CircuitPython based capacitive touch keyboard string insertion #CircuitPython @flaviofdev

Flavio Fernandes (@flaviofdev) used CircuitPython with the touch and hid libraries on an Adafruit Neo Trinkey board to get keyboard typing of static strings based on capacitive touch.

See more on Flavio’s GitHub page for the project.

Grabbers #3Dprinting #3DThursday

Grabbers by cooasty Thingiverse

cooasty shared this project on Thingiverse!

A remix of wonderful builds by SirRob. Scaled and added spring loaded button.

Drill HD pivot pin units with a # 50 index bit for a nice firm hole. Requires careful use of knife to break loose components. Install filament for pin. Heat pin ends to form a button. Best to use a soldering iron or equal for the side close to the grabber.

LD uses a ball point spring cut down. HD uses a full spring. Install spring, glue button, button reinforcement, then position clip and glue. Clip is applied to the bottom to help hold the spring and rod in place.

Spiral dice tower box #3DPrinting #3DThursday

Spiral dice tower box by aclugston519 Thingiverse

aclugston519 shared this project on Thingiverse!

Update: 07/02/2021
Added a few variants on the base including a wall to stop the dice rolling under the stairs and a longer (20mm) version of the base so that there’s a bit more room inside the box.

Update: 27/01/2021
I’ve uploaded an STL and STP file of a blank lid incase anyone wants to get creative and add their own patterns.

So this is my latest 3D printed dice box/ tower design. The box itself is 110x120x30mm so relatively compact but plenty big enough to fit the dice tower mechanism and a full set off dice (maybe even a miniature if the base isn’t bigger than 25mm square). The dice tower itself stands at 100mm tall and is made up of 20 individual step pieces that rotate around a centre spindle. The design is purely 3D printed with no need to glue any components together (although some of the retaining pins would benefit from a bit of glue). The push-fit tolerances are all a little tight, so it took some sanding to get everything sliding and spinning correctly.

Camera Display Stand #3DPrinting #3DThursday

MileHiMaker shares:

This thing is a display stand for holding cameras equipped with a tripod screw. Specifically designed to hold and coordinate with a Yashica-C, a twin lens reflex film camera made in the 1960’s.

Use a 1/2-inch long machine screw with 1/4-20 thread and rounded head to attach stand to camera body.
