Each week Ladyada shows the newest great electronics at Adafruit!
Join Ladyada streaming live for circuit board layout design, code writing, surface mount soldering and more fresh engineering and even some gaming! If Ladyada’s working on it, you’ll find it here first.
Chip Shortage includes videos about the ongoing chip shortage in the electronics industry. Adafruit founder Ladyada discusses the current state and highlights products that are hard to get or possibly “unobtainium”.
Project builds, hacks, and mods from John Park’s Workshop!
This playlist highlights Adafruit manufacturing right here in NYC!
dr_badger shared this project on Thingiverse!
This is a clock where, instead of having linear hands, the entire clock face rotates. This produces interesting geometrical patterns throughout the day as the two hands intersect at various angles.
You will need to print a face, a frame, an hour hand, and a minute hand.
It is intended to be more difficult than a typical clock to read, as a sort of statement on the modern obsession with precise time. The hour and minute hands are identical, other than the hole for the shaft.
STLs are provided that fit a movement I own. There is also a .scad for customization to whatever movement you find.
The various surfaces are rounded so that the edges are less likely to catch on one another, but it still happens, usually when the hands are 90 degrees apart. I recommend finding a fairly rigid filament. Ensure that everything is stable and parallel. There should be small gaps between the face, the hour hand, and the minute hand.

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!
