Make a Voronoi Mushroom WiFi Controlled Night Light
Now’s the time to get that glow in the dark filament you’ve been dreaming of! Check out TinkeringProductions’s project on Instructables to make your own adorable mushroom night lights:
When I think about mushrooms I often thinK about them growing out of tree stumps or branches and it hit me I had that chunk of a Christmas tree waiting to be turned into something. Now with the parts and the concept lined up I moved on to thinking about how I would make the mushroom. I settled on designing a 3d printed one because I knew I could control the wall thickness to function as a diffuser for the LED Rings. With all the pieces falling into place I fired up Fusion360 and got to designing this 3d printed rainbow mushroom night light. I’ll go into all the steps of the design process in this instructable but if you just want the STLs and to get going on the physical side of things feel free to skip ahead as desired.

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.
