In this I Like to Make Stuff video, Bob challenges all of us with 3D printers to think about what fixes and improvements we could make to the interior of our cars. It’s a fun thing to think about.
In Bob’s case, he had a seat adjustment handle that was missing and an out-of-date cupholder. He recreated the handle in Fusion360 and designed and printed a new cupholder that adjusts to the size of the cup.
What things would you like to fix or customized inside of your vehicle?

I wanted a workshop clock that was different to the table saw blade clocks that are sold by Craftsman, yet remained easy to build and cost less than $60. I settled on a Giant 6X life size Caliper. This is not a exact replica instead it’s a simple to build clock that looks a little like the standard engineers caliper.
The overall length of this caliper is 60 inches but you can build it to whatever length you like. I suggest you print the clock housing first so that if you want to make it smaller you can then measure the cutout and reduce your main shaft down to fit.This was printed on an Anycubic Chiron which has a 400mm x 400mm bed so again you may have to reduce the size of the main housing in Cura or cut it in half in Meshmixer to fit on a smaller bed size. If you do reduce the size you will need to find a smaller clock module
Erik Brandal has made an electronic sound sculpture which generates square waves. So in a sense it’s a drone sculpture within a beautiful, intricate case. Here’s more from hackaday:
The heart of this sculpture is an ESP32. It’s used to generate square waves, as well as to control the filter, amplitude, echo effect and LEDs. For once I made a video of the entire building process so that I don’t have to write too much. The video itself covers everything from design, preparing the materials and soldering.
Netflix released an official trailer for Guillermo Del Toro’s upcoming Pinnochio and it looks (predictably) charming and magical.
Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Guillermo del Toro reimagines the classic Italian tale of PINOCCHIO in a stop-motion musical adventure. Follow the mischievous adventures of Pinocchio in his pursuit of a place in the world.
Here’s some good, clean, youthful (and maybe a wee bit dangerous) fun. In this ProjectAir video, James and some friends take simple 3D printed rocket boats to a river and launch them across the water using model rocket motors.

Check out this recent piece from Tom’s Hardware that highlights a super rad retro game shop that relies on a Pi 3b for one of the shop/museum’s coolest features.
Creating a custom interface is one of the most exciting aspects of creating a retro gaming system with the Raspberry Pi. Tons of themes and original UIs have emerged over the years, but Neil, from YouTube channel RMC – The Cave, has taken things to the next level by creating a retro game shop replica as part of his retro games museum that functions as a front end for his emulation platform.
Instead of selecting a game from a menu on the screen, users choose a game from the physical store shelves and scan it using a barcode scanner. Once a game is selected, it will automatically load for the user to play. The glue that makes all of this work, is a Raspberry Pi 3B and a little Linux magic.

Turning a cluster of Raspberry Pis into a DIY supercomputer isn’t about making a truly powerful piece of computing. Even an inexpensive desktop computer is faster. But clustering Raspberry Pis is an inexpensive way to learn about parallel computing. Here’s more from Hackaday:
So while there was probably a “better” way to produce the Mandelbrot video seen below, creator [Michael Kohn] still learned a lot about putting together a robust parallel processing environment using industry standard tools like Kubernetes and Docker. Luckily for us, he was kind enough to document the whole process for anyone else who might be interested in following in his footsteps. Whatever your parallel task is, and whatever platform it happens to be running on, some of the notes here are likely to help you get it going.
It’s not the biggest Raspberry Pi cluster we’ve ever seen, but the four Pi 4s and the RGB LED festooned enclosure they live in make for an affordable and space-saving cluster to hone your skills on. Whether you’re practicing for the future of software development and deployment, or just looking for something new to play around with, building one of these small-scale clusters is a great way to get in on the action.

Pete Warden shared the creation story and how to use spchcat in this write up on hackster.io:
Over the winter holidays I decided my fun project would be to write a simple command line tool to listen to my Raspberry Pi’s microphone and write what text it heard to the terminal. The result is spchcat, a command line tool to read in audio from microphones, system audio, or wav files, and output text. All of the models and libraries it relies on are open source, and the code for the tool itself is available at github.com/petewarden/spchcat.

Very nice little clock full of features. Mike-rnkin shared this full build on GitHub:
This ESP32 internet of things desktop clock is a project created for my home. School has started and fall is coming so every morning my kids ask me what they should wear. This clock is normally very, very dim and shows the time, co2 value, room temperature and humidity in a dark orange color. When you move your hand a foot or so in front, the time fades away to a screen showing the days low temperature, high and what the weather conditions will be. Time is updated every few minutes over wifi from an NTP server, local weather data is updated from Openweather with various sensors on the front.

Here’s a fun project that will distract your cat while you’re working on other fun projects! Here’s more from Grant Desselle via hackster.io:
A servo connected to rack and pinion gears makes an object extend and retract from an enclosure, emulating the motion of a mouse leaving and retreating from its hole…. When the motion detector senses motion, the camera takes a picture and then the app uses OpenCvSharp to check if it can recognize a cat’s face in the photo.
If it does recognize a cat’s face, it takes another picture and a short video while it runs a predefined routine of movements. If a cat’s face is not recognized in the photo taken after movement was detected, the toy returns to checking for movement.

Cute project for those of us challenged by remembering important dates, from onehourcleaner up on Instructables.
I’m not great at remembering birthdays of friends and family. No matter how many ways I’ve tried… paper calendars (too manual), spreadsheets (not automated), social media (too…social media), I always end up forgetting to let the person I care about know that I also care about the day they came into the world.
Solution: get one of the 5 RaspberryPis I have doing various jobs to pick up my slack and send me a text the morning of my loved one’s birthday. Simple.

This is a PET bottle opener with claw for can opener.
[How I designed This]
I distribute PET bottle openers that I designed to various people, but one day I was asked to have the function of a can opener, so I decided to consider a design with a can opener.At first, I tried to make a slit type. But I found that the slit did not fit well on the pull tab, and the simple claw was excellent in versatility, so I choose the claw.
Due to the claw, my previous octagon shape was replaced with a simple circular shape. In addition, a hole was provided for the string to pass through and also to catch your finger.
If you embed a magnet in the hole, you may be able to attach it to the refrigerator. The diameter of the hole is 4 mm.
As a result, I think this is a pretty cute design.

Case that can accommodate Raspberry Pi 3A+ with 14x14x10 heatsink, AKASA SATA to USB adapter and 2.5inch hard drive.
Case is held together with 4 pcs of M3x30 cylinder head bolts.
Hard drive is fixed with 4 pcs of M3x6 cylinder head bolts.
Raspberry is fixed with 4 pcs of 2x5mm screws (from some broken toy).Stick few layers of insulation tape over the bolts under raspberry to avoid short circuit in case, this bolt will loosen.
To print top and bottom part, use 4mm tall modifier body to set 0 top and 0 bottom layers. Choose infill pattern and percentage you like. I recommend 0.6mm extrusion width for infill or more.

A guide has been updated in the Adafruit Learning System: Stream Deck controlled RGB Message Panel using Adafruit IO. The 3D Printing page has been updated with new models to make use of the updated Matrices in the store. Additionally 3MF files of all the models have also been added.
If you’ve ever done any live video streaming before, you may have heard of the Stream Deck. It allows you to customize the live streaming experience for your viewers such as showing the number of viewers, running custom keyboard commands, or showing animations. It allows you to customize the buttons too with whatever graphics you want.
But did you know there’s other non-streaming uses for the Stream Deck such as controlling lights in a house, open applications, or open web pages in a browser window? You can even write custom plugins to extend the capabilities.
This project uses a custom Stream Deck plugin to communicate directly with the Adafruit IO REST API. It works by posting a specific value to a feed and each button will post a different value to the feed allowing you to easily change messages.
Hi folks, we’re doing this thing today☕️⚡️ Livestream starts at 11:00 am ET on all the socials. Hope to see you on the Discord, bye!

If you haven’t heard of The Mitchells vs The Machines or had no interest in watching it, your option might change after looking through its art (and robots š)! From NetflixAwards.com:
Next time someone says big American studios are timid and don’t take creative risks anymore, you should remind them of how Sony Pictures Animation took a chance on freshman feature director Michael Rianda, co-director Jeff Rowe, and their team of eager and passionate creative artists and technical wizards.
The story of how the relative newcomers got to make The Mitchells vs. The Machines began several years before the studio won the Academy Award® for Best Animated Feature for its genuinely inventive Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

CPU motors and biomimetic design are the foundation of these kinetc sculptures from Seol-based artist Choe U-Ram. Here’s more from This is Colossal:
With assistance from embedded CPU motors, Seoul-based artist Choe U-Ram…mimics the lithe movements of animals and plants with his mesmerizing kinetic sculptures. The large-scale pieces are often suspended from the ceiling and illuminated by LED lights that cast glimmering reflections on the metallic components.
Included in his most recent works is the frayed, Tyvek-coated sculpture titled “One,” which imitates the lifecycle of a flower as it opens to a bright, full bloom before retreating to a smaller, darker form associated with decay. “Orbis” and “Song of the Sun” conjure more animalistic motions that evoke long fins gliding through the water and flapping wings, respectively, although the latter’s petal-like elements produce shadows that fill the gallery space with silhouettes of thick foliage.

In this video, Daniel Herrero shows how he uses an inexpensive peristaltic pump to remove resin from the vats of his printers without having to remove the vat.
As he points out, for small-bed resin printers, pouring off the remaining resin isn’t such a big deal, but it can become more unwieldy on printers with larger vats. In such cases, you might want to try this pumping solution.

We are really digging this project from from byte sized engineering on YouTube.
I built a gigantic 12x scale raspberry pi model 3. If that wasn’t crazy or complicated enough, I made it fully functional by hiding a real raspberry pi and routing wires and cables to all the connectors and components. There is over 5kg of PLA filament in this project which took over 150 hours to print.

With so many of us working from home, there’s a new need to let others in our homes know when we’re in meetings during the workday. To help with this around my home, I decided to make a simple “meeting indicator” device that shows when I’m busy/free during the workday by:
- Checking my Outlook calendar every 15 minutes to see if a meeting is happening
- Turning the LCD red if I’m in a meeting or green if I’m not
- Turning off the LCD screen outside of work hours

Printing:
Using my ender 3 printer, I did 100% infill and generate supports everywhere with a 59 overhang angle.
The supports can be tricky to remove, so I suggest cutting them loose to avoid breaking the print. Some sanding is required to get it in a good condition. I use super glue to attach the hinges.

A tray for small parts such as screws, bolts etc.
[Optional: Embed magnets]
9 x Circle magnets 10mm x 1.8mm
Some super glue
To insert the magnets stop print at Z-height 2.65mm and install magnets one by one. Apply some super glue under the magnet to keep it in place. Make sure that all magnets are facing the same direction. Continue printing the rest on top.If you don’t have magnets there is a version without any magnets available.

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!

I’ve tried to make the model parametric (Fusion 360), so that you easily change the number of sliders in particular, as well as other parameters such as the exact dimensions of a slider.
The whole thing consist of a lid that is attached to a box with 2-4 screws. The box houses an arduino pro micro and has a hole for the USB micro port of the arduino.
I use deej to control the volume: https://github.com/omriharel/deej
I changed the arduino sketch to include simple mute buttons (note that I inverted sliders in the sketch and not via the deej config): https://github.com/Zinurist/deej/blob/4ef9a846984d7934262704bf8d12b5288b6e9a29/arduino/deej-5-sliders-inverted-with-mute/deej-5-sliders-inverted-with-mute.inoFor the slider knob, I used this one: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1445081
