects but I have not all it is is a simple little two by six that has a quarter 20 to 3 eighths on the back here so you can attach a regular tripod yeah so we have the little screw insert there it has a nice little cutaway so you can use a tool to insert it no need for heat pressing the threads are built into it all to the I was gonna yeah it did do it for a minute there I know but it's not good so yeah you can see here that the threading is great when it's made out of metal mm-hmm and if it's perfect there so is this prince of its supports or no support on the inside okay so a little bit of supports on the inside for that internal screw thread and then I click these pieces the other and now you have a tripod screw where you can add a little phone holder thing mm-hmm so I think this will come out next week just because it's a actual utilitarian type thing that we use on broadcasting so we like the combination of the screw ball head we need the swivel actually no we need a 20 to 20 converter for this one I should be able to 20 do you want me to grab it real quick I mean it's just a prototyping so yeah I was gonna say pull up later for the store we have all of little camera Lego bits is what we little Mara would often refer to them to as because we have all these little pieces to create your own mounting yeah here's the insert here's a D-ring and here's the quarter to quarter adapter so this would adapt you know a female to a female basically it's made out of metal and it has nice narrowing the one that I've been using though if you scroll down in the other products suggested there is a ball and swivel pan tilt shoe mount yeah so that's what I'm using there with a just you know one of those cheapo you know dollar phone holders dollar the other thing that this one snaps I think this was like 10 bucks or five bucks or something like this because they have a thing here and one down here these are a little bit more rigid than the ones we sell the one so the reason why I like these I use the ones that we sell is because of the weight yeah a little you know five millimeter thick laptop screen yeah this is a heavy yeah this is a thick boy but it has a really nice knob and stuff we love tripod stuff so much you kind of stand well I mean it's the whole video thing right but that's why we have some of these accessories are hardwares a bunch of these but just type in tripod and you will see all of them as I did here tripod and like cases that have the adapters as well so yeah we actually influenced this one apparently I didn't know but Lamar was like yeah the Reese Brothers always do this so throw it in their mic makes like yep I'll do it that's perfect for mounting pretty it's pretty universal for mounting and another reason why Lamar would refer to it as Lego parts for the cameras right cool these are fun to do a lot with these you scroll down you can see all the projects they've been used in as well got some monitor holders sliders always popular right as we pie camera tripods this one gets a lot of usage yeah all the tripod like even like my builds my enclosure builds they all have any monitor that you're building do it as you're doing a shoe do it yeah yeah here's this cool for the ps4 controller we heavily use that to make it so we can attach this honkin display to our yeah it's our ps4 controller and then similarly when we made our DIY camera heat thermal camera we added a insert at the bottom of the case just makes it way easier to adapt for a mounting profile as we did here nice profile and as if you can see here it's you know the size of the regular brick right a nice little compact bottom you want to see behind the scenes ready oh yeah that's how I've been using it for camera camera year two now this is how it's the 360 is attached to the top there where I do the other time lapses weird man that's why I thought I had released this already because I've been using it for a while but this is excellent way to when you stare at the abyss the abyss stairs back at you I need to re-tighten my whole set up there yeah so originally I had so this is oh no you just moved my time lapse I'm so sorry showcase that this it has a bridge it just fits over the the IMAX bezel yeah so and it doesn't need to be super long or anything yes so for the because I've already mentioned that the notches that are on the laptops which is what he wants to use it on we have that little cutaway there yeah and then the expanded what's it called expanded a plate plate plate so you can actually all of your other Legos and dress up your screen because you know when you're at work you want to have everything you like around when you're working so that's the way to do a little Lego set up here into the motive as yeah so it is a nice little way to and actually put it over here so you can see I'll be using it with the tripod and all that I'll show that off messy or back behind the scenes is super messy and it'll very very fun access useful practical print yes love those like tripods and like Lego there you go come on all together people are feeling motion sick in the chat I'm so sorry all right cool and that's what we're prototyping sorry Andy forgive all right this place huh yeah he wants a Tata great Tyler great let's go ahead and what about I guess we have 10 minutes I was gonna show the battery monitor just see the battery monitor oh yeah yeah yeah I did see it yeah that's shop talk are we shop talking you can shop talk all right we have a shop like this week we got our hands on this battery monitor a bit of a new product in stock so this body monitor comes with wires and what I did was I soldered this very high-quality js2 connector so the pins in the back there and this little battery monitor just gives you a simple readout of how much battery power you have left in your little lipo batteries so these will work this board will work with all of the Adafruit batteries they're a 3.7 volt batteries this is our Adafruit one or our feather one and yeah I definitely recommend picking up a one of these js2 connector cables and soldering it to this if you plan to use this this comes with a little injection molded case and but you can you can use these tabs to remove the PCB from its prison like this and then it has like this little window here of acrylic it's kind of it's shaded a little bit but yeah it's just this bare PCB and this nice little modular with the battery indicator on it already and then we can just connect any of our Adafruit batteries and just get a quick look at what how much juice it has left and it went from 3 to 2 in that instance just kind of funny but yeah it's two colors it's blue and red let me do some quick camera magic here there you go and then we'll do the exposure drop and that's a little bit true to color so you get these nice colors red for the outline and then blue is your indicator do you have another battery that I could try oh yeah let's try this one let's try a different battery shall we so we just disconnect it and one has three so you see this could use a little bit of extra juice maybe we can do a project with it we haven't really thought too much more than like let me get this running so I can see our batteries but normally it's kind of difficult to find out what our battery life is for any of these batteries so we kind of want to build something that maybe this is it right and he's asking does it turn green when it's fully charged it does not it does not maybe we can make a project dedicated with the o-pixels but then that's kind of a weird one I don't know because then you're kind of the batteries kind of dying as you're trying to display it but let me pull it pull up the the product page if you want to play with these it's under the new section of the website and it is called the single li-ion li-poly battery power monitor for 295 so yeah these are the wires that it comes with so what I did was I soldered soldered one of these JST connectors I really like these JST not that one but this one the male header 200 millimeter this one has a really nice connector right here that makes it work really well yeah so I'm a fan of these in the room stock right now so that's this week's shop talk get your power battery monitor power monitor for your battery cool all right sweeten up this week's talk and I'm talking to them into this week's community makes everybody loves this super cute tardigrade how adorable he is I am super surprised this printed all in one piece had a little trouble of getting the joints to move just the middle section but once we got through that how cute this guy is the only thing that I didn't do correctly was the mouth I was supposed to add support material to the mouth but that came right off so I just printed it separately and stuck it in cool so much articulation in fact that you can you have like multiple rotation parts on his foot his little claws rotate independently and then his upper leg and then of course this guy cannot go ahead and hug you yeah this is scaled up I don't know what the percentage is it's just like the Y is like set to 180 so let everything else snap to whatever size that was the original size is so tiny so you do have to do some scaling so just scale it as big as what your bed is they did have some tips on doing some horizontal expansion to sort of get the the printable parts to not fuse but I didn't need to do on any of that on the cruelty printers and yeah super awesome I like the detail on this guy too so great target great cool so this is on three reverse by me replica 3d and here's what they look like in a bunch of different colors I always thought they were like sort of a whitish pink color but then you were like aren't they just translucent or transparent I don't know are they I mean all the pictures research yeah all the pictures I see yeah I think you're right they are like translucent they're printing it I don't know click on yeah I'm afraid to because I'm live so here are the parts anything here that's worth I tried the I think it's the long leg version long leg fixed I think so okay yeah maybe read the comments to just to get an idea of what's going on sometimes you want to do that check what folks I've tried it out sometimes just some tips in there and here's a make some good yeah looks like it's a lot of teachers are using this in the class room yes be a great model for this class there any educational setting mm-hmm so check them out third grade print in place for your face very cool face hugger now this is very cool so shout out to me replica 3d for putting this up yeah the way that they're doing the Lincoln linkages you can see it's kind of the the ball method instead of like the hoop or the like the chain method that we usually see you can kind of see right here little ball it's on the inside that that's rotating all around and this is using the matte PLA which is you know not the strongest PLA it's kind of brittle it's kind of brittle so I am extra surprised at this that I cannot fall apart like especially like the little claws it they're very strong like I was able to go in there and clean them up without breaking them again like I was saying right here this the middle section did fuse a little bit kind of see me like trying to jam something in there to release it but doing all that it's still survived I was for sure thought this was gonna break cool all right awesome little upgrade well not so little the links in the videos if you want to download it continuing on we got lots of community makes the catch up on so we'll see what we can get through in the next four or five minutes so I'll just kick it off so first up we have a make posted up by Eric's s Eric's and IS on the crucible printables this is a faceplate for the mag tag Adafruit display IOT display very cool they added a nice cloud outlined to it very themed to a weather display very cool shout out to Eric for this one take a look at another one okay next up it's another printables post this was posted by Eric again and they made one of the circuit playground magic wands this is a design by John Park actually so John Park built yeah very very fancy it's got some really fun effects and it uses the accelerometer to do some really cool magic wand type stuff so Eric says made one for my niece with the star and glow in the dark filament she absolutely loves it I made a second one in pink for the granddaughter of a family of a friend so cool those are the best we love when folks make stuff for other people all right we've got another one here again prints of printables this was posted by OEM Dave and OEM Dave says looking great this fitted on my MK S3 with no skirt and inside brim of two millimeters and glue stick this is fantastic this is our geodesic lamp shade for the style of lamps I love this thing it's really very cool it's got a geodesic frame and then the internal shade itself this is printed and translucent PLA so very geometric and shots everybody for printing this this one actually made a weekly print from Prusa so very happy about that and y'all can make one too it's two pieces that you can print or you can print it with a dual extruder next up we have another printables post this one is the neo trellis soundboard project and this was posted by a destined why and then you're saying while I only got a picture of my modified version I also had the original design used for quite some time didn't do the full build though but the design is splendid and everything is really well thought out that's great thanks for that comment and your post remake okay we're getting close to the end of the show so I'm trying to request here we have a 3d printed stand for the Raspberry Pi zero and this was posted up by Rallis and they said printed as an octopi stand for the Raspberry Pi 2w and protopost as Joel's hi-fi blue HT PLA looks good matches well with artillery's blue color scheme so this looks fantastic octopi rig very nice to do all right and it just keeps going doesn't it we have like several weeks queued up here so just one more and then we'll continue the rest another stand this is for the tripler or the doubler tripler doubler and single all three oh great if you have lots of feathers and you're using the doublers triplers this is a great stand for that so shout out to oh you 773 are ocean for posting their make of those stands nice okay we had a cutie pie case here this one sticker verse also posted up by oh you 773 are ocean look at those cutie pie cases look fantastic in all these colors wow in the great sweet they have time just printing all the things great right 2231 puppies saying people are actually getting pi zero twos back then they did here's a iPhone 12 pro max and mini flexible case for the ninja flex another great ninja flex case use yeah those are our best and most beautiful iPhone covers to print I love the pattern to fidget around please please make them again for the upcoming iPhone 14 absolutely there is Brunson on a krill tea and or three pro oh there you go he's son he's son pet G PLA plus yeah oh

one pretty purple that's cool and this was posted up by Thingiverse user carrier boys carrier boys customized to fit my printer looks great made pins to fit my customized shield it took a lot of the trouble shooting but I did it congratulations glad you did it and it worked out very cool okay we got another one here another Thingiverse post this is a remix of the Pico midi fighter project looks like they modified the case let's see why this is a quick remix for the Pico fighter frame it's modified effect to if to accept a difference USB B Panama to cable I love that that means that you get a

close close enough to show with some Star Trek fandom here and this is a make of the Star Trek comb badge with the circuit playground it uses the accelerometer so you can tap it and does stuff let's say we mixed it with their own insignia I love it that's a medical yeah it's like a doctor or a nurse or something yeah superhero it's posted up by a two-shirt calm very cool nice no comment necessary just here you go great that's always great when people like remix the the thing it's a Pedro cosplaying we actually CNC milled this out of a real metal but we also three printed some standoffs for the the circuit playground shadow to everybody for posting up their makes we're caught up now thank you everybody so much for you know taking the time to post a photo in a little bit of description it's always fun to hear the story behind the make and with that folks I encourage all y'all to share your makes with us on show and tell tonight we got a special guest JP John Park will be hosting will be
