So I edited the weapon so you can use a 1″ PVC pipe for the staff part. I need this for cosplay as I find that 3d printing the staff part of a weapon can cause it to snap especially if your at a con and someone bumps into you or you bump the weapon on something. And as PLA takes on moisture it tends to get more brittle and I live in a very humid area.

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!

Adafruit Learning System Weekly Update: New Year Edition

It has been a couple weeks since my last update, and there have been a lot of amazing new guides published to the Adafruit Learning System. Learn how to make MIDI stomping pads, learn how to make the above Pip-Boy 2040 wrist-mounted prop, build a neocontroller color grading input box, build an LED sculpture lamp, and so so so much more.

Favorite New Guide

This week my favorite new guide shows you how to make a LED sculpture lamp

It’s a sculpture. It’s a lamp. It’s an LED Sculpture Lamp!

Inspired by the idea of a curved lamp using LED strips, I created this 3D printable design. Thanks to the adjustable power supply, it is dimmable. To build the full lamp, 3 meters of LEDs are required.

Controlling Your Computer with Sliders & Keyswitches

Another one of my favorite guides over the last couple weeks is from John Park. He shows us how to control your computer with sliders and keyswitches. In this example, he uses sliders to adjust the color grading of images in Adobe Lightroom.

Build this sliders-and-keyswitches input device to speed up your photo color grading workflow!

Adobe Lightroom Classic can be controlled via MIDI messages, giving you quick access to essential processing controls. It’s a snap to adjust fundamental photo developing parameters such as exposure, color temperature, contrast, and saturation with the handy sliders. Use the keys to swap photos, and pull up the crop and heal tools.

Or, use it for any MIDI-capable application or host device, such as synthesizers, mixers, and more.

ALS Deep Cut

With so many guides on the Adafruit Learning System, some amazing guides of years past get buried and lost. ALS Deep Cuts brings these guides back up to the surface. This week’s guide is from back in 2016.

Turn your Circuit Python into a USB password vault

Long, random passwords — such as eF@V3p%2R*qhw8 are great because they’re so secure when compared to easy ones such as Pencil or 12345, but can be difficult to remember and to type. Once you build this Circuit Playground Password Vault, you won’t need to remember or type them ever again! The Circuit Playground can act as USB keyboard, so it can be plugged into any computer and be used to enter password for you.

But what if the Password Vault should fall into the hands of an enemy or sibling? Not a problem! You’ll create a unique unlock sequence that must be keyed in to unlock the device, so your passwords stay secure.

Once you’ve built the Password Vault, you can store up to ten passwords and deploy them at the push of a button!

Arduglasses #WearableWednesday

The Arduglasses are Arduboy compatable glasses with transparent OLED lenses. The frames themselves are custom PCBs. From Kevin Bates on Hackster.io:

The glasses are made out of printed circuit boards from OSH Park. The electronics driving the two displays are entirely on the right side stem of the glasses along with a small 100mAh rechargeable battery that will run the glasses for a little more than an hour. The left side stem is the same PCB, just unpopulated.
