 Hey, what's up folks? Welcome back to another 3D Hangouts. My name is Noir O'ez. I'm a designer here at Adafruit and joining me every week is my brother Pedro. Good morning, everyone. I'm Pedro. I'm the creative tech here at Adafruit, and every week we're here to share 3D-printed projects featuring electronics from Adafruit. That's right. This is where we combine 3D printing and DOI electronics to make inspirational projects. That is right. We are back after... It feels like a month. It feels like a month. Yeah. Welcome back, everybody. We hope you are doing well, staying safe in this very hot summer, if you are in the hemisphere of summers. But yeah, it's good to be here if you'd like to join us during the show. If you're watching on other social channels, you can join us in the live broadcast chat room in our Discord server. The link for that is discord.tg-slash-adafruit. So if anyone has any shout-outs or anything, go ahead and pull them in there, and we'll... Well, you can see it there in the screencast. We'll do our usual thing where we kind of do the housekeeping in the morning, and then we'll jump into this week's fun, exciting project. It combines a couple of different things. So yeah, hello, everyone. Good morning. Give a shout-out to everybody hanging out in all the chat rooms we were hanging out in the YouTube chat. Good morning. Conor, David Smith. We're also in the Discord at discord.tg-g-slash-adafruit. Give a shout-out to everybody hanging out in there. Where is my tie? Good morning. Andy Callaway. Good morning, Jim. Herrickson. Liz is in the house. Hello. Andy Callaway. And Duester. Good morning. 29 C. Where Andy's at right now. Yes, back after... Oh man, the COVID finally got me. So we were down for a little bit as it passed through the whole family. You were out on vacation, so you had to stay a couple extra weeks to make sure we didn't affect you. But here we are. We're still getting some projects out. Still got the blogs and all that going. Let's get started with the show. Okay. Well, if anyone has questions about the stuff, you can... 29 C is 84 degrees. I wish it was 84. 88 right now, but it feels like it's 100. Get up to 90 down here in the fine fair Orlando area. Okay. Well, we'll do the housekeeping stuff. We'll jump back into the chat. All right. So we're not free. Yeah. We got some free stuff. You head on over to Adafruit.com. A slash free PC pay. If you spend $149, you'll get that half-size breadboard plus an Adafruit KB2040. That's perfect for doing keyboard related projects. It's in that Arduino Nano format. And if you spend $200 or more, you'll get the KB2040, the half-size Super Proto and free ground shipping for US continental. That's UPS shipping. And for orders that are $299 or more, you get the free shipping, you get the KB2040, the half-size Super Proto, and the Circuit Playground Express, which is an awesome board that has lots of fun goodies in it, lots of sensors, Neopixels, CapTouch, BigPan, which is really nice.

You can subscribe to the show on your favorite podcasting services. So check that out. Thanks, Project. All right. People are saying that YouTube is buffering, but I don't see it on my end. Oh, it does. Maybe try it. This is not enough video to maintain smooth streaming. Try Twitch. Open the thing. That seems to be looking pretty good. It says that streaming quality is poor. I'm going to double check that I'm on studio to yes. It could be just YouTube servo servo servos. We're posting on the other channels. Check it out. On Twitch. On Twitter, Twitch, LinkedIn, and Facebook. So those are all fair. And we just as a background, we use the ReStream iOS for letting us know. Do Westerns on Twitch? Cool, cool. All right. Okay. A tip from Ali, from Ann Calaway says you can drop the resolution in YouTube and that tends to help a little bit. And there it goes again. Ha ha. Well, you know, it's a part of doing these live streams. All right. Let's go ahead and jump in for a demo project. Yeah. So this week's project was a fun idea from Lady Aida herself. She thought it'd be cool to use analog feedback servos to make a sort of a modern take on a two-way communication system. So for the design, I got inspired by different gauges and somehow I stumbled upon a device called a ship engine telegraph. And I remembered, oh yeah, I remember those scenes in the Titanic movie where the captain would use this thing where he would, it was a handle and he would pull the ship to know how fast they want to go, a dead stop, a full stop, et cetera. And I was like, this is such a cool retro device. Like it'd be neat to kind of add those design elements into this project because it's kind of what it needs to be. So an analog feedback servo is kind of the hero of this thing, a half a circle. And what everything I've known about servos is that you never should really move the servo, the shaft of the servo. But this one, it's like, yeah, go for it. So it has this kind of superpower where it has an extra fourth wire and that fourth wire is a built-in potentiometer. So it's able to know what position it's in. So it's a bit of like a positioning sensor in that sense. So we have two of these. And the idea is that they're both connected over Adafruit IO, Adafruit IO is being used as the broker to send and receive the data, you know, the servo position, basically. And then in order to let the program know when it's being held and touched, we're using a piece of copper tape as a touch input sensor. And that that takes me to the main dev board for this one is the ESP32-S2, that's the QTPI format. And it's running circuit Python. And it has built-in capacitive touch. So there's no extra circuitry needed because it's built into the ESP chip. So here's the back of the build X pin on the QTPI there. So the idea is you have two of these in two different rooms. So you can keep track of your friends' activities. Maybe you want to get together for a taco. So I hold it down, let go. And then it's sending the data, the position of the servo over Adafruit IO as a feed. And then this guy picks it up. So they're pretty much running the same amount of code. There's just the difference between the two is that they have a little bit of difference in the middle of the maximum calibration value. So you do have to calibrate these servos to get them in the right positions. So sometimes it won't be perfect. You just got to kind of adjust the value if you want to make it perfect. All right, let's say you want to go out for a walk. So I can move it to the, you know, two different locations, two different Wi-Fi networks, and they still talk to each other because it's using the same Adafruit IO kind of account. So let's do the next one. So I took 180 degrees and I segmented it off by five. So yeah, there it goes. Give it a minute. I think I gave it a false reading. It'll kick back. It wants to go for a walk now. That's great. Yes, I think the slower you go, you give it a second to kind of go. There it goes. So then if you wanted to move this one, let's say person on the other end wants to go for a coffee. So I'm going to go all the way to coffee and hey, it's working. Yay. So there's a lot of fun designing around this servo. And I quickly found any time I'm designing elements for a servo, it's almost always better to design your custom horn and attach it to the stock horns that it comes with. So thankfully, this servo comes with like three different styles of horns. And the disc one, this disc shaped horn ended up being the best because it kind of matches the design of this, of this horn. One of the things I found is like, it's really kind of, you know, there's a lot of give on that. So if you were to make this project, there was a pulveric on the back and that would give you like super sturdiness. And if you look at real ship engine telegraphs, they kind of have that set up where there's two, there's two points here. And it just gives you no play. So you have a really rigid thing. But as a prototype, it's something that's easy to print in like a couple of hours. This design ended up working really well. So the frame, the plate, all of those snap fit together so they can still kind of come apart. And then there's just this base plate here that kind of stands it up, right? So if you want to adjust this, you can just print this piece again and adjust the angle if you want to do a different viewing angle. And the fun bit was like these these icons here, this is just a piece of sticker paper. And I just printed it out on some project ink or sticker paper. So these are emojis. And it's using the open source emoji font. So you can change these out if you wanted to do some different type of activity or maybe some letters instead. And I just thought it was neat to kind of put this as a label and something. So I figured it's two hands. And you know, it's it's it's lovely. Go for a movie. And I guess for power, I'm just running them off of this little battery bank because it's easier that way. But the the QT Pi powers very well off of you as a theater. But if you wanted to have plugged into the wall outlet, it would work just fine with any of those like battery power supplies. I mean cell phone power supplies, like a five volt dilly. So that's the project in a nutshell. We just published the learn guide earlier this morning. So folks want to check out more about the servo, the analog feedback servos. Andy thinks that the real ones ring a bell when you move them. So you'll know so right there would be like bling. Right. Huh. Very cool. Give it a second to if you go. Yeah. There it goes. Yeah. So this is a lot of fun. Check it out. Very kind of modular design. The way that this frame snaps to the to the to the faceplate is with these like tabs and there's these little circles that kind of bump into them. It's kind of neat. And then I'm just using regular screws and built-in standoffs to the front plate for this. I was able to find a 3D model on GrabCAD of this analog feedback servo. So I was able to get the position of the of the of the shaft of the motor like precise and of course the mounting tabs. So that all worked out really well. I could have spent a little bit more time designing like a thing in the background, but it's a prototype and it's kind of just proving the concept and alignment. But I think it's good for what it is. Very cool. Yeah. These are fun. I haven't seen any other projects with the analog feedback servo. So pretty neat. I've seen there's other. Yeah. We've got them out of sync now. There you go. Yeah. So that's what you can do if it gets out of sync. Just to quit little little nudge. Yeah. It's maybe we could write some logic to avoid spamming, but it's all customizable. You can change the delays from between sending and receiving the data. So you can always do that. Yeah. So it's supposed to be like a telegraph. So it's supposed to be like on Titanic. So like the lower deck or the higher deck would communicate with the lower deck what they want to do in terms of like a household. You know, it's lunchtime. You can tell the kids. That's a good idea. Time to eat kids. Yeah. Some little little love taps. It's a nice little way to communicate between floors. Yeah. Or offices. I didn't think of that. Yeah. It's a good idea. You know how like in the office right at what is it right at five o'clock the fill rings the bell and so instead of doing that you can have something where it would be like a giant version of that that would ding and then go it's like no I like to stay in the love. Oh yeah. Let him figure out like what's going on. Okay. Cool. So we'll take a quick brief look at the learn guide and we'll take any questions as they come in. Elizabeth saying that the cap touch can sometimes get interference from the servo. That's right. So you want to keep your wire away from the servo. I think that's one thing or you could wrap some cap around it. Yeah. There was a lot of ideas that you guys were talking about like you wanted to mill something or the conductive filament. But it's only one color and it's very limited and it could be abrasive to your nozzle. So we thought copper tape was just the best way. It has the self adhesive. It has adhesive already on the strip and it worked out well for like the copper look of the handle. Yeah. The copper totally matches especially this one right here. Yeah. This is some really nice copper filament. This is more of like a gold filament. I really like the silky gold stuff. And now with that PEI powder coated bed for your printer, you get such a lovely texture that really adds depth to your part. Yeah. Like the it's like a teal. Yeah. You know everything's not fits. There's some screws here and there. But everything prints without any supports, which is always a good thing. And yeah, you can theme it out to whatever if you want to build your own. And all the files are up there. So yeah. Yanni says perfect for food ordering for the food train to deliver. So it's a good way to remember we used to have back in the day their office jobs. We would have the little randomizer to pick like what food physical should tag a geed in it. Like bro, we have a physical one. Maybe it could be like what type of music are you into right now? It's a good idea. I want to hear some metal. I want to hear some lo-fi hip hop. That was really fast that time. Yeah. All right. Let's check. Maybe the it looks like the streams are all good now. Way more high quality. I mean, it goes up and down. Yeah. There's a couple people on Twitch saying doesn't work. I sent them over to YouTube. So I'm like cross sending people. People on Twitch, I would send a YouTube on YouTube. I would send them to Twitch to check out the stream. Someday we'll be on TikTok live. Not today. All right. So head over to the Learn Guide. Take it out. You see all the products that are used in this. That USB 32 S2 is quite a doozy. Check it out. It's in stock right now. Really nice form factor. You got 13 GPIO and Wi-Fi. You got the STEM bus. You can easily plug in a sensor without any soldering. Really, really nice. The analog feedback servos are out of stock, but here's a secret. If you go to the product page, there's a big buy on DigiKey button. Let's see if DigiKey has it in stock. Click on the product and they have about nine in stocks. If you really want to get one, you can get it through DigiKey and they ship very, very fast on all over the world. You know what? There's also different sizes of the analog feedback servo. So if you scroll down, well, definitely check out these videos from Colin. This is a really good overview of just the analog feedback servo. He's using it to record kind of almost like if you were to record an animatronic movement and play it back on the same servo. He does a little breakdown. He takes it apart, shows up. There's a potentiometer in there and that's what the white wire is. Very cool. Back servo. Super just getting started. You want some demo code for CirclePython or do we know this kind of prerequisite guy who covers all the things about the analog feedback servo? For the down, you see that we do have different versions of it. There are micro servos, which I think would have worked fine on this one. But we do have the micro servos and the only difference between these two is one's a metal gear and the other one's a plastic gear. Depending on what you're trying to do, if you want it to have more weight or more torque, you want to go with the metal one. Look at that. That's a nice grease there. But they all are going to work about the same 180 degrees. All good stuff. So we have data sheets on that too. Copper tape. Love this stuff. We have a roll of it. Again, it has the adhesive is conductive, which it definitely matters to have conductivity in that glue. So that's good for all these type of cap touch projects. We got some screws. It's a good point because otherwise it'd be insulated from it. Yeah, you're right. Picker one if you want to do like really big pads and it also has the adhesive and they're in stock right now. So you can get a roll of this stuff and yeah. The only thing, yeah, I was going to say, I don't like that it's oxidized. It looks fine. Some silicone wire for the copper tape and a handful of screws, an A4 size or whatever somewhere else. And that's really the homepage. So circuit diagram just walks you through all the wired connections. All the CAD files are up there. If you want to get the source file, it's set up as a step. So you can check those out. I also have STLs which you want to print it. And the STLs are oriented to print as is, which is a really nice thing. You're going to need a build volume of at least 110 cubed. So kind of a mid range printer. Yeah, 110. And then the label and the graphics. So I was able to get a nice DXF export from the Fusion 360 model. And then I used Illustrator. But you can use Inkscape or any of the other open source tools to kind of rework the graphics. So I'm using a graphics editor. Or maybe you can use an online tool. But just one note, when you're printing it out, just be sure that you're not scaling it when you're printing because printers tend to like to scale to fit to fill up the whole page. So just make sure when you're printing that it's not scaling the graphics. And I have it as a PDF, as the SVG, and as the original DXF. So if any of those formats don't fail, one of the other ones should. And then if you want to get the 3D models of the electronics, we have a dedicated GitHub repo with all of the 3D models of the parts, namely the Qtpy, ESP32S2. And that's pretty much the CAD page. So all the source files are there. And then you can do a double tap reset to get the board in the bootloader mode. And you can install the stable or the latest or the beta version if you want to try out. The code for this project was done by Liz Clark. So shout out to Liz for putting together the code. It's very well documented. You'll want to change out which server was number one and number two. Just be sure to uncomment this and make one true and one false. So you'll want to calibrate one first and then calibrate the second one. So it's kind of neat. And down here you can see the minimum and the maximum values for calibrating it. And then you can change out the Adafruit IO feeds, names if you'd like, but we just kind of generically named it touch one and touch two. And then you can set up the pins right here. It's so lovely. I love certified line. You can just read it. It's really great. If you wanted to lower the time for pinging IO, you can change that. But I think we have it set to five seconds, which is fairly well. And yeah, check it out. You could always use the project bundle as well. If you just want to download motor Adafruit requests and simple IO for doing, I guess the PWM stuff. And then because it's Adafruit IO, you have a secrets file. So you want to generate your own secrets file. And you should be able to do this with the free account for Adafruit IO. Stuff and that's all in the secrets file. So you have to generate that. I don't think that's a part of the bundle. So if you are doing that and with any IoT project, that's the way to do it. You just want to get your secrets file. And then let's do a great job of breaking down all the code here. So, so you know how to do it. You can see here the feeds, you have an out feed in the church state. So it's all there. On to the wiring. This is fun. The headers are those jumper cables. If you're prototyping, I would say keep them. But if you're doing a bill, then you don't want to cross the weight straight straight to it. I want to check it out. Just the yeah, it's the PID just so we could cover it. It's in stock. It's a PID. Come on. Tell me 5514. Yeah, not that one. The other one. This one is 5515. Yeah, but you still got to plug it in to that's why I'm saying this one because it plugs into the oh, I see what you mean. Yeah, this is good. If you would need like females headed, right, attached it like that, like a header. Yeah, I mean, you could do that talking about. So yeah, all of the servers are going to come with, with those those socket headers. But I'm just sorry to do the pens on the Qtify just to kind of keep the low keep it a low profile and whatnot. So we walk through that the copper tape, you can solder to it just be really quick. Yeah, it's awesome. Burn off the the back, but I had to make two of them. And that was easy enough. So you just want to do it like on the edge, because then I like that it wraps back around it and it kind of hides the solder bridge. And then just solder that up to the pins that we set up in the code. And that's kind of it for that. For the assembly, you want to start off with like the handle. So this handle prints upside down, because the tip is flat. And then you want to wrap that around the handle. But being in mind of where the wire is going to be, because I wouldn't want the the wire to be in the front. So you just kind of did, you could always, I guess, move it because there's a screw that ties to the to the to the handle. So there's three parts to the handle you have. And then you're going to use the hardware that came with that servo because it has like these pointy screw threads that kind of tap into the print and the injection molded horn. So once that's set up, we can attach the servo horn or the servo itself to the front plate with some screws. At this point, you want to put the label on and then you'll want to snap fit that into the frame. And the frame snaps into kind of the the bezel here. So those are all these little things aligned with how it's supposed to go. Yep. And then just a note that when you place the the servo horn assembly onto the shaft of the motor, you're going to want to have to refit it a few times to calibrate it. So you want that that way you'll be able to know where's the maximum there's like degree zero where's the 180 degrees. So you'll have to fuss with that a little bit. But that's kind of the name of the game when you're when you're calibrating servos. And then the QT pie has its own little built-in snap fit holder. I always print out these little holders for the for the QT pie because where's my camera? Because a lot of the times like if I were to print this big thing with these tabs built in, you wouldn't be able to flex it. And the idea is that these little 3d printed holders allow you to flex the holder so that you can squeeze the corners into these little tabs and then just press fit the other corners in there. And then you have this opening down here that allows, you know, to flex. So it's always easier to kind of have a separate retainer for your PCB and then have mounting tabs for the bigger thing. So let's say I wanted to print this again, now I don't have to worry about, you know, that's my top reason for why. Yeah. So I try to make everything modular. So this is a good thing for that. And of course, this one had to be custom to the ESP32S too because it has an extra circuitry under the PCB. So if I wanted to pop this out, I have to take these out and then take that out and then kind of flex it open. But it's all apart of the STLs we need downloaded if you want to grab this. You can see there's a little notch or something right here that had to be pulled in so that the component at the bottom would uh, would fit and not get chewed off or whatever. Yep, every time. Every little project has to require a difference in the way that the geometry is laid out just because it is one little resistor. The original one I made for this was for the RP2040 and it doesn't have those extra, you know, ICs on the bottom. But there you go. It's called job security. And then the usage page. Shout out to Liz for putting this one together and just kind of talks about how you would use it. So we're using this for doing some communications between floors and whatnot. Is it taco time yet? Yes. To send this to the office. I'm sure there's something like Garrett or something could use. Oh, no, we have leak. So check out the guide. It is live. This week's project. All right, do we have enough time? I kind of mostly showed it off last week. The last week's project was simply just showing that you can still scan stuff with the photos and stuff. Yeah, for this, it's pretty much a show in the detail of how good the server, serve, not servos, whatever servers that they're using, whatever algorithms, servers that Polycam is using to process all these photos. I'd like to note that Polycam is exclusive to iOS. I didn't know that. It's Android or just the web. Yeah, you can use it on the web. The mobile app is literally just a photo uploader and viewer. It's not doing anything on your phone. You're doing it on their servers. I also follow a lot of the VFX artists and they tend to use the VFX for every shoot they do. They just get a quick Polycam scan of the for continuity or just reference for blocking shots for doing your HDR, your domes for doing your global illumination. And the one that really got me was this one right here. There was a little kid. This was at Disney where I took all these. Of course, it's crowded with people jumping all over the thing. It got all the detail. I didn't get any photos of the back. There's a pillar back here. How did it know? You can see the tail. You can kind of see where the pillar bumps up against the tail and it got all that. Look at this fear. It's freaking so good. It's really cool that you be able to... Because when you're there, these are ginormous. These are huge. They probably had to have it brought in there in pieces and how big this is. Yeah, so you can really step back and appreciate all the tiny little detail. Oh yeah, there are supports all over this guy. I didn't want to chop them up into different pieces. All these had supports. So the marble filament did a pretty good job on getting all the detail for this. Not real marble, folks. It's marble looking. There's like little speckles and stuff. Yeah, you can kind of see it there. And then these guys, yeah. So super cool to be able to photograph stuff. I think during the show until I said that, yeah, the reason why Phil wanted this is there's always like a higher level of why he wants projects in terms of the... He was at a museum and he was like, they were encouraging him to scan stuff. He's like, wait, what? That's cool. So we went down this kind of route of like, okay, let's show folks how to do that. Let's promote it more. I didn't even talk about it in the show until I don't have one to actually make a glow and you wouldn't even see it with this lighting anyway. But I have cutouts for secret playgrounds to be in there and this does a really good job. Really check out that cool web app that he has. It's on GitHub. You can add to it. And then yeah, did some... Yeah, there's no tops on that. So you can see like the infill in there to have the glowy happen in there. And then there's several ways you can do it too. Like a Buddha statue. Yeah. It's a 0% infill on that one. So you can get some nice glowy in there. And this is a glow in the dark filament. So after it's done glowing, you can still have a little bit of afterglow. So a nice way to... I'm gonna be scanning everything we go, everywhere we go. I'm gonna be scanning stuff now because it's so cool to be able to take home these because they don't sell them, which is kind of a missed opportunity, I think. Because the phone case on people would buy them out. And yeah, just a nice little reminder that hey, photo scanning is a thing. Right. Here's the two guys. Yeah, Andrew made one on doing the scales for like miniatures and stuff like that. And then mine was on doing the statues. So pretty much the same process. Yeah, using Polycam iOS, Android, web. Drones. And they took 123 photos. So the more photos you have... Detailed, that is. And you have like a little kind of turntable setup. I think you can get way more detail to have the time. Yeah. But it's cool to know that if you don't have the time, you can still get a really good model. Look at how detailed. Yeah, it's super detailed. That is so cool. It also does the texture wrapping. So it takes photos and paste it in there as a map, which is really cool. It's like, if you're doing video game design, if you're doing like we're saying the visual effects, this is so useful. And then if you want to do some low poly stuff, the low poly.xyc website, and it's really easy to use, just kind of play around with the sliders to get a desired low poly look depending on what you want. Very cool. And then your guide, Pedro, walks through using Blender. And some of the tools in Blender, it's a cleanup of a sort of quick scan. So if you quickly scan it, you're going to get something like this. This is actually the lion. You can see you can isolate the lion by just kind of making a block and then like doing a boolean to subtract from that. Just leaving the model that you want to isolate. It's a really good project for getting familiarizing yourself with Blender. You learn some cool things. I mean, that's only because I'm coming from Maya. Like, I know how things work and where the menus are. Use the fill face command to kind of fill in these holes. And then what is that tool that kind of helps you? The elastic tool, which we don't have that in Maya. There it is. The elastic deform tool. It helps you pull faces so that you can reduce the support material. So instead of being 90 degrees, some of the things like on like right here on switch. So it's not like so flat. You're pulling the sound. I'm pulling out like the neck. It's like you're sculpting the polygons. Yeah. And beyond that too, which I did not cover because that would be another rabbit hole that's on the purpose. Doing joints. So you're doing inverse kinematics. So you're making a skeleton. So you can actually go in there and reposition your model. That's cool. That's what I went to school for, for doing 3D animation. So I know how to do all that. But that starts veering off what the whole project was about. So I didn't want to go into that. But that will make a game. No, I mean, it's for like statues. If you don't like the way their position is, you can go ahead and reposition them. So that's like, you know, extra credit, rabbit hole that the users can go down because it's definitely super handy. We'll do that. So yeah, we're going to try out using Blender and more projects. So it's a fun thing. And that's last week's project. Yay, some 3D scans and modifying them. All right, cool. Cool, cool. All right, let's go ahead and jump into this week's, what are we? Oh, prototyping? Yeah. Oh crap. Yeah, I'm thinking like the show's over. No, we have about 20 minutes. Okay. So what are we prototyping? So Lamar wants to do a DIY. Let's go ahead and jump over to the white angle. We purchased our camo studio so we can do things like this now. Switch between the mobile phones lenses. Yeah, so Lamar wanted a DIY Pi 400. Well, it doesn't have to be a Pi. It could be for any of the single board computers that are out there since pies are a little hard to get. So this is what I came up with. It's a nice little case that encloses your single board computer with all of your ports and everything hanging out there. Then you still have access to your controls for your keyboard. What are these called like little ledges so that it doesn't fall all the way through. You have a nice little clearance so that you don't have, you know, any of this metal touching the shields on the Is it real metal? It's plastic. I mean, this right here. Which one? This right here. That might, I think it's like, I don't know. I'm not going to find out. I'm not going to chance it, but yeah, you have like a five millimeter clearance on there. So if you have like a heat sink or something and you should have enough room for that. And if you want to put like a battery in here or as I'm doing here, because I couldn't get the little, the ribbon HDMI to a micro mini? Oh yeah, yeah, your SD card. Don't take it out. Oh, no, no, I'm just popping it in there. Okay. Got pulled out a little bit. So got the HDMI cable. It's running on one of our little DIY three print enclosures for these little displays. Yeah. So this says, yep, there's a power boost backpack in there. So yeah, it's nuts. Yeah, the battery in there. So you have a nice little portable way to, you know, if you need a single board computer desktop, this is great for doing, like what we're showing out here, like video stuff. Those are always great. You can do the octoprint rig, yeah, your CNC, your laser, anything that's always good. So the pie is going to be great for that. Yeah, the pie for man, this thing is beautiful. This is wow. This is so cool. So let me get out of there. You have your whole desktop and everything in there. So So we sell the keyboard, right? We have these in stock. Keyboard, those are in stock. It's just regular, like the wireless little dongle that attaches on there. And yeah, nice little totem pole for the screen that we have as well. And that project, all things that go along with it. That's the one right there. This is a really nice trackpad. You have your touch points on it. So nice for right clicking. I guess it's running off of battery, right? Oh, yeah, there's a battery in there. You can charge the whole keyboard. Charges over USB. Yep, charges over that. It's all nice. I know, you know, pretty close to the, what is it 84 millimeter, like footprint size and the way that the arrangement of the USB. I recommend rubber Yeah, I know. It's still trying. So I still gotta figure out a, yeah, this is still prototype. I gotta figure out a way to maybe add some wedges on here so you don't have any deforming the walls. So maybe just thicken it up, maybe do like four four millimeter thickness on it. I think it's like 1.5. It's pretty thin for that. And then the other thing is this really cool wood filament that you got from Proto Pasta. Look at this. It's like a, it's called this Fresso Bean filament. It's got some gold flakes in it. It's very, very good stuff. It's not really focusing. Well, it's because it's that. Oh, the wide angle. I can switch just to get a good look at this filament. So Proto Pasta, they make fantastic filament. I really like that their spools are eco-friendly. They're just cardboard. Oh, I love that. Really nice. I don't know why maybe everyone doesn't do that. We're trying, there's a good thing going out. Like it, I would think it'd be cheaper maybe. The communities are kind of egging the people to, hey, it's about to start using them. It's so sad when you run out and you have this. Yeah, wait, look at the, you know, the layer lines on it. Yeah, it looks pretty good. So if you're looking for something nice for enclosures, we recommend this stuff. 0.25 layer height because it's just a box. Came out pretty good. Yeah, and then the bottom one is another Proto Pasta. Yeah, it's like wood. We have four different wood. We have three of them. We should get the fourth one to see what it's like. But there it is. Nice little. Proto Pasta making great filament. Nice little enclosure to make your own Reservative High 4 or single board computer with a keyboard right on top. We'll be getting a tinker board, an ASUS tinker board, so it has the exact same footprint. We'll see. Let's see. We'll adjust it to that because that's what Lamar wanted to, the very ultimate goal was just to have any. Yeah, I was looking at all those and man, they're all like back. Is it like 300 bucks? If you go to Amazon, it's like, oh my God, what happened? What happened? The part shortage. Well, from Duwester, it's got one on order. Oh, yes, it is. What you did, the red and the white one. Can you print that out? Oh, is this like a Kickstarter or something? Sorry, we're interested. The pipad family is here. Look at this style. Hey. Hey. Battery. Yeah, it's a thing. So a DIY. That's probably, I mean, Lamar comes up. That's what I was like, oh crap, when we heard that she wanted a Pi project, it's like, cool, is the lifting up? Is the part shortage coming into end? That's probably one of the reasons why. Yeah, so it's, and that's not a case scenario. Okay. Sweet. What a CM4 and IoT. Wood and keys. Yeah, I'm sure the CM4 is like way smaller. Oh, yeah, yeah. It's on the CM4. But the point was just kind of take the, your standard Pi format, design and enclosure for the keyboard. Yeah, everything will be editable. So if you need to nudge things around and make it fit. Yeah, this is probably, you know, make your own Pi 100. And then John is in here saying the elastic deform tool. Is it like soft select and Maya? I think it is. Although the behavior. Yeah, the behavior, how it works. I'm sure you could tweak the world like that. I didn't have to do any tweaking. I didn't have to select like the paint brush size. Yeah, I didn't have to do paint my weights in there or anything like that. So just the way it behaved. I mean, I'm sure that it's been updated. Maya has been updated for the behavior on that. I haven't used Maya since 2018, I think is the last version I was able to, that the license that we bought was able to let us download. It doesn't run on the M1s anymore. So it's like, oh, crap. I don't know. Blender. I know. It's so funny. Blender is so good. It runs on everything. Yeah. And it's great community. It's fast. Like it doesn't have to check your, your F. It's so giddy. Because it's like, Oh, God, you're remembering all those days. Like, Oh, no, you have to, your license has to, is your license? No, you need to log out. It's like, Oh my God, why are you using all this processing power just to find out if my light, if I spent the $6,000 or not on it, it's like, God, just let me use the freaking program. Come on. Shout out to Blender. Because you've done, John. Well, because we still experience every day with Adobe. It's like infusion. It's like, Oh, another computer. You have to log out. No, I don't know. What are you doing, bro? We're two people, two licenses. God, we're not a VFX house trying to scam you guys out of. And that's the shop talk, I guess, right there. Our frustrations with the license down. Yeah. It's like, dude. All right. Well, let's hose on over a swag way over the community makes where we always have a good time here. Oh, look at this. I'll get a reload. Yeah. That's why I'm loading my notes. People are liking the low profile keyboard. Yes. This feels really good with typing too. And made sure that they had the, what is it, like 15 degree angle. So you have a nice typing. Yeah, that's at an angle, which is good. I can't get the links to go. I'm reading the comments. Yes, I'm going to get some steal some ideas from this Raspberry Pi case. It definitely needs a fan. Definitely want to add a fan in there because while I'm like, while I was setting up all the Raspberry Pi config, I could feel like, Oh, no, is my thing going to melt. Yes. Paul Cutler. Yep. Got to love open source. Absolutely. They focus on not licensing servers. Yep. All right. It loaded. So we're going to take a couple to end the show off with some community makes. So some some stuff that folks have sent us or I need to rephrase it. Here's some projects that people have. I can't do it though. Like we just don't have internet. It's not working. Not weird. We're really choking our stuff. Looks pretty good here. At least the streaming quality looks good. All right, cool. So the first one we have is a community make posted up by Eugene GT. They made our super perpendicular and you're doing a bunch of them. You can 3D print our little rig here. You just need a couple of ball bearings and a piece of aluminum extrusion. And it uses a little kind of a pulley system and some counterweights to make a really smooth action. And you can modify the parts to fit your soldering iron and then use whatever kind of wood base to kind of secure the assembly to. But this is great. I use this for the upcoming droid project that I'm working on and really any project do it next time. Just grab it and show it real quick. It's so cool. It's fun. It's mostly so people can egg you on and be like, Hey, where's the droid project? Come on, finish it. All right, here's the next one. So shout out to Eugene for posting that up. Oh, shout out to Eugene too for doing. We're just streaming. This is an iPhone case posted up by Smoore Ghana. Very nice. This is always fun. This is a TPU case that's flexible and it's designed for flexibles. Yeah, it's the one we're using right here on this iPhone mini. I guess the Joker is another person who put, I guess a lot of people are doing heat set inserts. So the user posted this up. Super handy. Looks like they're still building it, but it's kind of in progress. Looks like they're using Ninja Flex as the, oh my god, the whatchamal call it. It's great. The string and you get a piece of string to wrap it over the pulley. Yeah, so there's that bit. And then we have another one here. This is the neon signs. We did 3D printed neon signs and I can't see their username. MvVodka posted up their makes of the neon signs. So if you have a large bed 3D printer, you can print out as big as the sign you want. And it uses the neopixel neon style thing. So these are really nice. So if you want to make a custom shape, it's really cool. You're still in your bowl. Yeah, so it's a fun, glowy time to make some custom signs. And I think we have two more. This is a kind of a blast from the past. Again, posted on Prusa. Oh, wow. This is the HB3D on printables.com. Posted up their make of this Pokemon inspired potion. It's actually a USB battery bank that's inside there. So if you want to charge your devices, it has a little clip on it. Yeah, it does. It's kind of a fun cosplay, like combined cosplay prop with practicality. It's like, oh, it's an actual battery. Nice little thing. So maybe that inspires folks to kind of... I still see people playing Pokemon. So yeah, it does. So very fun shape, very easy to kind of modify. Oh, I have a light in there too. Wild. Of course it did. Go crazy. Let's see what else. The last one is the Raspberry Pi case, the face case. Posted up on Thingiverse by Thingiverse user. Hey, it's double A. And I guess they made a remix of it. So they added these slots so it can slot into the extrusion of the printer, like the aluminum extrusion. Do you know where our black bone is? Because that's another one that I could probably use in the shot. Let's see if it'll fit in here. I do not know where our big bone is. I know we had at least a good one. We've lost our beagle. And that's this week's community makes shout-out to everybody who's posting up their makes. I know how it can be. It looks really good. Oh, I forgot the time-lapses. We have five minutes to share our flamingo and our headstock. What do you want to do, flamingo? Flamingo, I remember Ann Brella saying that. She liked flamingos, so. I don't have the links to the. Oh, no, just go to the camera. It's fine. It is eight. I mean, it just took a while to time-lapse. One of the comments people were saying, oh, I wanted to see the neck. They think it's connected. No, it's all in different little pieces that snap fit together. Oh, it's not printed in place. Yeah. Dang it. I did time-lapse it, but because of where I positioned it on the bed, every time that the print head went close to it, it snapped. So you're showing the bed going back and forth like, dang it, I can't show this. So that's the reason why I did not show that. Unless you have Alice in Wonderland. Neck. You can kind of see there. Excellent job, the model and get all working. Do not recommend the silk. Horrible. It is horrible. Act in ripping apart. You can see the foot right there. And I printed hot. Or try a different brand. Maybe try a different brand. Yeah, because it's not the best. It looks pretty. Nice and shiny. Nice and shiny. All right. This is some Colts 3D. Check out the YouTube video for this. Check out Rogi Studios on Colts 3D. Got a couple of really nice designs. Cool. And then the little tabs all break off. It's not the designer's fault, it's the filament. It's the filament, yeah. It's funny as you pulled the lifeless Next up is this really cool key holder. Like it mounts to the wall. I got these nice little mounts. And look how it's the Gibson font, but it says guitar. Right. The custom. And the designer has a couple of different models of heads. No, that would be so cool. So this is all together. No, it's like three different. Oh. It's three different. No. Two different. No, three. Yeah. Let me play the video. Three layers. I don't show how you assemble it. Because it's like, oh man, that's too much crap. But you can swap out the filament or no. Yes, I swap the filament for the top portion there. You can kind of see there where I swap it out. Yeah, there you go. I slowed it down. Swap it again. And then you swap it back to the description of the thingiverse. Yeah. Real size of a real guitar. And that's like I was saying, the nice little mounting points. These like snap together. I glued it in just so they wouldn't fall apart. If these come out, so you can like change these. That's a good idea. Yeah. The guitar set up. Excellent. Printing. And where can folks find the sign? Okay. And this one is free. They tell you at what layer to change out the colors. Very nice. For this type of stuff, yeah. The glittery stuff tends to work out. This is silky. This is silky. So there's no joints here. There's nothing that needs to be moving. So it's fine. You could tell that it might be brittle if you like, you know. Well, just hold the weight of a key. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's on there really good. Okay. Yeah. Keys aren't that heavy. Yeah. A couple of grams. Ounces. Yep. I mean, if you have like a, you know, if you're, it might take down. But that's why I have different, you know, up to six different posts. Well, cool. That's this week's video. It's very fun. That's true for cool. It's a couple of tips there for folks. Nice way to do some practical round the house prints and some calibrating. Cool. All right. We have reached the end of the show. Yay. Right at 12 p.m. John is laughing out loud regarding the Maya licensing. Yeah. You know, when they teach you in college how to crack Maya. Oh, they do. You know. Don't give us the name. You'll tell your get to. Tonight we have a very special cell. It's going to be hosted by Liz Clark. Shout out Liz. Liz and Melissa are both sweet. Okay. So it should be really cool. We got some special guests coming over. I don't know if we can say it, but yeah, we have special guests. Last week, Adam Savage and a couple of the maker folks like so far. Oh, yeah. For there. We'll have some digital representation, maybe. Oh, this is so cool. It's back to back. So that's tonight. We'll be on there as well. Yep, show this off. That's 7.30 p.m. Eastern time. So if you want to join, you can hang out in the Discord chat room and Liz will pop in the link a little bit earlier. It's around 720-ish. But then at 8 p.m. is asking engineer with a Markville full hour of open source hardware news, new products, the great search. No, IonMPI, great searches on the Sundays. That's a desk with a data. Cool. Check out JP tomorrow for a workshop live stream every Thursday at 4 p.m. Eastern time. Always a fun time. Last week, we had Scott. Scott's back. I think Tim is going to do it this week. But you know, check out the dive on CircuitPython and more. On Sundays, it's from the desk of Lady Aida. Sundays. No, it's earlier. That's a pretty good time. I like it. So check out the great search, Lamar, and some sneak peeks at some samples and things. Always fun. And then if you want to get some crazy, ridiculous deals on the Tuesdays, JP's product pick of the week, you can get up to 50% off on select items. That's Tuesdays at 4 p.m. Eastern or 1 p.m. Pacific. Real quick comment on the YouTube chat. Himatsu is asking, what about the free giveaways? Uh, not with products. Yeah, and not with products shorted, but you do get Adafruit.com slash free. It's a lot of orders. You get freebies. Have these free boards, but you got, there's the pricing tiers on there to check out. Yeah, Adafruit.com slash free. We used to do the stickers, but it's, yeah. Maybe one day. Part shortages, costs of shipping and all that. Yeah. So we do the show every Wednesday. We'll be back next week as well with some more cool projects. 11 a.m. every Wednesday. Quite a bit of built up ones. I think next week is the Circuit Python one, or Circuit Python day. Right? Am I confused? Bup, bup, bup, bup, 19-0. Yeah, next week. Friday. Circuit Python day. Yeah. Circuit Python day. Make sure you tune in for that. It's going to be a whole day of Circuit Python streams and activities. Everybody from the Circuit Python. Some really cool stuff. Yeah, check out the vlog on Adafruit for more. I guess that's it folks. Thank you for joining us as we have took our break to recover, but we're back. I hope everybody's staying safe. Until next time, folks, I guess remember to make a great day. Make a great day. See you later tonight. Bye, folks.
