Season 2 of Stuff The British Stole is off to a great start with “Losing Your Marbles”, where host Marc Fennell takes listeners through the story of how the Parthenon Marbles ended up in the British Museum.
There’s been a centuries-long campaign to get them back to their homeland. Now, a team of Greek-Australians have decided that the time for diplomacy is over and a new tactic is required.

Here is a remix of the awesome Discovery communicator kit designed by mooslug. I love how the model is accurate so I wanted to make it as a static prop without electronics. I solidified the body and made the flip-up hinge mechanism printable and no screws are needed. The lid was split up in layers so it can be printed flat without having unsightly under-sides from using supports. There are tiny little pegs that can be used to align the lid’s layers–use a tweezer to insert them. The original unsplit lid is there too. I added pegs and notches to help align the face panels and trimmings. I printed the back cover upright.

Printing with different materials broadens the functionality of 3D printing. Now machines are taking over the search for new materials.
Via MIT:
To cut down on the time it takes to discover these new materials, researchers at MIT have developed a data-driven process that uses machine learning to optimize new 3D printing materials with multiple characteristics, like toughness and compression strength.
By streamlining materials development, the system lowers costs and lessens the environmental impact by reducing the amount of chemical waste. The machine learning algorithm could also spur innovation by suggesting unique chemical formulations that human intuition might miss.

Jeff Geerling takes a look all the way through the ne w Pi Zero 2 W with an x-ray
Today, Raspberry Pi released their new Zero 2 W, and it includes a new Raspberry Pi-branded chip, labeled RP3A0-AU.
I was able to get early access to the Zero 2, and I have a full review of the device on my YouTube channel, but I wanted to share more of the X-ray images I took of the device to reveal its inner workings, and because I just think they look cool. Also, I paid a bit of money to get these pictures, so might as well share!

In this lab, you will establish UART based communication channels between the Pi 4 and the HiFive 1 boards.
Part 0: Setup the UART connections (for TAs)
In this part, we will connect the HiFive1 and the Raspberry Pi 4 boards via two UART channels.(Note that this step will be performed by the TAs.)
The Pi 4 has 4 UARTs and we will use two of them (uart2 and uart3). Add the following line at the end of the /boot/config.txt file to enable uart2 and uart3.
dtoverlay=uart2,115200 dtoverlay=uart3,115200
After rebooting the system, /dev/ttyAMA1 and /dev/ttyAMA2 will be created.

By default, Raspberry Pi OS uses screen blanking to hide the screen after a certain amount of time has passed. This method, simply put, stops video from being output by the Pi’s graphics processor.
If you prefer that your display remains on but still want the contents of the display hidden, you can use a screensaver.
A screensaver was originally designed to prevent burn-in from occurring on a CRT monitor by constantly changing what is being displayed. If you have ever looked into OLED displays, you will be familiar with burn-in as they face a similar issue.

“Food Computer” may be a bit misleading as a description for this project. The machine is less like a computing machine made from tasty snacks, and more like a fully-automated plant growth station. Here’s more from Raspberry Pi Blog:
“It is a fully automated growth chamber that can monitor over a dozen atmospheric and root zone variables and post them to an online dashboard for remote viewing,” Chris Regini tells us. He’s supervising both Noahs in this project. “In addition to collecting data, it is capable of adjusting fan speeds based on air temperature and humidity, dosing hydroponic reservoirs with pH adjustment and nutrient solutions via peristaltic pumps, dosing soil with water based on moisture sensor readings, adjusting light spectra and photoperiods, and capturing real-time and time-lapsed footage using a [Raspberry Pi] Camera Module NoIR in both daylight and night-time growth periods.”

Who doesn’t want a Star Wars cabinet game? We could spend all day playing, and our housemates could just stand behind us saying “Stay on target! Stay on target!” But as time goes on, working versions of these cabinets are harder and harder to find. So make James Milroy just made one, with a little help from a Raspberry Pi. Here’s more from the Raspberry Pi Blog:
“My project was to build a replica, or as close as I could reasonably manage, of the Atari Star Wars arcade cabinet,” James Milroy tells [MagPi]. “I really wanted to build a cockpit as that’s what I played on in the eighties, but sadly I didn’t have the room to house it, so the compromise was to build a stand-up cabinet instead…. Initially, I had toyed with sourcing an original cabinet and restoring it, but soon gave up on that idea after finding it nigh on impossible to source a cabinet here in the UK,” James explains. “Almost all cabinets for sale were located in the USA, so they were out of the question due to the high cost of shipping. Atari only made just over 12,500 cabinets worldwide, so their rarity meant that they commanded top dollar, effectively putting them out of my price range. It was at this point that I decided that if it was going to happen, then I would have to make it myself.”

Wonderful interview with educator Joe Arday from the Raspberry Pi Foundation.
What barriers or support did you encounter in your teaching career? Did you have role models when you went into teaching?
Not really — I had to seek them out. In my environment, there are very few Black teachers, and I was often the only Black Computer Science teacher. A parent once said to me, “I hope you’re not planning to leave, because my son needs a role model in Computer Science.” And I understood exactly what she meant by that, but I’m not even a role model, I’m just someone who’s contributing to society the best way I can. I just want to pave the way for the next generation, including my children.

From Whatever6 on Thingiverse:
Scaled all finger parts at 120% as everyone who printed the original recommended it. The original is for pretty small hands and do not even fit without a glove. I have glove size 9 (L) and at 120% scale they fit quite good with a glove under it.
I improved most of the files, like all the tips, as the original had pretty weird fingertips. Furthermore I fixed all files that were faulty (there were some warning messages in Cura).
The middle finger knuckle was missing so I copied the index knuckle and scaled it a bit more.

I wanted to make a TNG VISOR prop with an easy-to-print one-piece grill instead of installing a lot of rods. This has a flexible grill that prints flat and fits nicely in grooves to secure it. This makes painting easy but also lets you print in color if you want. I used silk PLA for the metal parts which came out shiny but paint is probably better looking.
There are 2 versions of the grill: grill 1 is modeled after the jagged ‘banana clip’ style in season 1, grill 2 is the full tooth style most commonly seen. To make sure it fits, the rounder side of the grill faces the top. Use color swap function to use black and gold for grill 1 and the grill 2 with the screens.

Awesome print for those looking to maintain the timeline. From RyanTheMast on Thingiverse:
Why I am making this: Loved this show it developed great characters, fun world building, and especially interesting props. This prop caught my eye, and I am working on machining one out of brass. I thought while I work on my “hero” versions, I thought I would share my files and research to this point. This is based off of a lot of research of the Tempad from what has been seen on and off screen.

Upload of a real rough mesh split of an Oni Skull similar to the one seen in Trivium’s songs. Not the exact same, but similar. Split up the prints to make it easier to print, less overhands and simpler. Send me a DM if you want the full skull, but this was what I printed.
