3D Printing Projects

We were inspired by The Suicide Squad to 3D print the Ratcatcher 2 Wand and light it up with an Adafruit Circuit Playground Express.

Guide: https://learn.adafruit.com/ratcatcher

With Circuit Python you can quickly make changes and see your projects update in real time on just about any computer.

The parts are 3d printed using different colors of filament. The various pieces are joined together with some hardware screws.

Liz (BlizCityDIY) wanted a better way to type and send emojis, so she came up with a Circuit Python project that uses the NeoKey 1×4 QT and QT Py RP2040. The code is well documented and the guide features a code walkthrough. Since it’s CircuitPython, it’s super easy to adapt and customize to work with your hardware set up. Bonus, there’s a macOS and Windows version. Check it out!

I [Noe] had a hand in designing a snap fit case for the QT Py and 1×4 NeoKey. It’s available to download, linked from the guide and also on Thingiverse. Big shout out to Liz coming up with this project and letting me design the case ⚡️🎛🥁

Touch and hear keyboard shortcuts!

Guide: https://learn.adafruit.com/macropad-braille-keycaps

These keycaps are 3D printed with the braille alphabet so folks can touch and hear their keyboard shortcuts.

We thought it’d be nice to have audible feedback so a tone is played when a key is pressed!

In this tutorial we'll take a look at using the sweep feature to create snap fit enclosures. I walk through sketching out snap fit geometry and trouble shoot some oddities with using chain selections in a path. The kitty paw enclosure required some clearance to accommodate for the QT Py RP2040 micro-controller so each side has specific snap fits.

Build a Jeopardy-like Game Show Buzzer with a Circuit Playground Bluefruit!

Guide: https://learn.adafruit.com/quiz-show-controller-keyboard-bluetooth

The first player to press their buzzer will illuminate the Host controller with the color of the buzzer handle!

You can even enable Bluetooth button presses to a computer or mobile device!

The code is written in CircuitPython, so it's easy to change the sound effects, colors and button presses!

In this tutorial I walk through creating a curvy rectangular shape using the spline tool in Fusion 360. I show how to use symmetrical and equal sketch constraints to create a shape thats flexible and parametric. Whenever one side of the shape is effect, the other side is perfectly mirrored. One corner of the shape features a bezier handle with a sketch dimension (length and angle) making it easy to adjust a single corner and automatically update the other three. This technique was used in an upcoming project that uses spline curves to create a kitty paw shape. I personally have found the spline tool one of the more trickier to tame and this project has brought me more understanding of how to better manipulate and control splines in fusion 360.
