Wanted to see how well my homemade mini-kossel kept calibration on larger prints. Decided to print this vase I saw on thingiverse and it turned out very nice!
This was printed using 1.75mm PET+ and took around 24 hours to complete. (This is also only my 3rd print using PET+ which I am REALLY liking as a material so far.)(read more)
Featured Community Project from the Adafruit Blog
We shared robertd5‘s awesome retirement gift made with Adafruit Audio FX Sound Board this week on the blog:
The Principal of our school retired and as you might imagine he always had some good lines.
So I made the “Ask Rich”, that with the press of a button the advice keeps coming.
The bust is a 3D printed scan of him created using Skanect and the Xbox 360.
The Box is from a Hobby store that has a Lobby.
The on/off switch is one I had laying around. (read more)

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 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
