 Hey, what's up, folks? Welcome back to another 3D Hangout. My name is Noah Ruiz. I'm a designer here at Adafruit. And join me every week is my brother, Pedro. Good morning, everybody. I'm Pedro Rez, creative tech here at Adafruit. And every week we're here to share 3D-printed projects featuring electronics from Adafruit. That is right. This is sure we combine 3D printing and DIY electronics to make inspirational projects. Hello, everybody. We are back. Last week we had a little thing, but we are back this week. And this is episode 401. That's right. Two weeks ago, we celebrated our 400th episode. And hopefully we can do 400, 500, 600 more. So we're hanging out in the live broadcast chat room in the Adafruit Discord server. So if you want to chat with us during the show, you can drop in some gifts, some gaffes, some goofs, coffee emojis, happy emojis, kitty cats, and more, all on the Adafruit Discord server. Pedro, what's the URL? You are up for all of the chats on the Discord is discord.gg slash Adafruit. Yay. Not only Discord, but we are on the YouTube chats on Twitch. Did Facebook load today? Maybe on Facebook? It says we have a checkbox. On Periscope. The four major networks. Yes. Base. You, Twitch, and the bird. The blue bird. All right. We might be there. Yeah, we're probably there. Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, good night. Everybody hanging out all over the world. Let's give a couple of shout-outs in the Discord. Good morning, Andy Calaway, Jim Hendrickson, and Razan, a cup of coffee, teeth, and Squid, Connor, Squid.jpeg. We're on the YouTube to Western. Good morning. Good morning. We have a lot of stuff to catch up on, too. So we're going to try to squeeze in all sorts of prototyping projects, that sort of thing. So let me get right to the housekeeping, and then we'll jump into this week's project. And then we'll do a bunch of prototyping, because we are prototyping lots of stuff. Shop talk, and then lots of community to make. So a lot of jam-packed show. Buckle up, everybody. Here we go. Adafruit.com slash free to find out all the free deals going on at the time of this recording, because sometimes we'll have freebies change later tonight on the Wednesday. This week at $99 or more, we'll get you a half-sized Promo Proto PCB. If your order is $149 or more, you get the half-sized Promo Proto PCB, plus the KB2040 at Lovely Dev Board with the RP2040 chip for the Raspberry Pi. And if your order is $200 or more, you get the KB2040, the half-sized Promo Proto, and UPS ground shipping, free UPS ground shipping for continental US only. Check out Adafruit.com slash free for the details. This week, today, we have a coupon code that will get you 10% off your total order. And this week, the coupon code is Kanari. But to get the freebies, they get automatically added to your account, because that's how the system works. So you don't have to do anything like that. It just automatically calculates your total and adds the freebies as necessary. But 10% off is the coupon code Kanari. So check that out, because we're going to talk about the Kanari project that we did last week. Was that good? Perfect. Then we'll get into prototyping and look at all the tears of the kingdom stuff. It looks like you guys are excited about that. Yeah. So real quick, let me just run through the learn guide. This is a collaboration project with Katni Ramboor. She had this idea to make a IoT nightlight. And she was inspired by this song by the band They Might Be Giants. So she wanted to make a blue Kanari that watches over you, because that's the part of the lyric. So yeah, it uses Adafruit I.O. to get the time. And then depending on whether it's day time or night time, it'll change the color. We had a project like that before, the IoT Star Fragment Lamp. But this one has an extra feature. It will blink red if it detects that your internet network is down. That was a feature request from Lady Aida herself. So check that out if you want to see some IoT Circuit Python code that will do some internet detection and getting the time and controlling Neopixels to be a certain type of color. This uses the ESP32S3 QT pine board and the 5x5 Neopixel grid. So if you're trying to do a little project that's similar to this bird, those are some good pieces of kit to make a little night light that's internet powered. Of course, this could also be done in Whip or Snapper. If you just want to quickly change the color, you can do that. But this is a Circuit Python project. And the Learn Guide covers the whole thing, the circuit diagram. We have a bunch of CAD files. We have pages on how to set up your Adafruit account. Catnip discovered that we had some older documentation on how to create an Adafruit IO account. Now, everybody that has an IO account just have one. So this has been updated to come out for any newcomers on how to set up your Adafruit account and how to access your Adafruit IO API key and all the stuff that you should know about. So good job, Catnip. She updated that. So going forward, our IoT Adafruit IO projects will have this updated information, because it was a little out of date. So she blew the dust off of it and brought it to the todays. She did a great job. Yeah, I remember this actually happened a while ago, but I completely forgot that the accounts had merged. So yeah, very good. Yeah, that's how the open source documentation is. You just kind of kind of update it as you go. She did a good job on commenting the code. It is super commented. So if you want to get a breakdown of how the Circuit Python code works on doing the network detection and just how to send and receive data from Adafruit IO, how to paint and stuff like that, this is a good piece of code. A couple other folks on the team took a look at this. I think Dan Halbert and I think Jeff Febler, maybe, if I'm not mistaken, they all took a look at it as well. And yeah, it's all here, very thorough, and everything's broken out in code blocks. So you can dissect it and understand it. Oh, there's two pages of code walkthroughs. Wow, cool, cool. And then the assembler just shows you how to solder up the QT Pi and the new Pixel BFF. This kind of permanently sandwiches the two boards together, just for a super ultra low profile board that's kind of the tightest you can get them to be. But yeah, it just walks you through all that. And the print is a snap fit design. Let's go ahead and take a look at now. This was my first kind of project where I used surface sculpting tools in Fusion 360 to create this bird. So the bird is very organic, it's very curvy, and it 3D prints without any support material, but it's a two-piece design. You have this hollow shell that's in the shape of a canary bird. It has this little opening here for USB ports, cables, adapters, that sort of thing. But it is printed in this white filament. In the video from last week, I showcased two birds, one stone. This is like a translucent color. And basically just showing you like, what are the differences between the two? Cause like Katni had asked like, oh, what if it was printed in this clear filament? And I was like, well, you could do that, but look at, it has such a drastic change in the diffusion. If you're going for this effect, by all means go with the clear filament, but I really like the soft of the white opaque filament. So there's a big difference between transparent and translucent filament. But you probably already knew that, but if you didn't, this is a good visual representation of like what kind of diffusion you get with the different filament choices. The piece of hardware is just snap fitted into this little bottom pit that just snap fits. There are no mounting holes on the QDPI boards. So that's why I kind of have to have a little press fit kind of thing here. Yeah, so that is pretty much the whole project in a nutshell. So check it out. You can use one of these wall adapters. This is for one of the cell phones, the iPhone, and it has the five amps, I mean, five volts, one amp power supply. And then you can use one of these USB type A to USB type C, and then you can have this in the wall or we have a right angle adapter that you could use. If you want to do something like this, that won't work, something else, right? There's some other one I have that did work. The outlet would have a funky angle. Yeah, this one here, I think would work like that or something. I had some weird setup, I forget. Like I had like five adapters. Yeah, you forget to have just in case you have that weird setup. Right, yeah. And then like the Adafruit ones we have of this, they're like on the side, so that made it even more weird. Yeah, that's why I use this one in the video, because it just worked out for my outlet. And the outlets are different in your country, so get the one that works for you. Or if you're just having it plugged into the computers, USB port hub, that works too, that's why I have it set up. But yeah, kind of a fun IoT nightlight. There's one comment that the blue light would keep them up. Andy, Kaila always said that blue light would keep them up. And yeah, we do have a little description on there that the blue light is actually pretty bad for when you're trying to follow the blue light. So the project says that the blue or in the code, the default code that you can access, the blue is for daytime and the red is for nighttime. Because Kat needed a little bit of research and she read that the LED lighting is good for night. Blue is fine for day. I actually updated the code so that it is off during the day and it is on during the night. That's kind of how I want it to be. But we have it set up. So it's customizable very easily in the top of the code. But you could also have it turn off during the day and turn on during the night or however you like. The main thing that Lamar wanted to use this for was having it only turn on red when Wi-Fi goes down. So that was the main goal for this thing that she wanted. And that's what differentiates this project from our Star Fragment project. It is a Wi-Fi indicator. Yeah, yeah. So I think our story, which is the story that everybody has where you're in the room. Hey, honey, did the Wi-Fi go down? Right. And this is a little bit bigger and you can put it in. You can confirm there with that actual thing that, yes, it has gone down. Yeah, our router is actually right here and it's behind a picture frame. So I can't even see. Is it on? Oh, yeah, yeah. Connor on YouTube is saying that. Seems like you could adjust the color to match apparent sun color, i.e. yellow, day, red. Absolutely, yeah, totally. It's not dark sky. What is it now? The open source one? Is it dark sky? Media, a media, open media, I think, something like that. Yeah, that's the one that the Star Fragment uses. This one just uses Adafruit IO to get the time. So no need for a third-party API. It's just Adafruit's API. And yeah, so check it out. Yeah, it's a little drying this blue. It was blowing me out here. I guess I could just make it white. I have the code open here. So maybe I'll just do that real quick and then we'll get off this project. Where am I here? Here it is. It's two, it's two, five, five and two, five, five. Let's make it white. And then, of course, depending on your filament color, it won't be exactly the right color, but hey, now it still looks blue. How about that? What do I knock down all the blue? Speaking of filament, it looks like my seven spools of filament have arrived. Seven? Yeah, I ran out of a bunch. Yeah. There you go, now it's like a green, yellow nightlight. Hey, that's pretty nice. Yeah, on the camera. Very appropriate to Zelda colors. Right, yeah. It's a ultra bird. There you go, there you go. All right, so there you go, there's the bird. Check out the learn guide. And that's it, posting all the links to all the stuff. And of course, the coupon code, is it bluebird? No, it should be bluebird. I just put canary. I updated it in my bed. I need to update, yeah, go ahead and update the notes. It was gonna be bluebird, but it's not just a bluebird. It can be any color. It's just not rainbow. I tried rainbow and it didn't work. It didn't look good on the grid. Even as a chase? Even as a chase. It's just because the grid is so dense. Oh, it just doesn't translate well. Yeah, yeah, it's all together in one. Yeah, it's all together, so it's kind of hard to get cool effects. I think the pulse effect worked well, but any other effect just doesn't look good. Anywho, that's last week's project. Pedro, you got the next segment with when you prototyping. Yeah, let's go ahead and jump into, what are we prototyping? Let's go ahead and just go to this camera, I guess. I'm working on the Ultra hand from, oh my God, I forgot the name. No, the tears of the kingdom. Which, spoiler, you know where those tears are coming from? Have you seen that yet? Has anybody seen where the tears are coming from? The Koroks. I don't want to spoil it. Oh, actually I don't know where the tears are coming from. I thought it was from the Koroks because there's been lots of shenanigans. Not yet, so yeah, it's going to be a cool narrative. Yeah, still prototyping obviously, so not the full Ultra hand yet, so here's the other missing piece of it. So all using the LED nudes, which are these neon-like LED little strips that kind of look like the EL wire. Way brighter than EL, you don't need an inverter. I'm just using a nine-volt battery on this. So didn't get all of the wires all nicely routed through since this is still the prototype. The final is going to be like in the gold or the copper color I'm printing out here. Getting all the fit finish set for this, like the channel depth for all this and then all the little details for that. And yeah, going to be a nice simple LED wearable project for tears of the kingdom. So if you guys don't know, the Ultra hand is one of the latest abilities in Zelda where I'm going to forget the dude's name who's trying to fight Ganondorf and gives him, gives Link the Ultra hand, which gives grant see the ability to levitate objects and like fuse like a bunch of vehicles and weapons and stuff, which has made the freaking game so amazing, like the amount of weapons and like just the way that you can battle enemies and everything insane in how the game does not break. You know, none of the code is like going crazy when you're trying to fuse all these different materials together. This is amazing. So yeah, Gavin's been playing that thing like every day after school. And since I don't have time to play, he's been telling me what weapons to create and all that. So the very first thing that he wanted was of course, the Ultra hand. So yeah, this would fit perfectly with the LED nudes. So we're on the little hand part for that now. And these are just being strung and attached in here with the little channels that are in the model. So you can see there, it's about a, it's like a two millimeter depth for the channel. So that should fit all of your LED nudes. So there'll be a coin cell battery to power this guy with a probably a hundred ohm resistor on there. So it's not super bright. Believe there is a hundred on this one too. Otherwise, like it definitely is bright enough to sort of start hurting your eyes a little bit. Oh, it's so bright. Can it really? Yeah, it can be. And I like how they designed this in the game so that it actually works pretty good as a wearable. So having like this whole part cut out so you can actually bend your hand. All right. So in the dark, this definitely lights up the room. Now it's supposed to be green color. Just got my green nudes for that. So I'll be swapping this out. And one of the updated models is actually still printing since it takes, it's like 17 hours to print this entire thing. This is just the like the forearm cuff. You can see here, definitely a ton of supports to lift all this stuff up. And that's big old brim on the bottom. It prints in this way. And yeah, I was able to chisel in all of the little details in there. Since I can't really bend the LED nudes into like a circle for this, a lot of the little details like that have been omitted. It was like, there is like a bunch of circles all over here. Like look all nice, but not going to mull it. If the main thing you're going to be looking at is the nudes on here. Yeah, that's a great project for these LED noodles. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This will be routed a lot more better. It's just hanging. Right, yeah. It's a prototype. Yeah, so getting all the fitting. Man, it's going to be a little bit painful removing this since I got the fitting better on this one. I did it on this one, so I'm going to have to leave this on for the entire show, but it's not too bad. It's just removing it. It's the sizing for the cuff. Yeah. I did see somebody, it was on cults. We're actually traced this from, but since they didn't model it for attaching electronics, it's basically just like game asset stuff. They probably downloaded, so wanted to make one that is completely editable inside a fusion. So all of the circles are all just sketches. So you can go in there, change the diameter and it'll update. So I am making a smaller size for the kiddos so they can to practice their levitation and have them wear this while they clean their rooms. Right. Go clean. That's fun. Okay. That could be awesome, wearable. Man, looks so cool. Yeah, yeah, it does. Yeah, it's gonna look great with the green and the arm attachment thing. I think the only thing that I'm not gonna do is there are a bunch of rings and each one, as you get like, what is it, a sand and auto build and all the additional different abilities, Link does gain an extra ring for each one. I need to finish this now, so. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it looks like a Ironman repulse sort of thing. Right, but on the other side, yeah. Yeah, but yeah. Nice. All right, nice. Takes forever to print, but super cool in terms of what you get at the end. Yes. It's like a bowie. Yeah, I've received lots of Link, Tis of the Kingdom style cosplaying this year. Oh man, yeah. Years to come, it's. Oh, it's. Definitely game of the year in my book. Game of the year, next year, I'm playing it every single evening for all I hear in a minimum of three hours. I'm playing a lot too. Yeah, I have a couple of project ideas. It's just kind of out there. We have a whole list. Yeah, we have a big list of tons and tons of props, swords, treasure chests, dispensers, like a bunch of other things. So many different products. We make the master sword. Yeah, we could remake that. Is there anything like the saw blade yet? Oh, yes, there is. You're working on it. The, yeah, the, the flux construct. Yes. It's a big old cylinder with spikes rotating you figured out how to do. Yes. Yeah, coaxial gears is a is a fun mechanism I haven't played with yet. So we'll see that works out. But I'm not gonna show that off yet. But yeah, it's. Yeah, I showed it on my Twitter of the, just the CAD animation of the gears meshing and motion linked together. But that's a big one. Long-term, we're waiting on the prop maker feather to be released hopefully next week. So that's a big product, what do you call it? You're muted, Pedro. Think you're hard to button, there you go. Oh yeah, yeah. It's gonna power every pop going forward. The prop maker feather, because this is an all in one feather running off the RP2040 chip, but having all the things that the prop maker feather wing has now all in one is gonna make it really a low profile and embeddable. So that's, that's what we're looking forward to. But your problem, it's just LEDs and a coins and a nine volt battery. So that's good too. Like it's important to have these kind of quick LED projects that don't require my controller and all this complexity. And, you know, the bomb is like expensive. But yeah, yeah. So it's hard to balance between the two. And this is definitely for, oh man, I should have had the username ready to share on here that one dude on Instagram. What I think he like does access or is link for Nintendo, like for the live events. He uses a bunch of the props that we've made like the shield and the saw blade, the master sword. Yeah, like a real life link. I mean, he freaking looks the part. Yeah. Oh, and Charlene's in the chat room too. No spoilers. Don't we? Oh yeah, I know. I didn't want to spoil it. She's super excited for the ultra hand prototype and then we are masters. Thank you. And master link is reliable. Yes, yes. Maker link. There you go. There's so much to think about it. Yeah, maker link. Get it. Cause like the whole point of the game is like you have the ability to craft like Minecraft. Yeah. Making all these devices and vehicles and you can, you can build like traps and stuff. It's pretty nuts. And then you can build houses and boats. It's like, oh my God. Have you seen the other? There's this whole like Star Wars, like building X-wings and oh my God, I haven't seen it. Writers, there's also in the video, there's this word. They're like on the comms talking, Red Leader One, Lighter One, are you ready? And they're like every single one, like all the ships, Star Wars ships and they're like doing a thing. Like getting all the... I hope they, I saw somebody say like, I really hope that they have an update for the game that allows you to share your creation somehow with like some sort of like, you know, file that you like can send. For an auto build, yeah. Yeah, sort of to do an auto build. Yeah, so you can like share. Like people are sharing their GPS or their longitude and latitude coordinates so that they can find whatever, you know, whatever spot they found this thing. So that's cool. But anyway, that's a lot of Zelda talk and you know, we're in it so. Everybody's like, everybody's playing. Yeah, so much the, like even like, like cultural wise, I like how like a lot of this stuff is like, Aztec-y and... Oh, Mesoamerican. Mesoamerican, yeah. The flame emitter definitely looks like, you know, Cossack Waddle and the Shrine. Even the people, like the clothes that they wear looks like the poncho and Peru and stuff. Yeah, yeah, it was very cool. Yeah, I kind of want to make a flame emitter. Squid is playing as he watches. Oh, that's funny. Yeah, I would be playing too. All right, next up, give me a sec. I have to queue up my screen here. So speaking of the prop maker feather that is coming out, I thought it'd be important to update a very old project. I'm going to have to share my entire screen here. So I'm going to go in tunnel mode for a second. All right, so I'm going to go into Fusion 360. I'm going to take a look at some CAD. So this is Adobot. Adobot is getting an RP2040 prop maker, prop maker feather. So I have been spending a lot of time modeling up Adobot. We have a 3D printable Adobot kit, but it was designed in like 2013 using Maya. So it's like a polygon kind of model. This one is all done in Fusion 360. We'll have a step file available so folks can modify it in different CAD programs, but it is going to be a snap fit together Adobot with a prop maker. It's going to have a lots of electronics. So the prop maker feather, a micro servo button, neopixel stick and a speaker for doing audio effects. So this is going to be a kind of animatronic toy. Adobot's head will be able to rotate and Adobot's arms will be able to rotate. Legs will be two pieces so that it can snap fit and be printed in different colors. The back here has a button to actuate sound effects, have access to the StemAQT port. You have some button pressers here for the reset and the boot button. You got a USB port there at the bottom. And I had fun learning how to create these gears that use motion link so that they rotate in the proper manner. So. How cool. Let me see it again. Yeah, so you can see here that the neck is free open so that all the electronic will fit in there. And then we'll have the speaker on the top of Adobot's head, the mini oval speaker. And it'll all be done in circuit Python code. And you'll be able to rotate the claws. Ooh, I need to fix that linkage there. I've merged the wrong thing there but you'll be able to rotate these claws. But mainly the thing that was gonna be servo driven is just the head, because I think it'd be too complicated to make, excuse me, make the arms rotate. I think the arms could just be articulating in this one rotation and the legs are kind of static. But maybe we can design a different set of legs that have like the flexible joint hinges so that it can kind of sit down or something or sit on your shoulder. Maybe it'd be fun little thing. But this is the starts of it. Yeah, it's basically using all of the accessories features from the prop maker. I do wanna have like the, I had the onboard accelerometer so I wanted to have like a sleep detection so we can lay Adobot on its side or lay down like this. It'll stop the head from moving and maybe it'll say like an audible note like I'm sleeping or something there, good night. That way you can shut it off when you're done playing with Adobot. So it's a fully featured Adobot. We haven't really done this before and thankfully the prop maker will make all this possible with just one dev board as opposed to like five different boards. Like if we used it back in the day, we would use a trinket, then we'd use a lipo backpack, then we'd have the sound effects board, then we'd have a thermometer that's like four boards. Oh, and then the amplifier that's five boards, power boost, if you wanted to have a rechargeable thing. So a lot of boards all come into one and then because of CircuitPython, all the audio files can just live on the board, reprogramming it easily and charge it all with just one USB port. So yeah, it'll hopefully be all support free, 3D printed parts that snap fit. I'm thinking maybe some magnets or the two arms so that you can print it like this and then it'll like clamp onto these little joints here. So yeah, I'm doing a lot of design considerations while making this. Yeah, so lots of CAD work. And this is the first time I'm using motion link, which allows you to link different joints together. So as you saw the head does that thing where the circle moves and so does the gear. So that is my prototype, Adibot. I still have a little bit of work to do on it and then lots of printing to make sure all the tolerances work out. But yeah, folks will soon be able to have their own. I'm excited. And I'm gonna try to Adibot something. I just saw some of the teal color. Remember we had a pretty tough time finding the Adibot teal color. I should have ordered it. I gotta look for it again. Yeah, it's fine. We can print it in any color. I've seen people print it in pink and green and black, like all sorts of colors for Adibot. So that'll be fun. Yeah. So hopefully the prop maker wheat, prop maker not wean, prop maker feather will be released hopefully next week. Wait, it's all one. So it doesn't need a feather. Yeah, it's a feather. It's great. It's all one. It's all one. Think like this is that whole part. Where it's just one of the more old headers to solder on and combine it with an old leaf wrap. With all the right ports for servo and skeeter. Amplifier's built in, so no need for an amplifier. Dang. It's gonna be a very nice prop. Yeah, this is good. Since we have so many props we gotta. Yeah, basically we're gonna have to redo all of the, like you said, the master sword, the guardian sword, all the most popular props, like we're gonna have to go back. The lightsabers, the dark sabers, the sabers, the lightsabers, all the sabers. They ought to be remade. Bender. We're gonna make a bender. All right, let me stop the screen and bring back this quad. So we can look at bender. Yeah, yeah, bender. Yeah, hopefully folks will be making, like a lot of robotic things. Yeah. Did you see the future almost coming back? I did, on Hulu. Yes, they are coming back. So maybe we'll see it. Pretty cool. That's it for prototyping. Yeah, next up I have, yeah. I finally did another layer by layer, and it's on this thing. This is a 3D printed case that snap fits, but has live hinges. So here's a case, and it has a live hinge here for this top cover. So that snap fits. And then this case is two halves that are joined together with a thin piece of plastic that is called a live hinge because it's a hinge that can move in all sorts of degrees. Thank you. And I designed the case to fit a piece of washi tape, a reel of washi tape. This is a very lovely craft masking tape, and it's got a whole community and tons of different... I need to print like 10 of these. All right, yeah. So this just houses one, so it spins in there, so it has a little holder for it, and it has this lip here that allows the two to snap fit, and they stay locked in there, and then you have some snaps in here, and then this closes on both of them like that. There's your live hinge. There's another live hinge. You could probably put a key ring here if you wanted to have this on your key chain or something. But yeah, it's just a little case that prints flat on the bed like this, all in one piece. And then you've got the top and the two halves that all fold together. So I did a layer-by-layer on how to design the step-by-step in Fusion 360. So check that out if you are interested. We'll have a link in the description. And then we also have the file. Let me see if I can go back to us. I have the printables file on printables. So I'm trying to find us here. Here we go. Yeah, so I released the file. Fusion 360 file and the step file. The STL file as well. So Yalkin, make it if you are a fan of washi tape. I also made it a version that holds just like some regular gadgetry adapters. What was I gonna say? The other type of tape that does not like to stick or doesn't like to stay coiled. What the hell is the name of it? Oh, the copper tape. Yes, yes, the copper one. Yeah, that one's bigger than that. Yeah, so this is parametric. You can update this to scale it up to whatever reel of tape. So you can do that. I also have this version that has these two USB-C dongles. So if you want to lay out the dongles. The original case inspiration was a piece of floss. Like it has that foldable case. The, I think it's oral, be dental floss that has a similar case design that inspired me to recreate it for 3D printing with no supports. So pretty much the same concept just scaled down differently with last fillets. I did get myself a spool of TPU filament from MatterHackers. I wanna try printing the first two layers. Yeah, yeah. That's how thick this is. The life hinges are 0.4 millimeters. So that's two layers. And then I'll swap the filament for the PLA so that the rest of the model is, the rest of the part is rigid, but the first layer is flexible. So it will hopefully last longer. Cause right now I feel like if I keep bending the top cover, eventually you can see how it's kind of turning white. They'll probably break off eventually if I keep flexing it over and over again. So, but this part here, it seems to be holding up pretty good just because of the way it's not being straight. There's not a straight point along the access here. So I feel like this could be problematic if it was only PLA. So I'm gonna try that out and I'll report back next time with that filament swap technique. Cause now these days, like the printers and the slicers, they have a pretty easy way to set up filament swaps. So you don't need a drill extruder. You just need to tell it to swap the filament, pause the print and then change out the filament. So yeah. And these days you can print the TPU, not the NinjaFlex flexible one, but like the, what is it? 95A. 95A. Yeah. So that is, that's the shop talk. We've got some foldable snap fits. Very fun. Let's see. I had a comment. I cannot find it now. Oh, real quick on how long does it take to estimate project like Adabot? Like taken from inception until your first, it works assembled prototype? Hmm, it's a good question. It's from David Michael here on YouTube. I haven't been to keep it track, but I've been modeling it for, let's say maybe 12 hours now, on and off throughout a couple of days. I'll put in like an hour or two each day, but like it's probably like 12 hours of CAD work just because like I'm being very thorough about the design. Every project's gonna be different. This one is sort of taking a little bit longer because I haven't done the coaxial gears before. So I'm learning that. So yeah, it's taking a while. Then there's other projects that take just two hours like this bird, like you could just do it in two hours of modeling if you're familiar with the modeling. Again, we're waiting on hardware so I can't even really finish it. Oh yeah, it's hard work. So it's taking this some longer. It's taking a while. We're out of nudes and then I was out of filament and then holidays, things like that. Yeah, I think if we weren't doing a learn guide we would be able to create it quicker. But I think we take longer because we go the extra mile to make it. We put, it takes longer to make something that can be disassembled if really does. And we try to make it easy to disassemble because when we're documenting we can't, we'd have to make two or something if we glued it. So it takes a while to design that extra bit of layer that allows you to take it apart. I was like, I'm gonna put it through here instead of just gluing it. That just takes longer, so yeah. Yeah, so it's gonna take a while. But hopefully we'll be able to build it a lot faster because all the documentation will be done and all the parts will be tested and all the code is there. So we hope that in a weekend you'll be able to build your Adavot or you can build your lightsaber, that sort of thing. If you have all the parts on hand. Yeah. But ballpark takes about a month to complete a project. Yeah, especially if it's a new one with new hardware. Yeah, like a month. We've actually been waiting on this for about a month. Yeah. If not longer. Yep. All right, cool. Let's go ahead and jump into this week's community makes. All right. First one, I do not have on hand the Benchy with a storage. Second one, I think the kids took it and left it in the pool or something. Okay. Second one is everybody's favorite character to rescue. This week's community make is a Korok planter. I like that the plan just fell out. Well, so. So. Yeah, you can put a real plant in there but thankfully you didn't yet because now we can look inside the Korok. No, it's this. And it is indeed hollow. It's pretty top heavy. It's fake. Yeah. But yeah, it's a planter. So Dulux Trudid on this guy. Check out the quality on that. Yeah, that's phenomenal. Dulux Trudid on an Ultimaker S5? Yeah, Ultimaker S5, there's been a ton of firmware upgrades on that thing. Like every week it seems like it wants to update. So whatever fine tuning they've been doing is really good. This is just default. I didn't mess with any of the settings. The leaf is glued on. So that prints separately with the duel. Got the black and the green on there. And then the stem is just glued on there. And this is just glued to the front there. I know I showed a different one in the time lapse because I can set up the time lapse for doing the dual extrusion. It's a little bit more tricky and it doesn't look as smooth as the single extrusion time lapses. But yeah, I don't know what the size is. I have it listed in the time lapse, but it's big enough to have a medium-sized plant. Especially if it's on a moss pole or something. This is good enough to hold. Especially since his feet are acting to balance him. Step back. And he has a little lily pad. So you can have a little for your drainage hole. Oh right, that's so smart and clever. So you can catch any water coming out of the drainage hole. That's great. I love these little guys. So you can rescue him, take him to his friend. Or everybody's been doing tortures. Yeah, so this is an awesome design. It's $1.50. We definitely support designers that are selling their stuff because it's a lot of work to do these things. Yeah, this is a really good one. Is it also single extruding too? Yes, it's MMU and single. Yeah, yeah. So if you've got yourself a Prusa with the MMU or the bamboo printers, the carpet one, I think has that dual extrusion. Yeah, you want a bamboo. Everybody wants a bamboo. I know, doing four colors would be pretty cool. So this was designed by PLA and PA. So check out their design. It's on cold 3D and all the pieces are here. Oh, check it out. I did print the single extrusion ones. The eye pieces, unfortunately, do not fit. It's not, it's too big. Yeah. It's not even snug, it just won't press in. Okay. Well, it was awesome. We have a time-lapse video here. Yeah, there it is. Here's what I was talking about. This is just the rainbow-colored one, just to show the time-lapse. Yeah, that's cool. It's so big. Yeah, it's pretty big. It can fill up the bed and plate there. Yeah. It takes quite a while. 21 hours. Ooh. I think it's longer when you're doing dual extrusion because it has to park the head, do the purge, or do the retraction. This green is different too. It looks like a more transparent green. Yeah, that's all I had left. I used it all up actually on the lily pad. You can see that it changes from a lighter green to a darker green. That's why I have all those spools coming in because I have a couple of spools that are like, it just has a little bit left that I just need to talk about. Replenish your spools. Very cool. All right, that is the problem. Filament for this is the, what's that company? Filamentum? Yes, Filamentum, the sparkly stuff. And then for the brown, we're doing the protopasta. Protopasta? Yeah, they have some good sparkly Filamentum. And the green is just like, are there any that not even around anymore? Melting. So all the film that I just ordered is like no name stuff. Well, that's, you just got to get what you can. So I tend to get my stuff from MatterHackers. They tend to stock good stuff too. So that's another option. But that's here in the States. If you've got somebody else, the distributor and where you're from, just check them out. All right, that is the community makes. Oh, I got a comment right here. Also from David, Michael saying, thanks, great work. We built the lightsaber from your article and we're excited to get this one too. Sweet, yeah. So looking forward to folks building their own adobots. Cool. All right, next up we have a ton of community makes. So let's get through these in the next 10 minutes or so. All right, first up, yeah. First up, we have one straight from Discord. This is an Epic one, very Epic. You ready for this? So, watching. All right, this was posted on the show Intel channel of the 8 of your discord channel. And squid.jpeg who's watching right now, they made three dark sabers. Wow. Dude, I love that pink one. Yeah, the pink one is super dope. So three of them. And they said, had so much fun building one that I had to build two more. Also real custom code take advantage of the RGB and the RGB button. So the RGB button will go with the color of the blade to prevents the same sound from playing twice in a row to make the motion detection work on all three axes and to smooth out the blade animation between state transitions. Also made one of the pink because why not? That is an awesome build. I love seeing folks add more features to their builds because that is what we like to see. It's an open source design. So folks adding their own stuff to it is really great to see. So shout out to Squid for making so many of those builds. Amazing. All right, let me try the next one. Hey, this one is another prop, a little bit of a 2016 prop, but this one is the hammer, the golden hammer from the Fixit Felix character from Wreck-It Ralph. So Sizzler on Thingiverse puts it up their make of this very shiny golden hammer. Are you seeing it? Yeah. Okay. I like that gold color. Yeah, that gold color is really nice. Let's see if they posted what kind of, it's called the 3DE PLA Silky Gold. Hmm. Put it on a CRS10, CR10S Pro from Quilty. Yeah, it looks great. Yeah, this would be another good prop maker project remake because I think it, I think you use like the sound effects board and then you can drink it and like a battery thing. Yeah, so that's cool. Right, the next one. See what it is. Somebody, this is the first make of the LED noodle lantern. Very cool. They customize it a bit to match, I think the Star Trek. So this was posted by Section 31. So that's a very cool LED noodle lamp. Quite the challenging build as well. They shared their trials and tribulations on this one in the comments. So it's a rather lengthy one, but it's one of those projects where you kind of have to build it as a ship and a bottle. It's just a challenging build. Okay, an on-air sign, this is another one. This is by NYY47 printed on their bamboo X1 carbon. And Go Bills, I guess that's the sports team in the back there. But yeah, if you're looking for an on-air sign, we have a, I think two of them now. We've designed and made run guides for. And then we have another make. This one is of the older Adabot. Adabot in 2014, I think. So MM posted this one up on printables and they customized the model so that it has like a star and they think they colored in some of the things. So very fun. Yes, Adabot is getting an upgrade. After Adabot, we have our first semi-make. It's almost there. Shamar on printables posted up their print of the Epcot Spaceship Earth project from two or three weeks ago. And they have it in this lovely black sparkling, kind of sparkling, maybe it's just texturized filament. They said they were waiting on the electronics. But yeah, that was great. And this was posted like on the day that I released the files on May 17th. That was very fast, printed overnight. And I actually got a support email this morning about what are some alternate boards? Basically any ESP8266 or ESP32, board will work. But you just want to be careful with like the power, you know, the power, powering the five volt, you know, pixel strip. But yeah, the Feather Hazah is a good example of like an alternate. Because we know that the QDPI is at its back right now, the Pico 32. So yeah, and then the WLED website has like a list of hardware, supported hardware. So you could always take a look at those if you want to use a different board. So that's cool. All right, moving along. After that, we have two more to get through. And then we are caught up for the next, from the past two weeks, or three weeks maybe. This is the Disney Magic Band reader using an RFID reader from Wizkit. So Slinga posted this up on printable. It says nice design, tons just for pretty loose. But it works as advertised in the kids, love it. That looks great. Nice. That's a nice Magic Band reader. It's the Tinkerbell one. Yeah, you would know, the Tinkerbell one. Yeah, and it works with all Magic Band readers, all versions of it, because they all use the same kind of RFID. RFID, yeah. And the RFID, Wizkit board has the ability to memorize and I think save up to 10 different RFID chips. So you can load it up with all sorts of Magic Bands. Or anything really, that's an RFID chip. So yeah, very cool. Glad to see people are making that one. And then we have two more here. Seconds to the last one is another dark saber. This was posted up by Bollounder, printed in PETG black and translucent. That looks really good. Look at that, shiny black. Very cool. And now we're on to the last one. This is a post of the Nefertini bust that we kind of modified. There's a bit of a controversy with this one when it first came out. We took the step file and the STL and we derezded it and turned it into a planter. I remember it had a bunch of polygons and we had to tone it down a bit so that the slicer could take it without crashing. But yeah, folks are still making this. It's a good planter. Nicolay posted this up. It's a great model, thank you. And everybody seems to be using this new support tree style of supports. Yeah, I have not. Cause last time I used it, it was not good at all. Really? Yeah, like the way it generates it, it's like. I mean, I haven't used it in a while, but when you try it. Maybe for sure, I've seen a lot of people use it. People are using it to kind of go with the design of whatever part they're making. I've seen folks do that. So it's like they're integrating the tree support to the, as a design element in their part, which is fun to see. And then I think there's, yeah, there's a bamboo, isn't it? Yeah, this is bamboo left. Yeah, I think maybe the bamboo slicer has. I was going to say, that's probably why everybody's doing it. Cause so many folks are sharing their prints from their new bamboo printer. So we're seeing a lot of it. Cool. It took us a while to get on the Creelty bandwagon, remember, like for years. And we're kind of exclusively on these, not exclusively, but we use the Creelty's quite a bit here. All right. So I've been posting links in the private chat, not the other chat to post everywhere else. Really? Oops. I am getting this weird copy, paste issue, or instead of a space, it's posting the pound 20, you know, to the hex for a space. What the heck is going on? It's, when I copy stuff off of Google Docs, I paste it into something, like we're doing blog posts. I paste in all of the fricking like hex code. That's like 20% here, 20% there for all my spacing. Yeah, it sounds like some HTML. Is there an option? Is there an option inside of the Google Docs to not copy, to copy plain text? Not, we'll have to, you have to take a look on your, I don't know. This is so annoying. That's fun. Google changed something? Cause this didn't used to happen. Okay. Well, I'm seeing you're on the chat thing here on the StreamYard that you're posting it on all the channels, so. That was just one. If you go to the private chat. Oh, I see your private chat, yeah. I've been posting every fricking link. Well, we're still learning. It's our first year using this software. I like it. I'm using it for my layer by headers. Yeah, absolutely. It's really good, yeah. So I'm a fan of StreamYard. Yeah, definitely worth the, I forgot how much it pays. Yeah, it's like a subscription fee. It's also free though, too. If you have like a quarter mark or something, maybe. Yeah. All right, I think we caught up on everything we needed to. We're two minutes before the show ends and we have lots of stuff we're working on. Next week, we are taking off next week. I am gonna be visiting Pedro in Florida. So I'm up here in Massachusetts and we, yeah, we're gonna take a week off next week to catch up and I'll be in the central Florida area. If folks have a planned trip to Disney, maybe we'll meet up and see folks. We'll be there. Yeah, we'll be there. And tonight is, what is it? Just look at the comments. Okay. Tomorrow, Google Docs doing this funky. Is it Google Docs? Yeah. Yeah, because I've noticed it with the blog post. I have to now copy all of my usual speed, the footer and the header stuff. Yep. Post it in the app. I think not. Yeah, the notes. Copy from the notes, it pays in plain text perfectly. And I copied off of Google Docs. It puts all that friggin' HTML code in there. It's like, dude, I want plain text, not that. Are you in Chrome? I am in Safari. Maybe it's a Chrome thing. It's probably a Chrome thing, yeah. I would use Chrome. I would try using Chrome. I haven't used Safari in a minute. Well. You still use Chrome for the, for the ESP. Oh yeah. The Web Serial? Yeah, the Web Serial. That's fine. Oh, I used it on, when I installed WLED, Chrome picked it right up. That's the only thing you can use, yeah. So for hardware stuff, that's what Chrome is there for. Yeah, Web Serial. Cool. Well, tonight we have more shows. Ask an engineer at 8 p.m. And before then is Show and Tell. It's gonna be hosted by Melissa Mcblanche. She will be hosting this week. I think I'll come on with the bird if everything goes as planned. Yeah, so come on by and hang out. We invite you to come on to Show and Tell. It's at 7.30 p.m. Eastern time. We'll drop in a link in the Discord chat room a couple of minutes before the Show and Tell time. And last week was hosted by J.P. John Park and Aaron St. Blaine. So come on by and share your stuff. We love seeing folks from the community share their stuff. We'll have another coupon code as well on Ask an Engineer and some more products and stuff. I am out of energy now. All right, it's lunchtime. All that's left to forget to make a great day. Bye, everybody. We'll see you in two weeks. Bye-bye. Yeah, bye.
