 My name is Noir Wez, I'm a designer here at Adafruit. Enjoying me every week is member of the Pedro. Good morning everybody, I'm Pedro Rez, creative tech here at Adafruit. Every week we're here to share 3D printed projects featuring electronics from Adafruit. That's right, this year we combined 3D printing and DIY electronics to make inspirational projects. Hello everybody, hanging out in the Discord chat room if you'd like to join us during the live show with any banter questions and comments, you can join the Discord server. The invite code for that is discord.gg slash adafruit and we're hanging out in the live broadcast chat room. So we're gonna take a moment to welcome everybody to the show. Thank you for joining us, we hope you're all doing well and staying safe out there. We are also hanging out in the YouTube chat on Facebook and Periscope. Good morning to everybody, hanging out, shout outs too. Everybody hanging out, Rolls, Connor, Odina, and over on the... Over on Discord. Discord. Mark Gamblore and Stuart Riggs. Hello everybody, good morning, good afternoon, good evening to wherever you may be watching us. We're live and we'll kick it off with the show thing. So let's start off with an update too. The free days, you spend some money with Adafruit, we're gonna give you some free stuff. So we got an updated tier, we have three tiers this week and I think the rest of this month we'll see. So for orders that are $99 or more, you get a free half-size promo proto for orders that are $100 and $50, $150 or more. You get the half-size promo proto plus the Stemic QT breakout. You can get, it's randomly selected and if you have an account with Adafruit, make sure you don't get the same Stemic QT board twice. And then for orders that are 200 or those more, you get the half-size promo proto, the randomly selected Stemic QT board and free ground UPS shipping for the continental U.S. only. So check it out, Adafruit.com slash free. These automatically get added to your cart, so you don't have to worry about that. There's no codes or anything to type in for these deals. But if you do want a code, stick around till later tonight where we get a lovely 10% discount on Ask an Engineer. Circuit Python meetings happen every Monday at 2 p.m. Eastern time. You can join in live to hear the Circuit Python dev and community all coming together or you can listen to it as an archive shortly after around 4 p.m. Eastern time. You can subscribe via your favorite podcast service. Newsletters, once a week, there's a product-focused newsletter that's Adafruit.com slash newsletter. If you want to subscribe to that and get all the updates on the products that get added to the shop weekly. Daily is the AdafruitDaily.com. You can check out the different categories that you can subscribe to to get daily emails. Hello, hello, hello, hello. My audio sound's really low. So we're gonna switch it to this mic. Okay, so I switched it to this mic and it looks like my audio's are better. Yeah? I'm trying to. I know. Hey, what's up, folks? Hello. Maybe it's down here. That's why, sorry, everybody for the audio troubles. I think it's okay now. I'm looking at the levels, so they look fine. So anyway, AdafruitDaily.com, different categories. We won't spam you. And that's that. Hello? Okay, just checking. All right, next up we have the Halloween Hackfest. This is still going on. So if you go to hackaday.io, you can see all of the goodies that you can win. Here is the webpage for that. It's got a nice page and you can subscribe. You can submit your projects. All you have to do is create a project through Hackaday.io and click a button to submit it to the contest. Last week we talked about it. This week there are some more submissions and there is still a lot of time. The deadline for this is Monday, October 11th at 11.59 p.m. Pacific time. And I just wanted to pull out one very fun project here. So if you click on submissions, even if you aren't contributing or want to participate, you can still check out the awesome, lovely submissions and get some inspiration. I'm really digging this one from Glenn Ackens. Glenn Ackens put together a little guide and video on his safety coffin grave bell. This is really, really fun. It's using a proximity sensor and a servo and some smarts to make a motion activated grave bell back in the old days. People were very afraid to be buried alive. So they would tie a piece of string to the deceased or the person that they thought is deceased and they would bury them with these things tied to their finger. So if they would wake up in their coffin under the ground, they could ring the bell. There's a little history lesson for you, very, very creepy, very, very cool construction, a good mix of woodworking and electronics. So check that one out. This is the Hackaday IO Halloween Hackfest sponsored by DigiKey. Also, if you use eight of your parts, we double the winnings. So check that out if you do want to get some inspiration for your Halloween projects. Definitely inspired. We want to rebuild this using all eight of your parts and then break that off into that little door knocker that we've been wanting to do for a while. Yeah, this is something. The same kind of mechanics I think about. Yeah, this is something like I would imagine at the Haunted Mansion from the Disney part. I'm surprised you don't have this outside where all the graveyards are. It's such a good one, it's really nice. It's like, oh, because they have their own little mini graveyard and this sort of thing. They do have the door knocker. It's a similar sort of instruction. Imagine having a row of them and just walking by and they're all jingling different notes. That'd be fun. So anyway, huge shout out to Glen Ackins for putting this up and check out Glen Ackins on YouTube. He's got some cool projects, so check it out. That's the Hackaday IO Hackfest. Still going on. Help Wanted, if you go to boards.atifruit.com you'll see that there are some job listings. Pretty much the same ones as last week so I'll skip pulling these out. But if you are a maker looking for a new gig or if you're an employer looking for a maker, check out jobs.atifruit.com. Some lovely ones out there. And that's the jobs boards. All right, I think that does it for the intro stuff. Our audio is better, I think. Sounds good. All right, let's go ahead and jump into this week's, I guess, shop talk or is it prototyping? What do you mean, this week's project? Yeah, this week's project. Oh, the guide, yeah, sorry. Well, of course, I did it. So this week's project is a little 3D printed frame for the new Adafruit glasses. So if you check out learn.atifruit.com you can see we have a little two-page guide on these 3D printed frames for the Adafruit LED glasses. These are those new glasses that went up last week. They sold out so quickly, but don't fret, there are more being manufactured. And this probably gives me a good opportunity to highlight the Adabox. If you really want to get guaranteed to get your hardware before it sells out, make sure you are subscribed to the Adabox. You can do so, you have 14 days until we start closing this off. But Adabox, what is this, 20 or 19? I think it's 20. So Adabox 20, I hope it's 20, it might be 19. I think it is 19. Is it really, is it 19? I think so. I'm ahead of myself. But anyway, 14 days, 13 hours, 51 minutes. Make sure you're subscribed if you're not. It's a great way to get guaranteed that you're gonna get the latest and funnest. We always have a really awesome Adabox for every Halloween because that's kind of like Adafruit's holiday, is Halloween. So check it out. Back over to this week's project, which is these glasses is a 3D printed frame. So here it is, it's a three piece thing. And these are the LED glasses, okay? And then the way it's attached is with machine screws. I really wanted these nose pads, so I built in these nose pads to the bit of a frame. You have three mounting holes that you can choose from. I selected the middle ones here. So these middle ones are using M3 screws. And then I got some hex nuts in the back here that secure the frame to the actual PCB, cool. And then for the hinge, I have an M25 screw right here and right here. And below here is a hex nut, the plastic one. But those hex nuts there will keep it nice and tight. So you can still bend this if you want. And I have it really, really tight. So if I unscrew that, I can kind of close it, but I don't plan to close it. On the right arm, we have mounting holes for a feather compatible board. This is the feather RP2040. It's my favorite feather because it has a built-in Stem-AQT connector. The way this works is it has a LED driver. This is the IS31FL3471. This is 3471, whatever it is. There's Stem-A connectors right here and right here. Then you need a microcontroller to actually power this. So here's the microcontroller. And this is the little 50 millimeter Stem-A cable. The feather is attached to this frame with nuts and screws. And that's that simple, no soldering here required. And to power it, I have this USB-C cable and one of our lovely 2,200 milliamp LiPo batteries. These are super cheap and super easy to work with. So the idea here is that I don't want a battery on my forehead. I've done that before and it kind of is heavy. So I really like this simple kind of power setup because I can recharge this and it's protected. So if I drop this, it won't explode and it's far away from my face. So let me get this powered here. So we have a update to the Circuit Python library and the Arduino library. It's been optimized, so check it out. This is the demo code that comes with the library for the IS-31FL3741 and it's optimized now. It was optimized like last night. So check it out. If you do have your LED glasses, try out the Circuit Python library and check out the demo code. There is more in the works. So let me go ahead and put these on my face and see how I can wrap around my head. I really wanted those nose pads back there because having the FR-4 on your nose kind of hurts. Oh yeah, so that's what we got going on here. So yeah, the frames are sized to hopefully fit most heads but it is a parametric design. If you do feel like modifying it, you can modify the CAD files. So we have the step file and the Fusion 360 file of the original design source. If you want to modify it, you can do so. If you have something like Tinkercad, you like to use Tinkercad, you can download our STL of just the PCB and make some cool frames or build it into a existing prop, like maybe have some sort of puppet or some sort of skull that you can attach it to. It's really easy to do that with those three mounting holes. And if you want a laser cut something, maybe some sort of diffuser or what have you, you can also use the CAD file to do that. So that's what we got going on. So let me head back over to the learn guide and we'll kind of waltz through it. Waltz with me. Where is it? I lost my tab. Yeah, so the parts we got the LED glasses, those were out of stock. They were in stock. I think maybe a hundred of them went up, maybe 50. So thank you everybody for buying them as quick as you could. They sold out in like 30 minutes. The Feather RP2040, is that in stock? Is it in stock? It is in stock. Feather RP2040, like I said, my favorite Feather. It's only 12 bucks, so check it out. And for the stem of cables, if you sell so many of these stem of cables and the 50 millimeters is the shortest ones, you can get a longer one, but the short ones are, hopefully will be back in stock. I'm using a mix of M25 screws and M3 screws. So you'll want to pick those up. And then I got my USB-C cable. I forgot to mention the battery, but you can use any USB five volt battery to power your Feather over USB-C. Check out this picture. This was a hard picture. Let me just talk real quick about how do you get these pictures? It all comes down to a long exposure. So using a flash, a long exposure, you can get these really nice, what would you call this? When a light source has this like twinkle, you see the shape of them? That's like really hard to do without a long exposure shutter speed. So you set your shutter speed to like one second, long exposure, and you get these. It's also a product of your iris, the way that your lens, because some people won't have that. They'll have like a hexagonal type of look. So it depends on your lens. It's incredibly difficult to figure out the settings for. And if you see our product photos, it's even more hard to get it on video. This is normally what it looks like. You take a picture of it. It's like, are they even on? You take a photo of lights. It's pretty difficult, but there's your tip. Long exposure with flash. If you want to take some lovely photos of LEDs, that twinkle, and it looked like starbursts, that's how I was able to get it. All right. I don't know if folks appreciate that. All right, so over to the 3D printing page. We got some slice settings. We got some CAD files, some zips, and our thing just broke. Come on, come on, line system. Help me out here. All right, here we go. So here are the parts. No supports needed. Everything prints flat on the bed, so you don't need any supports. That's cool. You can download the STLs or download the CAD source, which has that step file that I was talking about. I was able to fit everything on the bed, like all in one go, so that's really nice. I already showed you the CAD assembly. You can use some nuts and some screws, and the design source is available on GitHub if you want to download just the PCB file. You can get that. It has all the LEDs and the connectors and capacitors all on the board, so you get a one-to-one accurate model of the components and the PCB. Very, very cool, and that's really the whole line guide. The assembly is pretty straightforward because you just look at the gif of all the screws exploding and reinstalling. Excellent. Awesome, some questions. In the chat room, is there an easy way in Fusion to bend the areas of the glasses? Bend the areas of the glasses? Yeah, I'm thinking like a molded, yeah, a curved bit. Yeah, with some work, you can do like a, you can use the spline tool and curve it out, or you can... Think they're talking about like this, yeah. So like the arms. Yeah, I could probably do like a loft and do like a sweep. You can kind of create two different sketches with planes, that's a good layer by layer maybe. Or you could just hit a heat gun to it and just bend it yourself. That's a little destructive, but lots of different ways to do it. The reason why I have it flat like this is because I can print it flat. And yeah, that's a cool idea though. I think it might work if it's a printed, you don't have another pair, right? Where the bottom is like that. I do not have another pair. So if the bottom is like that, so if it's on the bed like that, and then you still get that curve. Yeah, so you would still get that curve like that. Yeah, that would be a good idea. I'll definitely try that. But yeah, it's just flat, no curve. But this right here does a good job of holding it. I was thinking of putting like little pads, a notch here so that I could put a rubber band or some sort of thing. So if you wanted to strap it to your head, tighten it that way, that would work. I wonder if like the existing, like what are they called, the things you put on your glasses like the chains or something that would have fit too. It's, there's a nice fillet around here on the edge so that it doesn't hurt your ears when it's wrapped around your ears. But yeah, I wanted to make the hedge pretty chunky so I have it, I think, four millimeters thick on each side. And this is an M3 hole, so I'm using M25 hole so that there's a little bit of clearance there. But yeah, really, really simple design and construction. I needed to get this out pretty quick so I didn't spend too much time on it. The nose pads, really happy about those because without them, like I said, it really hurts your nose. Oh yeah, it's gonna dig into your nose. And then one of the other things we need to put in here too, De Wester was saying that he wears glasses and luckily Lamar showed it off on attaching it to existing glasses using some zip ties. So that's what the other two mounting holes can be used as. You can just zip tie them or design a little thing that you could like stick them onto your adjusting glasses. You might not be able to fit a zip tie, I don't know how she did it exactly, but these holes are M3 holes. So zip ties normally aren't that then, but you could just put it in there. You could check out the product page for that. There's a video on there, her showing it off. And I think she said Ray Bands or something. She says the model of the glasses that she used and she was able to put it right over her existing glasses. Yeah, I don't know if she had a driver. I think the driver was down here. The driver was hanging off. For this one, you could make a new version of the thing. Like let's say you want a QT pie and you could have a QT pie here instead. I went with the feather because it's... Maybe like a mount for other sunglasses would be cool too. So it's taking that and then like either zip tie it or somehow screws into some other sort of glasses. If you wanted the Bluetooth, you could use the NRF feather and that has good circuit pie support and that would work here. Yeah. I didn't want the battery on my head because it weighs it down a bit. Over here I would have put like a 400 million battery and then routed a JST cable over here down here and then back into the JST power connector there. But for simplicity sake, no soldering. You just kind of screw these things and attach it all together and you got a nice simple wearable frame for your LED glasses. Super cool. Thank you. Great job Lamar and Phil on the silk screen and the PCB design. It went through quite a few different iterations. Do we have the other ones? So we can show that in a disclaimer too that this design, when you order it, it might not be the design to show up with. Yeah, this is wool. So we got here bug. Yeah, bundle fly bug. This bundle fly bug, bug, bug. Yeah, this is what you get. This is what you'll get. This is what you'll get just the PCB. You won't get the driver because you can choose anything from like a feather or I think even the QT pie with some modification. I didn't go close to it. You can really see the RGB LEDs on there. It's based apart. And great silk screen. And enough room if you wanted to like build one of those grids that we like doing for like some blackility or credit. But you said it didn't diffuse it as well. I mean, it could. I just didn't want to cover up the lovely silk screen. Yeah. So that's one reason to keep it bare like that. Maybe like just the circle. So it's just around there. Yeah, that'd be cool. Yeah, there's lots of cool diffuser bits that you can do. DeWester is asking Pico, original Pico, that fit on there? Like would that drive it? Yeah, for sure the Pico would. You just have to solder to the pin since there's no, there's no stomach connector on that. Oh yeah. But hey, that's fine. Typical. And nice and blank on the back. Yeah, this gives you an idea of how well you can see through it. You know, you can basically see through them. Cause you know, I don't know. I mean, when it's so close to your eyes. Yeah, you really don't see that. You really don't see it. Oh great, there we go. But yeah, this is the bug. And this is a wolf, wolf bar. Yeah, just connect this now if you want. Sure, like that. Super easy to take it apart too, just unscrew these things. And yeah, the 50 millimeter stomach cable is really nice. Cause it's not too lengthy and it's not too short. So that works pretty well. There you go. Take out the battery and plug it in and just kind of let it run there. So there we go. Really, really simple solution here. No soldering required again. I keep saying that cause like, I've been soldering all week. And it's like, huh. Definitely makes it more accessible. Yeah, you can just plug it in. Just plug it in. I gotta worry about just getting the code on there. And then how you actually want to wear these and dress them up with your costume. That's so nice to see the rapid speed of development here yesterday. Like literally yesterday, there was some flickering bug and the code wasn't quite optimized, but Philby did a great job on optimizing it this morning and pushing it out last night. Yep, still lots to do. This is really, really nice. And then we have like our iOS developer, Trevor working on some of the, the Pileep app. So you can actually add some text on there and have it send right to your glasses. So that's other cool stuff for Bluetooth. Yeah, so that's stuff that's coming up and he's using like the circuit playground and the blue fruit and it's connecting it that way. And a really good point too that DeWester just said too is that he'd want to move the mount completely off the glasses so everything is running down to like on your belt or your pocket or something like that. It's a really good idea. Yeah, it's a good way to keep all of the weight off of your head. Yeah, for sure. See, and yep, Johnson County library makerspace. Yep, these will be in stock. I don't know when, but they're coming back. Don't worry, they're being manufactured as we speak. Cool, yeah. Yeah, and the only way I found out about this cause nobody knew they were in stock is I always constantly have that infruit.com slash new page and I just refresh like hundreds of times a day. Cause you'll never know when things will be back. I think that's like the quickest way to do it too. You can go ahead and do the signup. That sometimes will alert you before but I just have the page open and consistently refresh throughout the day. One of the dragon ones. Rule of the saying, yeah, he wishes everything was USB-C. Yes, same here. There's some like reversible. Yeah, when it comes to design some things we can't fit it in there in the form factor that we want. But yes, one day everything will be USB-C. And then they'll be USB-D. I think the new one is like USB-C-P-D. No, there's like some sort of, I think differentiating like the wattages or something you could pull through, something like that. I guess I'll keep these on then. Mesmerize the audience. Yep, so we'll do a video promo for this. Yeah, the reason why is cause like literally the library was updated last night. Yeah, they're still. And I didn't want to, you know, we have to show all these demos. We have to show the text on there. There's artifacts and those glitches that were showing up. So if you got your, if you were one of the lucky few that got, you know, the first batch update your library, whether you're in Arduino or CircuitPython, they're both the same and they're both getting optimized by Phil B. So thank you. And this is available at CircuitPython.org slash and download. No, this isn't a CircuitPython board. This is like a. Ah, where do we get it on? What's the GitHub link to update this? Well, it's right here. You're gonna have to click on the, oh, let me switch to the. So if you go to the product page, you can see here Arduino and CircuitPython. If you click on that, it takes you to the library. You can see here, 17 hours ago, paint your dragon, push it out. And you just download this, see where it says code, click on that, click on download zip. That'll give you the whole folder. This right here, Adafruit underscore IS31FL3741. That's the library. So you want to put that folder in your lib folder in CircuitPython drive. And then under the examples, we can pull out this one that says, the IS31 underscore glasses ring. And that's the code that's running on my face. And that was posted two days ago. You can also play with these other ones because we do have another board that is basically using the same driver chip. If you want, I can quickly go to it. Just type in the IS31. And you can see that this one is basically the same driver, but it's different. It's different. It's a 13 by nine matrix, but it's basically kind of the same hardware for the glasses. And it's the same library. Here you can see it running off of a QT PI, which is really cute and adorable. And we actually have a planned project, a collab project with Liz Clark that uses this one. She had a really good idea on a cool project for this. Yeah, so this driver's getting some good hardware and some good software for it. But other than that, that's the usual workflow that Lamar does. She'll make a little breakout for us so you can test all the driver and everything on there. And then we'll port it over to these awesome glasses. Very cool. All right. So, yeah, product page link to the thing. And I think the code here where it has the Adafruit text scrolling, I believe that one's only for Arduino. So if you click on the Arduino link here, I think there's an examples folder. And then here you see three different glasses demos. Very cool. A direct, a buffered, and a smooth. And here's one that says the art QT matrix text buffer. That one's probably for the matrix that I showed you. But yeah, this is all still being updated and stuff. And GitHub's being GitHub. One of our PRs failed because GitHub actions is a beast. So bear with us on the Arduino side. But yeah, check it out. Back over to Discord, anybody saying stuff? Yes, I think I've answered all of the questions. Let's go ahead and move on. What's next? The... Oh, come on. Shop day. Oh, we got more. Yeah, I think it's a cat explosion. For prototyping, I guess we could show off the ray gun. Yeah. So the ray gun, this is... Howling coming up. Work on some props. Right, so. All right, so since the last update, we have added a nice angle to the handle so it looks like a ray gun that really helps ergonomics. And we added an LED because one of the modes, we just need to have an LED. You can have a ray gun blaster without an LED. So I have this really nice bright yellow LED. And this is all done in circuit Python. So when I hold the trigger down, it plays a way file and turns on the LED. And this is just using a Feather M4 and an amplifier, the PAM 8302. We've got some magnets here. So you can click that in there. And I remade this so it's thinner up here. So you can see the light shine through. Really, really fun ray gun. Goes well with the glasses. Yeah. Space Ranger. Yeah, so this will be a fun Philby collab project. Philby's going to write the code so that we can use this slider here to change up the sound effects. And there's going to be another version that has some keys on top. It's a very strange obscure prop from Star Trek, the animated series. Not so obscure with our audience, they knew. Like what? Yeah, they probably know exactly. What episode number and all that. Right. This is the Slaver episode because it's called the Slaver Weapon. But it's cool. I like the LED holder. If you're looking for a cool way to make an LED holder, this is a neat way to do it. It prints without any supports. And it makes it so that you can still fit a USB cable under here. And all these JSD connectors. So it's really nice to use JSD connectors with props because then you can, you don't have to worry about threading things. Like panel mounting things, threading it through and then soldering it. This makes you can disconnect all the connections. So that is a work in progress. Updates to the ray gun. Give us some time to release the Learn Guide video for this. Because there's still lots of work to do on documenting it. But yeah, it's like a 1950s style spaceship. Ray gun. Looks like from Futureama. Yeah, feels really good. I really like that 30, 15 degree angle that makes it look like a ray gun. So there you go. That is what we're prototyping. Fun, fun. Okay, now we can do shop talk. So for shop talk, we have, I think two things. All right, what do we have? Well, I wanna show you all the CAD stuff. Yeah, I wanna show you all the 3MF. So there's this video that came up by Kevin Kennedy. Kevin Kennedy does a lot of Fusion 360 tutorials and he made a really good video on like seven reasons why you should switch from STL files to 3MF files. So I have started exporting 3MF files for our stuff. The first one being the LED glasses. So I have a link here to the LED glasses model, which is on our eight different CAD parts and GitHub repository. You can see we got a 3MF. One of the benefits of 3MF is that it is, well, first of all, the file format is open source. Second, it's like half the size of a STL file. Another thing that makes it really good is that it actually has metadata associated to it. So if you have like support material or color information or more slicer information, it will retain that in your 3MF, which is really, really cool. Prusa printers did a video similar about a year ago, but at that time, 3MF export wasn't a thing for Fusion 360. But with their latest updates, it is a thing. It's a basically default now. And I, for like at least a week, I've been switching that dropdown from exporting a 3MF to STL and just kept doing that over and over again. And then this video comes up, like Kevin Kennedy, I'm like, hey, finally, I got some reasons to finally switch over. I'm still going to offer STLs because Tinkercad, really it is Tinkercad. I even asked Tinkercad like, hey, can you, you guys, they said, yes, we will, we'll look into it. And MacOS doesn't fully support it, but Windows 10 does. Windows 10 has a native built-in and it gives you thumbnails and Windows 10 has like a built-in 3D viewer, which is really cool. So if you're on Windows 10, like 3MF just works out of the box. Just real quick to test this in the new update. Yeah, nice deals. And then there's 3MF. 3MF, nope, not yet. It shows up as like a flash print. So slicers like Cura, Flashprint, Prusa, and I hope Slicer all support it, but don't quote me on that, but I'm sure Cura and Prusa Slicer definitely support 3MF. And if you go to the website, 3MF, they have like this nice PDF, they tell you things about it, and there's like a little chart here that, here's 3MF, it has a Unicode aware, contains support structures, has textures, full color capability. It's unit aware, which means like it knows if it's millimeters or inches, unlike an STL, and it says it's always print ready, which I think is funny. But look at that, like a three megabyte, or rather a 15 megabyte STL, whereas a 3MF is just three megabytes, so that's awesome. And there's quite a few companies that are contributing to it, and it's an open source format, Stratasys, Ultimaker, Prusa, Prusa should be in here, but they're not, but Autodesk, HP, GE, 3D systems, they all, even Microsoft, they're all, and Siemens, they're all supporting it shapeways too. So yeah, check it out, and check out that video by Kevin Kennedy, I think he does a really good job of breaking it down. And I'll give the Prusa a video of Watch 2. It's a year old, but hey, it's very valid. You know, top of your head, Stuart is asking if it works in a Simplify 3D. Probably not. Sorry. I have not tried it. I haven't used Simplify. You know, I haven't even installed it on, yeah. Oh, dang, we'll try it out. We'll test it out. We've switched it, yeah. Pure up for a little bit now. Yeah, they started implementing all of the things we used Simplify for, like the custom supports. The custom supports was a huge one. Yeah, that was one of the big things. And it's open source and free to download. Yeah, started making it hard to get all of the, they actually told us to remove our profiles. Oh, it reminds me. It's like, oh, guys, come on. Yeah, we respectfully declined. Yeah, okay. So yeah, check it out, 3MF, it's a new file format. But don't worry, I'm still going to export STLs because Tinkercad. Yep. Tinkercad, don't forget. It's coming. It might be a little bit more harder now because they're not in the same office. You know, they're probably still remote. But before, they would, the Fusion team and Tinkercad team were like, you know. I don't know if FreeCad has support for it or export support. I don't know, but like I said, you keep your eye on it if you're not sure. It's gonna be starting to be supported because it's, to me, it affects me personally. Because like, yo, I use Fusion 360 and when I export, it's always the 3MF by default. And that's good. I'm gonna export both of them for now. I'm all down for new workflows and having all that metadata in there is super helpful. Yeah. Thingiverse supports 3MF, right? You can see here in the downloads file, they support 3MF just fine. Even though they don't have it listed as a supported file format, I was surprised to see that it uploaded it fine. Very cool. And the Prusa printers website, they've been supporting 3MF since the beginning and they, like I said, made that video and they have like thumbnails and all this. That's how all of you get generated. My favorite feature I think is having the supports in there because that's one of the things I'm always like bummed out about when I have to export stuff is like, oh man. So let's see if it was like a custom support that I built into and it's like, how do I give this out to people? And my only solution has been to like make a gif of like where the supports are. So you can at least see where I put everything. And the Prusa video, they show you that a project file is the 3MF file. They didn't have to come up with a new file format. Yeah, yeah, that's actually how- And it's the same thing with Prusa or Mercura. Their project files are also 3MF. That's really awesome. Which again, it's like when you're doing like custom sizing and like having the layouts be like this weird angle that makes the print like that much better. It's definitely metadata that you want to be able to share. The actual slice settings get saved to it, which is really, really good. Yeah, yeah, so then- Yeah, that is really good. Because then you have to keep importing new profiles which is baked in, but still modifiable, right? That's actually the reason why I list all of the different support settings because I can't save that out. Yeah, so it's a whole new world with 3MF. What did you get it out? Any more comments on 3MF? Ah, let's see, we're just saying that. Right, just to confirm like- AMF. Is AMF the same thing? AMF? I have no idea. So it's PrusaSlicer has an export to AMF, but he doesn't see 3MF. Prusa, what happened? I thought they were doing- But like I saw their video and they were like, hey. Yeah, that's the only thing missing from Cura that I use PrusaSlicer for. Actually slicing an object. Oh, the mesh. No, where you just slice a thing off. That's what I'm saying, the mesh tools or something? Smech slicer, yeah. Yeah, they have a really nice one. If you want to chop the bottom of a prank or something. Yeah, still early days of supporting 3MF, I guess, but hey, Fusion- Coming soon. Yeah, it just started doing it, so. For everyone else, yeah. All right, cool. Second thing I think is- Shop talk? Was it the whippersnapper? It was the whippersnapper. Yeah, so that's actually what I've been working on. All right, super sneak peek. Yeah, I think Brent's been showing it off, but yeah, that's what I've been working on. We're trying to have it ready for this week, but there's some bugs. Start from the beginning. What is whippersnapper? Whippersnapper is a super easy way to, no coding required to hook up your, variety of Wi-Fi boards to read sensors, like a beam breaker, a power strip, or like a- A sensor, like a temperature sensor. Temperature sensor, humidity sensor. Temperature sensor, humidity, like a trip sensor. Approximity sensor. So all of those where you just plug it in using Adafruit IO, and it recognizes what that sensor is and lets you, with no coding, just select some dropdowns in actions and triggers. So in the example, I don't think we have the video loaded, but the example, you can go like into the mag tag or the pie portal. We have- So you'll plug it in. Like a door. And whippersnapper will know, it'll detect all the onboard sensors and connectors. So all the libraries, all of the firmware that you're gonna need to have that working with getting online. So it inputs all of your Wi-Fi credentials and your Adafruit IO login. And it'll be able to make dashboards and like I was saying before, pick like a sensor or a component. So if you click on components, and this is all the components that it lets you work with. For now, you guys just added like a bunch of iSquared C sensors. So that is coming like within like probably next week, I think is what they're working on. Yeah, like LEDs, push buttons, toggles, pathogenometers, PIRs, relays, power switches, reads, light sensors, beam, water sensors. And we show a couple of these demos off in the video. And you just select that and it lets you, it gives you like which pins are available on the specific board. Whippersnapper knows the profile for the mag tag, for example. It knows that there's some buttons there and it knows that there's these ports like the, and they're built in LED. And you can use these all just by clicking in the dropdown. So if you wanted, so with boards like a mag tag, you simply just plug it in. So no soldering required. We're trying to make it so easy to be able to use internet of thing, Wi-Fi boards with a sensor. So you don't have to program anything. You don't have to like compile all these, you know, firmwares and figure out all this craziness just to get a simple door switch or the most powerful one that I like right here is that we should have hooked it up. It's in the other room. Yeah, it's not turned on. The power switch, so you can like control a lamp from the internet and it automatically. Or anything that's plugged into the power. Yep, anything that's plugged into it. Yeah, that's great. And, you know, you can have multiple devices. Here's the PY Portal. Let's say I wanted to add a new component or modify the alert LED. Here are all the pins that are available on it. And you can plug in whatever sensor to these ports on the PY Portal. And there's a bunch of that you can do too. And there's, you know, more components being added. I really want Neopixel support so that I can do some Neopixel projects. But yeah, this is kind of your device page or your device list and then your device page. So we're going to support the ESP32 and the ESP8266. Is that right? It is. 8266? Not at launch, but it's coming. Yeah, it's coming. And you can add it to your dashboard or see the feeds. It's kind of see the log of when things changed. But yeah, it's just a great... And if you're not familiar with I-O, you can check out i-o.aderfood.com. And there's like a video that explains all the awesome things you're able to do with internet-connected devices. You can be a part of the beta if you... I think you literally have to, like, tag... I think you have to tag Brent on the dashboard. Yeah, if he's going, then he'll sign you up. Sorry. I don't know the bull. I see stuff going on in the Slack. I'm like, whoa, cool. More updates coming out. So that's Whippur Snapper, sneak peek. We'll be making a video next week. Next week. Now the actual launch will be, I hope, next week. Right, it'll be public next week. With some learn guides as well. Dylan Harada is working on some learn guides. Yes, I think she has a couple of them that I follow to set all this up. But it's super simple. And yeah, I'm freaking hyped about this because the designer video guy can figure out all this without any coding, setting up sensors, doing like a simple door trigger, like alarm, and then like a water sensor thing, hooking all that stuff up. It's so awesome if you can do that. It's going to open up so much accessibility for folks now with the I.O. Oh, and Mark Gambler is saying that, yeah, it's on a help with the AidFruit I.O. channel. There you go, thank you. Is where you can tag. I think Mark is a beta member as well, so thank you for testing it out and being the first to try it out and find all the bugs because there are some bugs. They just fixed a couple last night even. Yeah, she had to learn. Finish up this video. Yeah, all I.O. Wi-Fi boards was what's going on. Big, big deal. It's like when Scott figured out getting USB mass storage working in Astro-Copython, this is another one of those like. It's groundbreaking. Yeah, it expands to how many people are able to use this, which of course, always for figuring out more features and bugs and things like that, it definitely helps in making this way better. Yeah, very cool. Coming soon. Coming soon, and then just shop talk. Excellent. All right, this week, we have some community to make. Every Tuesday, we 3D print something from the community. This week, it's a mask. Yeah, so this is a really cool mask. Continue on with the Halloween. I think this today, is it today, the first day of autumn? We're finally gonna get like cooler, cooler temperatures here in Florida, 70 degrees. So this is a Ghost in the Shell inspired mask? Yeah. So this is, as you can tell by the model wearing, and when I put it on my head, it is completely scaled up, and it's a nice, creepy, like Android looking mask. Comes with like these little tags on the side so you can attach a piece of like band or nylon or something. But really cool texture on it. I did use that trick that I was just talking about with slicer, Prusa Slicer, where I cut this right up there. So it is completely fell out on the bed because there is like this curvature on the top here. And I really like the modeling in this. Like it's, what is this called? Where it's like dented out. Yeah, it's a shelled. It's like shelled, really shelled perfectly. Like it fits like your eyes, your nose, your mouth. So a very good modeling with this. It's all nice and smooth. And yeah, just really like textures on it and the creepy look. And I'll just put this on. You can see how much the scaling that I did on this. It's huge. It looks like a baby face or something. But everything lines up. I'm able to see. And I can kind of see my eyes there. Yeah, nice Android looking mask. This is from Ghost in the Shell. I'm thinking it's like where, I think it goes right in the intro shot where she's getting like the skin like added, where the Android is getting, the major is getting the skin, I guess attachment or whatever. The thing of her speech is having some issues loading the images. Yeah, it sometimes does. It's from Elvis, is the fellow's name. So shout out to Elvis for releasing this as a free model. You can download it here. And well, like I said, they won't load, but that's, we'll have a link in the description. Well, there's the proof it does work. It looks great. I forgot what the settings. It took a little bit to print just because of the scaling that I did on it. And yeah, you shot it with like some LEDs. And yeah, you can definitely attach LEDs right here. Have to be like a creepy mask, like outside for the trigger triggers. Decor. Nice, glowing illumination on there for the facial features. You know what, it's been like that since, like even when I downloaded it, I wasn't able to see. Yeah, I know. Sort of the things where it's like, I'm gonna have to trust this work. But here is the proof that it comes out beautifully. Like all of the, what is it called? The geometry. It's nice and smooth. It's not like pixelated at all. Like everything is like pretty high quality. And then somebody in the comments was saying, yeah, it'd be cool if you could like chop all this up and have like servos put it together. Like it does. Oh right, this is supposed to break apart in the movie. I haven't seen the Goose and Shamu movie with Scarlett Johansson. I haven't seen it. Super cool. Oh yeah, they did do a remake. Should watch that now. Is it on HBO plus? We should watch it. Somewhere, yeah. It's somewhere. Yeah, it's a really cool upgrade. Do that, have some servos, put the face together. Okay. No comments on the mask. It's too creepy for folks, I think. Ooh, yeah, that's a good idea. Connor is saying that a EL wire and the seams. Yeah, they will look really neat. I think that's what we have to do. Very cool. All right, well, that's this week's Time Ops Tuesday. We got, and I'm jealous of Connor's 59 degrees for their cold front that already rolled in. Very cool. Okay. And I think that's it for our community makes. We got some. That's it. Let's see, check on the notes. No, that's it. I think that is, oh no, for like other stuff. I believe that is it. Oh, the other prototyping thing. Probably too late, right? Yeah, 10 minutes. Yeah, we can close off the show. All right, so later tonight, we're gonna be hosting Show and Tell. That's right, come on by. We invite you to come on and share your progress, projects, retro gear, all this fair game. It's every Wednesday, 7.30 p.m. Eastern time. And then shortly after that, Lamar and Phil, full hour of Asken Engineer, open source hardware, new products, Circuit Python on hardware, I on MPI, and then the new products at the end. So check that. Oh, I mean. Questions. Questions at the end. I mean, it's called Ask Engineer. So you ask the engineer at the end of the show. So I answer the questions at the end. That's right. So come on by, we're hosting Show and Tell. So I'm 30 p.m. So. We'll post the StreamYard link in the discord at discord.gg slash Adafruit a couple of minutes before the Show and Tell starts so we can get all that loaded in. All right. And then tomorrow, we get John Park's workshop every Thursday at 4 p.m. Eastern time. Check it out with John Park. Awesome. He's ramping up for, and thanks to Duestru corrected us. It is Adabox 20. Oh, it's 20, yeah. Last time it was the 19. He'll be ramping up, getting ready for the projects for the next Adabox. They're super cool. Yes, check it out. Get subscribed if you're not already. Yeah. And then on Friday, Scott's on Friday every 2 p.m. Pacific time or 5 p.m. Eastern time. You can get a full hour plus of Scott doing some live deep diving on Circuit Python C and other awesome, awesome stuff. So check out Scott every Friday, 5 p.m. Eastern time. And then circling back around and Sundays is from the desk of Lady Aida where she does the great search on Sundays, hacker hours. On Mondays, it's the Circuit Python meeting. Every Monday at 2 p.m. Eastern time. Tuesdays is John Park's product pick. Although week every Tuesday at 4 p.m. Eastern time or 1 p.m. Pacific time. This week, John had the Neo Trellis. He had a really fun musical demo that he was playing with. And there's lots of fun projects. And it was 50% off the Neo Trellis. Gee, mind-blowing. Only place to get such a huge discount. That's why the emoji face is there. Yeah, only during the show. So it only lasts for, what is it, like a half hour of... Is it last this week? Sorry, I looked at the comment from DeWester. JP's Tuesday shows are costing me a fortune. Well, it's only half a fortune that it's costing me. Can you imagine if you just take your fortune and double it and then you look at original cost? But thank you for supporting us, DeWester. You are keeping us afloat. And then we do the show every Wednesday. In the morning at 11 a.m. Eastern time. Where would you look at the time? I'm hungry. Yeah. This has been 3D Hangouts. Thank you all for joining. Every single week we'll be here later tonight. It's just... But until then... Remember to make a great day. I gotta go. Bye, folks. See you later tonight.
