Sphero Chariot #3DThursday #3DPrinting

TechMama shares:

Sphero chariot works well. The wheels do wobble a bit but it keeps it from jamming up. a couple of washers would fix the problem. Once you have everything printed you will need to carefully press on the wheels. it is hard to press them on and they will not come off.

As the AG13/LR44 box (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5189027) turned out more useful than expected I also made one for CR2032 which also fits CR2016. It also got the hole for a Ø10x2mm magnet even though I don’t need it right now but one never knows.

Portable Dice Game #3DThursday #3DPrinting

lundiplutzmus shares:

This is a small dice rolling game for children. The game itself is shaped like a die and serves as a container with screw cap, ideal for travel.

The amount of pegs you might print depends on the amount of players, I think 12 is a good start.

Controller Tower Xbox One and 360 #3DThursday #3DPrinting

Kdcool shares:

Made everything larger (5 cm in lieu of 3,5) so it could hold the Xbox 360 controllers.
Don’t forget to enable bridge settings in order to print those for 360 Controllers.

I recommend 2 walls for Xbox One and 3 for 360.
I used 13% lines infill and it still is very stable at 6 controllers.

The Universal Kitchen Rack #3DThursday #3DPrinting

wanhaofan1 shares:

This is version 2 of The Universal Kitchen Rack. The original version can be found here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4901424 . While using threaded rods was an option for version 1, it is the default for version 2. This was done to make TUKR stronger and more resistant to fatigue failure. Many dimensions were changed to improve strength, so the version 1 files are NOT compatible with the version 2 files.

Mary Blair’s #WHM22 #WomensHistoryMonth #WomenInSTEM

Today we celebrate Marie Blair, an artist, animator, and designer. She drove the design for Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Cinderella, and more. Blair’s unique approach is central to many aspects of Disney parks, including the innovative and influential color palette and neo-Art Deco design of It’s a Small World.

From the Christian Science Monitor:

“[Mary Blair’s] vibrant colors and stylized designs pervade Disney animated films from 1943 to 1953,” writes Mr. Canemaker. “Beneath her deceptively simple style, lies enormous visual sophistication and craftsmanship in everything from color choices to composition.”

Disney had a stable of amazing artists, “but where Mary Blair was unique was that the work that she did here at the studio was not only beautiful work, what she did went beyond the project into a pure art form,” says Michael Giaimo, art director on Disney’s “Pocahontas,” in an interview with the L.A. Times last week. “It became art. It became a statement unto itself.”

“Her most distinctive factor is that she is kind of showing us her soul,” Mr. Giaimo added. “It is not just slick commercial art, it is the combination of commercial and the personal in the artistic sense. She puts herself into her art work and it transcends the greatest of the Disney movies.”

More art from Mary Blair!

Can You Create Omni-Directional Tank Tracks?

We recently ran a piece about experimenting with 3D printed omni-directional wheels. In this James Bruton video, he asks the musical question: Can you create omniwheel tank tracks?

The good news is, you can. They work quite well. The bad news in that they don’t take kindly to climbing over even the most low-profile obstacles. James plans to do more experimentation to see if he can create a grippier, all-terrain version of his 3-tread omniwheel tank.

Why Is a Virtual Veronese Artwork at a Physical Museum? #ArtTuesday

Still from inside the Virtual Veronese experience

London’s National Gallery is giving vistors the opportunity to view peices as they were originally intended, sort of. Hyperallergic visited the Virtual Veronese

…the National Gallery’s Virtual Veronese ingeniously uses the VR concept for more practical and educational reasons. Its aim, according to the National Gallery’s Head of Digital, Lawrence Chiles, is to use immersive storytelling to add “depth of experience, meaning, and emotion to Gallery visitors’ engagement with our paintings.” Using VR headsets, visitors will be able to see Paolo Veronese’s “The Consecration of Saint Nicholas” hanging in the chapel of San Benedetto al Po, one of the largest Benedictine monasteries in Europe, for which it was commissioned in 1561.

A History of Computer Art #ArtTuesday @V_and_A

London’s Victoria and Albert Museum presents A History of Computer Art which spans from the 1950s through the 1990s and more.

In the 1950s, many artists and designers were working with mechanical devices and analogue computers in a way that can be seen as a precursor to the work of the early digital pioneers who followed.

One of the earliest electronic works in the V&A’s collection is ‘Oscillon 40’ dating from 1952. The artist, Ben Laposky, used an oscilloscope to manipulate electronic waves that appeared on the small fluorescent screen.

Responsive Sculptures by Daniel Rozin #ArtTuesday

A new exhibition features art that changes based on the viewer’s movements. Here’s more from COLOSSAL:

Titled Shades, the show is comprised of multiple imitative works that reflect viewers’ movements through an embedded camera. “Take Out-Chopsticks Mirror,” for example, attaches the wooden utensils to a motorized base, and as someone passes in front of the piece, the components lift upward at a wider angle. In addition to the echoed motion, the undulating works rely on light and shadow to create intriguing, abstract renditions of human gesture.

New York’s Broadway Makers Marketplace provides fans both crafts and community

NPR highlights the delightful Broadway Makers Marketplace, located in a busy Columbus Circle subway station.

There’s an underground market, with food stalls and stores, in a corridor of the Columbus Circle subway station. And at the very end, where a bar used to be, is an unexpected sight: a storefront filled with Broadway memorabilia and fan-made art. It’s called the Broadway Makers Marketplace, and last Sunday afternoon, it hosted a game of Broadway bingo. About a dozen people gathered in front of the shop, singing show tunes while stamping their bingo cards.

Wordle-Solving 3D Printer #piday #raspberrypi @Raspberry_Pi

via Gizmodo

Building a robot from scratch is no easy task, but when all you need is a robot to press on a smartphone touchscreen and then capture images of what happens, a 3D printer gets you 95% of the way there already. Greening started with a Creality 3D printer and made some simple upgrades: a touchscreen-friendly stylus in lieu of a filament extruder, a Raspberry Pi Camera to capture images of the screen for positioning and to monitor the game’s feedback, and a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B to serve as the bot’s brains and controller.

Digital Easter Egg Hunt @Raspberry_Pi #PiDay #RaspberryPi

Just in case this is something you need, Alex Bate has put together a way you can instruct a Raspberry Pi to reveal the location of a hidden chocolate egg. Here’s more from Raspberry Pi Blog:

You’ll need an egg carton, two male-to-female jumper wire, and two crocodile leads for each egg you use. Connect your leads together in pairs: one end of a crocodile lead to the male end of one jumper wire. Attach the free crocodile clips of two leads to each corner of the egg carton (as shown up top). Then hook up the female ends to GPIO pins: one numbered pin and one ground pin per egg. I recommend pins 3, 4, 18 and 24, as they all have adjacent GND pins. Your foil-wrapped Easter egg will complete the circuit — make sure it’s touching both the GPIO- and GND-connected clips when resting in the carton.

Tesla Model S Parcel Shelf Lifter #3DThursday #3DPrinting

CommanderB shares:

This is a rear parcel shelf lifter for the Tesla Model S.

Inspired by the now removed https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3721952 and incorporating the clip from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4285139 this auto lifts the rear parcel shelf in the Model S when the liftgate opens. It has a quick release clip which allows the shelf to be removed easily.

Recommend one each side, but it seems to work with just one.

Best printed in PETG or ABS to withstand summer heat.

The red print is PLA for my testing, this was printed at 20% infill, no supports, no raft and works well. The only problem likely being durability in the summer.

My final print was meant to be PETG in black, but this proved much harder. I’m not very experienced with non-PLA prints, so this took a lot of experimentation and fails. PETG is also more brittle…

My final good results for the PETG prints were –

The window mount on its side, no supports 100% infill.

The top clip on its base, supports, 100% infill

The shelf lifter on its back, no supports, 50% infill

Portable RetroPie – Raspberry Pi 4 console #3DThursday #3DPrinting

Widge shares:

I made this portable Retropie games console as a proof of concept before my main project which would be to make a fully integrated version (using an internally wired controller rather than the bluetooth controller this version uses). Although, I am very happy with the way this turned out.

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!

Grandma’s Favorite Filament Clip #3DThursday #3DPrinting

Extrutim shares:

I’ve tested many filament clips, but none was the perfect one.
So i designed this little clip. About 6 minutes to print, 1g of Filament and this shovel to get easily under tightly wound filament.
The filament is held firmly in the clip as it snaps into place.
According to one comment, by scaling to 160% the clip should also work with 2.85mm filament.

Emergency Stop Button Case #3DThursday #3DPrinting

marcusfecit shares:

This is a case to enclose a standard 22mm Emergency Stop Button. It also includes a second 22mm hole for a LED Indicator so you can know when the power is ON or OFF. The Case Body and the Base have both already some breakable hollows for 8mm or 16mm tubes or cables.
I provide STL files that are high enough to install either a cheap chinese emergency stop button or an expensive Schneider Electric one. The design is however a bit parametric if you need to install a higher button. To adjust the dimensions, open the FCSTD file with FreeCAD, then the ‘Dimensions’ spreadsheet in the tree view. You can have both the design and the dimensions sheet side by side by clicking on the ‘Windows’ menu then ‘Tile’. Once you are satisfied with your settings, export the new parts in STL. When some parameters combinations are impossible, FreeCAD will either ignore your choice or just crash.
This is an open-source design. FreeCAD file is provided.
Feel free to modify this thing at your convenience.
Good design is hard work, even small donations are welcome.
