Graflex Lightsaber – Prop Accurate #3DThursday #3DPrinting

timmy_d3 shares:

This is my second remix of CaseStudyno8’s Anakin Lightsaber. This model is as closely accurate to an actual Graflex flash tube prop that I can get. For all practical purposes, the exterior looks just like the real deal, with the exception of the bunny ears, which I traded perfect accuracy for ease of assembly.

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!

Printing Terminal for 7inch Raspberry Display with USB #3DThursday #3DPrinting

Printing should not be a problem

for usb i used cables like the one on the picture, just cut the males of and solder it directly to your raspberry pi. You will find the cables on amazon or banggood.
for mounting the case to the middle part i used screws which where also used to mount fans in a PC (Computer Cooling Fan Mount Screws). Same for the Backplate. You’ll find them also an amazon
i used 30x30mm 5v fans
for mounting the base to the middle part you can use screws with 3mm diameter and 20mm length
in the base you can mount iron plates to weight it down
— plate size 80x60mm
— holes for plates 68x51mm and 3,5mm use also 3mm screws
to prevent the stand from sliping around, i used a 1,5mm mat which is also used in trunk of cars. Use a spray glue to fix it
any questions? Just ask

Testing Threaded Inserts in 3D Prints by @cnc_kitchen #3DThursday #3DPrinting

CNC Kitchen shares:

I’ve tested the strength of brass threaded inserts and will compare it to cut threads and 3D printed threads. Let’s find out if it’s worth adding these metal parts to your designs!

NEW GUIDE: Multi-Sensor IoT Environmental Sensor Box With CircuitPython #IoT #InternetOfThings #CircuitPython #Adafruit #AdafruitIO #AdafruitLearningSystem @DAstels

A new guide today in the Adafruit Learning System: Multi-Sensor IoT Environmental Sensor Box With CircuitPython

This guide will walk you through making an environmental monitoring device with GPS, Temperature, Humidity, Barometric Pressure, and Air Quality sensors, all updating to the cloud. Once build, this project takes readings occasionally and sends them to Adafruit IO, stamped with time and location. All that is required is an AC outlet and a WiFi network.

All done in CircuitPython with AirLift, our wireless co-processor that makes secure IoT projects a breeze. And we stick it in a cute weatherproof case so it can be deployed anywhere.

Data is shown being streamed to Adafruit IO, the free data aggregation and visualization site.

Two circuits are presented – one with an Adafruit Feather and off-board Airlift processor and one with the new Adafruit Metro M4 Airlift lite, an all-in-one board.

See this new guide now.
