 What's up, folks? Welcome back to another 3D Hangouts. My name is Noeva Ruiz. I'm a designer here at Adafruit. Enjoy me every week as we're with Adafruit. Good morning, everybody. I'm Pedroz Creative Tech here at Adafruit. And every week we're here to share three dependent projects featuring electronics from Adafruit. That's right. It's sure we can buy a 3D printing during a while in Tronix to make inspirational projects. Hello, everybody hanging out in the Discord chat room. If you'd like to join us throughout the live show, you can do so by hitting up the Discord server. The URL link, invite link for that, is discord.gg slash Adafruit. And it's at the top there in that purple bar. Cool, cool. We will take a couple minutes to let everybody say what's up. We'll do some shout-outs. We'll do the housekeeping stuff that we normally do in the beginning of the show for about five minutes. And then we'll jump right into this week's very glowy project. Okay, now shout-outs to everybody hanging out in all of the chat rooms. We're over on discord.gg slash Adafruit. Also hanging out in the YouTube, on Facebook, Twitch, and Periscope. Shout-outs to everybody hanging out. Do Wester, Jim Hendrickson, Paul Cutler, Andy Caliway, Oz and Yanni. Good morning, everybody. Some shoes. Make sure to join the Discord to see all the banter and all the cool just being posted. There's always questions being answered right there. There's always questions being asked. And answered. Answers being questioned. Oh, so clever. All right, let's run through the housekeeping stuff. We'll let you folks say things and add more fun. Look at this gift. It's great. All right, I'm gonna get through this real quick. Send it over to Adafruit.com slash free. Find out all the freebies that are going on this week. It's pretty similar to last week. I'll run through them very quickly. Or if you spend order, if your order is over $99 more, you're gonna get a free half-size promo proto. And if your order is $149 or more, you get that half-size promo proto plus a Stem IQT breakout board for orders that are $200 or more, you get the Stem IQT breakout, the half-size promo proto and free ground shipping for U.S. continental only, UPS ground shipping, which is very, very good. Trackable and all that good stuff. While supplies last, and supplies are kind of lasting. So that's good. All right, newsletter. Shout out to everybody for subscribing to the Python on my free controller, Loose Letter and everybody for submitting their stuff. You can always submit your stuff at cpadafruit.com. That's an email. You can submit your stories, links, articles, all sorts of stuff, it's all good. Thank you, shout out to Ambrella for doing all the edits and running this thing. And for everybody subscribing, very cool. AdafruitDaily.com is where you can subscribe to the Python on my free controller, Loose Letter and other categories. These are all not tied to your Adafruit account. So if you wanna get subscribed to them, you have to manually. And it's a separate server circuit website, AdafruitDaily.com. We run the 3D printing one. Circuit Python meetings happen every Monday and this Monday it happens at 2 p.m. Eastern time. Great opportunity to tune in to find out all the latest happenings in the world of Circuit Python and beyond. Different. Heading on over to the jobs board at jobs.adafruit.com. It's a great place for folks to post up their skills and from place to find cool makers. We got a new posting here, an electrical enthusiast for frame rates theories in the Dallas, Texas area. That's the contract position. And there's many other positions as well. Take a look if you are looking. And that's help wanted. I think that's all the housekeeping. Right, one last snow. We'll jump back into it, but this week we are, or tonight rather, we are hosting show and tell. So we invite you to come on tonight at 7.30 p.m. Eastern time. We're hosting it. And then after that at 8 p.m. is Lamar and Phil, Mr. and Mrs. Lady Aida, doing Ask an Engineer. All right, awesome. All right, and don't forget this week a month rather is Woman's History Month. So check out the Adafruit blog for some awesome highlight stories and whatnot on the Adafruit blog. All right, let's jump back into it. Very awesome. Discour. Hello, everybody. Good morning. Good morning. Oh, Yanni spent all the shoe gifts. All right, very cool. That'll be next week's project. But this week's project is a couple of cool little wearables. That's right, PT got inspired by some Etsy links that he saw on these cool little glow in the dark wearables and he wanted some little three-printed cases for them so you can have them be zipper pulls for hoodies. So nice little cool way to have these little industrial grade glow in the dark powder. Yeah, have like a nice little way to, oh, trying to get this black light going. You got the SOS. I know, it's like, come on, why do you need that on a black light? Flashlight needs SOS, that's just the way it is. Oh, and I can't hear it all. Good thing we have two of them. It's another one. I can't find them at all. So super cool little cool way to have a tiny little fairy bar or bottle, charm bottle is what they're called. And a couple of people in the comments were asking, why I didn't use, I can't even pronounce the name, some sort of vial that they're using for like scientific stuff. I did a quick search and they come like in packs of 100. I don't need a hundred of these. So I grabbed like a pack of 11, I think it was for like five bucks from your local craft store. Won't say the other name because everybody hates that craft store. But you can find them on Amazon. Yeah, so you can find them on Amazon. I took the link out so you guys can't find the exact ones I use because people don't like it. So luckily the design file for this is completely edible. So you can't adjust the diameter and the height that you want for this, even the patterns. So nice little way to make not only zipper pulls but some of the other ideas that was on that Etsy listing was for like your key chain. There were some comments on the YouTube. People want to like attach it to their tent. So a nice little way to have like a nice, natural powered light from when you're out camping in the dark. Yeah, a nice little way to have a nice wearable on that. You can kind of see it there. If you go to the other screen. No, you can't see it. The camera. It's hard to capture this on camera. Yeah, the camera likes to adjust. Natural light is gonna capture way more sensitivity than your camera, especially webcam. So luckily the glow-in-the-dark powder links go to Amazon, hopefully. Those are kosher. So these are industrial glow-in-the-dark and Lamar is gonna try to stock these. Hopefully it bottles too. So we can actually have a nice acceptable place to have these purchased from. So the glow-in-the-dark stuff comes like in a five pack. I didn't bring the other one because it's not as bright as these four here. And the green out of the bunch is the one that charges up so quick. Was there a pink? I don't think there was a pink. I think it was like a dark blue or something. And you can kind of immediately see how fast the green one charges up. I think the blue is the second one that charges up as quick. And yeah, these are supposed to be, so you can mix them with any other material. It's like mica powder, so it is, the green one is kind of chunky. I think like the thinnest one was I think the aqua one where they did like grind it up, like a micro grind or something. That one flows through a funnel very easily. And yeah, you're supposed to like mix these with like paints or one of the other ideas was having like a watch or something, like a watch band and you embed it into that. Yeah, these slip right in. So it's really cool. These are glass, so you're gonna be careful with these. We thought they were plastic, but Pedro broke one. So these are definitely glass. Yes, you probably find plastic ones, you know? Try to find some cool little bottle charms. They do come with the cork thing and you can add a split ring or whatever. The 3D printed part has a pretty thick, the cap rather has a pretty thick loop so you can add your split ring. You can make that bigger or smaller, but when you make something like that, you don't really need support material. I don't think any of these parts need support material because they just kind of catch themselves, you can see there. The threading there is a custom coil that was made in Fusion and you could just screw this on so you get that extra protection plus the cork top there. You could find some different, instead of powder, maybe like rocks, like glow-in-the-dark rock things that look really cool too. That's what I was hoping for. Yeah, but the powder works really well too. Now getting the powder in the bottle is not as easy as you think. That's where you wanna get a funnel. You can either buy a funnel or a 3D print your own funnel, which is what we did. The first one, I just used a paper, piece of paper and just coil it up into a cone. Yeah, it's pretty neat. Some other ideas, instead of like a wearable, think about like a fan pole. If you always get confused, you could make a custom fan pole. The blinds as well, so if you wanna pull little blinds. Anything you need to pull a zipper, a tent, like somebody said in the comment, so that'd be really cool. It was an accessibility thing for nighttime, so you can see things. Yeah, so it's a cool idea. I like glow-in-the-dark powder, no need for an LED with this stuff because it just charges up with UV light. And man, you don't even need to put anything in it if you don't want, you know? It's still kind of a cool little thing here. Yeah, some of the comments were the- You can get glow-in-the-dark filament. The glow-in-the-dark filament was one of the comments, but I didn't wanna take away from the glow-in-the-dark stuff that we have. Yeah, we want contrast, and I think the contrast is what makes the effect look really cool. So you have like the case is dark, and then inside the case, it's like illuminating, glowing. So you get that effect by having contrast. We're gonna walk through the learn guide, and we're gonna take a nice deep dive into our slicing settings, because 3D printing this might not be easy for your printer, and we have some cool settings in Cura that might be useful for getting really fine-quality prints that require no cleanup. How about that? It's all in PLA, right? This is all in PLA and PETG. So we think those two are pretty much the top filaments that we recommend PLA, and now PETG. We like PETG. All right, let's go ahead and jump into the guide. This is where you can get all of the step files to download. You can edit the sketches that make the diameters for this, and that is what's driving the screw cap and the thread. So all you have to do is edit that and adjust the threading, and you're good to go with your custom-sized bottle charm. Yep. So on Amazon, we found this pack, but you can probably find them anywhere local or wherever you like. I think I picked this one based on the reviews. Okay, so that's always a good thing. Review them. Lots of ratings here. All the picture, the customer pictures is what I was looking at. Yeah, but there's a plethora of dark stuff. Hey look, you have ones that are already in the bottles. Yeah. We're just going to spend the next 20 minutes shopping on Amazon because that's what happens. You're like, oh, we should have got paint. Yeah, I don't know if you should put this on. The ones that I got, I don't know if you should put this on your face. Like they're showing more of those photos. Yeah. I don't know if there's... You have just written these photos. Okay, look, we're going to go back. Anyway. We are not condoning that. Just in case. Yeah, you don't want to ingest this or have this in your skin or any of that stuff. So keep it in the bottle. Don't even touch it. Try not to bring that in. Safety things matter for sure. So you want to be really safe with the stuff. Don't let it around kids and all that. Is that good? I got my safety lap card. I'm laughing at the gym. This is the great search with the one Pedro on Amazon. Oh shit. And yes, it sounded like I said completely edible. No. The files are completely editable. Editable. Do not... You're able to edit them, modify them. Don't eat them. As you can see, I just reprinted the funnel. I don't know if you went over this or not. Not yet. We're just like trying to get the parts. Like there's lots of these bottle charms. That's the key word. You want to look for bottle charms. Hopefully they have them in different plastic or glass. We got ours in glass. There's different shapes and sizes. All of these seem to be like 100 pack. 50 pack. We... Do you want to just... I don't need that many. We were able to find this from our local craft store. It was just like a pack of 11, I believe. It was a pack of 11 and they're called bottle charms. Yeah. All right, let's go to 3.0 pitch. And here we have just a list of what the different sizes for these. I have like a regular size one. Oh, you have different sizes. And a smaller diameter one. And I just list what the sizes for each one of those are. Again, you can go ahead into the zipper pull step files. I have all three of those sizes there. You can download, open up in... Whatever, cat package? Yeah. That was going to say what was done. Exactly. Which should be all of them. Yeah, I think so. Or you can just get the STL files and download those off. And again, like you were saying, no supports needed. The... We were going through the slice settings. Yes. And one of the ones that made the print, the cleanest. So simple. You want to jump over into Cura. Yeah, your machine. Oh, yeah. You can run this one. Okay. So if we go into Cura, one of the things that you had listed was this, the knot on outer surface. Yes, so where are you? So this is under the travel section. And inside the combing mode, you'll have these all up. And I think you had it within infill. And for certain models or geometry, that works pretty well. But when you have a bunch of retraction, I found that the knot on outer surface produced the cleanest amount of... With all these little holes and all the retraction that's going on, that's what came out the cleanest. And I think the other one that you had was the... Z-Hop. The Z-Hop turned that off. Yeah, so Z-Hop when retract, we turned that off. And so, doing less straightness. Yeah. That would have to be the two magic slice settings that completely give you a super clean print. Because when I was, at first when I was trying this, I had it within the infill and there was so much string and I was sitting there trying to clean every one of these little holes to make it nice for the camera. Get closer. And I see you still have a little bit of retraction but not as bad as it was before. You can kind of see. Let's get closer. A little bit there. Even closer. Until it's in focus. There you go. Yeah, you can see a little bit there. Yeah, but this is very... So what is the diameter of these holes, you think? I can tell you. Probably like three to four millimeters. 2.5. Can you get closer? So 2.5 millimeter for the jammer for each of these. And I did try a bunch of different sizes too. This is the smallest that I could get it before. It starts looking squished and distorted because of the way when the layers are being laid down, you can get some like squishing or like a slot look instead of a circle. So this is all perimeter solid. There's no infill because the perimeter is the infill if that makes sense. Like the walls just touch, they just close themselves. So that's why it's like really actually strong. If you try to... Yeah, it's not gonna work. Yeah, so it's incredible that it's something that looks pretty fragile. It's not. It's actually pretty strong. So that's cool. Just the nature of the structure and the lens. And you can make it even stronger with PET-G. That ain't a cool snap. Right, so with PET-G we printed it at 240 seat on that nozzle and then the bed is just whatever 50, 60 seat for PLA 220. But your mileage will vary depending on your nozzle and all that stuff, but just throwing that out there. Cool, anything about the threads? They just print as is. We need to do anything special for the threads in terms of slide settings. They just print as is. Yeah, no support settings, so you should be good. Even with the cap, you can kind of see here that there is just enough room to make it to each side without droops just a little bit. Not enough to need support material for that. Yeah, I know what they have there, cool. All right, and if we jump into the CAD for this, you can see... Actually, real quick, there's one thing in Cura. If you're not finding that setting, you need to turn that setting on. So there's a little gear. You could also search, you see that search box right there? You could always search for a setting if you don't know, like comb, comb. There you go. There you go, and there's that setting that we're talking about, not on outer surface. You type in retract, whatever, whatever. And they show up. Also, the little gray bar where it says like walls, if you click on, if you hover over that and you get that little hamburger icon, clicking that will give you the preferences and then just shoot your right to all the available things. And you'll notice that there's a check all button. So if you want to turn everything on, you can turn everything on. Or you could just be selective like we are and just turn the ones on that you want to poke at. Yeah, they're using these as filters so you don't have to see every single setting. Exactly. It could be daunting. It could be daunting. Look at how the user is daunting. But get comfortable with it and turn on that setting and play around with it and see if that helps you out. Cool. So that is Cura for you to download and supports a lot of printers. I'm sure there's inside of like Prusa Slice or something. There's got to be a way to do the, for your combing mode. So it's only trying to comb on the inside. I did try off and that didn't look good either. It was messing with the tolerances because of the way that it retracts and leaves some material behind and that you can't stick your bottle through. Anything on the, I'm still on your screen, Peter. I can see what you're seeing. Yep, I'm just looking at the, checking the stuff. Hey people. All right. And jumping over to Fusion, you can see the way that this file is constructed. Still trying to learn how to. Use your trackpad. Trackpad inside of Fusion. There you go. So you can see that the, here's the diameter, it's controlling that. And if we jump into that, you can see, let's see, how do I, no, no. How do I, there you go, rotate. I'm not using a mouse because it hurts my hand. And then the, I usually use a Wacom, but that's like, it will take up the whole freaking desk. Yeah, so you can see here, you just adjust this diameter here and everything else will grow with it. And these outer ones is what's actually building out of the top and the screws for it. So once you edit that, everything else will edit. And the only thing you have to adjust, like I said before was the threading, just because of the thread count will change with the thickness. There we go. Cool. Patterns are done in a circular pattern, rectangular pattern, rather. Both actually rectangular and circular. So I tried out, I think was it last week or two weeks ago? I wouldn't even mention it. Super excited about the pattern generation or pattern, what do they call it? I wouldn't even mention it. Oh, it's not even in my thing anymore. Oh, here it is. Gimetric pattern. Look how cool that looks. Does not work on cylinders. So if you were, like after your trial expires and you didn't use it on it and you're like, oh, I need to spend $500 a month to use a pattern generation tool that doesn't work on cylinders, I just saved you, that's fine. So the way this is being made is manually with, oh my God, I feel like it, there you go. No, it's just being able to navigate with a track pad. Where are my holes, anywhere they want? There you go. So it's just one hole that is repeating vertically and then you take that pattern and then you patternize it again, going all the way around as a circular pattern. And again, you can adjust these based on, you know, the height is really what you're gonna want to adjust this for, otherwise it should work. Oh, it's big. So if you're shorter than what it is, you can pick a smaller amount for the quantity here so you don't have as much crashing into it. And yeah, it's as editable as, you know, I can make it without having to make it so complicated. But yeah. That's great, what's the thickness of this? It should be like 1.5, I believe. That's a good one. 1.5, yeah. Like we were saying before, it's still super strong because I guess the way the geometry is. Yeah, it's all in fill. All in fill. Cool. And yeah, there you go. The only thing, let's see, for like tolerance between... What, the threads? The threads, yeah, it's like 0.2. So anytime you're doing threads. 0.2, 0.3, great. Yep, depending on... I'll tell you when it. I'll tell you when it, yeah. Yeah. That's pretty much it. It's super simple. After it's all done, of course. Yeah, it took a lot of iterations on all the things. Yeah. Cool. And of course, again, you can get all the files on the Learn page. Cool. Yeah, jump into the comments. We've got some slice settings here from Cheap. Yeah, Chip, yeah, he's great. Chuck Hylobeck, he's got a great YouTube channel to check him out for all things Cura. A lot of slicing. Yeah, lots of great printing quality tips. We try to share his videos when we can. So you're just looking at the comments. Yeah, that would be cool with a little LED light. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, we wanted to do something really simple that didn't require any electronics. I think that was like the thing, one of the goals that BT thought about. Yeah, believe me, I was wanting to put like one of the little small coin cell and a UV LED like on the top. So it's eliminating down into it. But we'll save that for a year or two from now. When we revisit this project sense, that seems to be how the theme goes. Yeah, I don't think we've used it to fill up the dark powder before. Yeah. We do have some pigments in the shop, but they're not. They're fluorescent. They're fluorescent, but they're not glow-in-the-dark. I think that's what the whole point of this project was to fill that gap. Yeah, we're gonna make some non-battery, LED-powered accessories like glow-in-the-dark. Yeah. Cool, and that's this week's project. Super simple, little wearable, completely customizable, bunch of uses in terms of accessorizing, anything you want to glow-in-the-dark. It's gonna go. Yeah. All right, let's go ahead. This week's project, we are ready to jump into, what are we prototyping? Yeah, let's go ahead and see what we're prototyping. Do we do rocket shoes first? Yeah. All right, so PT saw this really cool video by Andrew Sink, who was- Shout out to Andrew Sink. He brought this to our attention. Yeah, so there's- Not really, like, anyway. He made a great, fantastic review video where he got himself a pair of these Nike acronym blazer. I don't know the name. Sorry, guys. So they're basically having the heels where you can accessorize them with three printed accessories on them. So they have these little attachments on the heel that you can just add like these screws that'll let you attach. They have a bunch of, like, heels that you can try out. Of course, we went in and designed our own so we can attach a circuit playground on the back here. So does that have the motion activation on there? See if I can hit it without hitting the table there. So when you stomp, it'll do a little pew, a little rocket burst, and then like some little thrusters action going on there. So it's all attached with the quarter 20, the little camera threads that we have in the back here. So it attaches onto this whole heel. And then Nike includes these little screws that attach to that. So we wanted to have these completely editable and we added these thumb screws on there instead. So thumb screws make it super easy to take these off or change them out. Of course, you can have, like, custom colors for them to accessorize your shoes with. And we have enough room to, you know, attach a variety of like little circuit boards onto the back here. I think it's an easier way to have it, like the board attached than how we were doing the LED strips on the sides there. Definitely a lot more easier than having, you know, it bend and then break and then gluing things to your shoe. You're literally just screwing them on. So it's definitely a neat way and a different mindset of when we were first seeing like three printed shoes. Yeah, the whole shoe was in print. Yeah, instead of having an entire shoe that's three printed, just have it to where you have access to attach three printed accessories to it with these little screws, these inserts that they're having on here. And these are just standard M3 screws. Yeah, that's great. We love M3. Mm-hmm. So yeah. Take. Ah, metric. Not a 440 screw. No, no, no. So yeah, it's the super simple little animation here. And it even has, it even has fall detect. So if you fall down. So the circuit playground has a built-in little speaker. It has an accelerometer so you can sense when it's being shook, when it's being turned around and everything. Yeah, not that it's loud enough to alert anyone. This is a carbon, polycarbonate case injection molded for Adafruit. It's got the Adafruit logo. You can purchase this. It's a case that has built-in buttons and stuff. So you can use the buttons on here if you want. Or the switch. Oh yeah, the switch actually does something. Isn't that cool? Oh, it changes the color, yeah. It kind of does this little pattern. 10 NeoPixel LEDs are on the circuit playground. Micro USB, circuit python. Also made code and Arduino. But yeah, this case is great. It was designed by Mike Adol and it has a built-in insert for a quarter 20 tripod screw. So that's how we got it in there. So yeah, really cool construction. If you want to take a look, you can purchase these shoes from the dark side initiative or if you just search for Nike acronym, the laser low cut, you can search for different distributors who have purchased them. They're stocking them and they're selling them. They're sold out if you go to Nike.com and I guess there are a bunch of people who are buying them. You can only get one from this place. We got nine and a halfs, which are, I think, in freedom units. Yes. And they have different colors and stuff. We got this color, which is called the low black, I guess. But they have other colors here. It's just a really cool purple one. I probably won't be able to find it now, sorry. There it is. This is kind of the one that Andrew Sink showed off. You can see that more people are maybe less people. I don't know, 14s and I think you got a size 12. Just be aware that some of the models that they offer for free to download, some of them might not fit all the shoe sizes. So you got to be very kind of, I don't know, test them out. So there's a lot of fun designs. We tried out, well, obviously we were inspired by the Rocket Booster one right here, which is really cool. This one's by Burke, who modeled this. And every one of these models are designed by a different designer, and some of them made different sizes shoes. Some people have a left shoe in a right shoe. There's all over the place, so that's kind of neat. But if you're trying to reference a model, pick one of these, I guess. Or obviously, when it comes out, I'm gonna say ours is definitely way better than the way that they tried to make these. Of course- It's great design, it looks great. Like aesthetically it looks cool. For injection molding, that's how you make it. But for 3D printing, you don't have to make it so freaking thick that this does not bend with your foot. Like it was so uncomfortable when I tried these on and I had to print this with breakaway filament because again, these were designed for like an SLA printer. So this would, super difficult to print. Here is my tape on it, a lot more simpler. Prints in like four hours. I think this took like two days to print. And yeah, it's still strong with, it's like two millimeters thick. What's still offering flexibility with your shoe because when you walk, you know, your foot bends. So definitely have, having something that is nice and bendable while being strong and not so thick is definitely a plus. And then having your attachment points on there for not just like silly things like the rocket boost, but like, you know, other boards that can do like step counting or like geo, you know, a bunch of different temperature, whatever air quality stuff. Definitely a nice place to have a, as a wearable, right on your shoe instead of like carrying it on your person. And yeah, we will release this next week. Yay, very cool. And now that's what we're about to be typing. Some rocket shoes. Pew, pew. I don't know if you can hear the pew, pew. Should be, my turn. Yeah, it's kind of a bit of buzzer. It's not really speaker. Yeah, oh, and a cool little, again with the twisty tie there. So that twisty tie threads here. So completely modular, removable. So we'll take a look at the way that all of this is built next week. Yeah, I like your clips are fun. Yeah, yeah, I add an aspect to it. Yeah, yeah, I like it because it's, this is modular, you can take this apart and nothing is permanent. So if, you know, security is like, hey, you can't have that. You can take off this entire thing and you're good. All right, that's cool. Yeah, we'll chat more about it. First look. Super cool. Yeah, very cool to see three printed accessories for shoes. Yeah, I like how like the way that's designed for having the little button on here. It has an extra way to hold on to it. So cool. And that's what I'm using for the battery placement on that. Of course, having like these Frankenstein looking thumb screws. Definitely want to just try to stock these because they couldn't find, they were kind of hard to find on Amazon. All right, cool. And I think you have some of the prototype too. Yeah, sure, let's do it. So I got inspired to make a little prop from the Sonic the Hedgehog movie. This is supposed to be the Chaos Emerald. So it's two pieces, it's three printed in translucent white filament. And what's cool is, once you hold that, you're gonna go ahead and connect to it with the Blue Fruit Connect app. So we got the Blue Fruit Connect hidden inside there. There's no visible screws or anything. So I'm really happy how that's working. I'll go ahead and turn it on. So here it is doing a rainbow. And you can kind of see like, it's really bright and the color shines through really nicely. Let's see if we can get a look at it on the overhead. Really, really good PLA for diffusing. You see like, where is the light source? Like, it's gotta be in here somewhere. Where are the screws? That's just a little nick there, I don't worry about that. But yeah, this is a 12-sided polygons. It's been shelled out. I'm gonna go ahead and open it now. Reveal that it's a snap fit dealie. So we got a snap fit thing going on. And in the inside there, you can see it's a bracket that has four screws on the sides here. And then some more screws to house the circuit playground holder. So you do gotta use some screws, but the main two halves snap fit. So you have these little snap fit grabbers on the edges and you have these nubs here. But this material is fantastic for diffusion. And I can change colors here, maybe make it red, because it really shows, and then maybe drop the brightness down a little bit. It's already kind of got a good look at it. But yeah, really, really cool. Nice hat. Yeah, this filament is a PLA, it's translucent. It's called Ivory White, because it's not quite white. Yes, that is exactly the screenshot that no way used. That's exactly it, yeah, so for the model. It's fairly large, I'm gonna try to scale it down a bit, so that it can print on a smaller printer. Maybe as big as the CPS. Yeah, that's why we're laughing, that is the exact screen. That's the screenshot that we're using. Of Dr. Robotnik, yeah. Shoot shout out to Yanni for posting that right there. That's literally the screenshot of the Chaos Emerald. Let me make it green now. Can you tell that the child here? Yeah, our kiddo is just like, He loves Sonic, he loves this, he's so happy about it, so I made him a special version of it. But yeah, I'm hoping to make this a learn guide as well, because it's so simple and very, Nice little blowy. Fun, yeah, so Chaos Emerald is what I'm prototyping. I'll make a different size with folks to print a small version, but I think that's about the size it is in the movie. Let me be a little bit bigger. But yeah, it's all side and diamond. It looks like about the same size, we look at the hand, the scale, and now here it is off, that's off. Well, this off is like, get it? It's like, color all the way down. Ah, it's all bright. I like how it opens, if you just kind of just break it open there. It's like some sort of space thing, right? Some sort of thing. Oh, the battery is hidden behind here. But look, you can't even see anything there. It's so good at like, the way the light shoots out and it bounces back out here is really nice. A lot of the translucent filament, that's like purely translucent, will have hot spots and will not look as good as this. So if you are wanting to get something so nicely diffused and you don't want to sand, you don't want to add like, diffuser material in here or on your LEDs, this material is like magic, dude. Like it's really nice for diffusing neopixels. And when you have spacing, that spacing around it is what gives it that effect. Like it really makes it nice and glowy. See if we can do like pink, purple. Can you tell I'm like really excited about this thing? I made a little stand for it, so you can put it in the background, and actually stand it up, right? And then let's do a animation here. All right, I've had my fun. And that's what we're prototyping. Glowy things. All right. See, all right, let's go ahead and jump into this week's community makes. Every Tuesday, we three print something from the community. This week is a very fun dino penjar by JVU. JVU posted this up on Colts3D. I think it's like a dollar or two to download. We'll take a look at the site. That was pretty fun. Pretty sure it was free. Oh, sorry. Very, very cool. MatterHackers PLA Quantum Filament. This is like week three of Quantum Filaments. We love this stuff, because it's such a fantastic material for these type of parts. They look really cool. Yeah, so with the scale texture on there, you can kind of see how the color, you can see it like underneath the scale, so cool on some parts. And yeah, nice little tool holder. It's supposed to be a penjar is what it's listed at, but... Is it coming one size? That's all? I think you can just scale it if you need. Definitely got some reptar feels from Rugrats on here. Like the face definitely looks like him. And yeah, I like the way that it counterbalances with the tail here, so you can have something on this side and then talking about, actually this side, talking about all over. I can scale it up. But yeah, nice little, excellent sculpting on like the eyes and all that, the teeth. Did a good job on that. Great, used to be a Quantum Filament from Matterhackers. Very good stuff. So it's on Coles 3D. It is a dollar fit. It is a dollar fit. I knew it was a dollar or something. I tried to research my stuff. Don't remember paying for this. Hmm, don't tell them that. This is JVU's print. It looks like they used Marble Filament or something. Looks really cool in that as well. Kind of like that stone. But yeah, fun dinosaur pen holder for your desk. So shout out to JVU for posting that up. Really nice. All sorts of fun designs as well. Yeah, looks great with markers in the mouth. Yeah, I'm sure the, I haven't showed this to the baby yet and he's gonna love it. Yeah, he's gonna love baby. He's gonna love dinos. It's the dino phase. Shout out to Yanni for all the gifts. He's doing it up. Oh, they got their own. Hey, is that the new one? Right? Yeah, but they have like an even newer one. It might be from Sonic Colors. Yanni, where's that from? Let us know. Very cool. Yeah, I'm excited for the movie. I re-watched it and that's why I was like, dude, did a good job on it. It's fun, it's fun with the kids. Sonic Mania. Okay. Yeah, I gotta get Gavin to watch that. Cool. Sorry, searching my notes. That's this week's time of Tuesday. We have some community makes now that we're brought to our attention. So let's run through those real quick. First up, we have a prop from a video game. Some sort of video game called Halo. This is cool. Fingerbrush user, I steal groceries. Posted their make of the hollow of the... Come on, man, I can't do words today. The Halo energy sword with some LEDs. Looks cool. All translucent, looks really cool. Fellow says this was very fun project to make. First big print, we were done. Overall happy with how it came out. Use some LED lights that plug into the wall and you're now at the bottom of the sword. It's gonna be hanging on their wall. So that's really cool. Cool, Halo energy sword. Purchase it in multiple pieces. Glue them together, add some LEDs. Fun time. Okay, next up we have another one here. Another prop, sword. No LEDs in this one, but still really, really cool. From Final Fantasy, this is called the gunblade. Noetaveno posted this up. Fingerbrush user, Noetaveno posted their gunblade. Look at this, excellent print quality and the speeders look real quick. Look at the handle. I'm not sure if the handle is translucent. I think it is, and that's like the infill shining through. Very cool technique to have the infill be the texture. Very, very cool for the handle there. And you got a rotating barrel and it prints in two or three pieces. Looks like three pieces, right? And there's that nice engraving in there, so very, very cool. Sorry, I got a brilliant brewing up. Why don't we have hexagonal infill anymore in freaking cura? It looks so cool, look at that. The best hexagons, right? What the heck happened with that? Maybe there's an extra unplugging. So anyway, huge shout out to Noetaveno for posting that up. Hey, that's my new tube. All right, two more here to go. This one was posted up on Prusa printers. Hi, Joe. Hello. Thanks for visiting. I'm okay with that, Joe. This is a snap fit case for the QT Pi, whether it's an RP2040 or a ESP32S2 QT Pi's fit in there, snap fit. You can add some electronics to it. More breakouts using the top and bottom covers because they have slots and rails and all that good stuff. So shout out to Nonprofit for posting up their make of the QT Pi snap fit case. Turned out great. Cool. And then one more to go, folks. This is also on Prusa printers. This was posted up by Lytus on Prusa printers. Fits perfectly and really easy with a Raspberry Pi 3B Plus. This is a little 3D printed case for a Pi TFT and a stand. You can have an all-in-one octoprint rig with this case and little stand. Lots of folks like doing octoprint rigs. We love octoprint rigs. And it's cool to have a built-in screen that works with it. Yeah, that's really cool. I know I need to set that up. It's so annoying having to run into the computer. Right. And load up the browser and all this. You can avoid all that. So a lot of folks, unless it happens on the screen as well, where the browser just becomes inactive and you like reload because it doesn't show. Yeah, I think there's been a lot of work to some other octoprint bubble plug-ins. I haven't used them in a while, but we might be revisiting that at some point. That'd be really cool. Shout out to the lights as we're posting that up. Yeah, shout out to everybody for posting up their makes. Really appreciate folks posting makes. I know it's a little bit of a thing. But that's this week's community makes. Shout out to everybody again. We appreciate folks posting up makes on different sites as well. Awesome. All right, that's pretty much over the show, folks. Don't forget, tonight we are hosting show and tell. So we invite you to come on. Starts at 7.30 PM Eastern time. Just hang out in the Discord server and we'll drop a link when the time comes. Like maybe five minutes before 7.30. And yeah, you can up to 10 people can come in and say what's up. Yeah, retro gear, new tag, sketches, all that's fair game. Tour of your workshop, everything is game. Yeah, it's fun. And then later on, right after that, immediately after is Asken Engineer. Yeah, back to back. Take a look at all the cool new products coming out. News in the maker community and more every single week. You can ask your questions at the end and the coupon code as well. Don't forget the coupon code, yeah. All right, tomorrow is Thursday. So we can tune in with John Park and his workshop every Thursday at 4 PM Eastern time. Awesome project, Bruin. I need to update this on Fridays. It's Steve Dives with Scott, but he will be out for the couple of weeks. So in the meantime, we're gonna have Tim, foamy guy coming in, filling a spot on Sundays. We have from the desk of Lady Aida on most Sundays. This one, I think we skipped this week and we'll resume in the following weeks. Circuit Python meetings on Mondays, Tuesdays, is JP's product pick of the week. Check him out for up to 50% off items every Tuesday at 4 PM Eastern time or 1 PM Pacific time, awesome. And we do the show every Wednesday at 11 AM. We try to keep it under an hour. And shout out to Yanni Chaos Emerald. Yeah, for folks that wanna know what is a Chaos Emerald and what's its power and what's its history. No, it's a spoiler to the movie. Don't read it. No, it's not. You wanna know the background of it. Why is it an Emerald? All right, that's gonna be it for this show. Yeah, thanks everybody for coming in and tuning in live with us. Good luck with all your maker endeavors. But until then, make sure to make a great day. Yay. See you later tonight. Bye folks.
