3DPrinting Archives - Page 120 of 134 - Perfect 3D Printing Filament

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!

The Adafruit Learning System has dozens of great tools to get you well on your way to creating incredible works of engineering, interactive art, and design with your 3D printer! If you’ve made a cool project that combines 3D printing and electronics, be sure to let us know, and we’ll feature it here!

NeoTrellis Color Match Game Stand #3DThursday #3DPrinting

PictorSomni shares:

A cute little stand for the NeoTrellis Color Match Game.

It is way better if you use it as a keyboard (like i do) at an angle.
You’ll need to glue the feet in the 2 holes at the bottom of the the stand.

Linear Servo Actuators

This video shows how to assemble and then run these DIY linear servo actuators (pusher style). Two sizes have been designed and made available for any project you have that needs a pusher style linear actuator.

An off the shelf version can cost around $70, while these 3D printed versions are much lower cost. Links to the STL files, part lists and affiliate links can be found below.

Hallowing Cyclops Skull

via Littlefiver on Thingiverse

Just in time for Halloween!

Anyways, using the Adafruit “Lens” cover I had printed, I remix the cyclops skull from I-see-3D to be glued on top with the lens attached. There is also a cut out for the light sensor. I painted this PLA print with acrylic paint (a first for me), and sealed it.

Happy Halloween.

Note: I am also using the Battery Case by DoctorWhich. Not sure why, but the lens doesn’t fit the “Lens” cover when using the battery case. (I didn’t try it with the Adafruit back) That is why I made the skull to fit the lens.

Duke Students Create Chocolate Drone #drone #droneday

Will take one dark chocolate, 85%+ cocoa, thank you! From The Chronicle:

The idea of an edible drone initially came up a year ago while Thakkar was having coffee with a friend. Whenever he had time, he said he would make it happen. Thakkar mentioned the idea in passing to his friends Lindner and Succop.

“Knowing Anuj is the kind of guy that relentlessly pursues an idea, no matter how far-fetched it seems, until it’s accomplished, I didn’t even question him,” Succop wrote.

While the three students were at Duke over the summer, they became more and more motivated to start prototyping an edible drone. They attempted with three other foods before deciding on chocolate. They explained that cheese was too ugly and oily, jell-o was too heavy and bread was too difficult to mold. However, chocolate was moldable, light and appealing.

The team initially tried to construct the drone using a 3D-printed negative mold, which involves pouring melted chocolate into the mold, Lindner said. However, they ran into issues when trying to remove the plastic mold because the chocolate kept breaking.

Instead, the team used a positive 3D-printed mold, where they poured the chocolate around the mold and let it solidify. They then removed the plastic, leaving a chocolate shell. Lindner explained that they modified a drone by removing as much of the shell as they could and replacing it with chocolate, while leaving the electronics.

Welcome to drone day on the Adafruit blog. Every Monday we deliver the latest news, products and more from the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), quadcopter and drone communities. Drones can be used for video & photography (dronies), civil applications, policing, farming, firefighting, military and non-military security work, such as surveillance of pipelines. Previous posts can be found via the #drone tag and our drone / UAV categories.

Pumpkin Spider Robot

via rhattie on Thingiverse

A quick and dirty edit of MegaWillBot’s spider pumpkin to allow for the installation of LED lighting. The pumpkin section of the head has also been separated to allow for printing in a separate material.

Note that this is at 150% scale! You’ll need to scale the remaining parts from the original design to match this. This will also affect the tolerances of the ball joints, so if you don’t plan on glueing them like I did, you’ll want to adjust your scaling or XY offset on the legs to compensate. Also, as you might expect, all the wires inside make it more or less impossible to actually fold this thing up, so treat it as more of a display item than a toy.

Articulated phage model #3DThursday #3DPrinting

Shared by MartinKJHB on Thingiverse:

This is a stylised articulated model of a generic bacteriophage. I took some liberties to make it easier to print and assemble, so it is not meant to be a totally accurate molecular representation of any particular structure.
No support material is needed except for the tail stalk, and this is already included in the stalk_supp file; just remove it after printing. There is also a version without support if you prefer.
