 What's up, folks? Welcome back to another 3D Hangouts. My name is Noah Aruez. I'm a designer here at Adafruit, and joining me every week is my brother Pedro. Good morning, everybody. I'm Pedro's creative tech care at Adafruit, and every week we're here to share 3D-printed projects featuring electronics from Adafruit. That's right, this is where we combine 3D printing and DIY electronics to make inspirational projects. Hello, everybody. Welcome to the show. Let's check out Discord. We're hanging out in the live Discord chat. We're gonna shout out to everybody in just a few minutes. Thank you, everybody, for joining us. And hello. Good morning, good evening, good afternoon. Everybody hanging out in the world. Shout outs to a couple of people hanging out in the chat room. Good morning to Wester, Andy Callaway, Stuart Riggs, BlitzCity. Blitz, BlitzCity. Hello. Good morning, chat room. Good morning, Larry. Good morning, everybody. Beedle, Betty in the YouTube chat. Also on Facebook, on Twitch. Good morning, everybody, hanging out. Yeah, we're gonna stick to the Discord chat room. So if you wanna see your comments in the show, you can hit us up on Discord, which is at Discord.gg slash Adafruit. Yeah. Come on, hang out. What is it? 30,000 of us all hanging out. Really? Yeah, we had a banner the other week. I was like, green. I don't remember the number. No, that's the Python newsletter. Whoops. Yeah, it's fine. We got a lot of banners to sort through. So let's go ahead and jump through the morning housekeeping stuff as we do. So we'll pay some bills. So bear with us while we get this situated. Adafruit.com slash free. There are deals going on while supplies last and supplies are flying off the shelves. Yeah, so for orders that are $99 or more, you'll get a free half size from a Proto breadboard.

Help Wanted heading on over to the jobs board. You can find out all the latest openings and positions from the community. If you remember last week, we had the pleasure of hanging out with the folks that are working on the Light Pong project. And they have some job openings and we told them, hey, you should post up your job postings on jobsideafruit.com. And they did. And boy, they have every position here. UX designer, front end developer, backend developer, middle developer, firmware developer, gameplay developer, QA developer and developer developer. She said mid end developer. I'm just joking. But yeah, check them out. If you are interested in joining a really cool set of folks and team, very fun project too. So check it out at jobs.adafruit.com. Help Wanted. Is my audio okay? Hi, hi, hi. All right, what else are we doing? The newsletter, shout out to everybody subscribing to the micropython, the Python on microcontrollers newsletter. We're at 9,000 folks that are subscribed. So if you wanna get your projects in front of 9,000 people, you can hit up Ann Varela or CP, right? At Adafruit.com. That's an email. You can email and submit your projects or products that have to do with micro, have to do with Python, sorry. The microcontroller thing is, you know, gets me confused. Okay. And then the other newsletter is the, the new newsletter happens once a week and it's focused on products. You can go to adafruit.com slash newsletter, subscribe to that one. Okay. Halloween is still upon us. We're in the midst of it. We're very, very close to it. Next week. Halloween Hackfest is still going on. You have about eight days left. Hit on over to the link. Hackadayio.com and then click on Contest. You can find the Halloween Hackfest still going on. And there's only 29 submissions and check it out. If you are inspired to do some cool Halloween projects, these are some fun projects that folks are working on and submitted for the contest, but it's also great. It's just kind of scroll through and see some, get inspired by some of the cool fun ones. I really like this animatronic Halloween candy dispenser. I was checking that one out. Very, very cool mechanism for kind of dispensing candy. Yeah. Very, very fun, but other cool ones too. So check them all out at the link hackaday.io and you can submit your projects still for more deeds. Check out the website. But yeah, that's the Halloween Hackfest. Need some music. Doo, doo, doo, doo, and then back over to the Discord. I think that's everything I've covered. Hello, everybody. Getting all the notes. Okay. We're seeing all of the notes over here. Making sure everything's going. Everything's going. All right. Let's go ahead and jump into this week's project. All right. This week we have two camera setups. We have the overhead and the underhead. Let's go on over there this week. PT had a really good idea of continuing on to the wireless LED project and installing them into some of these Lego bricks for a wrong camera over here for the Infinity Stone. So this is a project that JP documented and there are a couple of instructions on how to set up your induction coil onto some beautiful wood. PT wanted to take that step further and design some three-printed bricks that you could actually install into. So if you jump over to the overhead, this is what we got going on. We got a two by, what is this? Two by one? No, two by two? Maybe. Two by one. Yeah, neither way. I just pretend to know what I'm talking about with the Lego stuff. Lego compatible, folks. Not Lego. Which is funny, we have stocked some Lego compatible boards on the shop. Oh, we do? Yeah. So these are the little conductive ones. They come in two different sizes. In the kits, we have a small version and then a larger one. We are using the bigger ones here because they have a bigger range. Have some of the smaller ones on here. And when I got these in, I was like, super excited that I didn't think I would have to do any modeling for this. But of course, they do not fit in regular Legos. The bigger ones anyway. So I had to model some Lego bricks that would be compatible with these. So they fit inside here. And the really cool thing is that you can actually lock these in place. Like, lock these in place. Like that. You can get closer if you'd like. And they twist in like that. And just lock them in. So you can have a completely non-destructive edible little Lego bricks. Forget what year we worked on. This bigger, it's a six, two by six one. And we were embedding some sequins inside of here. A lot more smaller to have a one by two. Am I correct on this? This one by two? Anybody in the Lego fans in there? On the chat rooms? I believe that's what this is. So super easier to do. But of course, this works anywhere. This one only works when you're super close to one of these induction coils. If you jump over to the other, it's already gonna have to do a lot of camera switching for this one. You can see the range on this one is pretty. What is it, six inches or 150 millimeters away? Yeah, so some context. The actual coil is behind this piece of foam core. This is a piece of foam core, very inexpensive material that you can get from up the dollar store. It's just the black variant. So like the inside of the core is also black, but that's just a little details on the foam core. That's where it's hidden. It's behind here. We would show it to you, but I don't think we're set up for that. I'll turn it around a little bit. Okay. But yeah, just showing the distance on these and you can set these up with a brick that has either one or you can bring up the levels on there and have a brick that has two of them. Oh, I'm talking into the wrong mic. Go to the overhead and here is an example of the one with two. So we have two different types of bricks that you can install this into. And same sort of dealie. There you go. Same sort of dealie. These all snap in and you have this little wall separator that will keep them in place. Go much closer. Let's see if you can get. There you go. There you go. So that's a good look at sort of the geometry of the little 3D printed brick. Any special details that you need to print this thing? Maybe some supports or something? No, no supports. Yeah, there's no support. So this one's super easy. And these take about 10 minutes to print out. So super easy to set up for your Lego build. One of the things that I wanted to show this off with because of the way that these are, John Park was showing how to make these. But a lot of the examples that he showed were on the, like something that's close to your tabletop. This wouldn't actually work for something like a building because the distance for the little ones are so close. You have to be like right on top of it. So some context, there's two versions of the kit. There's a large coil and a small coil. The small coil operates off five volts. You're not going to get much brightness or much distance from that one. So that's why we kind of focused and featured the large coil kit. Is that good? Yeah, look how close you have to be with even the bigger one on this. So yeah, at first I was like, oh my God, this project is not going to work. So again, some context. This is the small coil. Can we move this and show the small coil? It's probably like a hundred millimeters or so in diameter, right? And then you got your big coil, which is double the size. It's probably 200 millimeters or so, but it's big enough to cover this entire foam core. Pedro wants to, do you want to show? Let me show the back of this. Okay, I'm just trying to say that there's two different coils. If you have small Lego builds, you're going to want the small coil. You got something bigger, like this infinity gauntlet. Look at that giant coil. It's much, much bigger. Here's my hand for scale. So you really need to think about what's the, hey, look, it's reflective. You really need to think about what size is going to work for your build, your projects. And there's some fun tricks you can do, like having two coils, which John showcases in his learn guide. But for us, we have just one coil, as you saw for this particular build. And then the kit comes with just the coil and the driver. And the barrel jack, the large one does, the smaller one. This one here does not come with a barrel jack. So Pedro has this little screw block terminal power jack. And this is your 2.1 millimeter barrel jack. Pretty standard stuff here. But you did not have to solder it because, hey, screw block terminals, those are nice. But yeah, that's the size of the small one. And as you see here, these smaller ones, they just kind of adorn them on your Lego build. But yeah, that's how bright they are. All right, let's go ahead and jump into the learn guide. I'm just piggybacking off John's guide. I added a 3D printed page on there where you can get all of the files and some of the examples on how we set this up. Yeah, so this is cool. John's got a little model car. So for model making, this works really well. The way he's turning it off and on is probably just by turning on and off the power supply. We'll talk about the power supply, I guess now, but here is JP's very creative kind of build instead of using something like foam core. He's got two pieces of kind of wood that are hollowed out. And that's where the coils are. There's two coils, I believe here. But yeah, he's able to put this scene together, which is a cool scene from the movie Pulp Fiction. But yeah, as you can see, the larger inductive coil comes with 10 LEDs, it wants 24 volts. The smaller one wants five volts. It's just a smaller coil, but it still has these 10. So again, the kits have different sizes of LEDs, correct? Yes. Yes, the bigger one has bigger LEDs. And the bigger ones are what Pager designed, right? So these little blocks that Pager designed, they're for the larger LEDs. Is that safe to say? Yeah. OK. So the smaller ones, you can just throw them in any brick? Will they fit in any brick? They'll rattle around. They'll rattle around. OK. And you'll need two by two to actually fit those in there. So you got to be a little bit creative on how the sets up. That's why we designed these little bricks. So they can be embedded inside of there and cut down on the size of your build. So if you can cut over to the camera back here, you can see that you only raise the size of the actual gem. Just a little bit for the brick. Just to hold that in there. So it'll definitely be a lot more useful if you have to have your brick fit a certain size. Right. So you can fit a brick over. A translucent brick fits over your 3D printed brick. That way it maintains that finish, right? Yeah. So translucent bricks are the way to go for these just to get the light to shine through. They've got a couple different colors on here, like the green, the yellow, the blue. Wow, these look really good. They're 3D printed. You can kind of tell they got layer lines and the shine of it. Here, let me focus again. Sorry, sorry. There we go. So there, you can see the layer lines. Just some regular print settings, 0.2 millimeters, layer height. And the tolerance rates should work across all of the printers. These are printed on the Creelty. I think if you printed these on the Ultimaker, they'd be a little bit questionable. Oh, the tolerances of them, yeah. So I still have some purple and some orange coming in the way. Because of course those are the two colors that we did not have in Translucent. But yeah, there you go. Good print qualities. Very nice. So like the color choices you got there. Very, I don't know, Google-y, Google colors. OK, back over to the Learn Guide, yeah. Things are not in stock, but the little one is in stock. You can get the power supply. There's two different power supplies. They're adjustable voltage, which is great. But you're going to want to look at the amperage. This one has two amps, and there's another one that has five amps. It's not listed here. Yeah, here, is it here? Yeah, there's two of them. There's one with more amps, five amps, and there's one with two amps. Which one are we using, the one with two amps or five amps? We don't know. For this one? Yeah, that's the two amp one. OK. And then for the bigger one, go with the five amp one. These are both in stock. These adjustable power supplies, which are great. And then here's the screw block terminal. You can pick that one up, too. And John also links to the wooden closure that he got from the Narcissus Crafty store. So yeah, those are all the parts. All right? OK. You want to walk through? Oh, you don't even need to do the whole thing. Yeah, this is very particular to John's build, how he put this together for a little model car. So you can check that one out. Yeah, I'm sure he's did a whole rundown on his show. So we'll skip that over to the fusers. Some good tips there. Tabletop, he did a tabletop build. It's got like a little razor crest from the Mandalorian. Nice Star Wars ship. I didn't bed them in here, so that's really cool. So not just LEGO stuff, right, folks? And then the display, how he's got his display set up here, all the various bits and bobs. And how you can fashion it. I like his little back plate here. Probably like paper or something. All right, and then there's this page, LEGO compatible stuff. There's a whole page here, so John fitted in. These are the smaller ones, right? Yep. So the smaller ones can just be fitted in there. And they rattle a little bit, but you should be fine with the orientation of them as long as they're OK. Well, let's say rattle, they can, the orientation flip. So just be aware of that. And here's the bricks. What's going on here? We're just talking about the various different ones. Yep, just the spiel that we already did on the different sizes of them, how they fit in, how they twist in, how you have the little separator to fit two of them. And then, of course, the links to edit the design if you have some tolerance differences, or if you want to combine these to make a different sized customizable brick, like say one that has three studs, three by one, or something like that. Something that fits your specific build. You'll have the fusion file there, so you can easily edit all that. The sketches and everything in the timeline is editable, so you can adjust that to your needs. You've got the STLs if you want to just download those and try these out. But as it is, it is the, thanks for correcting me, it is the one by two is the size of these. And these fit in pretty much any build, so you should be good to go from there. But if you do want to have it as a one by one, that shouldn't be able to fit on there as well. Just got to adjust the model for that. And there I have a little example of how all of the different stones look, so you can adjust your gems or whatever, infinity stones, those look like, infinity bricks. It's not, yeah, it doesn't have to be infinity stones. And just take in this green one. The green one is the really big one. Let me go switch to the camera here. So I'm just popping this out so you can see how you can stick two of them on there to increase the brightness of them. Yeah, for sure. And these are actually green LEDs, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, so it just matches up all the colors. Okay, cool. So that's a nice little way. Man, I keep talking to the mic thinking it's the, or the camera thinking it's the mic. All right. But yeah, that's a nice way to add a bunch of flair to your Lego build, especially with, like, I was gonna say it, Christmas is coming, you know. Christmas, Kwanzaa, Monica, all of them. So definitely a nice little way to dress up your desk for the holidays. Cool. Okay, if anybody have any questions, comments, go ahead and drop them in the Discord. Suggestions for other builds. Your skirt is sharing some cool rainbow cloud project. That looks really, really cool. Some 3D printed ports here. Grab my notes. All right, very cool. Let's go ahead and jump. A little temple on a couple years ago. Yeah, so the self, well, this is cool. So you have a little tack tile switch that actuates the circuit here, but it's just some coin cell batteries and a C-coin. So if you want to 3D print your own Lego break, there's a screw in there as well, but very, very clever, super embedded. You can kind of see the battery, the coin cell there. Yeah. It's one of those, just like this, I always get stuck with the miniature project. So it's a little challenging if you're not as dexterous, but. What is, what year is this from? I don't remember. This was a cool kit. They don't sell this kit anymore, but it's like a cool little science-y. Research Institute. Yeah. I have seen them. Research Institute, the female mini, mini-finger set. Yeah, it was a cool one. But yeah, you did some fun stuff here. They're really, really bright in this one. Yeah, we were comparing what the- There you go. You used some copper tape as well? That was very cool. Yeah, so we were comparing the brightness of what the official Lego light-up bricks have and what we were able to come up with. That's right. After that, there's a lot more brighter. There's official Lego light-up bricks. They come with this little robot. We got inspired by that one to kind of redo it. So if you got some options, just search for, oh, look at this. You made a custom wiring diagram that showcases the internals. Very cool, very clever. And if you can't get enough of the Lego stuff, just type in the search for all the Learn Guys Lego and you'll be inundated with it. If you're a Lego cop, leave us alone. Check out this Lego head. There's so many we worked on. You're so mad at us. Try to sue us. I like the tape one is pretty cool too. Oh yeah, you did the keep pie Lego thing. Oh yeah, the clingy things. Why is that there? I don't know. Did you label this as a matter? I didn't label Lego in there. It's just yellow. Somehow this shows up as Lego because it's yellow. Anyway, we've done too many Lego projects. By far my favorite one is of course the Lego Adobot. So perfect for any of your builds. Yes, that should be in the print a little police hat. And of course he completely comes apart. So it is all model after the little mini figs. Oh my goodness. So cool. All right, that enough Lego? Too much Lego. We're pretty good sold. Good if we lost everybody. Go to the new page to show that you can't, we carry your stuff Lego. You can't get mad. Yeah, we're advertising for you Lego. All right, let's go ahead and jump into this week's. Where do we prototyping? Okay, so that was this week's project. Check it out if you like Lego. Cool, if you don't, that's fine too. You can put them in other things like model kits. All right, what are we prototyping this week? This week I've been working on the Learn Guide for that Star Trek prop. So let's go ahead and take a look at the overhead. Oh, this is a weird one. All right, so you saw the Ray Gun Blaster. It's a twofer. So this project is a bit of a twofer like I just said. Oh boy. So yeah, we have this version of it. Very cool handle and all the electronics are fitted inside the Ray Gun. We have the Feather M4 with a little amplifier, mini speaker and an LED. Got a slide switch to turn off and on. My battery's dead so I can't actually demo it. But hey, magnets are really fun. So this is version, this is one iteration of it in the Star Trek episode. It's a ship-shifting prop. So this is the second version of it. It changes into like five different versions of the prop. This is the most obscure version of the prop. It kind of looks like a watermelon and there's these keys, these nine keys are on top of it and there's the little LED there. Same handle, just a different kind of top. I got my little slide switch here. It's a little slide switch holder bit, speakers right there. I got my speaker holes, same button, really, really the same handle, same sound effect. So Phil B will be writing up some custom code for this so that when you change, when you adjust the slider, it'll change up the sound effects and these will trigger probably some other sound effects as well. Also using magnets so this could pop open. Magnets are a really great way to keep something secured but still allow it to be opened. So you can see here I got a really long ribbon cable. I really like using this silicone covered ribbon cable. It just keeps this all organized so I didn't have to use a bunch of heat shrink tubing. I could just keep the ribbon cable. There's 10 wires here which is exactly what I need. One ground and nine signals and that's really cool and if you're ever making a prop, I definitely recommend picking up these Molex and JST connectors using them intermittently or interchangeably, I don't know. Use them, they're really great because now I can still take apart all this stuff and it's nice so they don't have to install it and then solder it to in place. I can just disconnect everything and completely dismantle it which makes guiding, documenting a lot easier. So yeah, pretty cool and the magnets or I get them from KJ magnets. They're a great reseller distributor of these rare earth magnets. But yeah, there's plenty of room in there for other stuff but this is what we got for now, the feather and the amplifier. Don't need a prop maker feathering because we don't really need the accelerometer or anything. Yeah. Keys, these are the Kale box white variants of the key switches or the real key switches and these are those DSA style profile key caps. But yeah, this will hopefully be ready for next week just in time for Halloween, right? But yeah, this is that new filament that we've been playing with. It's silky and metallic and very, very shiny. But yeah, slide switch holders, very nice. So yeah, that is what we're prototyping. More obscure props and this is pretty much the same as last week, just different filament. It's very, very shiny and reflective. Yeah, but very pretty decent print quality. Again, printed on the Creelties and there you go. So that is what we're working on. Learn guide next week. Hopefully maybe a video too. You might be able to do all of that next week. Very shiny. Very cool. So that's what we're prototyping this week. Any comments? Can anybody guess what episode of Star Trek, the anime series that's from? People do know. Yes. Riley on Twitch was asking the best way to diffuse LEDs for a project they're working on, a staff with runes that light up and they want to figure out the best way to diffuse LEDs so they don't have any bright spots and comment it with either having a higher density LED strip or moving the LEDs further away from the walls. The more distance you have from your light source, the more illuminated and evenly diffused your thing is gonna be. And if you jump over to the overhead, I can quickly show the example of that between having something that is translucent and something that is what this is called natural white. So you can kind of see with the few, it's kind of bright in here. It is bright in here so it's gonna affect you. Yeah, like more softer diffusion on this one and this one's a little bit more sharper. There you go, I got something. There you go. And in the way that I have. There's your hotspot, right? Yeah, hotspot's right there, but on the top it's a little bit more diffused because it is further away. You can spray paint or sand as well. You can sand down the surface of whatever object you have and that can help soften up the diffusion. Yeah, it's a good tip too. Yeah, but yeah, it can be very difficult to get a nice even diffused if you don't have space. The more space, the better. It's really difficult when you have something that's really tight close quarters. Yeah, you can just see the difference on there because it's closer to this wall, but if it's further away like it is on this one, you can see the diffusion on this one. Yeah, look at that. Let's see the hotspot on that one too. Yes, let's parent and then translucent. So yeah, the filament will also play up. The battery's probably low on this one. Yeah, the coin cell. Material will also play a huge role in the diffusion as well. Righto. Cool, good question. I like that. All right, I think we are jumping into Shop Talk. All right, Shop Talk this week, featuring some brand new code from Phil B. So these are the LED glasses, the new LED glasses from Adafruit. 117 LEDs here. So let's go ahead and power them up. I'm using the BLE board, which is a Bluetooth circuit python or Arduino board. And let's plug it in and take a look at the code. So the latest code, if you want to paste in the link to the code, it's up now and available on GitHub. So if you got your pair of specs, you cannot play around with this code. So this code takes a bitmap, a sprite sheet bitmap and animates them. Very, very cool. So the rings are a separate bitmap and the grid is a separate bitmap. They get animated through Phil B's code. And we have documentation how to create these animated sprite sheets. It's just a single bitmap. And the height of the bitmap is what the frames are and the code just kind of steps through them to create an animation. So that's how you can, a new way of creating animations, a new way for the glasses anyway. So that's really cool. So that's what you're seeing here is these two bitmaps. And I will show you the learn guide. It's documented and there's some nice visuals to showcase how this exactly works. So let me go over yonder. Maybe this one because I can showcase both of them. So yeah, the Adafruit iLights LED Glasses and Driver Learn Guide was updated. So click on that and I'll show you the page. It's probably under the circuit Python starter projects. And then it's called bit BMP stands for bitmap. So here you go and there's Phil B's. Let me switch to the full view. So yeah, these are the bitmaps and this shows you how the bitmap stores the frames vertically, kind of like a vertical film strip, if you will. And you can see that this is frame zero, one, two, et cetera. And they're very, very small bitmaps. It's 18 by five pixels for the grid and for the rings, it's 48 by 48, I believe. So you can see here how the ring layout is and the numbering here. So this is the bitmap for the rings. So you have two different bitmaps, one for the rings and one for the grid. And then this shows you where in time it's advancing. So it's a little bit different. Yeah, and here's some more explanation and it's all commented and stuff so you can play around with it. But yeah, the code is available now on GitHub and you can download the bitmaps that are supplied here by Phil B. Or you can create your own. There's some documentation up here. Yeah, this guide on sprite sheet animations. This one talks about more sprite sheet animations, kind of the essentials of it and stuff. I actually use this third party software called Asprite, which allows you to generate a film strip style thing here, so here's one of the bitmaps that JP put together showing a walking cycle. And this was for the LED matrix portal project. So it's nice to see that the circuit Python code is adaptable for different chips and different styles of LEDs. So that's cool. It's the power of circuit Python, right? But check those out and back over to the overhead. You can see the glasses are still running in that bitmap. And if you wanna see me wear them, well, here we go. They fit over my glasses just fine. And I think I broke them. Let me unplug it and plug it back in. I might be shorting it out. I was gonna say, I mean, your glasses. Because it looks like it is, yeah, right? My glasses are metal frames, they're conductive. So I feel a little bit of a buzz in my head. I wonder what that is. From a distance, they look really cool. You can really see the wave. I put this animation together in After Effects. Yeah, yeah. You could use whatever animation software, I suppose. Peter's taking a picture of our Pooch, who's in the closet right now. I wish I could show you guys. I could show them. Going the overhead. This is our Poochy Rufio. He decided to make a bed where all of our fabrics are stored. They're just brandy's fabrics. He just fashioned himself a bed. Oh, there it is. There it is. Comment from Susan on the Discord is saying, happy to see many guides with glasses. Some of the cool ideas, yeah. Yeah, there's lots of demo code to play with. Accelerometer based ones, audio based ones. Check it out. Yeah, there's lots of fun, funness going on with these LED glasses. Yeah, it'll definitely last beyond the holidays and to all year round. All year round, yeah. All festivists. I'm very thinking, oh, for Valentine's Day, it'd be like a heart, two hearts beating. Scrolling. Seeing how heavy. All right, now it is time for open. Everybody's liking the BMP code? Yeah, it's excellent. It's really, really well, what would you say? You can do a bunch of different things with this method of animating. All of these animations are bitmap, spreadsheets, the party parrot. Imagine seeing the little party parrot in these two eyes. That would be cool. Wild style. The two of them? Yes. There's also a Blinky Eye code. I don't think I showed that off, huh? No, you did not. There's Phil B made his own version of the Blinky Eyes. Thankfully, he has a learn guide. He talks about it. Give me a second here. I was gonna say, please post that direct link to that one, it's so cool. Yeah, there's Phil, oh, his gifts are great. So yeah, Blinks, it looks around randomly. You can change the brightness of the colors, of course. That's available right now on the Github's. Check it out. Add the links like a post that direct one. And this is the guide by Catnip. Catnip and Phil B, they collabed. Yes. She reminds me of like the stream from Ghostbusters. Ah, it does. It's pretty cool. I think the colors are flipping out the camera. It keeps changing the color temperatures. Sweet. Yeah. And then comment on Twitch by Ryde, Ryde? So yeah, they're gonna do the Rune print in clear resin and sand it and see how far they can go with the LEDs being close to the inner wall. These have a strange side effect than making you goofy. Gotta work on my party parrot head thing. I don't break your neck on that one. Yeah, I know. Really ringing, where's it? Yeah, I definitely recommend putting a rubber band on the back there. It keeps it on your head. Oh, I was gonna show the frame of what that looks like with the LED glasses kit that was put into the store, but I think one of the kids took it somewhere. Yeah, I saw Gavin, he took it. Yeah, sorry, Gavin. All right, well that is Shop Talk. No, no, no, we have one more Shop Talk thing. Every year I try to design something new and this year I didn't have time, so I made a very, very simple decor for our mailbox. This is a Ninja Flex Bat Beanie is what I'm calling it. It's a little cap that's printed Ninja Flex and it just press fits over this little dome bit of our mailbox and then I have these little bat wings. So let me show you on the overhead what it looks like. Give me a second to reconfigure my aperture. My aperture. Oh man, a lot of focus. Yeah, so this is a Ninja Flex 3D print. This is the inside of it. You can see that that's what Ninja Flex looks like when you have some crazy overhangs, but how do you print a shape like this and avoid support materials? You print it in two pieces. So I have these little slots and one of the coolest things about the Ninja Flex and flexible filaments is that you can design these shapes that can be press fitted into other shapes. Like if you were to print this in Ninja Flex, it's just impossible to do because you don't have that ability to kind of press things in and squish them and that sort of thing. So that little geometry here is just bigger than the slot and that allows it to kind of squish in there. And yeah, it's a great method of getting a multi-part thing assembled without any glue, screws, it just press fits and it just kind of hangs out in there and the tautnesses don't really matter too much because it's floppy and it's supposed to be floppy anyway. So that's really cool. And then because of the shape, it kind of creates a suction to the top of the dome. And I didn't even clean this up because it's a little stringy still. But yeah, this is the harder, what is it? 90A, 85A Ninja Flex Cheetah. Oh, it's cheap. So it's not as elastic, but it still has that property where you can kind of squeeze things into other spaces. And you can see here, I have some under extrusion. It kind of broke here, but it doesn't really matter because you're not seeing it. There's a reason behind it. You use regular PLA settings on that and it still worked. No, not PLA settings. I just used a different printer profile. I have a Creelty version two and a Creelty version three. And one is a direct drive. The other one is a Bowden. It's still printed out pretty good even though I selected the wrong. So you printed on the three with the twos profile. Okay, so the retraction was too high for it. And you can see here, I even forgot to remove the skirt from the previous prints. But hey, one of the tips that I found thanks to Pedro is that you can print Ninja Flex on a PEI textured build. It won't fuse so as long as you rip it off the bed while it's still warm, is that safe? Yeah, we'll just heat it back up to 15. Yeah, you can see that texture here. It's that powder coated PEI sheet. It really adds a nice texture to it. And there's the front. It looks really cool too. It's about a millimeter and a half thick with this extra extrusion here. This is probably three millimeters thick. So prints in about half an hour. Really cool if you wanted to put it on your head. You can make a little bat cap, you know, beanie. I gave this to Declan, Pedro's child, little baby. He's like two years old and he was putting it on his head. It looks super cute. So if you made a bigger one, I suppose you could do that. I also put it on Rufio. I didn't get a chance to snap a picture because he hates fixtures. So I don't know, maybe that's torturous to do. Don't do that to your animals. But yeah, that's all I got for this Halloween. It's not really quick, it's simple. Ninja Flex, great way to print flexible stuff with no supports. You can rip off both wings. Oh, the carnage. I don't know what else to look up. When is Halloween? Oh, it's next Sunday? Yeah, maybe I can make a bow tie. This reminds me of a project I saw from Amy W. She had these little bat wings for her shoes. That was really cool. So you know, you can do a lot of fun stuff with Ninja Flex. You don't have to have the super complicated design. So hopefully this inspired, come on, damn camera. So I hope this inspires y'all to think about some simple decor stuff and utilizing some of the features of Ninja Flex. Yeah. And then here's the, you know, the only picture I took of the mailbox. It's a nice little subtle decoration for your mailbox. Yeah, I really like the two-piece setup where you can, you know, do this sort of design without making it one piece, just split it into two pieces or design them separately. So that's the shop talk. Cool, all right, cool. Let's go ahead and jump into this week's community makes. All right, time lapse Tuesdays. Every Tuesday we find some designs from the community and we 3D print it this week. Got some denture bit holders. This was another recommendation from PT. Yeah, this was being posted on Twitter and it was getting like hitting the rounds. So it's two pieces that you can use some, what are they called, M4 or five screws to hold this together and you have a hinged mouth. Yeah, you're supposed to put magnets inside. We didn't want to waste all of our magnets. So we just didn't put any magnets. They have a bit of a, you know, tarnishes get loose and tight in certain areas, but that's what the magnets are for. It's supposed to be embedded. We don't have to do that. You can just press fit them in and make do, but hey, let's take a look at the video. What can you say about the print? Yeah, so you can kind of see, you know, sports you can kind of see in the video where the magnets are supposed to be embedded. So there's supposed to be a like a Z stop or a layer height where you stop at to pause the printer, embed those in there. Definitely recommend doing that because it's a really cool way to have all your bits in one spot like that. And you just can't beat the theming of these special for Halloween. It was a really good way to store all of your bits. I lost count of how many, but we were able to store like one of the kids that they all come with. Correct. Funny story on that. One of the dentists that follows us on Twitter was saying that he approves of this design. Okay, for like educational purposes, maybe? Yeah, I'm hoping it's not like that. He requires all these bits for use while he's practicing. But yeah, we're just using the translucent PLA on this. And yeah. Okay, let me pull this. Nice themed way to store all your bits. Design on Thingiverse by IPO, something. Through my online store lounge. Sorry folks. Did that not work? What wrong link? Oh boy. Here we go. These glasses make it. No, I'm just kidding. I was gonna say the glasses. No, I can see fine. I can see clearly. So here we go by IP Lop. Yep, Thingiverse user IP Lop. Denture bit holder with magnets. Very, very cool. Yeah, there you go. There's a look at the, oh my God, is that like a little Adafruit sensor on their nozzle? Wow. We had no idea. Yeah, we had no idea that this was here. What is it? I think it's a proximity sensor. Oh, right. That's like a probe. Why don't you get the sensor? Maybe, I don't know. More pictures than that. Yeah, I like the way the magnets are the north and south poles are labeled there. Very cool. Chiroid infill, it's definitely the right infill for this sort of thing. That's where you want to pause it here at this layer height. Oh, there you go. Yeah, and there's a video too. Sweet. So, very cool. So cool. Great design by IPLOP. Yeah, I saw this posted a couple of weeks ago, but as it's starting, sorry. As it's the trending. You can purchase on Etsy too if you want to help the modeler out. And there's some tips here on working with the magnets. Yeah, that's good stuff. Yeah, that's a really good way to label your north and south poles. North and south. All right, so that is a, this week's community makes. Shadow very appropriately themed. Perfect, yes. Yeah, it's careful to fall out. Oh no, my teeth are falling out. My bits are falling out. It's my worth dream. What do you folks think? Any fun comments? No? It says the diameter of the magnets in the post, I believe. Yep. Folks, you're very quiet. Good. It's a Wednesday. Yeah. All right, that's, I think that's it. Is that really it? Yeah, I got a couple other stuff I can't show you yet because it's not nowhere near done. But continuing on later today. Yeah, we invite you to come on the show and tell later tonight, hosted by Mr. and Mrs. Lady Aida. Very cool. That's Wednesdays every 7.30 PM Eastern time on the Wednesday. And then shortly after at 8 PM is Ask an Engineer, Full Hour of Lamar and Phil, open source hardware, Python on news letter. And all of the awesome projects and products coming out later. Yeah. Cool. Don't forget, the Halloween Hackfest is still going on. If you wanna enter in your project, get some Adafruit credits. And it doubles if you use Adafruit products inside the project. So it's definitely worth it for that. And then tomorrow, don't forget. JP's workshop. Yes. Wait, JP, where are you? There you are. He's throughout the week. But yeah, on Thursdays and Tuesdays, JP. But Thursdays, 4 PM Eastern time. And then Friday, Deep Dives with Scott at 2 PM Pacific time, or 5 PM Eastern. And then Sundays, Lady Aida did a stream like at 6 PM, the earliest I've ever seen. It's very cool. On Sundays mostly, mostly. And that's a reference for me. Rounding out at certain of the week. Start off on Tuesday. Wait, sorry. I'm all over the place. I'm so sorry. These classes, they make me goofy. So, everybody at 2 PM Eastern time. Circuit by the meeting. Great way to catch the Circuit by the Debs and the community. Find out what they're working on. Tuesdays, JP, product pick of the week. Wednesdays, me and Pedro. But also, show and tell, and Ask Engineer. And we've lived around. Pidge's reading. It's cat me in the, she was confused on why it was called denture bits, but she gets the reference now. Oh, right, yeah. And a funny pun from Andy. It's a fillin' project. Fillings. Yeah, I definitely recommend everybody print these out. Yours is so cool. Yeah, how's our infinity gauntlet? Oh, that's good. It's missing the green stone. Oh, I took it off the show. It's missing the, there it is. What is it? The line stone, the time stone? Spacetime stone. Oh, man, we didn't talk about the actual build of it. Such a good, like, office, like, building. I ordered two, so I'm gonna send one into the office, because I don't need two. PT doesn't. But it's definitely a really good thing, because, you know, all the employees can get. We already know what. Yeah, they're gonna make the- Hand gesture. This one. This one. This hand gesture, of course. That, among others. The pinky? The pinky? And that's gonna do it for this week on three Hangouts. Thank you all for joining. I'm so sorry. All right. How do we end the show? That's it. Everybody have a good luck with your makeup endeavors, but until then, make a great day. Bye. See you next week. See you, folks. Good luck. Have fun.
