I needed to practice with Autodesk Inventor, so I designed this. It uses a 90mm (120mm diagonal from screw hole to screw hole) (25mm thick) fan. I used a 11.5 x 19mm switch. For the power connector, I just cut the barrel jack off a cord I didn’t need. The filter is a 10mm thick carbon filter.

In this model I have added some features to the front to hold the bottom of the filter in place. They should print okay, but I have tested it. For the first one I did, I just used hot glue. I had issues with the fan screw holes lining up, and had to drill them out some. I believe I have now fixed that in this model.

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!

This is a case I modeled loosely after the style of the electronics case of a Prusa i3 model printer. The problem I was trying to solve had to do with needing to place a fan on the Pi for use inside my printer enclosure.

You will need to pick a bottom and a top to print. The differences in the bottoms have to do with how the case will mount. The different top versions have more to do with how the case is ventilated. The FAN mount top includes a recess to accept a 30x30x8mm standard Pi fan. There is also a passive ventilated top, and a top with no ventilation as well.

Valentine’s Day Spining Hearts Of Love

Here is a print in place Valentine’s Day plentora of hearts. The center section is able to spin in place and gives it a bit more appeal.

Can be printed in two colors or all together as shown. I included all the STl files for either a single print or dual colors with the center hub as a different color.

Thanks for checking it out and Happy Valentine’s Day!

A-Z

Forgive the terrible video- was hard to hold it and spin the center at the same time.

I downloaded the Lego skeleton unicorn, I scaled it down, went through and redesigned the pegs and holes and meshed the horse halves to repair the problems. Now there is a skeletal horse to scale that you can glue together. See pictures for how I glued mine together to ensure it fits. Enjoy!

I already own some real nixie clocks and so want to have a lixie looking and acting as similar as possible like the nixies.
So, based on Folkers lixie digit, I created digit positions for colons and used an ESP8266 NodeMCU for control to have a webinterface, can retrieve the time over NTP (no separate RTC-module necessary) and to be able to realize a smooth digit change.
Additionally I created connectors to connect the digits and endpieces to let the sides look better.
