 Hey, what's up folks. Welcome back to another 3D Hangouts. My name is Noe. I am a designer here at Adafruit. Joining me every week is my brother Pedro. Hello. Good morning everybody. I'm Pedro. I was creative tech here at Adafruit. And every week we're here to share 3D printing projects featuring electronics from Adafruit. Yeah, that's right. This is a show we combine 3D printing and DIY electronics to make inspirational projects. Hello everybody. Welcome to the show. We're hanging out in the Discord chat room. If you'd like to join us throughout the show with questions, banter, comments, and gifs, gifs, memes, all that and more on the Adafruit Discord at adafruit.it slash discord. We will receive gifs. Yeah, people receive gifs. Yeah, so this is we're at episode 438. It is April 17th, 2024. And we're hanging out in the Discord chat room. Give a couple of shoutouts to the lovely folks watching us live. Good morning. Shoutouts to DeWester a cup of coffee. So hanging out in the YouTube chat, which I did not restore the chat. Good morning. But we can bring in comments. Yeah, we can bring in comments from Facebook, YouTube, Twitch, I believe X, and maybe LinkedIn. So streaming on all the usual networks. All right.

So there we go. All right. Cool. All right. I think we're all cut up. Kind of ran through that pretty quick, but we have last week's kind of prototype project is now released. Pedro has it. Do you want that screen or just the screen? I'm not seeing any of my screens or am I? Okay. All right. I'll screen you. And you got there the HDMI display with some custom graphics displaying some Adafruit IO feeds. Yeah. So this is our DVI out project that is showing all the IO feeds. This hooks up to any HDMI or DVI compatible display. On the back, we have the DVI cowbell and a Pico W. So it's connecting to the internet. It's grabbing multiple feeds and not just the feeds, but the like the sensors that are attached to them. So we got the pool monitor, which is DS18B. And then we have the air quality sensor just up here. And that's also doing the humidity. And the pool monitor one is also monitoring its own battery since it is out there by the pool, monitoring the water. It looks like we're at 75 degrees. Looks like it's going to be 90 degree day today. So hopefully it warms up. Yeah. It's still cold for a pool. Try not to use the heater because the clouds have been covering all of the solar panels. So not getting as much juice as we want to heat the pool. But this is so cool because you're able to mount this to one of our seven inch IPS displays that have the DVI and a bunch of other legacy connections like composite and VGA. This is the only monitor that has the USB power going out there. So you can also power the Pico W as well. So everything's being powered by just this one cable that is connected to one of our little portable batteries. A lot of the TVs have a USB plug, which you can plug this into. So everything is just going to be powered by that one port on your actual TV, which is just one of these TVs here that you're seeing. They can plug right into that guy and into the input and switch it over to this feed here. So this is a Arduino project that is bringing in some whippersnapper sensors and feed. So you're able to mix all of that together. Code is all available. So you can update that to whatever sensors you have already running. You can just pipe that into this and change around your graphics if you have different sensors for it. That's that. But this is a very nice one that's ready to go. We thought it would be a really good one to display these typical basic measurements for outdoors. Yeah. I'm just going to talk about it. Yeah. No, I think you covered it. Shana told us for putting together the code for us. We could barely do circuit Python code, but the Arduino code is a good example of using the Pico DVI library for Arduino to do the custom graphics. So she's got custom fonts, custom bitmaps. You know, Arduino is a little interesting where if you're doing graphics bitmaps, you can't just like add them like you do in circuit Python. You have to convert them to a header file. So all that's been added in the learn guide. So folks can reuse those or create their own. And we have documentation on how to kind of create your own as well. But it's a good example of how custom you can make your feeds. So they're all colorful, nice bitmaps. Again, custom font. And then I like how the AQI, the air quality sensor has these three little green, yellow, and red squares. And they kind of indicate like, this is a quick visual way to see, all right, my air quality is good today. Or if you are in like a workspace where maybe you have a lot of what working happening, you can quickly tell if the air has been filtered correctly or not, I guess. And in the code, you know, it has it so that if the AQI reading goes up but certain threshold, it'll make it yellow or make it red to kind of indicate that, hey, it's danger. But you also have the value there too. So zero is like kind of saying it's safe. Yeah. So we'll take a look at the learn guide. All the code is open source and published. So you can reuse it, recompile it. Using Adafruit IO, the Raspberry Pi Pico W was added. So we have hardware support, shout out to Brent Burrell, who's on the Rubel, sorry, who's on the Adafruit IO team that added that for, particularly for this project, I think. So it's nice to have that added in now for for Adafruit IO. Cool. Pedro, you'll take a look at the learn guide. Did you want to take any questions or anything? Let's see if we have one. Okay, really quick question from Rolls asking what's the best way to make a wireless outdoor temperature sensor that can handle Norwegian weathers. That is a one we do not have experience with, especially the Norwegian weathers. If you can speak a little bit about that, maybe have like, I know for the weather balloon ones, we have these, the heaters, the flated heaters, right? Little heating pads that can help keep the, you know, the board from not freezing. So I don't know if that's something that can be used to sort of stabilize the temperature so it doesn't freeze on you. But maybe you do need the absolute temperature for it. Yeah. Good question. I'm sorry to have an answer. I'm up here in the northeast, and our winters aren't that bad these days. Maybe they were 20 years ago, but all right, did you want to drive this one? Yeah, so this is a learn guide. I thought it would be full screen, but let's do this one here. There we go. Though we're not covering the screen. Okay, there we go. Yeah, so this pretty much just layout of what we just talked about, how it is able to pull in multiple feeds and display it on any TV. We're showing it off here on a regular, you know, 42 inch monitor, then the tiny little seven inch, which I think is a little bit better since it would be a dedicated little monitor. The cool thing about this is you could build two of them and have one on a bigger TV and one on the smaller one. So the first for this, this is running the Pico W, wirelessly connecting to 8-Foot IO. Then we're using the Proto Doubler to house on the DVI output Pico, and that's what's doing all the output to the DVI monitors. And then your basic cables, your mini HDMI to regular HDMI. And then, which I didn't list here since I didn't know how many people were actually going to build the smaller one, all of the HDMI tables that you can customize and build your own. So like these bright angled ones and these smaller ribbons so that everything is nice and compact instead of having to like coil up a bunch of wires like I have here. It's nice to have everything nice fitted with the exact measurement or the exact lengths that you need to keep it nice and compact. So you can do your own DIY cabling for that. I had listed it here. Moving on to the code though, Liz did a really good job of listing all of the Arduino libraries that you're going to need for setting up your Pico board. Definitely want to do this to add all of the components and then you can download the zip file that'll have all of the header files and the H files that you need to get this going. And then if you need to update any of your, like how long it's sleeping, how long it's pulling in all of the data, you can update all of that in here. And then you can add more things. Setting up your IO key, there's all the info on that, how to get your IO feed info all in. Super simple for the 3D printing, it's pretty much just two plates that are housing the doubler with the Pico and the DVI Pico on top. Very simple, no supports needed for this. One thing I wanted to talk about the 3D printed plate, it's a VISA compatible mount, which I looked up and this is like the standard for mounting holes that go normally on a wall mounted display. And there's two variants of it, there's 100 millimeters on the across the two groups of holes and then there's those 75 millimeters. And this one is a 75 millimeter one. But I assume that most TVs have both of them because it's kind of like a I have noticed that. Yeah, right. So it's cool that it's a standard mounting hole thing. So this could work on any of this amount compatible device, which is nice. That's all. Yep, so it could be compatible with that or you can update the plate to have that be the 75, it needed to be bigger. Couple of the parts that we need here, I got the Pico that already had the headers attached. That's the Pico H just to make a little bit simpler for soldering all those headers on there. We have, I did use the short headers for the DVI Pico and those work as well. Now the doubler, we're using our nylon standoffs with the how they listed here just MF hex. So it has a standoff and then it has a thread on one side and that is what's threading into the printed standoffs. And that's just going to allow you to mount the optional printed grill on top. Don't really need it, but it, you know, it's nice to have it covered in case, you know, you want to attach something like stemma, additional stemma sensors on there. It is compatible with that. So that listed there added that. And that's pretty much it. Yeah, the connections for the HDMI and power. I have that listed here, the DIY ribbon cables so you can build your own ports and the sizes for the ribbon tables. Yeah. Yeah, the monitor itself. Yeah, this is a good example of just kind of how you can show the, really the the Adafruit Proto Doubler for Pi Cowbells. So you can use that really low cost Raspberry Pi Pico W deafboard. It's $6, $7 if you want it with the the soldered headers. But yeah, it's a great IoT board. It's great that we have support for Adafruit IO now. You can get up to two devices for free with a free account with I think 10 feeds or more, but check out the website to see how you want to use it. What else? The Pico DVI Cowbell is great for displaying graphics. It's pretty amazing that it can do HDMI out. And we were looking at the CAD design here. We have models of all the deafboards. The Pico, I think, is just something that I whipped up or I forget where I found that, but I didn't model that. I'm sure you can find a better model of it. Maybe on GrabCAD or maybe Raspberry Pi themselves have a model of it, but we have models that we're able to generate really precise models of all of our PCBs, all of the Morse PCBs. So they're all modeled in there for you, pre-populated with components. So it's nice. Yeah, I don't have the headers on here, but it is floated up to the top of where the headers would be. Right. Like I'm doing a lot of my modeling is just I just figure out what the measurement is for it. Yeah, let's move it over. Yeah, I like that it's very open. You can machine these out of or laser cut these because there's not really much other than the standoffs, but you know, it's a little standoffs here and that's only so that it gives it clearance for it's not on here, but the little debug port back here on there. That's to accommodate that. Yeah. Yeah, I'm noticing that some of them don't have the debug port on it. Some of the like the one without the headers for some reason has the I guess some versions, some revisions of the Pico W don't have those ports, but it's nice to have the clearance. Yeah, I mean, that's that's why I'm happy that I got one that did have it so I could accommodate the clearance for it. True. Yeah, cool. Yeah, really nice IoT board, lots of GPIO, and the Pico or the the Pie Cowbell doubler really gives you that all those extra features to kind of add on different things and prototype new projects with it. Yeah. And your design kind of makes it so that's adaptable and you can add more stuff so it's modular. Know what? And looking at this. Great ventilation. Yeah, this thing right here could be deleted to have the battery sit right under and if you wanted to make it portable have the battery underneath there. The reason I had this was because it is a visual visual leftover from the Lego mount that you're actually pushing down that onto a plate. It would sort of bend this. Yeah, that's right. It's such a long. Yeah, it's a good brace. Cool. But if you don't need it, that could be deleted and you could fit a battery under there. Cool. Of course, you can download all of the different file formats. Yep. Are you liking it? Yep. And you have STLs somewhere, too. All right. I can hide that for you. Okay. Got a nice alien GIF. Cool. Any other things you wanted to cover on the IO front? I think we're good. I think we talked about the battery booster or not the battery, the USB boost, the way I'm able to power the 12 volt TV is with this little guy here that is not going to focus because I have a manual focus on. Yeah. So if you wanted to power it this way, you could get this USB boost that's 12 and 9 volt. That is what's powering the TV and the two boards on the back. Yeah. I'm looking for that cable. USB 12 volt. Is that what it? Yeah. Oh, I see it now. Yay. Here we go. This is what Peter's talking about. It's a USB to 5.5 millimeters or 2.1 millimeter DC booster cable, 9 volt or 12 volt output. This is nice. This is nice to handy to have. I didn't know these existed until you showed them to me. I forgot I had two of them already. Oh, okay. Yeah. Oh, this would be handy. Yeah. The date finally came. Yeah. Yeah, it's nice. Very cool. Let me drop a link on the chats and discord. Here you go. I'm not sure if we linked it in the guide because it's not super required. Yeah. It was mostly the way that the Mar wanted it was for a bigger monitor, not having it as the portable one. But for shooting shots, it was easier to have it on the smaller one and ensure that it will work on a small monitor. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Any questions or stuff? Folks can let us know. Yeah. That's this week's project. Super cool way to monitor all of your IO feeds on any TV. Here we go. Yay. Cool. Go ahead and jump into this week's What Are We Prototyping? Yeah. Let me see if I can do it. All right. So last week we showed you a glimpse of our prototype of a new prop maker feather RP2040 project. This is the final version of it. Somewhat. I still have some colors to change on the filament, but this is a prop that's inspired by the memory gun from the TV show Gravity Falls. It's a cartoon show. This was suggested from Arkido. My nephew Gavin was a big fan of the show and he was like, hey, why don't you make this gun? It's a fun prop. So it's got an OLED display on the back here and it's got a rotary encoder here. And the idea is that you can use the rotary encoder to switch between different sound effect files. So this is powered by the prop maker RP2040. That's an all-in-one deaf board designed for props like this. So it has built-in amplifier. It has built-in Stem EQT. So this is an I squared C OLED that's connected via a Stem EQT cable. So it just kind of plugs and plays. The feather is inside this canister here. And the speaker is mounted up here. Rotary encoder is right here. And then this light is an LED noodle. So it's an LED filament. It's flexible and it's mounted. It's press-fitted into this 3D printed holder. And it kind of retains the shape that way because otherwise it's just flopping around. And this is a plastic Christmas ornament. You can get a whole pack of these on Amazon or other places. And it has a thread, so it just kind of screws in. There's a couple screws here that's assembled with some snap fit parts and some screwed parts. But nothing's really glued. Everything's press fit or snap fits and locks in place. I think it's a pretty cool example of showing how you can have an OLED display actual files. The names of the files are these actual text here. And you can have custom fonts if you want on the OLED display. But it's cool to have a list of files and you can swipe and scroll between them with the rotary encoder. I want to highlight that these are not baked in, like the files. This is all loaded dynamically, like the text for the files that are in there. Exactly. So you can name the file whatever and it'll show up. They're WAVE files, but you could also do MP3s if you want to convert them. Nice. So I will share, there's 10 files that I created using kind of a roll free sound pack. But they're kind of your typical sounds. I really like the bold. I've always wanted to do an Edison style prop, and it's cool that it's in this form factor. You got a little push button here. It's just a standard push button, no LED in there. And then the battery is these nice 2200 cylindrical batteries. It fits inside the handle here. And it just gets screwed together. It's kind of a fun, interesting shape. In the show, it's got this kind of bronze, gold kind of look to it. And then this is supposed to be like this kind of blast shield. Yeah, I think it's pretty cool. So as a fun, we haven't done a kind of a handheld prop ray gun in quite some time. So it's really nice to kind of do it with the new hardware with CircuitPython. You can add all sorts of different things to it. It's got the prop maker board has an accelerometer. So if you want to do some accelerometer stuff, you could do that as a Neopixel driver. So if you wanted to have this be a Neopixel, and maybe have each sound effect would have a different color. That could be something you could do if you wanted to put a Neopixel in there instead of a noodle. So it's just a way to kind of inspire folks built in battery charging. It's got USB-C. So you just plug in, search charging the battery. No animation really in it because it's just an LED. We don't really have a way to animate the LED. If we wanted to PWM, we'd have to solder it to one of the pins. We were like, yeah, just make it so it turns on and off. But it's completely customizable if folks want to do that. And it's cool to have a rotary encoder. I really like a rotary encoder and a screen on a prop. I haven't really seen that done in some of our stuff. So and the on-off switch is down there too. So I can turn it off like this. Boop. Now it's off. Super cool. Turn it back on. And it's all kind of press fit stuff. I can take this out. Let's see if I think it's probably pretty tight for me. Let me see here. Yeah, I was going to remove the screen, but I don't want to mess with it right now. I'm not live. Yeah. I have this piece kind of snap fits off. So if you really want to get in there. Yeah, it's a really good way to do that. Yeah. We got screw block terminals. Just a reminder for folks, the screw block terminals makes you don't have to solder really anything to the feather. It's all modular other than the slide switch. We got to solder that to the enamel and ground pin. But it's nice that everything kind of just threads through here and then you can just connect it to here. And I really like the color coded cables here. Let's me know what's the switch. What's the LED? Oh, I got that white marker. Oh, yeah. The oil based white marker. And that's how I was labeling what is ground, what is power. Oh, really? Yeah. So that's a good idea. A lot of the ribbon cables, we'll get like the 10, like the 10 pack of them, but we'll use, you know, them in like, you know, I need four here and like, like string cheese, peel it off. Yeah. Left with, you know, ones that aren't labeled. So that's a really good way to add labeling to them to a black wire is to use the oil based white Sharpie to be able to draw on the black silicone wire. So it'll stay on there and we'll just pop. Yeah. So that's my tip for that one. And I just sit there and like dot it across the entire one side of the wire. Yeah. But yeah, the way that we're able to nicely bundle everything with the prop maker because of the terminals. And it is just chef's kiss right there being able to neatly, modularly assemble this. Because as we're seeing right now, we'll have to update certain parts, we'll have to change colors on things, adjust tolerances, and it's easy to go in there and just unplug something that needs to, you know, thread through something to easily replace a part. Because I already, I already know, you know, this is for the kids, so they don't break something on it. Yeah. When they do, it's easy to pop off, replace the part and plug it back in to rethread things. Yeah. This is for sure. Yeah. I really like that this piece is not 3d printed. You know, it's flexible. It's not going to break. It's bendy as I'm flexing it. So it's all plastic and it's clear. It's meant for like DIY hobby crafts for like holidays. So I really liked that I was able to find something on Amazon that you can get and it has a thread. So it's easy to take it off, put it on. I feel like we can reuse this for a different project too. Yeah. I think we might do like a lamp or something, a Christmas kind of thing with the noodles. I really like the, I'll speak a little bit about when you're writing circuit python code, there's a way when you're dealing with audio files, there's a way to do multiple audio files playing at the same time. So for example, the lightsaber has the mixer object in circuit python and this one doesn't use the mixer because we found that there are some latency issues. So that's why it's so quick. It's just, it's just not using that mixer. The mixer has this little bit of a delay. So just if folks want to make something really low latency, maybe don't use the mixer if it's not needed. And that's just one kind of thing I thought that was like interesting. Have you tried holding down while you're doing the? Yeah. I wasn't sure if we wanted to keep that. I think it sounds cool. It's kind of like glitchy, right? I think it sounds cool. Yeah. It's not intentional, but that's just the way it is. Yeah. You gave me your only acrylic? Yeah. Yeah. I had to, I had to cut some, like I had to cut some more, but that was the last pre-cut because I have a small CNC machine and not every piece of acrylic is going to fit on there. But here it is 3D printed in like a translucent kind of color. I dropped the one I did in the printer. But Pedro's got the nice acrylic one as well. Oh, you did a Petchi? Okay. That's cool. Yeah. But man, this is the edge lit one and man, I keep looking over at it. Yeah. I keep feeling that a light is on. Yeah. I remember to turn it off, but it's just the edge. I did model this if folks want to print that, but I just don't think you can get the same effect. Maybe in resin, but like even still, like it's great that you can just buy something off the shelf and it screws in and there's no, you know, needing to wait for this part to print. The only print, the only printed pit is that the internal thing to hold the noodle in. So that's cool. And you can choose different colors of the noodle. But it was a perfect size, like the 300 millimeter length like fit perfectly in here. So it kind of worked out nice little bit extra left over. Yeah, that's true. But it makes it so that it goes all the way down in there. Oh yeah, it hides it. Yeah. So that's pretty cool. Yeah, I don't like it in the gray color, like all gray, but to be sure, accurate as you know, it's got that brown kind of color. There is another piece here that I didn't print out. It's like supposed to have these like little symbols or something and I didn't put it on yet because I didn't put it on either. Yeah, I gotta print it. Otherwise, it's a fun prop. We haven't done a problem. So yeah, this is really cool. I guess what was the last one? I think the the howl 9000 what really wasn't like a handheld prop. But yeah, prop maker still super awesome board. So give us maybe two weeks because we're taking next week off for spring break. But then we'll be back with this one. I've already started taking assembly photos of it, but it's a relatively simple build. I think I'll put it on for beginners because you do got to do a little bit of soldering. Like I said, the slide switch for the feather, you do need a resistor for the LED. It seems simple to us because we've made so many of these, but I will yeah, I think it's fine. It's way better than the original Reagan from Fallout. Oh yeah. Oh my god. I don't know if I would say this is for beginners. Okay, I'll write it. Maybe intermediate. Yeah. Again, we're looking at this through the lens of us making these things for 11 years or whatever. Yeah. Have a really cool stand too. So oh yeah. Yeah. There's a quick one. I might kind of make it more fun or something more intricate, but yeah, it keeps it upright like this, which is nice. I have an extra bulb. This is the Christmas bulb. It comes with like the thing. I got a pack of 12. So I shipped Pedro six of them. So maybe we can do something else with it. But yeah, it just has like a really, really simple thread. It's like one and a half resolutions. Took a little bit to model that to make a nice adapter for it, but I did test pieces and I'll always get to do test pieces. Oh my gosh. We print the whole elaborate kind of thing. But yeah, just a simple little plastic bulby bulb. Super cool. Yeah, it's a fun one. I like these fun, non, non-involved kind of thing. It's more like about the design and stuff. It's cool. Yeah. Now I like that. This was such a good way to get the kids to clean up. Oh, that's funny. You're like, you can't do with the crop unless you clean up your room. Yeah. And again, it was a suggestion from Gavin himself. He's a fan of the show. He's got those journals that are like these, you know, cool references within the universe of It's a really good show. Great, great writing. Very funny. And that was just one of like the kind of interesting props in the show. It's a unique design. I really like that the design is so different than any other kind of ray gun that I've seen. Yeah. And especially since it has like a cool light and the noodle I've been wanting to do a prop with the noodles, so everything kind of melded really good together. So I saw that intricate filament one inside the fusion files that does, will that print work? The one where the filament for the Yeah. Yeah, cool. Yeah. I had to do a lot of 3D moving the spline curve to make it loop around, but I couldn't figure out a way how to print that. So I just ended up going with a simple, you know, what you see here. It's just that simple thing. Otherwise, I'd need like a lot of support because this prints flat with no supports. I guess you could print it, but I don't know how you would get the noodle in there. Another thing would be to try to take the noodle and like vent, maybe take the tip off and mold it, you know what I mean, like fold it into itself. So it makes it loop and maybe use like a clear fishing string to kind of tie it down somehow. I thought about that, but there are so many details in the model more but more like inside the model that like I focused on like how to make this so that it's no glue really. I mean, there's some decals that you can glue down, but I wanted everything to be kind of screwed and snap fit. But yeah, the files will be all available. So if folks want to make it even more intricate, they're free to do so. Yeah, so super fun. We'll have it out in the next two weeks. But I'm starting on the guide now so that I'm not like behind when I take next week off. All right, page or post the link to eight of the cat parts if you want a three model of the Pico doubler or the the feather prop maker RP 2040 boards and many other boards that are available in different file formats on GitHub. Link is in the descriptions. And if you want to pick up your own prop maker, you can get 10% off with DVI out as coupon code. I think they're in stock. Make a check real quick. How we doing prop maker RP 2040. They are in stock 20 bucks. I mean, there's so much stuff that's in it. I forgot we got servo control. Yeah, you control Neopixel, it's got accelerometer, high quality digital amplifier, the I2S, my favorite prop board, the prop board on board charging, circuit python, Arduino is dope. Yeah, future stuff. I want to make a new pit boy. Like I've watched all the fallout. I've really enjoyed the fallout TV show that came out last week. What I'll be doing while you guys take off. Yeah. Yeah, you've been really done with this one. I think pit boy would be really fun. I want to do one. We haven't done one since Raspberry Pi B. Oh my God. We're on Pi five. Barely worked. I don't think we need a pie anymore. We can use. Yeah, John made a mini pit boy. Yeah, he did a little one. It's kind of like an image slide show. And it had a, yeah. But I'd like to do them with maybe the 3.5 inch feather TFT on circuit python. We can have audio. Maybe we can put a real radio in it. So there's a pit boy remake that's remaster, I guess, from IGN. It's like $200. It's like super, like a clock and has a radio, I think. It's fully featured. It's going to be a lot to kind of compare to it. Yeah. So it's a little like, do we want to invest the time? I don't know yet, but it'd be cool to do one. Yeah, we have an FM radio. Yeah, we do. We do. We could actually make it FM radio. So it could be pretty dope. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Gavin listens to a lot of radio. That's actually how he goes to sleep. He has a radio on in his room. Yeah. All right. Well, we have a lot of community makes. We'll do the time lapse and then community make some of that. Yeah. Go ahead and jump into this week's time lapse Tuesday for community makes. This week is this super cool flexible snail. There's a big boy. What's that? Good boy. Yeah. I don't know why we made a snail. Really? Yeah. Is it for spring? Springtime? Is that? I don't know. It's a cool, it's a cool model. Let's take a look at time lapse. Yeah. It looks like you used some rainbow PLA filament with a little bit of glitter inside of it. Yeah. It's the glitter chameleon mirror rainbow. So it goes through that purple up into a blue and you can see there all the print settings for that. Yeah. In place, I did use some supports just for the sides of the shell and it doesn't look like they added a butt to his shell right there. Yeah. A little bit of a crack there going on. It's a fantastic organic model. I'm amazed that the printer didn't have all this string. Minor cleanup. Maybe a little bit of zits here and there, but I didn't do any cleanup. Yeah. It's pretty good quality there. There is a bunch of like angel hair here and there. You can see on the eyeball, but for the most part, yeah. This is a, the, this chrome, I'm sorry, chameleon chrome mirror rainbow is really good in handling any drips or any like stringing. And as I've said many times with the way that I do the time lapses, it takes like five seconds for the, that it's waiting that the nozzle moves away from the print, waits for like five seconds as it's sitting there, you know, getting hot and dripping as the camera is taking a long exposure picture. Yeah. This one is able to not have as much drip in terms of the, the filament just oozing out while it's waiting for the camera to snap a photo. I really like this moment for that. This is stronghold chameleon chrome mirror rainbow. You got on Amazon, I think it is on Amazon delivers like next day. Okay. Good stuff. I wish I could use it all the time. I've seen some prints, you know, so stringy. On them all nicely print in place. You can kind of see the joints here. It's like a hoop that's hooking into each other. Let's see it. It's hard to see. But yeah, flat. I did have a, I have a brim on there. Okay. This is like smaller thinner pieces like this right here. When it first starts printing, I'm always scared that's going to get knocked off, but didn't really need it. And yeah, the eyes are delicate. The kids already broke. I printed a blue one from that for them. Yeah, but it glued on really good. Okay. So this is designed by Payne them on Colt 3D. It's paid model. It's about $3.66 USD. So there's a lot of photos of it. Sorry, the website's a little. That's a good one. Yeah, I wonder if that's the 3D renderer. Not sure. I was going to say maybe they put on the 3x texture. Sorry, there's a little texture. So much texture. Yeah, it is detailed. Of the snail toy turtle print in place, animal flexi cute. Get all the SEO titles in there. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's a cool print. Cool model. Definitely worth the three bucks. Yeah. Just reading if there's anything I can pull out of the thing. So, you know, FTM. I wanted to show off my teeth that were FTM printed. Oh yeah. Okay. We're going into shop talk now. No, no, I don't remember where I left them. Oh, that's funny. Yeah, Pedro went to the dentist and these days dentists will produce 3D print model of your teeth. Last time I went to the dentist, they did not have a 3D printer and I did not get a 3D. I got, I think photos x-ray photos of my teeth, but nowadays you can get 3D model of your teeth. Just super cool. Yeah. They didn't give you an STK. Looks like you just request them because they just throw them away anyway. Oh, they throw them away. They should really give them to the customer. Right? I would like an STL of my teeth. Then I could integrate them into a some creepy Halloween prop where it has my actual teeth. Yeah, that'd be cool. And I don't know. That's cool. Let me know in the comments if you have had your dentures 3D modeled and printed because I never heard of that. I knew they did it, but I thought it was like for very crazy operations. I thought it would be a form lab. It's like a resin print. Right? It looks at FDM to me like .005 resolution. That's crazy. Any support material? Well, I don't know. Maybe PVA. Yeah, what printer did you guys use? I don't know, right? Should have some. Yeah. I got to go back like all year. Yeah. All refillings. Yeah. Yeah. Fillings back in the day, they used the wrong fillings. Yeah. All right. Again, the model's on cold 3D. If you want to support the tame them, the designer of the model, it's good stuff. Yeah. I like it. Very cool. We're going to move on to community makes. We got a handful of them, so we can take our time on them. We got a couple, about 15 minutes left of the show. All right. First up, I got a remix of our legacy lightsaber with the original prop maker feather wing. This was posted up by flower butt on Thingiverse. And they wanted to remix the part with a couple of different embellishments. And I think they redid the threads so that they're going a different way, I can see here. You can still use the original top and bottom with the new parts, airtight circuit cover with additional braces for security here, and a solid threaded connector here. So that's nice. No supports required for the parts. And they have a little summary here. Just wanted to share the alterations made to the hilt. The centerpiece can now be screwed into the counterparts. This design provides more rigidity along with quicker assembly and assembly. So it's the work printing without supports. It saves you some time with filament, printed the entire lightsaber vertically without supports and everything works great. Original design by Adafruit. This was printed in PLA with any cubic printer. So really like it when folks remix the design and offer their designs. This is, I think, the emblem for the Jedi Order. Very cool. Very nice. Okay. I suspect as May the 4th gets closer, we're going to see a lot more of these being printed out. Cool. After that, we got a cool post of their Tron disc. Oh, I missed it. Does this one use, oh, this one's a Bluetooth one. That's right. Yeah. So Brian M posted their make of it. Works great. Now I need to find time to wire up the electronics. So this one has a print, a filament swap. So when you print, it's kind of the bottom is actually the top. It gets printed in a white or translucent filament. You swap it up for black and you get this infused disc. And all the electronics get fitted in there. So you think a prop maker or is it not a prop maker? No, it is. Okay. It's prop maker feathering with a Bluefruit NRF 5840 and a little speaker. And I think it has, it uses accelerometer to shake and stuff. Yeah. You actually took this to the Magic Kingdom Tron ride. Yeah, right. That's so cool. That was the timing on this was freaking insane. Opening of the ride. That's like what five years to make. Yeah, it's like maybe five or six years because of the pandemic. Getting the virtual queue to just get on the ride is so hard. Like you got to wake up at seven, no, six in the morning and like get your spot in there with you know, millions of other people trying to get in. Yeah. Yeah, people are making it. It's got about six makes in here and Brian M is gonna try to build it with the electronics. It's very fun. Okay, I'm trying to say it's better than the one that they sell at Disney because you don't need to pay to change the color. There's a magnet so it can actually stick to your back like in the movies. Yeah, that's pretty cool. And I hear there's a new movie in the works, a new Tron movie, Aries. Yes. So I guess it's gonna be a triangle now? Oh really? It's a teaser? Yeah, I'm not sure. This is a cool shot of like it in the background of the ride. It's dope. I have, I've only wrote it twice. Yeah. That's how hard it is and I live here. Yeah, I know. 15 minutes away. Yeah, as an annual pass holder. And it's so difficult to get on. Yeah. All right. All right, moving on. Jessica posted a permake of the heat set insert press. And she wrote, I've been looking forward to making this for ages and I finally got the hardware and made it. It holds my soldering iron and I appreciate that it's easy to adjust the stopper. She says, I had my husband make this glorious walnut base with a little tray to hold the inserts, screws and all the little bits that roll around on the table. So it looks like it fits really nice. I love that base. It's fantastic. It's got a nice pocket there. Yeah, looks super clean. Bevels and chamfers all over it. Yeah, really nice. Really nice job. Wow. Yeah. So this one looks like it uses the black anodized aluminum. It's great. Oh my god. A lot of remixes done to this one because folks tend to find, you know, some of the tenses might not work out, but definitely take a look at all the other remixes. Lots of folks remix the handle, the holder, the clamp for the soldering iron itself. Because those are just, it's just impossible to make something that fits every soldering iron. I would like to hide like that. The tolerance is not fitting. Yeah. You printed the handle again, same printer, different filament. Now it's different tolerance. Yeah, it's weird. Filament. Yeah, the filament. What? I don't know why, but it did. Yep. So very cool. Thanks to Jessica for posting that up. Looks fantastic. All right, moving on. We got another make. This one's from Brian M also made the Epcot Spaceship Earth. Love this project. It's a nice scale replica of the Spaceship Earth from Epcot in a Disney world. And they printed it on their Prusa in this gray filament. Nice. And Osa says, now time to get the electronic complete. A lot of folks have made remixes too and added all sorts of different microcontrollers, anything that uses WLED. It's really fun. I really enjoyed this project. It's really fun. So it's great to see people still making it. Great addition to your collection if you're an Epcot fan. After that? Again, better than the one that they sell at the creation shop. Oh, really? Yeah, because they do sell one, but it just doesn't have the many lights. It doesn't have WLED, man. Yeah, WLED is fantastic for this project. The animations are so cool. And you can map it different ways if you want. But yeah, love this project. All right, moving on. We got a make of our Pi SSD media server. This is a cool 3D printed enclosure that we designed for the Raspberry Pi and an OLED display button. Some additional buttons. This was posted up by, let me see, the maker is L Muriel, LM IRL. They posted this up on Colt3D. So that's cool. It looks like a robot's face. Yeah, this was, I think, for accessing the SSD card or something, the microSD card. Yeah. It's got a handle. Let's see. Not a NAS remixed. Oh, yeah. You left yours here. I did, yeah. Yeah, it's cool if you're doing a media server and you want to use something like Plex or something else. What's on here right now? I think Plex. Plex lets you stream stuff. I really don't have any, what do you call it? Movies on my server, so. Well, my connection just died on me. Oh, really? Yeah. Was I still there? Well, I was just saying that I don't have any files, I think, on my actual SSD. Or maybe I did. I think I grabbed all of our Adafruit videos and just threw them on there. And that's all it does is it just plays them. But the point is that you can you can boot off of the SSD drive. So you have way more storage. And it has a cooling fan and all this stuff. You'll see this design a lot. A lot of makers have kind of designed similar things. And I wanted to have my own spin on it with our own, you know, Stem-AQT OLED display. And it looks like they posted their own kind of code here for showing the CPU load. It's got these bar graphs and you got the uptime and low temperature gauge. So it's pretty cool. It's good use of the Raspberry Pi. It should fit the Pi 5, I think. And it's a little bit modular because you can change out the faceplate if you need to. I think it uses heat set inserts. So it's built to be modular. All right. Moving on, we got some more props. RandomRDP posted up their make of the Zelda Breath of the Wild Guardian Sword. This one's posted up with no comments or description. So just got an image of it. It looks really cool. It's kind of an older prop. This is before the prop makers. Yeah, so you got a little bit more intricate circuit here with five volt train kit and the LiPo battery backpack. But it's so cool. A lot of people make this project. It's a very fun one. After that, we got a Dark Saber. This one uses the prop maker Feather Wing with a Bluetooth Feather. This was posted up by Random. Again, RandomRDP. They posted their Dark Saber up. So it's kind of a fun build. I like that the blade is fully 3D printed. Covers are fully 3D printed. Everything's printed. And you have the ability to change the lights and the animations with the Bluetooth board. Yeah, I like the feel of it. I think they updated the toy one at Galaxy's Edge. It still feels chunky. This one feels nice. Prop Maker Feather Wing. After that, we got another heat set insert. This is a remix. It's got a different nut plate. It uses these eccentric nuts. So this was posted up by Najo. They said this is a modification of the Adafruit heat set press which uses a secretary nut in the main plate. It allows to adjust the clearance between the wheels and the frame for a perfect fit. The nuts shaft must be 7mm. So yet another great remix for particular uses. Looks like they use a different string too. Oh, it's one of those that are retractable. You know, like those retractable lanyards? Looks like that's what they used here to kind of lift it back up. Wines it back up. Yeah, winds it back up. It's very cool. And then the last one to round it off, but just five minutes of the show, we got one from Jay Pat Kinson posted up their make of the Macro Pad. Put it in place, stand. Macro Pad not added yet, but great. They say it's a great design. Really appreciate the share. You put it on their cruelty under S, under 3S1. It's a nice little stand for the Macro Pad. And that is this week's community makes. Thank you everybody for posting up your Macs. Really appreciate it. We had a lot this week. It was quiet for the past two weeks. It's nice that we get a whole bunch in one week that folks are getting back from their spring break. Speaking of which, we'll be out next week. Just does a program right now. We're taking our spring week off. Not really off. It just means we're not doing a guide or video cleaning up project stuff. Gotta clean up around. This new Trinkie Lamar is working on. Oh, no. Interesting. Oh, the Pixel Trinkie. Yeah. It's not out. Don't ask. I'm sure we'll talk about it later tonight. Yeah, we'll probably do some projects in DSL. I thought it was a prop maker. Yeah. All right. Is anyone in the chats want to say anything before we close out the show? I think folks are all. Looks like everybody's spring break right now. Yeah. Yeah. Do it up. The weather is getting really nice up here in our hemisphere. It's going to be 90 today. Yeah, I know. It's 55 here in Massachusetts and you're down to South Florida. It's 60s in the morning. It's 60s in the afternoon. I guess the last of that, last week of that here. Yeah. Shout out to Shannon. Great show. Thank you for coming. Thank you for watching. We have more shows tonight. Tonight is Ask an Engineer and Show and Tell. Who's hosting? I believe it might be back to Lamar and PT you're hosting. Or is it Melissa hosting? I'm not sure. Show and Tell. It'll be a surprise who's hosting. Show and Tell. It starts at 730 Eastern time. Every Wednesday at 730 PM Eastern time. Come on. The A3 Discord server to get a link to invite, to get a link to the invite StreamYard. I'm running out of words. And then at 8 PM Eastern time is Ask an Engineer with Mr. and Mrs. Lady Aida. Full hour of open source hardware news. New products. IonMPI and more. Another coupon code as well tonight. JP's Product Workshop is on Thursdays. That's tomorrow at 4 PM Eastern time. Fridays is Deep Dive with sometimes Scott and sometimes Tim, a foamy guy. So we have Deep Dive on Fridays. Sunday's is Desk of Lady Aida. She does a live stream on the evenings on Sundays. Monday is Circuit Python. Weekly meetings. Community meetings. Tuesdays is JP's Product Pick of the Week. And then wrapping back up to Wednesday. Every Wednesday at 11 AM Eastern time. Except for next week because we're taking off. And next week, yeah, we're taking off. All right, don't forget if you want to pick up anything from the Adishoo shop, you can support your maker habit. You support the company. Us. Everyone doing a great job. Get your 10% off code with DVI Outputs. And you'll get another one tonight too. Another coupon code. All right. What do you think, Pedro? We good? I think that's it, man. With all that said. With all that said. Number two, make a great day. Week after. See you tonight though.
