Edible 3D Printed Treats Made of Crickets and Dung Beetles Are Here! From 3Dprint.com:

Over the last couple of years we have seen countless different objects 3D printed. We have also seen all sorts of materials used to print the objects. From plastics, to titanium, to wood composites, to even sugar and dough. Out of all these, I would have to say that this recent material is probably the most eye opening, and stomach churning.

Crickets and dung beetles are what make up these delectable, highly nutritious treats.  The insects have been crushed into a paste, fed into a 3D printer, and extruded into these intricate, well designed treats. Yes, pretty disgusting, but very nutritious if you ask Susana Soares, of London South Bank University, who feels that, “As the population grows, insects will be a solution to some food problems.”…

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!

The Adafruit Learning System has dozens of great tools to get you well on your way to creating incredible works of engineering, interactive art, and design with your 3D printer! We also offer the MakerBot Digitizer in our store. If you’ve made a cool project that combines 3D printing and electronics, be sure to let us know, and we’ll feature it here!


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!

Join us every Wednesday night at 8pm ET for Ask an Engineer!

Join over 38,000+ makers on Adafruit’s Discord channels and be part of the community! http://adafru.it/discord
