For Xbox gamers who miss the vibe of the arcade, here is an arcade button adapter design from BilGor on Thingiverse:

My first design from scratch and my first posting here

For building your own arcade rig out of an Xbox 360 joystick .
I did not want to buy D/A convertors and change the trigger to an on / off button . I wanted to keep the range of the trigger button.
This arcade style button has about 9mm travel and uses the full range of the trigger function , and the original parts from the joystick. (spring and potentiometer)

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!

Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!

Here’s a fun NASA print from M Boyer on Prusa Printers:

NASA’s iconic worm logo on an angled plaque. Approx 170 mm (6.75″) long.

This is a fantastic modular calculator print from Davide on Prusa Printers:

This is a remix of the José Campos project, Mechanical calculator (modular design).

I made some cosmetic changes, and I completely replaced some gears, added springs, to improve the functioning. Pay attention to the alignment of the parts.

Reported below the explanation from his project:

This is a design based on the famous “Pascaline”, which was invented by Pascal in 1642.

Here you will find a detailed explanation as to how it works:

The design was simplified and adapted to FDM. One main adaptation is the modular design. With it you may build modules to increase the size of your calculator and thus enable larger operations. As the mechanism is asymmetrical, in order to perform the “carry operation”, the modules need to be build in a A-B-A-B… fashion.

Tomalinski shared this project on Thingiverse!

Hint:
The best results can be obtained by supporting the gauge from behind with the flat hand and slowly pushing against the surface to be copied.
In order to transfer the copied surface safely, you only have to press the top and bottom of the housing to prevent the ‘discs’ from moving.
