3D Printing Projects

In this tutorial we'll take a look at creating a frame for glasses or the Adafruit Monster M4SK. I use the loft featuring to seamlessly blend two surfaces together. The trick is to use tangent profiles!

This is a wearable case for the Adafruit Monster M4SK. The 3D Printed case snap fits together and lets you add a headband so you can wear it. The case has all of electronics so it’s nice and portable little package. The open frame design shows off the silkscreen so you enjoy the lovely artwork.

You can wear it as a pair of goggles or work it into your costume projects. They can be worn over your eyes, just be careful as you won’t be able to see very well.

The Adafruit monster Mask packs a ton of awesome stuff into one single board. It’s running a cortex M4, it’s got 8 megabytes of flash storage, USB charging and 2x IPS TFT displays.

It also has buttons, light sensor, expansion ports and accelerometer. Be sure to check out the product page for the full run down.

For a quick start, definitely check out the learn guide. The board has native USB support, so you can upload code and recharge the battery. It works like a USB drive so you can drag and drop bitmaps to change up the graphics. You can modify the look and customize the eyes by editing a special config file.

There’s lots of great project examples so you can get started right away! There’s also a ton of great support for programming languages like Arduino and Circuit Python.

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.

The braille alphabet will be printed on little cover pieces and super glued on top. The alphabet consists of dots in a 2 by 3 configuration. These dots are quite small but we were able to fit them on buttons with a diameter of 9mm. Each cover piece has it’s own set of dots so you can pick and place any letter you like.

To remove the parts from the bed, I like to use a razor blade. Just need to carefully get the edge of the blade underneath the part without scratching the bed.

While picking out the covers, it might be a bit tricky to make out the alphabet so I suggest a cheat sheet. so you’ll need to be cautious of the orientation when placing the covers.

Just a small drop of superglue is all it needs to bond to the caps. Once you get them on you can test out the button presses and get a feel for the dots. I think it’s interesting how your well fingertips can sense such fine details like these little dots.

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.

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.

It has pulsing animation and an idle sound effect that loops in the background. You can make this fit your project by customizing the colors or adding different sound effects. You can recharge the battery or even add new sounds with the USB port. The sword mounts on a computer, just like a USB Drive!

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.

In previous build we used several boards to make a similar project. For this one we can use Adafruit’s Feather and the Prop Maker Feather Wing.

Check out the learn guide for documentation. You can follow along step by step to wire the electronics and build the assembly.

The software is written in Adafruit’s Circuit Python so it easy to program the hardware. We setup the REPL to print the file names and neopixel colors. This way we can verify the button mapping or catch any errors. The Feather shows up as a USB drive so you can edit the code directly on the device. All of the files live on the drive so it’s easy to change code on any computer.

You Can Shake the device to shuffle the audio. Pressing the button on the side will reset the arrangement. We think it’s a fun demo of what you can with the accelerometer.
