So, I love my new microbits, and not just because I get to say I have a BBC-branded computer. However, those pins and contacts are not anywhere near as convenient as they should be. Yes, banana plugs fit, but unless you only stick them in halfway, they just sort of wiggle about. Alligator clips are fine for testing, but I don’t like how they bite into the PCB if you try to hook them through the holes, and if you simply apply them to the contacts, they can shift around and scratch things up, if not cause shorts across other contacts.

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! 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!
