Ultimaker releases 3D-Printable Mascots for the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ #3DThursday #3DPrinting
Looking for another way to experience the World Cup in your everyday life? Why not 3D print the mascot for your favorite team! Modeled and shared to the YouMagine community by designer Bauermaker for Ultimaker. With these charming characters, only a rapid elimination of your favorite team will prevent you from succumbing to the temptation to print them into your homes: World Cup Mascots by Ultimaker.
The World Cup is a special event that only takes place every 4 years. Soccer fans from all over the world are united during the exciting matches. 3D-printing spans the entire world as well, that’s why Ultimaker decided to launch something special for people to enjoy during the World Cup.
We’ve created 16 special country related Mascots for people to print and show their support for their favorite team. By making the files available through YouMagine we enable people from all over the world to join in on the fun.
Every Mascot comes with their own country flag, which can be 2D-printed (old-school!). The flag can be glued to a piece of PLA string to serve as the flag pole.
We encourage every 3D-printer user out there, not only Ultimaker users, to print the Mascot of the country they support.
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 LulzBot TAZ – Open source 3D Printer and the Printrbot Simple Metal 3D Printer 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!

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!
