3D Hangouts – Energy Sword, Media Dial and Nuka Cola Bottle
This week @adafruit we’re working on our Halo Energy Sword prop remake powered by the Feather PropMaker 2040. Prototyping a new version of our classic media dial using QT Py RP2040 and Rotary Stemma QT. Time lapse this week features the iconic Nuka Cola bottle from Fallout designed by Theo.

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 Feather 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!
