 Hey, what's up folks? Welcome back to another 3D Hangouts. My name is Noah Ruiz I'm a designer here at Adafruit and joining me every week is my brother Pedro Good morning everyone. I'm Pedro as creative tech here at Adafruit and every week. We're here to hear We're here to share three printed projects featuring electronics from Adafruit That's right You know, I got this reactions thing. I'm gonna do the Adafruit Hello everybody, I forget what part I'm saying. This is the show we combine 3D printing fireworks and balloons To make inspirational projects With eyeballs Hello, everybody. Welcome to the show. This is episode 416 It is Wednesday, October 4th, 2023. We are hanging out in the discord chat room. Hello, everybody. Welcome to the show We have some some fun Halloween howl-holozy projects lined up for folks and We have some prototyping. We have a little bit of a shop talk Time-lapse Tuesday video and community makes all this and more on 3D Hangouts We'll take a moment to welcome everybody to the show live No, you want to say hello to people good morning everybody hanging out all over the YouTube's and the Instagram's and the periscopes And the linkedin's yeah linkedin periscope Facebook YouTube twitch discord If folks want to join us in the discord the link to that is discord.gg slash Adafruit Given shoutouts to do Wester, Rausen, Vince, Squid.Jpeg. Hello. Welcome to the show Let's jump into and Jason on the YouTube. Hello folks We're running a little late because like there's just so much going on right now, but We are we made it live Coffee's still hot and they brewed it two minutes like 30 seconds ago I'm ready for you just having fun with this Simona, huh? Do they have more I know but that's I want the dev kit so you can add your own It looks like it's just a powerful chain like how it fades in and out of the effect I like the the different layers that puts stuff behind you and in front of you Yeah, it's like blurring it to like the transparency of those balloons. Yeah. Oh, yeah in the portrait effect Then the studio you said you didn't like it. The studio looks kind of cool The kind of silhouette or and you can adjust it Vignette, oh, can I adjust the portrait? Yeah, whoa This segment brought to you by Simona Yeah, we know this one just was updated. Okay, let's go over what we're doing this week Yeah, first up. We'll do the freebies This week we have freebies Check out 80 fruit comm slash free for all the details I'll run through them right now for orders that are $99 or more You're gonna get a free PCB coaster with a golden 80 fruit logo. Those are lovely Aluminum PCB coasters with some really nice look screen of an 80 fruit logo if your order is $149 more you get the PCB coaster plus an 80 fruit kb2040. That's that lovely keyboard driver great for making keyboards and other projects if Your order is $199 or more you get the free kb2040 the free PCB coaster and free UPS ground shipping for constant until U.S. Only if your order is $299 or more you get the free ground shipping from UPS the kb2040 the PCB coaster and The all-new 80 fruit Metro M7 with partnership with digike Check out 80 fruit comm slash free for the details these get automatically added to your cart So that's really nice. No need for coupon codes But if you do want to use coupon code, you can use today's coupon code It's good for the next 24 hours and it's prototype Prototype and that's the coupon code awesome It's actually what we the largest portion of the show was showing off all the prototypes working on But I think to start off. We're gonna show off this week's Little bit of a project recap video right so There are a lot of Halloween projects and since we are still in progress of current projects Lamar suggested why don't we do a recap for 2023? And I'm on the eight of your learn systems just type in Halloween because we got a bunch of Halloween projects Particularly the ones that we have That I picked out this week We have the Halloween neon LED sign We have the Halloween M4 Tombstone we have the the blue fruit remote-controlled Canyon dispenser with a with a servo claw and What's the last one it's escaping me right now. I think it's the LED gem the emerald. Yes, that is correct Emerald so we have a YouTube video out that just kind of as them in a compilation and We thought that you know, they'd uh, they needed some They needed some what do you call it some some promo? Some recap promo. I think the LED flame is also there. I think that's a really cool one for folks that want to like Have a fan on a hot day, but still have like this cool light-up prop. So that's pretty cool Yeah, the one I have actually with me right now is the one of my favorites It's the tombstone Halloween M4 which will be in stock very soon Adafruit just got a big shipment of M4 chips that at CMD 51 That's the chip chipset that runs a lot of the I a project. So this is the Halloween M4 we have monster mask and and I think the M0 Halloween as well So this is a cool 3d printed tombstone. That's desktop size. It's a battery powered and it all snap fits It's got a couple of details on it to make it look pretty cool and it's got black LED acrylic with some neopixel lit Lights there to make this cool kind of spooky tombstone Rock yeah, the crumbled rock effect, which I guess vinyl, right? Yeah, this is all vinyl all that detail there This mask here is also Vinyl, which is a really good combination of like adding details to your to your props Nowadays we have the prop maker feather so you'd be able to kind of use that to make it more interactive So like if you had a time of flight sensor or proximity sensor You could like kind of wave your hand in front of it and it would like actually have sound So upgrading this with the feather RP 2040 prop maker will be a really good product idea. So maybe maybe next year. We'll have a nicer tombstone This year you did a tombstone already with the prop maker feather using the matrix So you big scaled but if you want to do a kind of a small one, maybe you can retrofit this one To do that. There's plenty of space on the inside here. Hey, it's very shiny And then there's like the USB port there for the Halloween M4 but see on the lookout for the return of the Halloween M4 All right, that is my pick of Halloween projects this year It's ripe for remixing Yeah, I can't wait to start on those eyeball projects again. This is why we've been holding off, but There will be more in store Yeah, there's a ton of Halloween projects the book Philby did an awesome job doing a bunch of different Not we is it Weegee? Yeah, Weegee. Yeah. Yeah, Weegee. Yes I think we can use the name or something. Yeah, Weegee board. We have that candy bowl We have like this googly eye. There's so many. Oh, that was cool. Yeah Yeah, when it came out, it was like, oh, yeah, we put it on a pumpkin. Mmm. Yeah There's so much stuff you can do with that Yeah, and that's just one example of many Halloween projects online at Adafruit.com So if you want to pick up The prop maker or any Neopixels or any other M4 dev boards that are in stock You get 10% off There are any other projects you wanted to highlight. Maybe the blue fruit claw Yeah, I think the blue fruit claw is pretty cool. You can open that one up This one could be attached to anything. So if you go to I think the assembly part of it the main claw part just attaches to the bottom of the Little ghost there so you can add this on to anything. Yeah, the drone I think I reuse some of the components when I did the drone claw So this makes it completely portable all you have to do is just screw it on to whatever other prop you want to use And it's all blue tooth controlled with your phone So you can add more functionality to it like lights or something like that or even Maybe hook up a sensor so it can be automated So if it sees something coming in front of you or if it like the techs heat or something it can do the You know dispense the candy that way so lots of ways to modify this claw On anything you want. Yes It's pretty simple. It's just the servo the BLE blue fruit CPX Yep, that's pretty much it just two components, I think yeah, and then the three from our part that like holds The combines the servo. Yeah board together I was surprised to see that the following the small flying ghost $20. It's still in stock They're still selling this thing. It's pretty cool. Yeah ratings like people still use Yeah, so it's basically a motor and a string and like has like a pulley system that drags the The ghost it's sound activated. So whenever it hears people knocking on the door saying trick-or-treat it'll It'll activate. Sorry. I'm trying to get rid of the discount. There it is So you can still pick this up. It's pretty affordable and it's a we we've you know We picked this up during the pandemic. So two three years ago now in 2020. I think Where it made sense to like have distancing, you know, but this is still kind of a cool prop to kind of reuse upgrade Yeah, I can dispense Kendi while you're like sitting on your couch Or you can you know use the servo to like open and close a door for candies to kind of fall out of something There you go. Yeah, so lots of cool uses for this Is this circuit Python it is circuit Python. Yeah, let's Clark put it together, of course And you can see here how it's working. It's using the the button It's up and down in the blue fruit connect app. That's free app for iOS or Android. So it's going to work with just about everything and it's a really cool kind of Simple project you can put together with not too much soldering. Mm-hmm Yeah, I think that upgrade for this would be maybe adding a speaker so you can like trigger sounds as well Have your own sounds being triggered. Yeah, I think Maybe a combo a combine The prop maker the new prop maker feather Somehow with with blue fruit. I don't know if you've done a project like that yet I don't know how you would do that I think we just used like the the nrf 52 Yeah, the other and then just kind of solder up to a proto board so that you can connect You know with JST cables a neopixel speaker. That's what we think we have pretty good audio support on the nrf 52 840 so if you want to do Bluetooth, that's the way to go. Oh, so that's a way we can update that next week next year Yeah, yeah, we got to start like you really need to start like in September 1st. Maybe then August Yeah Yeah, now it's like pick the kind of simple project So if you have you know, if you want something that lights up and matches your your cosplay We got this cool kind of light up Emerald mm-hmm And then again, this could be just you could just put insert this into a pumpkin as well have the yeah animations I'll be wireless or your candy bag Candy dish, whatever That'd be kind of cool. Yeah, I really like this one because it came in three different sizes and a lot of folks Stand up, which is kind of cool. Yeah, so I could just add that extra light to whatever kind of problem Sort of cool. All right But again, just type in Halloween and see what you get Lots of fun stuff the neon signs are always a cool one to kind of Adorn your your haunt with it's got a fun case on it and uh each each each sign has its own set of like animations that kind of match the sign itself Like the ghost has like this kind of cool trail the um The the the wolf howling at the moon has this cool kind of like Effect to it The moon rising Check this out. Um, if you want to make your own neon sign Um, I noticed like target always has the same kind of bat and pumpkin So these are kind of unique Uh, yeah Unique to me All right, any other ones that we want to talk about believe that was it, right? Yeah Yeah, I think so. Yeah, just four of them Props do obviously, but uh, I just wanted to pick five for this week Cool. Let me check in on discord and see if anyone's Yes question about the servos making noises. Are there any that have silent servos? I think those little ones from pinoco, right? Those are kind of exciting I think if you're gonna go with some silent, it might be a little bit more costly I haven't really played with any other servos other than like the really affordable ones That are your standard hobby servos. So I'm not sure, but definitely check out digikey. Maybe there's some that have rated for like Low noise. Mm-hmm. Yeah, I'm sure there are The claw, yep Oh, johnny's saying that they're celebrating cinnamon roll day here in sweden. I gotta get a cinnamon roll now hmm DJ Devin is asking if there's any plans to make the creepy dish with a bigger round eye display I would I have this we have the displays. We have the s2s. We just need code They're working on it. Yeah the libraries to like the firmware for it. Yeah, yeah, it's uh, it's coming together though Yep, we're ready We got the stuff. Yeah, we go to uh Tall talk to the hardware all nicely. Mm-hmm. Yeah, we're getting there Cool if we don't make it for halloween I guess we'll be making snow globes out of them, huh? Right, sort of Have you seen the one where it's the kitty cat on the um the litter box and that's the snow and the snow globe Oh my gosh I think that should be the the uh jiff that we put on there Yeah, that'd be fun Okay, um, let's see I think we're ready for prototype. Yeah Let's go ahead and jump into this week's prototype. You want to go first or you want me to go or I'll go first All right. Uh, I think I've shown you this A couple weeks ago. I finally have a hal 9 000 This is a fun prop from the infamous iconic movie from Stanley Kubrick 2001 a space odyssey. This is all 3d printed. We have a current project from Many years ago from phil b. He used laser cut parts. We won't he suggested that let's bring this to the uh the 22nd so 21st century with 3d printing instead of laser cutting So I went ahead and design a nice enclosure for this giant 100 millimeter diameter button So we press the button. I'm sorry, Dave. I don't have enough information We got a sample from 2001 a space odyssey of hal saying, you know, sorry, Dave Um in the back here, you can see it's just that button. These are really nice buttons They have a built-in led with a resistor. I'm using quick connects and then of course the prop maker rp 2040 feather So there you can see I have the wires all screwed in very little soldering Um, I just had to tend some wires really but this is nice because I can disconnect this Um, the speaker is uh the three watt eight ohm enclosed speaker So that's pretty loud. I'm sorry. I don't have enough information Because I have a kind of medium sized printer. I have it split into three And then I have my panel here split into two the last detail, of course, is the howl 9 000 kind of emblem that goes here And I may or may not do a back cover here Um, it is it is pretty big, you know, it's this big and I think um I was gonna say I think it takes a long time to print but Uh, I think it's worth it. It's a kind of big, you know thing we I made sure to scale it to the exact um Scaling of the actual prop Which um phil b kind of already did the hard work because He went in the rp Forms the prop rep forms and found folks that already painstakingly found like exactly how many holes and exactly dimensions of it So it's really nice that this button kind of already has that I might spray paint this to be chrome And yeah, it's it's a pretty cool prop We're gonna have it so that when you press the button it'll randomize the sample And I think to distribute this without any copyright infringement. We might just have you know mac os Uh text to speech do it or maybe tiktok or some other voice That that we won't want to do it. We'll just type it out and it'll kind of do it So right now I have it powered by usb here Um, I think it's safe to just have it powered by usb So there's no need for battery because you might want to mount this somewhere if you're a big fan of it Otherwise, it's it's a pretty simple project, you know, just showcasing the prop maker feather If I bring up the learn guide You'll see that man it is a lot of work back in the day to get an audio project I'm so go back to the learn guide and type in the howl 9 000 and if you haven't seen the movie I recently watched it a couple weeks ago And it's just so amazing how well it's filmed like stanley crubick did such an amazing job all the people that designed it It's Still like an incredible movie and it came out so long ago like 50 plus years ago That's how a lot of the movies are Star Wars, you know Nine inspiration from Yeah, so this is uh phil b's version. It looks really nice because it's you know spray painted and It's got acrylic that just has this really nice surface finish Wait, is the grill gold or is it gray? I'm seeing both in the movie. It's more gray But here i'm seeing it's a little bit of a gold. That's why I printed it in gold Which is fine I need to get some spray paint because you know the guy really covers like spray painting I was gonna 3d print this piece, but it has a lot of details That's like, you know, it's got the coil and the threading for the night So I really wanted to keep it simple and the whole point of this project is like to keep this like under a hundred dollars And here's the laser cut parts that I referenced Um, he really documents like the assembly of it like he's pretty good. Yeah But uh, yeah, he's got a label printer for it. I think I'm just gonna print it and do the hot Filament swap technique. Yeah, I was gonna say yeah, but you know building all the layers of the acrylic Um, can be a little oh my god, you know a bit of work. Yeah, I see, you know with the with the laser cutter These is a lot dude. Yeah But like, you know, they're still kind of expensive the 3d printers are cheaper these days in the laser cutter Um, and I haven't looked at the newest laser cutters from like glow porch because they're like Right now. I don't know what I think it's probably still a thousand plus dollars Mm-hmm Bet is I don't know how big it is and then your bulb breaks Burns out. Well, I mean, yeah So back then, you know back in 2000 what 10 or something. I think let me see let me just do a quick Uh 2013 actually is when it was first published 11 years ago Yeah Or 10 I think 10 because yeah So that's when it was published that when he started working on it. Oh, I see Right, so, you know, everything was Arduino. We have this wave shield Um, you had to like piece a lot of things together um Here's their Arduino code for it I think it's a lot more complicated Than uh, it would be in circuit python. Mm-hmm, but I think it was at dano or somebody re Redid it with um, oh This the the the cricket which is like kind of stock right now And it's kind of like a lot that is overkill because it is overkill because you know It's supposed to do robotics like motors and servos size of it. Oh, and you need a cpx on top. Yeah Well, that's again. This was even even this is out of tape, you know, like you could do it, but Uh, I think lemar wants to redesign this too much man with uh With an rp2040 because we didn't have the rp2040 when this came out And uh, it's still a lot, you know Here's the whole thing. I know This is what gives us the job security Everything that has to be remade Yeah, it's it's still a lot of work to remake everything nice and simple Yeah, and just making it 3d printable. I think is is going to go far. Yeah So, uh, that is so the project I got going on. Well, yes, Dave as a matter of fact, I can do that Yeah, I mean the kids of salivating over this big ass button Satisfying click Yeah, both been like peeking at it trying to you know, are you done with the photos yet? Because they know that we're gonna take photos and then you can have it But yeah, I think uh, I think I am gonna put a uh the lipo on here and then maybe Have like the um The screw thing for the back so you can hang it have it me for the kids's doors Cool, man. It looks so good. Even in the this light. Yeah, yeah Yep Yeah, everybody in the comments saying that yeah, they definitely gonna make one of these Oh, cool Squid says they're gonna make one all Andy Callaway says awesome doorbell. Yes. This would be a freaking sweet doorbell doorbell, yeah Maybe like use the mounting for your um your ring door cam and like have a little hole here. So it sits behind it Oh, yeah Yeah, yeah, I'm a fan of custom doorbells Back in the day that was one of our first three printer projects We took an arcade button and we wired it directly into our doorbell because it's just a button And uh, just be careful, you know because it's like, uh 24 volts or something Oh, yeah Most arcade buttons are rated for like 24 volts. This one's rated for like 24 volts plus Um, so it's pretty chunky pretty industrial And uh, yeah, they're fun. I love these buttons. They come in different colors, of course And I want you can you can throw in any pixel in there somehow But right now it No, there is I'm just saying you could make it you can get the white one and then You know make it whatever color with a little bit of hacking Um, but yeah, it's pretty fun. It's pretty cool. I'm a big fan of Such an iconic movie. Mm-hmm Uh, it's events is saying that yeah the glow forge and the omtech polar are still the best to beat for entry level cutters Yeah, I'm curious like at some point. I do want to get a laser cutter, but it'll happen these days Yeah, cool. Next thing we're prototyping Next up next up in the prototype. We are almost done with this faz wrench Put all the components together Do a little demo. This is just the default code that comes with the prop maker and um Little buttons press the leds are hooked up. These are like fake leds. Happy the way these came out It's just a new a cut neopixel strip on the back I'll open it up next week, but Show like all the insides, but I think I need to make like a cover. You can't really see it because all the lights here I need to make like a black backing. So the red doesn't bleed through Okay, but yeah Super happy with the dimensions feel super smooth prop maker rp20 40 like here and the on and off button all the components um Screw into the back. We have the countersunk screws to hold everything together Uh, super proud of the way we got the rotary on here. It's just the rotary on its side Uh, so it's like a knob, but on the side so it does the Squirrel wheel. Yeah, cool way to turn that into a scroll wheel because I don't think that they actually make something like that Do they or it's just a scroll wheel not a The There might be something on digit keys website, but uh, it's nice that we have that we stock those when I mean, right? Right. This is a stem aqt uh board. So it just plugs right in directly in without any soldering. It's really nice Um, yeah, I love to open it up to show you how modular all the components are. Yeah, it's really nice Everything has so happy with way everything plugs in even the screen Um, the screen also stemma. So it just yeah, let's try it in. We have soldering some headers, but that's it Okay, and um Yeah Just to give us some context. Um, this is a prop from five nights of freddy security breach ruin It's the latest dlc From the five nights of freddy franchise It's an indie horror game probably not indie anymore because it's like so widespread. They have a movie coming out Yeah, it has a movie coming out. So yay good timing that on the right for this one. So in the game Uh, this is a tool that's really inspired. I think by like the fluke Multimeters in the game you actually use this to unlock doors puzzles and um nodes in in the ar mode It's pretty cool Functionality wise. Yeah, you're supposed to plug it into uh the the unlock door and then you twist either up or down to Unlock and charge up these little these little wires to unlock the door So because it has a built-in accelerometer the prop maker feather It's actually going to change the sound effect depending on how it's oriented So we're going to use the accelerometer to change up the sound effects Um, the rotary wheel will be just be a volume control because you don't really use it in the game Like the rotary wheel. It's just kind of there. I mean I see that I see the the action with the thumb going like that As part of the animation when he's doing stuff, I see that happening But again in the game, you probably don't hear any difference to the thumb doing anything. Yeah And uh, it'll have a looping idle sound effect of like when you first pick up the the item in the game Um, I actually had to watch a walkthrough because I haven't played the game So I watched the walkthrough on youtube of like kind of the whole game um Pretty cool though. Um, it's really iconic kind of looking All the characters, yeah all the characters iconic the Story's kind of cool. Yeah, so it's a it's a cool prop. Um, it was really inspired by your son my nephew Gavin He's like, oh yeah, I haven't wondered how this is so bad. So You know shots of him for suggesting it So, uh, yeah, I think it's inspired by again like a multimeter That's what it looks like to me. Geez even the color and everything So that's the last step getting like the little lightning bolt detail going on there Like the overlay will happen so the handle has that black overlay The oh the antennas just came in so that plugs in here. No functionality, but Uh, this is a perfect case if you want to do some sort of hacking or something Like if we wanted to do that, uh, what is it the flipper that dolphin flipper? I'm hacking a portable thing. I don't know. Maybe this could be a case for that Like there's so much room in there. You have a 4400 milliamp hour battery. That's this entire side of it So you have lots of battery um To work with there and yeah, there's what it looks like, uh Of course gavin was saying hey, how come the scroll scroll wheel isn't as big as it is on the game with it being as thin It's like dude, you gotta think of physics like it would pop out the bot the back Yeah, so in the game, they probably have like a cube Transparency cube that like cuts it out so you can't visually see as it's rotating So it's not I would have to cut a thing out of the bottom and then like you'll see it on the other side It's like no, that's not how the real world how the real world works Yeah, I I guess it could be like half of a scroll wheel, but then you can't sit there and scroll, you know 360 But Um, yeah, we'll see. I think there might be a weighted Raise it up. I don't know to increase the I mean, yeah, I know how you cut a hole in the back Raise it up. No to raise up the oh no, so the um, it's the board. Oh because the board that's right It comes down to the breakout board. Yeah, it is up against it, huh? Oh, yeah, it is up against it That's yeah, hope as far as I can go without any more Things getting bumped into or it comes down to yeah, it is size limitations. Yeah Compromising I I know of a very complicated way It would be kind of like a um a gear mesh Where it's actuating a smaller gear, you know, to me. That's the only other way I thought about that Yeah, that's too much But even this was a little bit like oh because the way this is being held up I'll show it when we type take it apart There's like a there's like a little hook that holds the rotary down. So when you yeah Roll on it doesn't push it like down because of the the force that you're applying on Just rotating it as a knob like that. I'd like push it down on it So you have to have like a little catcher thing Grab the the knob or the stem Yeah, is that what it's called? Yeah the stem Yeah, the stem Yep Yeah, so it's cool that we you know, we're going to use the accelerometer to kind of make it Okay, because squid is asking about the display. Yep. We have it is the lcd character display I believe it is the two Character display we'll show it. I think you're looking for that guy right there Yep It's been used a couple times the new thing is the stem of backpack that we have back there Yeah, again, we'll show it next week, but I have the Short headers on there because I'm already planning for one of the kids to break the screen And what happens I can just pop off the backpack and put a new screen on there Very nice So designing every single design now is with it breaking in mind at some point one of the kids is going to break it So we need to be able to quickly print that part again or quickly swap out that piece that they broke How did you mount it? Yeah, I haven't made a model of it yet. So you would you Yeah, I had to go in there with the calipers and just measure Yeah Yeah, the eagle catter there. So I'll be able to make a model Oh, I think it's just the backpack though Right, it is just the backpack which is fine You can look at the what what I did that's that lines up. Okay. If you want to use it for reference Yep It's just sketches though. I didn't I didn't model anything That's fine Cool So that is It is a little funky the way that the standoffs are You know where it's like, oh you mirror something and it is not Like all right, it's not like symmetric I had to go into one corner and like adjust it a little bit Keep printing out little little test frames to make sure that it all fit But yeah when they're perfect. Um, what other question was that just laughing at the At the plant the way that we have to plan Modularity with the With the intention with knowing that it might break or that it will break at some point. Yeah Um Let's see. I'm trying to think like if I want to do um A shop talk. I guess I have a really quick one. I have a camera I have a coke one that involves your the way that you're assembling Yeah, I think it's a little bit more useful. You got a little Getting the screws into some of these Centers right here. So it was super hard to get the screws into this area right here. So we got this 45 degree a bit With this anti slip a little bit in here. So this is a ph1. This is perfect for the like m3 and down so all the way down like m2 screws when you have to um Mount like say the feather prop maker RP 2040 the uh, the little screw amounts right by the terminal Those require m2 screws and that will fit this guy in there. So we need to get in a funky angle this could there go Nice and straight or I don't break it You can do your Angle in there You can reach in those crazy areas and you can hold on to this guy And I'll rotate around it and you can kind of see how this is working. There's like a ball socket in there It's doing the rotating At that 45 degree What do I what do I call it in um right angle? I think it's a 45 degree Drill bit I'm gonna find it should be in our Amazon It's it's quite a it's it's quite a ways back So I have to like the way do you filter now. I don't like it. It doesn't do like your entire search history So it might be in 2022 So we got it like words like drill We're trying to do that way Yeah, I don't see it. I do see the no slip Um, I just got this. Yeah these dudes here. Those look good pH one. I also got like pH zero and Yeah, I'm out Because all the drill bits we have are all like those big ones the That where the head just keeps slipping and breaking everything I'd love to switch over to the um the hex nuts or the hex screws, but Like when I have to take apart kids toys or what we're doing work around the house like All those screws are all phillips, man. I can't I can't change all that Or is this the style of it? Yeah, that's the style. Okay. I don't know if it's the one we bought because it's not the one we bought But it's pretty close Is it really 45 degrees? 30 whatever I mean, it's enough to get in there Yeah, because I want a really slim one that I think that's the slimmest just because of the way that you have to get that Yeah, some of them are really bulky Yeah, the first one that I was showing off that I used to make the master sort that one was huge Yeah, it's huge, right? But that one's like a Freaking nine like 180 You can completely bend it Right like this thing the flexible bit. Yes, that that's so big. It's too big, huh? Yeah, it doesn't really bend like at a precise 45. I mean this worked. I mean, I'm calling it 45 But yeah, you can see that You want like a 90 degree one? Is this yeah, or is this too bulky? I don't know what it would people is anyone in the chat have a good that looks bulky, but Yeah, if you go back there was one down there for the suggested go back and scroll down Yeah, right there all the way to the right all over the right 11 bucks. Yeah Hey that one right angled bit Chunky, but it looks chunky, but it looks like it might fit in that area. Yeah, I mean luckily you're not going into Do some searching because I do need to get one because I had to manually Yeah, it is getting fingers in there saying go me the last time. I'm gonna do that Yeah All right, good tip. Okay real quick for mine. We got 20 minutes. So I'll quickly go through it I got my bracket for my tripod overhead rig. This is from sun cut send. They have a 90 degree bend here um, this is a Oh gosh, I forgot one eighth inch thick aluminum So it's metal. It has some incredible strength. It's not going to bend It can hold probably a 20 pound camera, but I have a little slot here For a tripod screw and then some m4 holes here to attach this To the aluminum extrusion so that I have this right angled camera that can go straight down This came out really nice. Um, I don't know if this is I ordered one and they gave me two I'll take one. Yeah, I know so I'll send you one, but uh, it came out really nice I'll send you these bits too because these are like in a 10 pack. Okay. Yeah Yeah, we'll do a trade. Uh, so this is really nice. Um, otherwise I got this one that's just way too big for what I need. That's like This weighs like a couple grams And this thing weighs like maybe a half a pound. It's like heavy even though it's aluminum There's just too much metal material here for what I need. I just needed this So if you want your own custom bracket that has a bend to it and that's made out of aluminum And you don't have access to a CNC mill or bending capabilities. Check out send cut send. I designed this in fusion 360 Um a couple weeks ago. I think I showed off the um the sheet metal design and then you unfold it exported dxf Bring it into send cuts as a website and then you can define how much of a bend where the bend is Um, what the holes are you can have these um threaded if you want you can have this anodized Powder coated lots of great features. And this only cost me. Oh boy. I think it was like 20 bucks Um, which works out for me because this thing here Guess what is 20 bucks? So you can customize your own thing and you get two of them Like if I I said I only wanted one, but they sent me two And uh, you have the option of all sorts of aluminum's composites um Not just aluminum. They do steel as well. So if you want something that's like, uh, you know, uh magnetic you can do that counter-sink Um threaded and like I said, it's really nice. So send cut send Um, if I ever need another metal part, I will be sending it to them And it's cool that you can have bends. This is the most simplest kind of thing you can do with a bend But there's all sorts of crazy geometries you can make with folding metal And sheet metal designs especially infusion like they have a really good tool for making sheet metal um designs So, yeah pretty cool And that is my shop talk send cut send custom tripod bracket awesome With regards to the 90 degree drill bit Andy Calaway saying they have one of those bits and yes, they are still bulky Oh, yeah Yep All right, I'll keep looking. Maybe there's this, you know, whatever you have though. Oh, I'll uh find I just don't have the time right now to uh, we're through it That's all in the 10 minutes. Just searching against them. Oh, I'm dude. I spent was a while All right, let's jump into the time lapse. Here is our time lapse video this week It is very appropriate for the halloween season. This is called bonnie basilic it's from uh Me mitic 3d the designer on cults 3d. It is a printed place articulating skeletal snake You printed it in glow-in-the-dark filament It is a free download That's awesome adorable amazing design for a free download. I think it's a rattlesnake because of this tail Yeah, that's great. You didn't scale it up or anything. It's a hundred percent. Yeah, that's a hundred percent And like I said, it is the glow fill from color fab No support materials I just used um a brim just because of the bottom there Okay, but it did stick pretty well and I love the detail on him um I think the only thing I was missing is like a little mouth I'll hinge on the mouth but other than that. It's super cute little pokemon-esque Skeleton snake Yeah, it's got a cute face you can drop it up in this kind of cool Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, so that looks really cool In the description it says that'll that'll lock in place, but my tolerance is it off or something That's what prints like as you saw in the print. Oh, I see the These little guys right here the um little chain ring thing. They're supposed to lock into this little Oh, I see a nub area right there. It's supposed to lock in there You go. I'm scared to break it I'm not gonna do that But it like you're saying that cool pose that they showed off in Yeah, that's super cool. Let's see it printed bigger. I don't want to see it bigger. Ah, yeah So, uh, again designed by uh me medics 3d or maybe it's mim Mime Anyway, meet me medics 3d Uh print a place no supports particularly need a fidget toy They have like a little story of the uh of the bonnie name, um Yeah, I'll Check out the comments in the discord and calaway. So it's supposed to be one of these guys Remember these kidding the walking lizards. That's yeah That's sick. Are they the hesus lizards? They walk on their hind legs And we had like the brown ones It didn't have the that parasol on the back of his um spine though I recall No, we're brown This might be the uh The bonnie's behemoth. It's prepared to perch on yourself. That's the highlight of your halloween assembly or stands Yeah That the halloween uh tombstone for your desktop decorations There's three different tolerances of it. So I guess you could try different ones. Yeah It's on things Tight tolerance loose tolerance Not sure which one you printed but I don't know. Whichever one was there Yeah, and you click download whichever one that gave you really? Okay All right, all right. Here's some support settings. Yeah, but check it out. It's uh Super awesome print. I'll put this link in discord if folks want it Not one issue with this one Yeah, I see you posted it on youtube and and uh Twitch very nice very nice Awesome So that is this week's timelapse Tuesday Let's stroll right into uh community makes this week We're gonna kick it off with another lightsaber This was posted up by monkey mk on printables They printed the new lightsaber rp2040 prop maker feather This looks modified. I see screws here Uh, there's no description on it But it definitely looks like they modified the design because I don't have screws Here I can see that there's some sort of screw situation going on here and here So that's pretty cool. Nice to see nice color After that we have something I found on instagram uh instagram user roger a not posted up the uh ghost neon signs And I think they're using different Strips It might be el wire. I'm not sure um So, uh But I'm pretty sure it's The ghost and maybe two different sizes So pretty cool. It just shows you that you can reuse Um, or you can you know use a different type of lighting You don't have to use a neopixel strip. You can use a el wire or whatever Maybe it's a noodle. I'm not sure what it is But I did see it and I was like, hey, that's uh the ghost that we made So shout out to roger for posting that up on their instagram And then uh after that we have another lightsaber This is from uh, nick oley They post it up there Hilt Looks like it's the standard hilt No modifications to it, but it looks good and black and it's kind of shiny I'm not sure if it's resin printed or what but it looks smooth. Maybe they spray painted it. Maybe they Did some sort of finishing post post processing technique on it. I'm not sure they printed it in resin Maybe We know it works in resin because I have mine printed in resin And I think after that the last one this week that we got is from uh, bow B lack art ick They posted and made a A rig for doing heat set inserts It looks like they modified it to fit their soldering iron and it looks pretty good So there you go. They have a whole little description here Saying works well super easy to print and assemble They modified the um the step file To hold to most people do you know remake the the clamp holder They're using a walmart 30 watt soldering iron I mean whatever works Yeah, they actually didn't like using it for soldering. So they're using it for heat press which works really good. It's a good way to kind of Use a crappy iron, you know as long as it heats up. It's going to make a good tool for a heat press inserts Yeah, so there you go. That is this week's community makes. Thanks everybody for posting your makes That's funny. That's really cool. I could see the cut out so bad on that one What depends on your camera confetti All right, so we got some projects that we got cookin um I think for next week. I'll probably have the hal night thousand we're not sure we're uh still kind of Toss these worth videos. Yeah, you know either that one or this one Yeah, one of these More another timelapse if we need more time Yeah, there'll definitely be more more timelapses All right, um, we got about 10 minutes left. I guess we can end the show a little bit early Yeah, don't forget if you want to pick up anything in the shop prototype is the coupon code Let me check real quick if there's any new products in stock The raspberry pi 5 was announced last week Or this week forget when There's a blur.

I'm like, I remember when a little rig for my phone So it has like the monitor facing me. So when you do like a selfie Yeah, it's a big change. I remember when the 30 pin connector for the iphone switched to lightning And we just had You know, every week you get a different cable to replace that accessory that use the 30 pin connector With this case, we have all usbc. They've been here this whole time. Yeah, so Yeah, so the transition is way easier now so many things for usbc Do you know every single one of our cables the you know in the pantry we have like all the charging cables all usbc This is my air pods They're still use they're they're not usbc.
