 Good morning everybody. I'm Pedro's creative tech here at Adafruit and every week we're here to share 3D printed projects regional electronics from Adafruit That's right. This is sure we combine 3d printing and DIY electronics to make inspirational projects. Hello, everybody. Welcome to the show Thank you for joining us. We are hanging out in the Discord chat room Pedro shot people out while I fix good morning to everyone hanging out We are in discord.gg Adafruit inside of the live broadcast chat also hanging out in the YouTube chat on LinkedIn Facebook Twitch good morning. Good evening. Good afternoon. Good night to everybody hanging out all over the world About to get this show started giving shout outs to people hanging out Quick one two does does that? Desert Walker Austin hi there Connor, Mick Carter over on the discord. We have the usuals. We have Paul Cutler. We have Deweyster Jim Hendrickson. Yes. Yes and over on the twitch and Facebook And what did I forget? Twitter? Twitter's periscopes. That's their that their deal Our restream changed their UI so it took a little bit to kind of figure it out But I think we're here. So good morning. Good morning. Yes. We've been watching the book of Boba Fett. Yeah, that's this week's Kind of inspired project So we'll jump into that after the housekeeping as we do in the mornings So we'll run through some of the new updated new news. So let's take a look We head on over to Adafruit.com slash free. You'll notice there is some updates to the tiers We have probably run out of blue fruits So let's go ahead run through them for orders if you're gonna spend more money with us We get some free stuff so starting off with orders that are $99 or more You'll get a free half-size from a proto PCB for orders that are $149 or more you get the free from a proto half-size breadboard PCB and a randomly selected Stamina qt breakout board if you have an account with Adafruit will make sure you don't get the same one twice And for orders that are $200 or more You get the Stamina qt breakout board the half-size from a proto and free ground UPS shipping for continental us only Check out Adafruit.com slash free for all the updates and Tune in later tonight for asking a year for a 10% discount code Head on over to the jobs board at jobs.adafruit.com You can find latest postings that are available if you are in the market for a maker or a gig and maker Ask gig I see a new one here that was posted up on January 18th An electrical embed embedded engineer in the Brooklyn, New York area from a place called Synchron and that's a full-time position So if you'd like to set up your Your profile you can do that for free or you can set up a job listing for free as well And most of these all of these are vetted by our very own Lady Aida and Mr. Lady Aida All right heading over to The newsletters once a week. There's a product focus newsletter if you want to subscribe to that You can do so by hitting up Adafruit.com slash newsletter Every single day we do Adafruit dailies So check out Adafruit dailies.com and subscribe to all the various categories that might pique your interest our favorite one being Python on hardware microcontroller Python on microcontroller Shout out to everybody for subscribing to that one We really put a lot of time and effort into this one. It's a great opportunity to share your Python related projects And that is I think all the housekeeping For this week, so let's jump into Discord and see if can y'all hear me. Oh, I should have been checking the yeah, there's a little I had to switch the mic mode from There's there's four modes on this yeti mic, and I'm on the the dual People mode. It's like the podcast interview mode is what they call it. So hopefully you can hear me. Okay. That's good Great Yeah, we've switched to this mic because they're lavalier mics. We're such a pain to deal with All right. All right. Hope everybody's doing good Checking out comments here. We'll listen into the audio playback. Yes, the serious cup of coffee It is butter cauldron. It's always Halloween here butter butter butter butter Everything is butter and better Everything's better butter Got some comments Somebody's looking for some help and I posted in there that the best place to get one-on-one step-by-step Help would be on forms.aidford.com. We have a full-time paid Engineers on there that can help you with the firmware Yeah, just about any of the learn guides have that sort of built-in support So if you have any problems with your learn guides or trying to build something or the wiring quite working out Please post up something and we'll we'll be sure to to take a look Butter is better. Thanks Andy All right, I think everybody's all buttered up and ready to check out this week's learn guide So this week we have a little It's little it's a little project. No, it's a 3d printed cosplay prop that we designed infusion 316 We 3d printed it It is a staff that's inspired by the book of Boba the Tuscan Raiders Chiefs We wanted to design the staffs. It looks so cool. So this is a 3d printed prop with a bunch of pieces that just screwed together It's fairly long. It's this many feet. This many meters Kind of long kind of a big it's all 3d printed. There's no post-processing meaning we didn't do any sanding We didn't paint anything we didn't glue anything because everything's really just off the printer Which is really cool. That's our jam. So what we like about it is that we have these 3d printed threads on each of these pieces So you can break it down. So this is kind of the main bigger piece And this is sort of the the snap bit of it and they're all different colors more or less And so we can take a look here under the overhead just to take a look at these coils here So in your design software I'm using a fusion 360 and I'm able to make these threads these custom threads Using not the thread tool, but the coil tools is a custom thread that I designed using the coil tool And with the coil tool infusion tracing you have the option to change the section size the pitch and the revolution so here I have a section size of about two and a half millimeters and my pitch is three millimeters and my Resolution is about three one two three. So that's how many times you're gonna rotate it so yeah, all these pieces are Hollow as well, and they're about four to five millimeters thick So they should be pretty chunky, but it's all hollow. This is printed in a brown filament and each one of these pieces Do not require any support material the The main height of the build is done with these pipes They have very similar coils and the cool thing about this is I made it so that all you have to do is print this single part four times You get the length of the of the staff now. There's two of these pipes That are printed in red and then I have two of the same pipes printed in brown And then this gray piece here is acting as a coupler So it kind of joins the two together and it kind of gives it that extra kind of multi Part look to it. So that's what's going on there One really cool thing that I liked about the the top is that it has These fins and because of the the design of the fins Because the design of the fins are in this way we can actually print the fins all in one piece with no support material So these are three four pieces And you can see how the fins because they have a 45 degree angle you can print those Into the part originally I was going to print the fins separately and then glue them after But why do that when the magic of three printing is Is there when you have geometry? That's 45 degrees. So that's what's cool about this piece here you see the coils are inside there and I just kind of cap it off there and I even made sure to round this off So it's not pointy. So it's safe for the kiddos and yourself to So yeah, those are the fins. They all have 45 degree chamfers. So it's it's nice and safe to touch Little sharp there, but not a big deal These other bits here You can see they're kind of different there again these fins are all printed without any supports You're probably gonna have to do this one. This one's a bit of a trick. It's actually printed upside down As long as you have your your stoppers here with 45 degree angles you can print this upright like that and That's how I was able to print these these little kind of fin pieces that extend beyond the The coil here the thread bit So that's that fin. Here's the other lower fin. You have this really big base at the bottom They're all hollow and then you have this kind of a call I call it the collar It's more of a coupler because it joins these two together But yeah, it's pretty simple part here You just got two threads on the inside there and you have these kind of cutouts on the outside there that look really neat Yeah, so And this one This These are huge parts Yes, in the learn guide I show what's the minimum build the minimum bed that you need for these parts So we'll take a look at that in just a few moments, but those are some of the details here. This is all printed in Glitter silver PLA from everyone The the filament brain is called error one something like that or everyone error one something like that And yeah, these are the gray pieces That's pretty much it for that. So it's a rocket ship Cool, I need comments or questions about the prop so far while we're kind of showing it like this Posting all the links to the CAD files. You can check these out and we're about to look at the fusion 360 file Yeah, let's take a look go ahead and edit it I think the first question everybody's gonna have is how can I get this on a smaller printer? Yeah, for sure. You're gonna need more pieces You can cut it up, I guess. So let's take a look at fusion 360 Have it open here switch All right, so the cat files done in fusion 360 if you have something else like blender You can take the step file and import that into your your CAD package But all the pieces are here. They're all organized in the in the names and if we do a cross-section You can get a look at the The threads here So you can see here that the threads they actually have a bit of tolerance They have a bit of clearance between the mating surfaces It's about 0.3 millimeters of clearance. That's the typically what I like to do That accommodates for any expansion that might happen when you're 3d printing So whenever you're doing custom threads using the coil feature or whatever feature I recommend always having at least the 0.3 millimeters of clearance between those coils You can see here For the piece like this handle I have internal Geometry that accommodates for any overhangs so without this geometry here And if you just had a flat overhang a 90 degree overhang your printer would struggle and you may need support material But for this because the geometry is all Optimized for 3d printing you can print without any supports and you'll notice that Throughout all of the the pipes and the internal geometry has that overhang at a 45 degree angle Here you see the coupler very very similar and a lot of the pieces kind of Stop have and built-in end stops. You notice like this flat overhang surface here. You wouldn't be able to print this You know this way. That's why it's printed this way because That overhang is necessary in order to stop Going into the other piece in this example the pipe going into the coupler So that's why that built that those pieces are built like that And you can see here the two pipes just you can print as many pipes as you want and just make this like massively long thing Which is really good in modular But we only need four of them and then at the bottom the last piece here is like a pommel From like a sword anatomy, right pommel is pretty simple It's hollow and you can see all the internal geometry is very very similar. You got a nice 45 degree Angle here on the internal geometry. So there's no overhangs and they all print they're all organ I think yeah, they're all ordered to print as is So you can just print those out. Here's a look at the fins looking at that Pretty hollow The coupler very very hollow. You don't need any like What would you call it? A brim on most of these pieces because that is pretty thick. So that works out pretty well It's kind of hard to navigate this thing because it's so tall Even with my space mouse. I'm struggling to uh to make some of this But yeah, that is uh, it's sort of a look at some of the pieces. Let's maybe Let's say we want to increase or decrease the height of like the tube Right, I guess we could do that. Let me uh, right click on it Right click isolate and that way we can just focus on this one piece And I guess if you wanted to change up the height For example, where am I here? Here's kind of how I'm building it. You can see the distance here Let's say we want to change this for 200 to 150 You can do that and we might have to adjust some of the coils in order for it to work But that's just a look at uh, how you would make it a little bit smaller. You could just modify that one feature Yeah And if you want to change the diameters or anything like that, just make sure that you change the diameter Not only in the sketch, but also these coils So you can see here the coils Let me bring this in here. You can see I have the diameter set up revolutions the pitch and the section size The section shape will change depending on whether it's a male or a female like connector Maybe that's not the right terminology, but that's what I'm using right now Yeah, and then uh The section position can be changed from the inside or the outside again depending on if it's a Uh a plug or a socket. I don't know how else to like You know not say genders for like a male or female connector But there you go. I've updated the part now. It's only 100 millimeters tall Um, but really you want to make sure that you like select the top surface and the bottom surface because that connector bit Has some height to it. So now it's 166 So if you wanted to be 100 perfectly we could modify this one extrude And then just take um, whatever that number was Maybe just put 90 here Hit okay, and then fusion should just Automatically update all the coils because their positions are parametric. That's pretty awesome. So now I have this smaller shorter um Thing that would fit a 3d printer that has a max bed size of 106 millimeters This would fit under a little baby printer, wouldn't it you just print a whole bunch of these nice. Yeah, so that's how Awesome parametric modeling is it just kind of works which is a testament to uh to the software i'm using Which you'll be unnamed But anyway, that's just an insight Uh on how you would change up if you're using fusions or 60 if you're using some other programs You would use the tools and those so That's it Quick question from jake austin asking is there a way to get fusion 360 for free? I think the yeah, there's a location. I think you could sign up for the education license It's a free 30 day trial. So you have 30 days to play with it um, if you have an edu email That's what you can use that and you will get a full a year free Which is what a couple of my colleagues have done. Yeah, so uh jago gt on YouTube that said the same thing Not for free. No, but you could enroll in the chiefest university and get the student version. Yeah, I guess and with that email Yeah, I think lamar said she's had her edu email for like 30 years or something from my t. Yeah And then a quick question from uh franken Is asking can we use a vase mode with a one millimeter nozzle? I believe so. I didn't y'all you want to try with the um, well not unless you plan on not swinging it around It's going to be thin regardless one perimeter. That's crazy I mean if you adjust your the thickness of everything you could get really good. Um, well the point is So the geometry tree itself is not Like solid it's built to be hollow on purpose Um, if you wonder what they mean in vase mode. Oh, I think I see what you yeah There would have any need that would have to be solid Okay I mean, I guess you could go in there and delete the face And then it would be a solid model and then you would use the device mode But I would think that coils would get messed up with the uh the vase mode. Yeah, you need some sort of You need some thickness on the center and every time I've tried to adjust a vase mode Just there's no way to have it like just do three perimeters, you know like Or just two at least one and then like one in the middle Yeah, I've always had to do it with zero tops zero bottoms and then adjust the uh the shells to that too I like the idea though Like if you were doing a decorative piece and you wouldn't actually handle it Yeah, that would work, but this is designed to be thick about four millimeters thick And if the whole goal is to print it faster You actually have to print slower with a one millimeter nozzle right in our tests anyway, right even though Yeah, mm-hmm because that's cool because of how much extrusion you have to pump out for the one millimeter nozzle Yeah cool Jake saying old Maya seven user. Hello Cool. I've been able to for a very long time and the step files work in Maya. They have to No way really Call, but I'm gonna say probably you can use the fusion 360 share link and um it is in there Yeah, I did for a fbx or obj or something. Yeah, the fbx. There's no really Maya doesn't like step Can you let us know if Maya like step files? It's got to it's just like your standard CAD CAD format Yeah, as long as it's a college affiliated. I think the email is what they're looking at as long as it's an edu And I think they probably have a database Of which ones are allowed just so folks know Full disclosure. We are paid Customers like we have a paid subscription to fusion 360 since we use it for work So we've had it for many years For free, but the time came where our free license expired. We just had to pay it up. So we did man We should try a belt printer Yeah, would this work on the belt printer? I don't think it would yeah that one I mean look at the cylinder. Yeah the belt like I see print sores, but they're like flat. They're like we're doing flat This is like a tall print like this would be like good for those end Endless z printer mods But again, it's printed in pieces. So the geometry is all different too. Yeah So let's take a look at the learn guide and we'll take a look at I have been eyeing when Tight machines want to get a print belt print gets theirs like I figured out like what parts need to be updated What custom firm cnc custom parts that they add on to it Then we'll get into the belt printers, but for now something like this we we wouldn't print that on a belt printer Yo, what happened to the learn guide and the 3d printing page is going Whoa, what the hell happened? Seriously, are you loading I can't I'm not logged in You can't again. All right. So we have some technical mount functions Um It's probably not published. Yeah somebody. Oh gotcha. Sorry. I just broke my space Mouse. All right, there you go. Try again. What happened just now? What is this? And blam, okay, thanks And then I just thumbnail this and load There's not much the learn guide anyway. It's just a couple STL files you can get you can get the CAD source and step infusion 360 so you can get those if you want Here's some useful data, right? Um The maximum build volume like the tallest part is 225 millimeters But the parts themselves or they don't get any bigger than 100 by 100 millimeters on the x and y So fairly small very very tall. So that's really the name of the game here Um in this section, I broke out which parts are silvery gray and which parts are red or brown You can print them on whatever color you like You can spray paint them. You can sand them. You can weather them. You can do all sorts of fun stuff with them Because they're they're thick. Uh, they should be pretty good, uh to handle the beating and handle a couple swings so, uh If you do plan to swing it around I'd suggest not pla but like pet g And that would be stronger or abs or whatever other strong filament That you uh that you're familiar with Isle on yeah, but that's the that's the majority of it. Look at animation just shows all the pieces screwing in together Um, yeah, that's really it very very short guide Very very tall prints Did you like how I did that? You can also make it nice and small for the kiddos, right? I make a small staff Baby's first Tuscan staff. Oh, yeah, there was a child Tuscan We won't know how the Tuscans look like though. Let's hope we never get to see one unmasked Uh paul cutler has a really good comment on the discord. Oh cool discord.gg slash ate a fruit I posted or reposted the answer on the youtube where uh jake was asking the question And now paul says that the fusion 360 is free for personal hobby use and with less features right 10 active projects Yeah, no edu email required and I posted the link there wonderful. Thank you paul That's a great great link and basically out of desk dot com slash products slash fusion dash 360 slash personal Yeah, I think it like the manufacturing workspaces that that means cnc milling. So all that's paid We just saw some new features that they launched yesterday doing like the generative generative patterns patterns, which is wow What was the other one lattice? What's it called geometric lattice? Volumetric lattice. There you go. That's gonna be super fun to play with and then as always Uh, do us they're saying that tinkercad is easy. Yeah, take it. That's great too. You can modify stuff there You can you can bring it in you can chop things up in half and just glue them later You can do that too. That's what I would do if I was like really new and I had tinkercad And I just wanted to get the parts I would just chop them up in uh in tinkercad. That's that's totally what that's actually what we moved over to Yeah, I started tinkercad way back we went over into maya using maya Or no, I'm sorry not my tinker from maya into tinkercad and then add to one two three d and then one two three d to fusion Yeah, and all those are compatible with fusion 360. I have tried blunder one point or another But I kind of gave up. So I need to be able to blunder can't run a cnc mill Yeah, maybe not Wish free can had better color management blunder can't look at the pcb files that lamar designs to think of that like the ui's Not just like the the icons with the colors of them and stuff On shape is another good good one. I played around with that one. It's an online based I think it's still online based cad. She's pretty cool And then there was another one I was going to bring up I I know the question or comment a comment I think you already got it. Yeah the free cad you so free cad Cool one the other comments will Always jump back into the chat Revisit them And then some Hugs on the great design skills So it was really fun to do Then watching the show and it's always fun to get inspired to make something Keep you busy What's cool is that they probably won't have that at galaxy's edge until like next year or something So you can always work on props before they're even made for you know the consumers and all that Real quick like if you look on like thinkiverse, there's so many tusken raider things It's pretty cool. Like you could just like all the masks I think you could build like everything now like you got the staff the stick the the greeblies I'm sure there's like a pattern for the robes and all the right Stuff that they wear so like you can you can build your whole cosplay by just visiting one of the repo sites Yeah And huddle all right cool. Let's go ahead and jump into this week. So what are we prototyping? Yay this week page just got some new Filament for his case. Oh, it's more about the case, but yeah the filaments there too. So everybody's been posting their results with this quantum filament from Matterhackers and Lamar sent me a link to that jake 3d looks like they make the exact same thing So I'm gonna guess it's a white label They're just slapping their names on it because they had the exact same colors. It looks the exact same It's like a silky type of filament PLA And I should have brought a spool But the way that the filament looks like it looks like it's Two colors being extruded and then joined into one Yeah, you have like for in this case you have like the purple and the orange or the gold So you can like where's the camera? I can't see what my angle is. Yeah, you can see where the transition happens It turns into purple and then back into the gold And it has a pretty nice effect even on the You can get closer to the flat folks want to see it closer And when you have like a flat Edge there, you can kind of see both of those colors coming in. Yeah, very sweet filament It comes in one seven five diameters comes in two eight five as well Surprisingly Yes, and you can see the difference here before between a pei and a powder coated pei Looks a little bit better with just the pei No textures. There you go It's a macro in there. Oh, there you go So the effect is a bit of an error of descent like as you look at it at a different angle the color will shift Um, that's actually It's kind of a hit or miss depending on the geometry of your part. We have a 3d printed print in place Chameleon that did not come out as good We're not going to go get it because like I said, it's not everything looks as good That's why everybody's you're out of focus. That's why everybody's printing the vases Yeah, vases really wonderful or a statues type thing Well, if it's like any sort of organic, you know, like shapes on it at some point the Where the The nozzle is moving it's going to change on you and that's going to have an effect of Moving where the purple is so you'll have like streaks of purple and you get gold or whatever the color Second color that you have on it so Doesn't work on everything, but it does work on like the cases. Yeah, it worked out really well in this small case So real quick and you want to look at the filament page? Oh, yeah So this is again for matter hackers. We've got a link that we can share in the notes um Real quick their coffee revolutionary color blending PLA Combines two colors per filament to produce parts that display different colors front to back And blend these colors on the sides matter hack is quantum is ticketed to producing the most visually striking 3d print They're very shilts shiny. So they're kind of the silky style And here's a really good look at it right there and you see that vase as you're rotating it Like it's just so beautiful to see you change color like that on the turntable So vase is really really cool. Um, a lot of these kind of weird vases are really good You're your typical PLA printing setting so 210 c on the nozzle and your bed probably around 50 to 60 c You can kind of see that thing I was talking about there unless you want me to quickly grab it I'll keep the folks entertained by uh doing my favorite tuskin um Sound effect yong How's that? This was supposed to be a That's my tuskin. I like how this was supposed to be a uh Next week's project, but we're talking about filament. Yeah, I mean it is a 3d printing show We're bleeding into shop talk now. We're talking about filament. So this is what I'm talking about like when organic uh models The the nozzle direction on it can change so you can see there the leaking of it I was excited printing. I was like, oh, this is going to be such a cool time lapse because it'll Be blue on one side green on the other side, but nope as you can see just kind of looks like rainbow filament The rainbow filament actually looks better because you can see it slowly changing from like green to brown is what I originally did this at Do you think the Bowden is a little bit like if you're print if you printed this on a bowden and then a direct drive You think that would have any difference maybe because I just now thought about that like, you know what? Because maybe inside the bowden tube It's like twisting it shouldn't be twisted if it's just stationary and goes locked down straight down in You're going to get the best effect. So here's another vase one. Lamar sent this Lincoln I don't have a link to that or this one. So sorry. This looks so cool when you twist it It looks like it's changing. Yeah, that's what you want to look at. And this is a vase mode, right? Or is it just It was probably modeled to me vase mode, but I did not actually print it in these parts come off come apart Because there's a chamfer, right? Yeah, so they're all locked in place. You can see how it gets a small bigger than small on the other side But yeah, that's a really cool effect Yeah, I was saying before 3d jake also has it as well Oh john's in here asking is it is the color change based on distance? No, we should really show this matter hacker show It's really cool to see the filament Yeah, I was going to post a picture of what the actual filament looks like it's literally looks like it's two colors Smashed together and there's a there's a solid line that you can see that that joins the two together I have both of them in the printers, but let me just chop it off. Yeah page is gonna Just chop it off for you folks. We can show you the filament. It's kind of neat But here's some other photos of it in action. This is a really cool one But I believe make some breaks There's more bases and stuff. It's it's really a filament that you have to like All right, here it is. So You can see how it's two colors and it's literally like extruded There you go to one and fantastic job on keeping the Consistency of it because it's not like wobbling around. Yeah, it does not differ But like we were saying before if you have a boat in it's probably like twisting around, right? So maybe that's what happened to that lizard model. Yeah Do a whole Yeah, there's what the whole spool looks like this side is all Pink and pink and the other side is gold Pretty cool Yeah, and it's as simple as just two filaments combined. I don't write that's the effect It's the magic Closer there you go You can see how it's uh joined there. Yeah, it's like peanut butter and jelly Strawberry jam I am now So quantum leap quantum leap and but anyway the whole thing that we were supposed to be talking about was this The feather tft case So this was uh brent rebelle's idea. He was like, oh, let's do a feather case that has two Stemas oh look at that. Yeah, so it's uh, oh man. I should have had brought the other one too. Oh, no, you can see here It's a grill. Yeah, we used two weeks ago for one of your other other projects where you can mount Two stemas on there or actually more you can we have like that stacking Um kit so you can just keep stacking these very compact All snap fits Yep, all snap fit you have access to your buttons and all that We really love the addition of the uh the semiconductor the vertical style. Mm-hmm. Yeah, it's so cool It looks like a mini pit boy. Yeah. Oh a little mini pit boy put it on your put it on your apple watch So that's cool the that's the main thing I wanted to get working on there was the um, so this side The boot yeah Let's start off the feather after I want to I want to I want to see how much battery this has. Oh, you had a default sketch that it comes with This is the tft the new tft feather It's got an esp 32 s2 and what's really cool about the the the built-in Demo is that it uses the onboard lipo charging circuit Or the rather the lipo monitoring battery circuit and it'll tell you right away how much Battery your lipo has and you can see here our little tiny 100 milliamp one has about 37 percent and you can see it the tft takes A good amount of power so over time you'll see The battery just get drained by this lovely t feather. It's not low power by any means but It's cool that you can uh right away like we don't have anything in the shop That just tells you what the battery is for a lipo like what's my lipo? Yeah, we searched percent is 80 percent Good luck. I don't know but this charging circuit or the The lipo monitoring battery circuit is really great to have built into your feather Because we're always like grabbing a lipo trying to throw it into a project. It's like, oh no, it's dead Yeah, I can't tell is it my wiring or is it the bat not even the um the lipo chargers will tell you It'll just have a green light like, you know, it's a fully charged or not Yeah, so we're gonna put this one around this is great default just to test your batteries We have tons of lipo batteries for all of our portable projects and we never know How they are how the lipo is Now we can with the and some interesting uh little designs in uh like cutting out these little pieces just so that the Hardware kit will fit in there without having to increase the size of the case Like you were saying it's all snap fit. So all this comes out You can see just feather. I love that it's built all in there And it's wi-fi The esp32 s2 is a wi-fi chip on it, of course got that yummy, uh, usb c So that's all nice and of course i'll snap fit It's a lid there There you go. So release this tool on board buttons. You could probably program the button to do something else Well reset and once the no you can reset you can You can change the button something. I don't know. Yeah, this one's boot. This one's reset I always forget because there's so many chipsets like the rp20 40 you can reprogram those boot buttons That's with the esp32 s2. I don't think you can so There you go Yeah, cool. So that'll be a great if you got yourself a tft feather. We will have a case for you folks Yeah, that's a little way to do some uh environmental monitoring and uh, yeah and in in the future it will have a Built-in humidity temperature sensor. Oh, that's right. Yeah to 80. We just don't have anymore So we weren't able to pick a place them So the price might change when we get that in there sweet sweet So that's this week's what are you prototyping and shop talk kind of mixed in there Got some new quantum filament and really digging this new tft feather with the esp32 s2 I go back to autofocus because I keep going to sorry autofocus Okay, all right, cool All right, let's go ahead and jump into this week's shop talk. We had an update to Hydro dipping sheets So hydro dipping is a really cool way to get uh two intricate textures on your 3d printed models So we have these hydro dipping sheets In the eater food shop and there is an update to the product And I did not even know that this got updated until somebody in the forms was asking Is it the same process like uh, why are the back, you know, why is it clear now? So I had to order up This new set and test it out and it works exactly the same as the last one. The backing is just clear. Yeah, so let's run through our Little process here Oops start all over. Yeah, I did It doesn't it doesn't do it. That's not beginning. I can't I can't do it. Uh, what's the software? I can only stop and and go So we're gonna wait until the video is done because this software is atrocious You mean you want to start at the beginning? Well, we can't no it's got this stupid checkbox. It's this remember position when live And I accept to be on okay. Yeah Command shift p. Oh command shift p takes you back to that spot I hate the software. Sorry folks. All right, and then you have to switch back to oh my gosh And they're broke it All right, there we go. It won't do it still Okay, so clear backing you can easily tell because one is thicker than the other You print on the thin side with regular ink check printer nothing special I just see it's like the best option for the ink to come out good I'm using this masking tape to keep it in place And I'm just using whatever the hottest that your faucet will go to which in our case is 101 Not boiling Then you place the sheet right on top You'll see that it wrinkles up and then it'll calm itself down I'll get rid of all the wrinkles and that's how you know it's time to go ahead and dip your part And uh, we're using some hot glued sticks on the back so we can easily hold it without having our fingers being in the way We'll push it through so it wraps completely around and then shake it As you dip it below the water line and then there you go. You have a nicely Uh textured you can be full color. We just did black and white here And then the hot glue parts easily snap off and there you go A customized hydro dip little pie 2w case Okay Got it. So that's how to pause. Okay. There you go. Yeah, you can easily tell which is the backing You can use your fingernail or an exacto knife to peel the two pieces apart So, you know, which is which sure so our first batch Two years ago had a white protective backing now that protective backing is transparent It's thicker than the material that you print on. So when you're actually printing it on your 2d printer How do you tell what's the right side to print it on? You just see which part um is that's why you're kind of pulling in a part to see which part is thinner And that way you determine what part do I print on you can kind of see in the background there The packaging actually tells you which is the printing side But you will probably you know, once you take the paper out of the package you're gonna forget you're gonna forget So that's the number one tip Okay, so you can definitely tell you're there feeling it with your thumb And then loading it in you have to know which how to load your 2d printer Roll it back and then the top so that's all up on you. You gotta know which way your printer feeds the paper Big important thing. Yeah, otherwise you're gonna run on the wrong side. So just You know your print your 2d printer. Yeah Here, uh Scale your print as well. So we're just using the packaging that's used Printed on like eat fruit shipping stuff some vector artwork from our folks. Yeah, so I scaled it down so you can Fit it on there not shown here But then you'll want to cut a nice like um, like padding around it so that you have enough room for the texture to wrap around the entire print You need to think about your bowl of water Your piece has to fit in your bowl of water not only the size but the depth to see right So if this piece was too big for your bowl that you're using for your water Um, you need to cut it down. So you really need to think about all the steps when you're hydrodipping What's my part? What's gonna wrap around? What's my container for my water? Okay And you're gonna cut that down and again right here so that your fingers Don't get in the way of any of the ink or the film We're using these little toothpicks that we just hot glue on Yeah, they're like crafting sticks. You can get these from a crafting store or wherever else you can use skewers whatever you want Um, this is a really good technique a lot of the times when people are painting things you will do this Very very similar technique here hot glue on the inside of the part A hanger or something hangers something you can fold it at a distance the guy for your own technique here But this is what we use these two sticks And that gives us plenty of uh Next step Tape some masking tape any sort of tape that will hold the top thin film in place while you put it over the water You're essentially getting a frame. Yeah, it's the first. It's the right word if you don't have this frame That's made out of tape. It'll just nothing will hold in place It'll just You just go the ink will go all over the water So this tape is is critical here and you want to put it in ink Facing upwards ink face if you put it downwards the the water will That's a funny spritz it for you. Yeah, so at this point your productive backing is completely off And oh no, no not yet not yet the backing is still on there. Oh So put the tape over while the backing is still on this still on there and if He creates a frame page is making a frame and then the water Yep, someone is asking just water. Yeah, just regular tap water from the faucet I just did it as hot as the faucet would go It's at 101.6 Fahrenheit. Yes Not boiling not boiling is 200. Yeah boiling here in the states. Maybe they change maybe boiling water It does change like you could boil water colder temperatures up in the mountains Huh, this is true. Okay, well at sea level. It's very very warm water. What is it 60 meters? Very very warm water Um, where how did you find did you have you tried cold water? I have not all of the instructions at a road that I've read Previous whenever we did you this years ago warm water was all warm water So it might with cold. I just never tried it right and this is warm water. It's not gonna melt your PLA part No, if you're used to cooking this is like cold to you. Yeah, this is cold This is just like my wash washing my hands warm water. Okay All right, let's be playing here and that was just a bucket the bucket the bowl rather It's big enough for a part and it's big enough for our frame Deep enough and it's deep enough that don't forget the deep enough needed to be for a submerge You've done this more than once And this is where we peel the backing again probably use a zacto knife or something or like cut a corner So you know so you can easily Peel it off when it's ready to place down and again make sure the ink is facing upwards So watch what happens instant wrinkles. Oh, no, my thing is ruined. It's not you just have to wait for it to accumulate And then it'll those rinkers. I have a video of the wrinkles like just I'm at Magically unwrinkling it soft quite fun But that's how you know you're ready You're ready to start dipping before you actually dip it. You've hopefully already processed in your head. Okay You jump over the overhead No, I okay. Well, there's a big old hole here. Yes. I want the Adafruit logo to not go in the hole So make sure to position it so it's on the side. So always be thinking of that Maybe you can you know your placement you can maybe mock it up in photoshop And this shows you like if you were trying to align text to your USB port somebody that's going to be difficult Somebody ask you do this with a PCB you could if you're not worried about alignment if you have like text where like pads need to go I mean like you could do it, but I don't the It's all freehand. This is where I show like how other companies do hydrogrypting. Yeah, let's not yet Yeah, hydrogrypting is a very kind of like you'll see. Mm-hmm. You'll see the the wrappiness So how peter's doing is an angle 45 degree and then just kind of It's being in it backwards. So you get that other side wrapping around. I watch watch watch like watch how peter takes it out Like oh remove the frame keep it down in there and then you bring it back up at an angle as well and you'll see the uh the um The fill the ink and the rest of the film just you know disperse to the side So that doesn't attach to your side or to the front front face Yeah, that's pretty much it. You let it dry for I don't know an hour. So I let it dry overnight. Yeah Any bubbles that do form will probably go away That's probably another step that you should do to clean the surface of your part So you don't have dust all right or any oils or any oils This just shows you how the wrinkling happens and then a little bit after maybe 10 to 15 seconds Then the wrinkles go away, but it looks like it got ruined, right? So don't let that alarm you after a couple seconds it flattens it's about and here's another angle of peter dipping it here I shared this on twitter and folks seem to like it. It's oddly satisfying to see that You see how peter shakes it a little bit that helps kind of disperse Some of the artwork so it doesn't get affected when you bring it back up Because when you bring it back up out of the water you can get some uh some unnecessary Bits that kind of stick onto the part if you're not careful There you go They're very cool Posting the link to the hydro sheets product link. Yeah the discord. I think this could be really cool to do Some intricate patterns and textures for like diffusers So if you're doing like a prop or something and you want to mask out some really intricate stuff Instead of doing something like vinyl cutting and trying to wrap it around your thing This is a really good thing for really quick rolls is asking on the youtube does this work with color? Yes, if you check out the learn guide or the product page it works with print in place objects as well So we did a galaxy like digit spinner digit spinner See how that works there and check all that out. So even with parts of that move How colorful that is and the guide we have even more colors for another pie case Yeah, we have a learn guide here You can see all look at all those colors. Yeah, you can go crazy with it. It's a really good look at that Lots of different fun things with injection molded stuff. You'll get really really great quality You know depending on what colored filament Mixing that with colored ink can you know turn into something like this looks like a mistake here, but it's not There's just a galaxy And the the PLA was just purple So it kind of blended into that playing like what colors is going to look with the transparency bubbles is a thing I didn't clean that part. It wasn't clean Um, you'll get warping. So you'll your wrapping this might get obstructed Especially with moving parts like the fidget spinner here, but yeah It's also a really cool thing to try out. Uh, the person who was commenting on the Maya user there Do like some UV Textures you can like break all your UVs out and like have like one Corner like be that one piece of the like an organic file and the other piece so you can like Get the Texture on your model. There's some other things that we tried with it Notice that it's white because the protective backing was different. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but uh, yeah You'll want to use the best high quality setting on your 2d printer. Mm-hmm And uh, yeah There comes in a pack of 10 their regular a four size sheets. So eight and a half by 11. Yeah And there you go. Yeah There's just some tips that we've learned and um, we'll try to do some more. Yeah, it's all the exact same Um, documented Learn guide settings for all this a little confusing because like the sheet is now turns pan It's a little bit tell them apart. You just got a feel for it. Mm-hmm on the uh, so we saw this on forms Adafruit.com where somebody was asking for help and it turns out that they did not remove the backing because Because it was clear. Yeah, just was confusing, you know Um, yes So that's our hydro dipping segment Hope folks are we learn people were asking for the links. I posted that. Yeah, this is definitely really cool So that everybody doing like a Like multicolored. Yeah extrusions like, you know Slicing all the filament up and like having this giant like thousand dollar machine the Oh, no, my print failed. Show us your crops Oh with when you're talking about, um, like how you know, it's not perfect You can kind of see how it because water is wavy and then the angle that you insert something at in it in At as well could, you know mess with how the uh, the texture is laid out Uh, so looking at that and it's like, oh man, I could have did a better job But then you look at something like these shoes who that were clearly Hydro-dipped you can see that there is a bunch of like stretched out stuff like look at Mickey's head And he's like completely all stretched out right here. He's all stretchy Yeah, so that it just happens with the way that, um You know things are dipped in so there's no real name. It's just like an artifact of the process itself So just plant for things being stretched out or Yeah, but it's cool that it wraps around. That's the main thing. Yeah, you could yeah, you could do that with um You really can't do that with vinyl where it wraps around like that I mean not as clean. I mean, I guess if you have like the um, I'm like a flat thing to you know But it it's going to increase your tolerance to the stickiness wouldn't curve well. Yeah, you're right And let's see do us for those asking about the durability So scratching this scratch it. Yeah, I mean live scratching Yeah Let's set it on fire Yeah, I mean it's pretty durable I mean it's gonna be as durable as You know, yeah, like if I'm if I like take a nail to it and scrape it. I'm sure that'll take it off I'm sure it'll melt if you put a fire Oh Yeah, I mean, it's only as strong as the PLA, but yeah, it's not like you can see like it's not gonna rub off I think that's what do estrus saying he's gonna rub off My hands are sweating too John is requesting human body parts for temporary tattoos. I think it might work. That's funny Did I see a TikTok somebody do that? Hydro dip my hand. I think that would work. I don't know. Maybe the oils Follow me for more tips. I think the oils on your your skin would eventually Make it come loose or something. Yeah You should uh Hydro dip some wardles, of course. Oh, yeah. Yeah, clear coating will definitely help it out. Um, says duester What is it? Uh, doing like a clear coat like acrylic clear coat like either spray or yes That would give you something. Yeah, that would hide some of the layer lines or oh no No, no to protect it more right make it even more durable put it on top with this. Yeah, you're right But on right now it feels pretty good It feels like I can rub it and it won't rub off Joe burn on facebook is saying that he's uh doing He's trying like the marbling with the nail polish on water to create groovy series of little three-painted stash boxes Yeah, that works as well too Cool All right, and that's how you do the thing post the link up. I think I posted it everywhere. I posted You check out the sheets there They work Well, it's just like what ideas can you come up with? Yeah, and then you're going to want to test out many times So get two packs because one pack is for your learning and the next pack is for I mean there's 10 So and then as you've seen I'm not using the entire sheet. I'm cutting it down to the work area The limit of the size of the of the sheet Hey by 11, hopefully you can fit most of your parts whatever your container you're using to do the actual dipping I think it would be really cool to have you do this There's said he's using a tester's paint and water. This would be really cool to dip. Yeah This is what I meant by like doing like your UV face is being broken out Just imagine a bunch of circuit traces going along here and then with the lighting underneath You would mask out, you know the circuit traces and everything else is glowing. That would look so cool So I might do that. I kind of want to scale this down a little bit Yeah, so if I scale that down and put this texture over I think really really dope I have the Adafruit logo right here on top of the d20. Yeah, that's a really cool effects you could do Yes, so some ideas. All right. I think that is all the points we wanted to cover. Yeah Oh a lot of community makes Yeah, one last segment before we go community makes This week we time lapsed a very cool thing from Jermiah Lee made a mario boo ghost inspired by super mario brothers. This is really cool. It's a multi-part print So just print the two different parts Or three or four whatever different parts in different colors and then just glue them together Very neat. Just in time. This isn't glued Well the back is oh, okay. Yeah the back is actually Oh, actually Oh, here it comes. There was pins that were supposed to go in there, but they didn't fit my tolerance So I did glue it but you if your printer is uh Has the same tolerance so that he used you could uh have the pins that are included and press fit them together But yeah, check out the tongue. It's great. Just press fits in there the same thing with the teeth the eyes This is an excellent model. I love the character like the Organicness of like his eyebrows and his eyes and the teeth and all that and the floating effect is so cool Really good way to uh pull that off having the the tongue The thing that is him up. Yeah, so cool. I can't see how cool it is in the Tongue or is he maybe on this angle? Please care camera here I know it's not halloween, but it's kind of always hollowing here at eater fruit It's great for valentine's day. That's a good point. Yeah Ghostly love. Mm-hmm Super cool Print in peace Part Yeah, it's on a fingerverse as a free download And uh Jeremiah has a couple of really cool designs on there. So definitely check out the profile page Jeremiah. Shout out to Jeremiah Really cool stuff. Yeah Sorry about our internet Maybe one day we'll get fiber and that day was tomorrow No, it's today after the show. Oh look different colored. Yes. I love the black one. Oh, it looks so cool Very cool. I love that background. So check it out Free downloads a couple folks made it. Oh glow in the dark. Ah, I should have did that Oh should have looked on the mix I looked at his designs. That's uh, he's got a couple of other really cool ones Cool, maybe should have made the tongue in quantum. We didn't have quantum yet. Hey, they didn't arrive yet All right. Well, that's very cool. That's this week's time of Tuesday shout to Jeremiah releasing a really sweet free model All right, I got another couple ones that we have here before you finish up the show Taking a look at some of the makes that were sent to us over here is the tv a stick that we Designed through printed andy morale posted up their make It says a really great model everything screws together nice and tightly I'm glad someone made it looks really fun. It uses a prop maker feather wing and a feather and a three watt rgb led to make a really fun audio reactive sound reactive It's not sound reactive. It uses the xol rumor. I'm sorry. It has sound effects as a speaker It sounds really cool. So check that out if you're looking to make a cool prop that lights up Reuse the code and circuit and you can make all sorts of different props This was printed on a cruelty ender 3 pro with some All right, next up we have A post a make posted up on prusa printers. Very cool to see folks are trying to use prusa printers a little bit more And this is a make of the heat Set insert press rig. I think we showed this already. I remember the color scheme. We did Oh, well, this is different this one is different. Oh, yeah In any case super cool way to get the heat press inserts into your 3d part at a nice repeatable angle Yeah, very cool. Okay They're cool. All right, and then the last is uh, how funny a mario boo Planner that that you did in Maya. Oh, yeah, and we're ending off with another mario boo This one was designed by Pedro Think you're good or one two three. I think it was Maya. Maya. Okay. He's got a tail, but I can't you have to rotate it printed on the ender 3d by small schmoom small schmoom small sum Put it on the cruelty under three That's the PLA from over here acrylic paints acrylic paint Ben bleeds horribly and needs some practice Yeah, that happens right acrylic can tend to blend Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, you gotta the offset for where you paint stuff. Bleed It's gonna be careful on how Yeah, it's a planter folks. Lots of folks have made it. It's gotta receive the makes That ghost That's nice little all those succulents so you can print it on whatever scale I think I printed it really big ones and put it on my head Oh, no, we used it as a candy Let's try the candy bowl. Yeah, cool. Some ideas for folks if you want to yeah Ghostly just time for Halloween only 200 days away And that's it. That's this week's community makes. Thank you everybody for sharing their stuff with us Oh, how cool to Western saying that the iron stand insert holder heater was the first to print a project We learned how to use that tinker cad to change the dimension of the parts. That's so cool Come on. I worked out All right folks, well, that's gonna do it for this show We hope we inspired everybody and everybody's staying safe and keeping busy Yeah, it's as we get through this one summer time We can get back out there and start doing things. We're on lockdown still somewhat So we'll see everybody tonight On show and tell don't forget. There's a 10 off coupon code as well. So if you want to get some more stuff To support your maker habit, you can get that percent off tonight on ask an engineer every Wednesday at 8 p.m Eastern time We'll hope to see you folks tonight on show and tell every Wednesday at 7 30 p.m eastern time This time it's gonna be hosted by mr. Mrs. Lady Ada So we'll hope to see you there Tomorrow is jump arcs workshop every Thursday at 4 p.m eastern time And then on Fridays, we have deep dive the scott return of the dive the scott every friday 2 p.m pacific or 5 p.m eastern Wrapping back well not wrapping back yet, but then on the weekends from the desk of lay item Does live stream every sunday at random hacker hours?
