3D Printing Projects

Guide: https://learn.adafruit.com/spacex-helmet In this project we'll build the iconic SpaceX helmet! This helmet features an articulating top half that allows the wearer to lift the visor up. NeoPixel LEDs illuminate the face with motion activated animations! We can customize motions to change different colors, animations or even play sounds!

Hey folks, this week we’re making accessibility buttons for the Adafruit PyGamer. These buttons are 3d printed with the braille alphabet so folks can touch and feel the buttons. We made a full set of these button caps to press fit over the PyGamer switches. They’re are printed flat side down with the stem facing up. All buttons in this kit fit on the bed of the 3D printer and only took a half hour. Adafruit PyGamer https://www.adafruit.com/product/4242 350mAh battery https://www.adafruit...

Thought I'd make a tutorial on how to create snap fits for circular PCBs. This method uses the sweep feature to create snaps that follow a path. Tabs with 45 degree snaps secures circular shaped PCBs.

Guide: https://learn.adafruit.com/zelda-master-sword Make a light up Master Sword from the Legend of Zelda! This build has motion activated sound effects and LED animations! The Adafruit Feather and Prop-Maker FeatherWing has you need to add lights and sounds to your projects. NeoPixel LEDs are fitted inside the blade. This uses the built-in accelerometer and audio amp. When you swing it around, it’ll make different sound effects. On heavy hits it makes flashes and fade the colors of the LEDs...

learn guide - https://learn.adafruit.com/neotrellis-soundboard/ This is a sound board using Adafruit’s NeoTrellis. This lets you trigger audio files so you can play it like a musical instrument. Each button can have different sounds so you can build your own sample kit. All of the electronics are housed in our 3D printed enclosure. The top and bottom covers snap fit so it’s easy to put together. It’s designed to be portable, compact device and it’s open source...

Guide: https://learn.adafruit.com/pybadger-event-badge PyBadger makes it easy to create interactive badges for conferences and events! You can easily display bitmap images and auto generate QR codes. Use adafruit’s circuit python to customize your badge with your name and contact info. You can easily change the size of the titles and even add custom fonts.

Guide: https://learn.adafruit.com/3d-printing-on-diffraction-grating-sheets - You can get shiny Iridescent effects on 3D printed parts! Double Axis Diffraction Sheets (13,500 lines/inch) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007FZXNL6 When printing, the texture of the diffraction grating is captured in the first layer. In direct light, reflections look iridescent with rainbow-like patterns! This technique was inspired by David Shorey (@shoreydesigns)...

This week I'm using the Manage Lost Projections feature in fusion 360 to update the enclosure for PyGamer. Rule of thumb is to use as little projected geometry as possible!
