 Hey, what's up, folks? Welcome back to another 3D Hangouts. My name is Noeve Ruiz. I'm a designer here at Adafruit. Joining me every week is my brother Pedro Ruiz. Good morning, everybody. I'm Pedro Ruiz Creative Tech here at Adafruit, and every week we're here to share 3D-printed projects featuring electronics from Adafruit. That's right. This is the show we combine 3D-printing and DIY electronics to make inspirational projects for you. That's right, you, the viewer. We're Hangout in the Discord chat room. We're going to say hi to everybody in just a moment, but first we, what are we doing? We're going to say hi. This is episode 403. We got lots of fun projects, prototyping, shop talk, community makes, all that and more on, you guessed it, 3D Hangouts. Pedro, how can people get to the Discord? I'm on and Hangout in any of the chat rooms, but especially the Discord over at discord.gg slash Adafruit. Also Hangout in the YouTube chat, in the Facebook, on Twitch, and Periscope. The four horsemen of social media. Yes. Yeah. Well, welcome, everybody. We have all the things, Andy Callaway hanging out, the Dew Wester all hanging out live on the Discord channel.

So if you want to pick up anything today, you have an opportunity to get some money off. Yay. And that is I'm skipping just my angle here. All right. Let's go ahead and get off the show. This week we're showing off inspired by Super Mario movie, the magic wand, FX magic wand. He's one of the magic Koops. And we have the Adafruit RP2040 prop maker Feather. Yeah. In here. So we have light sounds motion. So we have the LIS 3H inside here that has the accelerometer so it can detect like a swing and do its little activation. You can also activate with the arcade button and shoot your enemies. Super cool. I have access to the slide switch on the side here. And then we have the USB-C little port inside here, which is also acting as a speaker hole. Gem on top spins. I don't think it spins in the actual movie, but use that as an excuse to have the servo on there. Let's see what else. The battery is mounted on the inside and then the servo is on top and the gem is just like a servo horn. Of course, it's running a circuit python. Liz did an excellent job of getting this all nice and coated up. And it's in that pretty big size for print. It takes about, I'm gonna say like 10 hours, I think, just for the handle part, about five hours for the top and the gem. But it is an excellently solid build. Everything is all held inside with screws and like snap fit parts. Excellent prop to go along with your Magic Coop or Kemic cosplay. Yeah. So it's playing back a wave file and I just took a couple of the sound effects from a bunch of the Super Mario games and did a little mix to create the sound effect. Cool. Yeah. So the prop maker feather uses the RP2040 chip. The accelerometer is the LIS3DH. The amplifier is the I2S amplifier. So it's got really good high quality digital audio so you can control the volume through code. It's a very nice all around like board USB charging for the lipo battery. It's got some extra like features like you can, you can change the amplifier's gain with like a jumper. And you can also cut one of the traces to make it work with like regular AA batteries, which is nice. The servo headers allow you to just plug and play servos. So we're trying to figure out how to like incorporate more servos into our props. And of course you got screw block terminals. So you can just plug everything in and screw it down. So it makes connecting a little bit easier. Is your mic muted? Yes, because I didn't want to do the same effects while you're talking. Right. So it can get pretty, pretty loud too with the right speaker. So that's really cool. And of course, NeoPixel driver. So you can get a clean five volt signal to your NeoPixels. And yeah, it's got everything you need for a prop. We've been doing props for a very long time. And this is such a great like upgrade to all of the props now. So we're going to have to go back and remake all the props with the prop maker feather. Yeah, it was such a pleasure to build this because of the term block terminals on there. You're able to, you don't have to solder anything on there. So you can just easily connect it if you need to thread wires through like you do for the LEDs on here. It's easy to disconnect, have it thread through the hole and then reconnect it. So you don't have to do that little jumping through the hoops of soldering things. And you can share connections too. So I believe about four wires will fit per terminal since you do have quite a bit of spacing in there when you open that guy. I can kind of see there. Yeah, mechanism there that holds everything together or tightens on to the wire. So that's helpful for sharing the ground connections. So yeah, button and the LED. You do have to share the ground. And that was so easy to do to player. And then yeah, you were saying before you have access to yours. You have dedicated speaker terminal on there for your button, your five volts and dedicated data and for your new pixel. Yeah. Yeah, lovely. So screen. So you get all the labels there. Another feature on there is the stem of QT port. So if you wanted to add an OLED display, a TFT display over I squared C, you can add sensors as well. So that just makes it all around amazing that you can just add on all these things. It's just plug and play. We'll probably have to figure out how to incorporate some sort of sensor and display to our props, which is really cool. Yeah. So if this was a prop that required a little tiny screen, I would definitely would have added that on there. Yeah. Oh, like the the alphanumeric displays, like if you're doing like a like a weapon or something, have like ammo, you can have that work in there or an eight by eight LED backpack, you can do that. And then we connect right into the the stem of court. So lots of amazing features on this brand new dev board needs to be coming our favorite dev board right now because it's just got everything we need. We don't have to connect multiple boards anymore. Really like it. And because it's an RP 2040, it's very versatile. You do or do we know you can do circuit Python shows up as a USB drive. So you just drag and drop your audio files. And the code's, you know, very, very easy to modify. Yes, super easy. You can adjust the threshold for the flick. So if you don't want your kids swinging around too much, yeah, shake detection. Yeah. Yeah. So we've got really good libraries for circuit Python and just go in there and edit it. Just cool. Yeah. Check out the chats real quick. And he says it looks like a giant ice cream cone. Yeah. And that it looks like the microphone. So of course, yeah, the kids being sung all throughout development. Yeah. Let's go ahead and jump into the learn guide for this. All right, you can drive it. Your learn guide. So you got all of the assembly code. Shout out to Liz for doing the code page. It's got a nice breakdown. And then all the parts. Hopefully we'll get some we'll start manufacturing some more prop makers. We had a small batch go out as we do with new products just to kind of make sure that we get all the all the things right. But yeah, you can sign up to get notified when they are back in stock. The prop maker is currently out of stock. But hopefully we'll have them back in stock. But we do have everything else, speakers, batteries, pixels. All those are in stock. Yeah. So we started with a little breakdown of the prop maker feather 2040 version. All the lovely features we just talked about the amp, the terminal block board, servo connection, the headers, you can easily connect those the lia the lis 3dh. You can do three watt new pixel LEDs. So you can have it go super bright, specifically for the lightsabers, which will have to be remade. And then for the LEDs are just using the ring to simplify that since it's just cylinder. We have the continuous servo inside the mini LED arcade button quick connects for connecting that up. Then the little small four ohm three watt speaker. Super loud, nice and bassy. I don't know if you heard it on there, when you have it on a table, it is there's a lot of bass. So it's like somebody was asking if you could add like a like a rumble pack to it. And if you have bass in your audio file, that speaker will do the rumbling for you. Using the 2200 mAh cylindrical battery slide switch and two of these battery extension cables. So we can reach the speaker and the battery to the other going on to the circuit diagram. You can see how everything is wired up super easy. Everything plugs in where it needs to go. It's all nicely labeled. John added a nice schematic of how all of these are actually connected to each pin on the feather. These are mandatory here. Liz did the Python setup page. So again, see how to get into the boot loader for that super easy. I could figure out a way to route this out so it could be like outside of the prop. So you'd have to like open it up to actually get to this. But once you have it already programmed, you shouldn't need to go back in there. Yep. So that's the break end of that. And then the code for the magic wand. It's an excellent job of setting this up for the user. You can just download the project bundle and I'll have all the code as well as the wave sound effect already inside of there. So you can swap that out or change the name of it, have it be something else. And then you could read through here some of the options you can change like the brightness, the threshold for the servo, the brightness, the audio levels, the file that you want to choose, the animation for the gem, choose it as well. Yep. And then like a breakdown of each of the specific parts and how they work, how to load everything in, servo, that awesomeness that makes it all work. Moving on to the 3D printing. I said before it is going to be sort of a long print for the handle part since it is one piece. No supports required for these parts right here. The only one that is going to need supports is the handle. And then I show you where to actually put the supports for that. And the handy dandy settings that I always use to optimize how much supports are actually being used. The density for that I think is the most important part. You don't need so much. And the defaults like 50% or something like that, which will make it very difficult to remove and you're just using so much supports that you don't need. Moving on to the assembly. First thing that I want to do was to solder the 12 decibel amp gain pad. So on the back, you can see there, there's a 6 and a 12 decibel increase for the amplifier. You can just bridge two connections, the center and the 12B. That's just ensures that it's loud enough. Since it is going to be inside the case, you want it to be a little bit loud. We can start connecting a lot of the cables at this step as well like the speaker extension wire using the JST two pin socket extension. And we'll connect a speaker to that later. We can have our battery, the, not battery, our button wires. It's going to connect to a 5 volt ground in the button terminal block. We're just using the quick connects for that. Yeah, that's fine. So the way to mount this feather, there is a little bit of funkiness with where the terminal block is set up. It's actually covering a little bit. Yeah, I think it covered a bit. So if you want to use screws, maybe like M2 screws, right? I just used the part that I have, the three printed little mount for it has a little pins that go inside there. So I'm not actually using screws in there. I'm just using a stabilizer. Yeah, that's good. The screws are actually going on the other side right here. So those aren't obstructed at all. I think that even an M2, I don't know, it might like move around. Hmm. Okay. I might move around since it's a little bit smaller. So yeah, the pins that press fit in there are nice and snug. So it won't. So that's the only funkiness with that. Okay. And it's super easy to line up. And we're just using M2.5 by five millimeter long screws. And then on the sides of that mount, we have an additional mounting screws to attach to the base of the wand. Once we fasten that in, we can set up our neopixel ring. Super simple assembly. It's just soldering to the top so that when you press fit it into the base, the wires aren't underneath it. So that's the only thing with that. I don't want to go on a tangent there, but the little holders that I'm using here at the beginning, these, how do you pronounce it? Omni something clip? I think OmniFixo. OmniFixo. Yeah, they have great magnetic spring-loaded clamps that have silicone heat-resistant grabbers so they won't bite into your fragile wires. Very nice. Very highly recommended. Yeah. You hear how holding everything together. The best helping hand. So good. A lot more better than any of the alligator clips, because every time that you're soldering a wire, it'll bend it because it's just too much pressure on it. These clips have just enough pressure to hold everything together without pinching anything. Sweet. All right, so out of that tangent, let's you solder up your LED ring that press fits onto the base, and then we have little holes here so you can pass all the wires through. Okay, yep. So just right here, and then we can connect that on the other side to the terminal lock. Yay. That looks like that. So there is the, the board will be raised just enough so you can pass wires through there. That's four there. That's good. Connect all those up, and then we can start mounting our servo. So this guy just press fits. The wall for that is long enough to, to where you can swing this around. Now I couldn't figure out how to actually add the mounts to actually screw this in, but the, the way that this press fits in is pretty good. So just sit at that. It's long enough. So it's not going to just fall out when you're swinging it. That's good. And the tolerance is pretty tight. After that super simple connection, it's just aligning the header pin to the ground, the voltage, and the ground. Yeah. The little header here, it is built into the RP2040. Yeah. Moving on to mounting the battery, there is a little section here where you mount the battery into, just press fits. And then on the other side of this, you can't see it here. There's a little stop. So you can push it all the way down into that. And it'll have a little end stop. So it can't go all the way through. And there are little holes in there. If you need to take out the battery, you can use one of our, one of those little prying tools to sort of push out. Spudger. Spudger. Yeah, you can use the Spudger to pop it out if you need to. And then right on top of that goes a speaker mount. So it's just a little frame. Oh, ice cream. It's starting to feel more and more like an ice cream comb. Oops. Trying to load it up so I don't have a picture of it, but it looks like that. Oh, okay. It's a little frame. It's a little framing bracket. The body of the speaker. Yep. So the base or the magnet of the speaker, that's what this fits into. And again, nice tolerance. So it squeezes right in and it won't fall out. And this just press fits in and you'll have enough room to move over your battery JST connection out of the way. So you can then hook up an extension cable so that a reach to the board. Yeah, that's what we're doing right here. I don't know why my Safari is so slow for clicking on things. That's what this is right here, the extension for the battery. Yep. Once all that is set up, you can start moving the base and the handle together. So you'll pass the button wires through the little button mount hole. Yep. And then one thing I think I'll show in the next shot is how to share your ground connection for the LED inside the button. That's how this looks like. I'm pretty much just soldering to the top of this. Yeah. So we have two little magnets. That's smart. Okay. Because otherwise you're running multiple wires. Yeah, do that. Yep. And that's what this looks like. The connections for that you can reference the arcade button on what connection goes where we're the power, because there is like two powers or two positives on the terminals. Yeah. And after that, it simply mounts so you can press fit it in. I made the tolerance loose enough so it just pushes it instead of having to screw it in. Yeah. Which design we had, which project we had where we had to screw it in. That doesn't make sense. We have wires because you're going to twist them all together. Yeah. Or there's a nut, I think it comes with the button. Oh, yes, yes, yes. You can use the nut if you want. Because of the angle, it's kind of hard to get in there. Oh yeah, you probably can get in there. Exactly. The slide switch, I don't have a good picture of that, but it's pretty much how all of our slides switches work where you insert it in at an angle and there's these two little walls that hold it in place. Yeah, that's good. You have like chamfers around so you can still access the little switch. See, after that, just align your USB-C port to the little cutout on the handle. And that's pretty much it. There are four additional screws that connect the base and the hand together. Okay. Assembly of the gem and the horn. The horn press fits into these little, I don't know what they're called. It's like a little edge on the inside of the gem and it just goes right past it. The tolerances just allow it to press fit into place and then you have the little horn that goes into the stem of the servo. Yeah. And that's it. Woo-hoo. There you go. Nice easy assembly, just lots of parts and having to do the order of operation for installing all the pieces. Yep. Yeah, there's still going to be cables and stuff for all the components when you got LEDs and buttons. Those don't normally come with wires, so you always got to make your own wires. But from there, it's easier to just screw them into the board instead of having to solder them into the board. So that's really cool. All right. Well, that's a good breakdown. I was going to show the Fusion 360 file to just show how the board is mounted, but I can't get it to, does it stop screen sharing? Is that what this presents? Yeah, you have to stop. There's screen. There it is. I don't know why it's so freaking slow. All right, let's see if I can navigate around here with just the trackpad. Yeah. Yeah, it's going to be challenging. I could also get the split view here so you can see how everything is mounted. There you go. Hey, nice cross section. Yeah, so the last minute thing that I added on here is which angle to have your feather mounted. So I have a little tech center that's USB. So yeah, because I had, when I was filming assembly, I'm like, oh, no, this doesn't, what, this doesn't align properly. I'm like, oh, no, I just had it the wrong way. Really? Okay. This is just flipped right here. All right. But yeah, that's the only thing to watch out for. And like I was saying here, the walls here are tall enough to hold the servo with enough tolerance. Yeah. Same thing with the LEDs here. And if you, for some reason need to pop it out, I did add these little grooves in here so you can insert, spud your tool and pop it out. So it's highly modular. Always think about that because we're always assembling, reassembling and disassembling stuff for tolerance testing or for updating parts and the, we have to film stuff. Oh yeah. Is the little channel that I was talking about, the gem. So this horn goes right past it. And you can kind of see it when it illuminates. The only thing I wasn't happy about the build is, yeah, you can see where that little channel for that is. Of course, it's not going to show up now. No, I thought you could barely make it out. Yeah. That's actually why I wanted to keep it as the red PLA color, but both you and Gavin were like, no, we want to see the rainbow. Like, okay, yep. All right. Yeah. That's pretty much it. Nice little assembly or breakdown of how this is all set up. Yep. Yep. We have STLs. I exported the step file and the fusion file. Folks want to use a different CAD package. You're more than welcome to use Blender or free CAD. They all support a step file format because it's kind of open. So I've had it. Maybe folks can print their customized their own like gem piece. Maybe you can add an ice cream scoop or something. Or add the, what is it, the texture on it to actually be the microphone. Right. Yeah. Change it on there. Or you add like spikes to it or something. That'd be cool. Yeah. I mean, all the Koopa kids have like a custom wand. So maybe model it to one of those. Yeah. I was looking for it. It's like, oh yeah, all the Koopa kids have one. Koopa kids. Yeah. All right. Take a moment to catch up on some comments. John Beck is saying hello from scan the war world. Hello. That's very fun. I like that project. Teaking tech saying hello. Hope you guys are doing well. Thank you. Hope you are as well. And then on discord, we got some couple of gifts for Mario here from Yanni. Hey, it does work as a flashlight. Yeah. It's pretty bright. And Andy Callaway is looking for the OmniFixio. It's out of stock. Yeah. A lot of people bought it. It came out the first week. Well, can we give you guys a secret since you guys are watching? Yeah. Pull it up. Omni. Pedro just bought the clips and then like, we are using, you're using the base that we stock in the Adafruit store. Actually have the box here. Yeah. We stock this thing here. It's the magnetic plate for like a soldering workstation. It comes with these magnetic clips, but they're not as kind of good as the, as the OmniFixio ones. There they are. So if you, like you were saying before, if you get just the clips. Yeah, just get the clips. Those are available for like, like immediately. Yeah. I guess their base is nice too. I mean, it's kind of small. The one we have is like a little bit bigger than that. Yeah. We don't know what we're talking about. Yeah. Be pulling it up. Yeah. Yeah. What PCB holder? Um, I would say, oh, I have the ID. Oh, you got it? Yeah. And the benefit is that you'll have these additional little magnetic holders as well. I'm not seeing it on your screen yet. Oh, yeah. It might be a different tab or something. This is now shop talk. There it is. Where am I? You're, you're wherever you are, you're there. Oh, okay. Yeah, it was a, oh my God. So confusing. 5253 is the PID. I don't know. Yeah, don't, it's not showing. Uh-huh. I see your discord screen. Yep. Yep. That's the learn guide. Where am I? Okay. Move that. Lost and off. Share screen. Share that screen. Is it sharing now? Because it like takes it away. All right. If you scroll down, it's right here. Just get the clips. Just the clips. Okay. Yes. A ship like in four days, as opposed to what? August? Yeah, the whole set, yeah. Yeah. And sad trombone, probably longer because it is with USPS. Oh, okay. Yeah, it can be a little speed. Thank you, sir. Yours were stuck somewhere. Yeah, mine's stuck in PA. I ordered them over the holiday weekend. So that makes sense. I have the thing here. This is the metal workstation that we start. It's magnetic. Comes with these magnetic kind of holder bits. And these like, you know, these standard helping hands, which are prone to melt. So be careful with these, because I did melt them when I was away. Wait, wait, what? What did you say? I melted these little caps here, these little rubber. Oh, me too. I melted them when I was using it. Like, oh, they didn't use silicone? Okay. No, they're not. They're like, PVA or something. Uh-huh. It's like, toxic. It smells. When you burn it, it's toxic. Very bad. But anyway, that's a good alternative to the metal piece, metal base. Yeah, it's funny. That's the only part holding everything back, which is not the metal piece that you want. Oh, it comes with rubber feet too. That's nice. Yeah, very nice. So if you're in the market for a new station, uh, if you're soldering anything together, holding things to film, like, yeah, those clamps look great. Awesome. Yeah, not these clamps, but the OmniFixO ones. Yeah, these are so-so. Yeah. They did the socks. If you want to pick it up, we got the Magic Wand coupon good. Yes, yes. All right, moving on to prototype. Oh, prototype, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. So the long-awaited Adabot. How do you- here we go. All right, well, we're dragging it up. Here we go. Adabot is a 3D printed animatronic kit that we're building for the PropMaker RP2040 feather. So it's all 3D printed. It has adjustable arms. It's fine. These are little details like the eyes, the mouth. There's a speaker up here. We have a slide switch, a button for triggering audio sound effects. The legs are movable. They're articulating, and I think I just broke it. Yeah, I just broke it. I'm going to have to print that again, maybe with some better printing settings. Yeah. Yeah, that's how you can tell it's a bad print. That's why I have this one, though. All right. So I am getting everything together. Let me go ahead and do a little demo. It's running some demo code from Phil B. The USB port is right here. It's accessible. We have one like a data box. Wow. So the neck has a gear, and then there's a microservo that is mounted right here behind the button. And we have a NeoPixel stick that is inside the mouth that's mounted there. And we're using, of course, circuit Python for the code. And that's pretty much what it does. So we'll have audio coming through once you press the button. It'll trigger different audio effects. And then I'm thinking maybe when you lay it about down, it'll stop the servo head from moving. And what else? Yeah, it's just kind of a fun adabot. We did adabot many years ago. And I think all we had was just a light up mouth. Now that we have servo control and really good support for audio, we can do audio effects. So let me, now I'll skip it for now, but this is a prototype, right? One legged adabot. His leg broke. I'll go ahead and disconnect it and show how I have the electronics mounted. It's got a snap fit back cover. So this comes out. And then you can see that that's the servo is mounted to its own thing right behind a button, just a regular button, no LED servo wiring is kind of big. So I had to trim it down. And then I have here just all of the connections for the neopixel is in the screw block terminal along with the speaker. Here you can see how the neck has the little servo there. That's how it's working. These two mate. Once it's snap fitted inside, it's able to move the neck there. All of the stuff just press fits together. There's no glue for any of the parts. The mounting plate is integrated into the back cover. So there's no screws for the feather. And I just have like these little clips with some chamfered edges that hold the PCB down. And then there's these little pegs that fit through the mounting holes. So you can just about get the clearance there for holding it in place. Again, you got a hole here for USB. So that works well. And side the head another snap fit. This is going to be a slide switch holder. Here you can see the speakers mounted to the top with speaker holes right there. And then the neopixel stick is mounted to a separate mount. And that just gets right up against the mouthpiece that gets printed separately. All the wires go down through the neck because it's hollow so that you can see the neopixel and the speaker wires are right here. You have some snap fit details like the bolt. And I need to reprint this neck bit that kind of holds the neck down in place. But yeah, that's how we got it going on. For the hands, I have these these magnet. Let me see if I can take one apart. I didn't want to glue them together, but they're two halves. And you can see them how the magnets work here. So you have these little channels for the hand claw. Yeah. So you have like this little joint that get fitted in there. So I can put this here. This one here. And I just kind of hold those two together there. And it has a nice tight fit so you can like kind of hold on and articulate it and hold it in place. And then you have this little nubbing here that sandwiches in between that hole there for the arm. So that's how the arms are working. The piece that broke is it's supposed to be a little screw thing. I've lost it now, but yeah, I'll have to reprint this. Yeah, I should just slow down the printer. But there's a little thread in here for the for the foot and then this just snap fits here this little piece. So you can print it all in different colors like I have here. These are the traditional adobot colors, this light blue dark blue and then like this kind of baby blue, I guess, adobot blue. And in here I have all the extra pieces actually inside the body until I'm like done. But yeah, we have a one legged adobot, a blue adobot, all the kind of the adobot, but that's like it's going to be next week's project. So I'm in the midst of assembling and getting all the parts ready to to upload and share. But yeah, that's the adobot. Again, it's going to have sound effects, rotating head, maybe some accelerometer detection, and of course the LED, the new fix LED in the mouth. So that's a good first look at adobot, one legged adobot, may it rest in pieces. Do you have any comments? Yes, I said, Vin says you need to print this guy some crutches. Yeah, I need to print adobot some sunglasses too. Oh yeah, summertime. Yeah, all sorts of accessories and stuff will be cool for adobot. Where is discord? There you go. Yeah. And yeah, we'll have a lot of fun. Hopefully, folks will build this maybe to be a fun educational project too. Nice little kit, build your own robot. Very simple you know, movement, but still a good lesson in getting gears to mesh together. Yeah, let's think it's a good upgrade to our first adobot we did like five years ago. We didn't do any of that. Yeah, yeah. Well, it's tough to figure out all the tolerances for the gears and stuff. Yeah, I think without any electronics too, like same thing. Yeah, that's what the whole point of the first one was actually like, yeah, it was a 3D printing board case here, you guys figured out. Yeah, because we didn't have stuff that small. I mean, it was no, we didn't have feathers yet that needed to be all soldered together. We literally didn't have the feather platform yet. Like that's how old it was, like feather wasn't a thing yet. We had like trinkets and trinket pro, I think was the closest thing we had to a feather. And even then you'd have to add an extra board for the lipo battery charger. And you had to add another board for the accelerometer. And yeah, it was a lot of boards that you had to solder together. So we've come a long way, and we didn't have circuit python yet. So everything had to be done through Arduino. Oh my god, yeah. Yeah, so it was tough to do audio with Arduino. I think it still is. So we've come a long way. So I think now is a good time to revisit the adobot. Even if it's just one-legged. Like this one has one leg and this one has no arms. Like it's great. It's crazy. Yeah. We got a comment here from tinkering tech. Love the gear and how well you did the tolerances for the gears to mesh correctly with the snap fit. Yeah, thank you. That was a nice good, good lesson in tolerances. I designed everything in fusion. So I was able to use motion linking, which is a feature that allows you to preview and simulate joints so I can make sure that the teeth are all meshing together and that there's enough clearance for the cables. Yeah, the fusion file will be all available to download as well. Folks can take a look at it when it's out, but hopefully next week. Yeah, I got to start printing mine. Yeah, a lot of parts. Because they can all be printed in different colors. No supports for anything, which is nice. Um, yeah. So that is the adobot. Any other parts like the speaker or the turbo? Yep, I just put it in there. Bye. Thank you for asking if we're going to use the slip ring. You pretty much built your own slip ring, huh? Yeah, since the head doesn't go around and around, I don't need a slip ring. Um, I would use a slip ring if I had the head spinning all the way around, but adobots using a normal servo that does 180 degrees. This is the all metal micro servo, and it only does 180 degrees. The servo you use, though, is a continuous servo. That one keeps spinning around. But yeah, the mounting is the slip ring. Different online. Yeah, I mean, it doesn't matter where the wire is. Yeah. But it just, the wire is just passed through the neck, so I don't have to worry about. Yeah, that's a really good idea. The head moves. It's not really causing, as you can see here, like the cables, they're just able to kind of pass through. It's a really good idea. The slip ring would be great for like an R2-D2, like that's where his head keeps spinning, and that would make a lot of sense there. Yeah, very limited movement on the head. So it's just barely like 45 degrees here and there. Yeah. Good question, though. Yeah, I thought about it. And then a nice reminder from Dewester who has managed to finally get his Pi 4 8 gigabyte. Oh, they're in stock? I just snagged one, too. Yeah. Oh, and Alvaro posted a link to the slip ring. Yeah, these are great. I've been meaning to use this for something. We have multiple ones. Yeah. We got them for, I forgot what we were going to do. I think the R2-D2 number. Oh, okay. That's, you'll finally use it. Yeah. Mike is also saying that he's using the slip ring for their light house. Yeah, the lighthouse spinning ring. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, slip rings. What I was playing with that had, like, it wasn't a slip ring, but like, you could detach it and put it back on and like, you could see where all the connections were. Yeah, the heck was it? I don't know. I have to print this again. How funny. I put the discount code in there if you guys want to use it. I just used it on, but I'm not just kidding. I don't need to use the coupon. But I did snag one of the Raspberry Pies as well. Good job. Yeah, they're in many of the shows. Yeah, they posted pictures. Eben from Raspberry Pies. Yeah, they're visiting. Or in the office. Yeah, I think that's what is going on. Part shortage is finally clearing up and more pies will be available soon. So, yeah. Yeah, thank you, Ty, folks. Hopefully we can lift the limit someday. Mm-hmm. Yeah, that's one of the questions that they were asking. Requests with limits and I think allow bundles. Yay. All right. I'm ready to share the next segment. Let's go ahead and look at Community Makes. Right before Community Makes, I want to remind everybody, for shop talk, I guess, our CAD parts repo. If you want 3D models of Adafruit boards and parts, check out our CAD parts repo. This week or last week, we did a lot of commits, a lot of new parts. I'll go through them now. The new Quad Rotary Stem Acuity Breakout Board has been added. Oh, that was one of the, I need that member to add that to the list, I think Lamar wanted to do for that. Yeah, so yeah, there'll be a project upcoming with that one. And we have the MOSFET driver, an RTC for the pie, for Stem Acuity, different versions of different chipset of the RTC. We have a 1.27 inch segment display, that's that big, chunky clock display that has the Stema. We have a backpack for it. We have a time of flight sensor, the BL5SL1X. We have another RTC. And then we have an updated LIS3DH, that's the breakout for the accelerometer with the Stem Acuity. So that got updated. And the Feather RP2040 DVI, the Feather Prop Maker as well. And Amplifier, I don't know if I've mentioned it, but there's just a bunch. I'm looking at the commits. So this is just kind of the past two weeks of CAD stuff. Be sure to add your parts requests. I'm getting through the backlog of them now, but that's the best way to kind of get it. And I keep forgetting, but I need to update the homepage here, because we do have a learn guide, how to generate your own CAD parts. So I need to add that here, because maybe folks aren't aware that we have a full learn guide on how to use free version of Eagle CAD to generate 3D models. So you can help out and add your own parts, if you'd like, which some folks have done. Shout out to those contributors here in the list that have added their parts. And that is the shop talk. CAD parts are up there, getting updated weekly. So add your parts requests or your part as a PR. Cool. Awesome. Next up, now we can do community makes this week. This week's community make is my settled planter bust David by Michelangelo. Yeah, pretty nicely detailed. Amazing. I think it's a 3D scan. Yeah, it's got to be because that is very accurate. That's a lot of polygons. Yeah. Did you do any supports? Like what happened? No, it prints upside down and it has reservoir for oh, it's full of water. Oh, wow. Oh, that's cool. The stand is the reservoir for water. Yeah, I'd show it, but it's weak. Is that resin, Pedro? No, this is just PLA. This is a beige color PLA from I think it's Hatchbox. Yeah, there you go. You can see the stridations are just a bit. Yeah. The stridations are there because this is 0.25 for the layer height. Oh, wow. Yeah. So it's a little chunky. Yeah, but from a distance it looks like resin. It looks like a plant now. Oh, it's just a synonym or those pink. Okay. Nothing fancy. These are like six bucks or something. Is it an aeroid? Yeah, this is an aeroid. They're like weeds. Okay. Nothing special, but they look very pretty. It matches the beige is what I was going for. I think it was the smallest plant that would fit in there. Yeah, here's you can print a bigger one, obviously, which is what I should have done, like as big as the bed plate can go, but the smallest or the standard size is big enough to fit something small. Yeah, you can see there a couple of the examples and how it was printed upside down. And you have the drainage holds in there. Oh, that's how you see the drainage, how that works. Excellent job of doing the up there. So by thing of your secret, by AMBA, AMBA, by AMBA. Yeah, they got a nice description here. No supports, no process. And just bring it with them that you like. It's got a couple makes as well. So folks have already printed it out. Oh, that's a good one. Look at the hair. Yeah. Oh, that marble filament, marble PLA is a good example. That's what I should have did. But I want to do the beige. Okay, some shiny stuff. Mm hmm. Big ones. Excellent. Like, oh, look at the cactus. There's no overhangs that are like, you know, yeah, walking down. That's excellent, man. This is really good. Yeah. This is obviously going, I mean, this is where this plant's going to live now. Yeah, a different version. What's that other the female one? Oh, I need to print the set now. Not sure, but it's not listed here. But in there's like, I guess they're blog here. So you can check out by AMBA's blog classical flower pods. Here it is. This is airing the goddess. Cool. But it's a free STL on Thingiverse, which is always a welcome. This is so cool. Yeah, very cool pic, Pedro. I did not see this. I mean, it just popped up. I'm sitting there like, oh, no, what am I going to print now? And then this comes up. Yeah, I tend to not look at Thingiverse as much. I know, right? Thanks from printables, but Thingiverse has an RSS feed. Yeah, they still don't have the RSS feed. And it's like, like instant, soon as something goes up, like, you know, you can refresh the, I use feedly, and there's always something new there. I can't do that with printables. Yeah, yeah, printables doesn't have it yet. I don't know. Even like posting blog posts from Thingiverse is way faster because I can quickly grab the JPEG on printables. It's like the .web files. I got to like go and inspect it. It's like, oh my God, seriously, guys, you make it hard to share your stuff. Yeah, well, you know, every site has their own quirks. Thingiverse is slow. Sometimes it doesn't load. They have ads. So yeah, you know, everybody's different. All right, well, continuing on. That was a great time lapse. Everybody go check it out. We have a video and a link in the description. But next up, we're going to look at community makes posts that were added. First up, we have another make. This is from Toaster Hunter. They had a really nice update here. They posted their make, but they have a tip. And the tip is that they used a failed piece of the Epcot ball. And they molded their own hot glue bit. So they were able to mold the because when you're doing, when you're hot gluing the pixels to the middle section, it's actually kind of hard. Yeah, that was the most difficult. So they were able to kind of mold it themselves. It's a good idea. Yeah. So they have a whole breakdown here of what they did. So shout out to Toaster Hunter on printables for posting their technique for getting the middle section. Because yeah, you can even see here on mine, the middle section is a little it's not as it just doesn't like because of the gravity and the way it oozes out kind of creates some bubble. It's kind of hard to do that in the midsection. So any tips there is welcome. Yeah. Yeah, I just kind of had to had to split it some way. And the best way to split it was right in the middle of those the midsection where those holes are. So lots of remixes. They're all welcome. So I'm glad folks are coming up with different techniques to make the build a little bit cleaner. All right, moving on. We have a make from Omar. Omar Mali posted up their make of the heat set insert rig. This is a piece of 2020 with some ball bearings to make this really nice rig for adding heat set inserts. And they posted up their make says one of my best makes a lot of fun printing even more fun assembling and using it. Yeah. We have another make. This is from a Niger posted this up. They are printing in this kind of nice and I like the pixels. These pixels are a little bit different. But the cables are cleaner, in my opinion, like to look way cleaner. And yeah, they were printed on their printer here. And it looks really good. Yeah, whatever lens or exposure setting they're using is right. It looks fantastic amount of starbursts on all the LEDs, right? Yeah, it looks fantastic. Yeah, right there. Yeah, some of the facets make it look like a thing. But that's great. Yeah, I'm glad people are using different pixels, different boards. Yeah. And that was posted up again from an engine. Next up, the last one this week is from EmRuse. And they have a little 3D printed stand for the Raspberry Pi zero. Very useful. Five five out of five. If you want one for your Raspberry Pi zero, you can print our little stand, no supports, just got some mounting holes and a little hole for some cables. So still getting makes on that one. And that is this week's community makes. Thank you everybody for posting your makes. I know it's, uh, there's effort to post makes. And I appreciate your efforts. Before we go, don't forget coupon code for our show is magic wand. It'll work for the next 24 hours. And then we'll have one later tonight on Ask an Engineer. Yay, show and tell as well. We welcome everybody to come on show and tell. There's a couple different versions of chemical. Can you hold the button down to make the whole sound effect? The battery is dying. Yeah, that's how you know when the battery is dying. That's the battery. You know, I can go once when you first turn it on. You could, you can add a semi QT battery monitor and it'll tell you that when the battery is low. Yeah, that would be a cool problem. Yeah. There you go. Hey, you got enough juice to like get a good demo. Actually like it. So the kids can sit there and keep making the sound. So it'll just go on for two seconds. Yeah. Yeah. That's cool. I actually kind of worked out. So we're not sitting here waiting the whole three seconds. Oh, you can kind of hear it here when you have it on the table, the base. Yeah. Yeah. That's the high quality. Pretty basic. All right. Well, that's going to do it for this show. We'll be on Chantel, I think, maybe? Yeah, I'll be on Chantel. So, okay, cool. Pedro will be on Chantel. I think I might be working on fixing my one-legged adobot. I can't believe I broke it through the show. But no, it's a good testament to be like, hey, that part is funky. You need to reprint it. I mean, it happens. Yeah. It's like under extruded. You can tell that crap on the inside infills. Like little wisps of filament. All right, everybody. Thanks so much for watching live and everybody on the archive. Shout out to the folks. We'll see you next week. If everything goes well, everybody stay safe out there. Enjoy your summer if you are in the hemisphere where the summer is happening. And that's it, man. Thanks so much for watching, folks. We'll see you on the next one. But until then, remember to make a great day. Bye, folks.
