3D Design Inspiration: 3D-DREAMING “Architecture from a digital point of view” #3DThursday #3DPrinting
Each week, I share some of the books and other resources I have found inspiring in my investigation into 3D design for 3D printing. The full list lives here on the pinboard “3D Design to 3D Print Inspirations” and each #3DThursday I share about those that I most highly recommend.
In this case, Sarah Blitzer, an M.Arch + M.S. Historic Preservation student at the University of Pennsylvania, reached out to me to suggest I make sure to check out 3D-DREAMING, which is a visual-centric blog of the latest things happening in architecture and structural design (a few of the 3D printed items in the grid have already shown up here for #3dthursday in the past). I think this is a great lead to round out the architecture-related books I have been sharing here recently. Fantastic resource, thanks for the tip, Sarah! If any of you have other tips for me to check out, send them my way!

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!
