CLUE Rock, Paper, Scissors Game using Bluetooth

This project features three versions of a rock, paper, scissors game in CircuitPython. The first is a very simple, single-player text game showing the basic logic of the game. The second is a two-player game using Bluetooth Low Energy advertising to exchange the players’ choices. The third is a multi-player game building on the foundation of the second version, adding displayio graphics and sound. It has been tested with six players and potentially can work with far more.

How to 3D Print Some of the Smithsonian’s Artifacts at Home #3DPrinting #History

Iiunacv6cgn8cpdn50ft

You can now experience a part of the Smithsonian collection from anywhere with just a 3D printer. I could see this being a great tool for teachers!

Via lifehacker:

The Smithsonian’s network of museums offer 3D renderings of some of its collection, and more importantly, plans so you can 3D print some of those items at home using your own 3D printer.

Artifacts available for printing range from things like fossils to a replica of Abraham Lincoln’s head.

#3DPrint your own Printmaking Press with the Open Press Project

Header04

We are ? with the Open Press Project!

Using an iterative process, I built 10 prototypes, printed more than 100 proofs, and used more than a kilometer of filament. The final result is a portable printing press that costs only 5€ of material and can be printed by everyone with access to a 3D-printer. The plans of the »Open Press Project« are completely free to use in order to give access to printmaking to as many people as possible.
