We’ve done a few full scale Neon-like signs but Makerverse is going mini. In this easy to follow tutorial they print up some mini-neon signs for use with LED filaments, or nOODs!
Learn how to design and create your own custom mini neon-style sign using free browser-based CAD software like Cuttle.xyz and Onshape.com! This step-by-step guide covers everything from gathering materials, designing in CAD, 3D printing, and assembling your LED filament neon sign. Perfect for DIY enthusiasts looking for a fun and easy project!
There are a ton of fun uses for nOOds. If you are looking for more inspo, head over to the Adafruit learning System
Adafruit publishes a wide range of writing and video content, including interviews and reporting on the maker market and the wider technology world. Our standards page is intended as a guide to best practices that Adafruit uses, as well as an outline of the ethical standards Adafruit aspires to. While Adafruit is not an independent journalistic institution, Adafruit strives to be a fair, informative, and positive voice within the community – check it out here: adafruit.com/editorialstandards
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.
