In this video, I'm going to tell you how to get better control over your audio levels in Ecam Live. Hello, welcome to Take One Tech. My name's Alec. In this video, we're going to be talking about basically some fine adjustment that you can do with audio levels in Ecam Live. This came about because I sort of made a little discovery myself. Not that I'm the first. I mean, it's in the software, but something I hadn't realised. I sort of noticed this about a week ago, something like that, and thought I was the only one who didn't even know about it. But then it was mentioned in a group just today. In fact, that somebody else had a question about it. And so I just mentioned that I'd found this thing and they didn't know. And then somebody else commented that they didn't know about it either. So I thought I'd just make a little video just in case there was anybody else who might find this useful. So let me just go into demo mode. This is going to be a pretty short video, really, but I hope it's useful to some of you. So I've got my Ecam Live and I've got my sound levels window over here. And I've also got my sound effects window. Now, anything that you've got in your sound effects, so things like music and sound effects, they are controlled by this sound effects volume slider here. So you can see at the moment, because I'm speaking, my microphone here input is bouncing up and down. So that's obviously picking my voice up. And then the next one down we have is movie volume. So if you've got movies in your scenes and things like that, then this is where you set the volume for that. And then as I say, sound effects covers anything that's in the sound effects panel. So that can be music or just sound effects. Then you've got system audio, which is obviously the audio that's coming through from your system. And then the interview mode. So that's controlling the volume of any guests that you've got on your interviews. So the thing that I want to talk about specifically is really this sound effects and the sound effects panel because the little epiphany that I had, the discovery that I had rather, I should say, is that you can actually control the volume of each of these items that you have in your sound effects panel. You can control those all individually. So why is this important? Well, for example, if I've got some background music, let's say this. That's a little bit loud to talk over, isn't it? So let me stop it before it goes on too long. That is far too loud. So OK then, let's move the slider down for sound effects or something more reasonable. And now that's quite OK, isn't it? For a bit of background music. But what about if you've got a sound effect that you want to play, something like this? Well, you see, now that's not very loud, is it? So what we need to do with that is we need to move the slider back up again and then try it again. So there you go. We've got that sound effect there. So the problem is, well, it's not a problem because there is a solution that they've obviously thought about. But the thing about it is that you've got different volume levels. Well, the little thing is basically here, if you click on this cog wheel for each of these items, you can actually set the volume here. So this slider here is for the volume of that individual item. So now if I reset the volume of this particular item, so that is just this piece of music. Now that is still low and runs in the background. But this one that I've left that full volume, if I click that one.  That one's still the same volume. The volume of my sound effect set to 100%. And then I can just adjust the volume of these individually. Incidentally, while we're in here, I have mentioned this in another video, but you can click on here and press loop. So if you want to loop something, you can loop it there. You can also add a hot key so that you can just trigger something by a hot key. You can do it automatically within stream deck as well, of course. But if you wanted to, if you're not a stream deck user, then you can just add a hot key. I don't know, some outro music or some sound effects. Then you can do that there. Also, if you want a piece of music to play automatically when you go into a particular scene, then you can just click on this and click add to scene. And then what you'll see is it appears up in the top corner. So that would mean that if I went to another scene, for example, say this one, and then went back to that first scene again, then the music just automatically fires up. So, and if you want to delete it, you could just click here and delete it from that scene. As I mentioned, you can just loop the music as well. But by the way, if you have got a folder, say you've got a series of background tracks, then you'll notice that on the background folder, there is a cogwheel next to that one as well. And you don't get the volume control globally for that particular folder. But what you do have is you have the hot key as well. So you can assign a hot key for this folder. And also you have the looping control. And you also have add to scene. So what that means is that if you've got a series of background tracks and you want that running in the background, you can actually add that whole folder to the scene. And then you can toggle on this looping one here. And that basically will then, every time you go to that scene, we'll start playing the music and we'll loop through all of the tracks that are in that folder and just keep looping round and round. So that is all I've got for today for this particular video at least. And it was just this little discovery that I had which I certainly made my day. I'm easily pleased that you can actually adjust levels on a track by track and sound effect by sound effect basis. If you found that useful, then leave a note down in the comments. And if you've got any other little nuggets of information like that because it's easy to miss some of these things. If you're like me, you haven't thoroughly read the instructions. I've got to confess a lot of the things that I learned to do, I learned by doing them. And sometimes I've not necessarily read thoroughly through the instructions.  So that is all for today. If you have found it useful then obviously, don't forget to like and subscribe. And in the meantime, I'm going to leave a link to some more great e-cam live videos over on the right hand side there. So until the next video, have a great day, everyone.


and let you guys know what's going on this week. So let's get started with, I think the freebies. I'm gonna pay some bills for mowing some freebies. So the more money you spend with Adafruit, the more free stuff you're gonna get. So let me run through some of these freebie goodies. For $99 or more, if you order $99 or more, worth of stuff, you get a free half-size perma-proto breadboard. For orders that are $149, you get the half-size perma-proto plus, a randomly selected Stema QT breakout. If you have an account with Adafruit, we'll make sure you don't get the same one twice. That's really nice. For orders that are $200 or more, you'll get the randomly selected Stema QT breakout, the half-size perma-proto, and free ground shipping for continental US. And for orders that are $299 more, you'll get the free ground shipping, the randomly selected Stema QT board, the perma-proto half-size breadboard, and this week's spotlight product. You'll get a free circuit playground express with orders for $299 or more. So that's awesome. Circuit Playground Express is one of the flagship products that Adafruit's packed with lots of goodies, like NeoPixels, accelerometers, buttons, buzzers, switches, PDM microphones, flash, two megabytes of light. They just got everything. It runs Circuit Python, Arduino, TinyGo, and like a hundred other different programs. You can even do JavaScript too, why not? Throw it all in there.

And that is your freebies, and I have now paid the bills. We got other free, free. We already got other awesome things. It is the Halloween season. It is September 1st. Happy September 1st, everybody. Halloween Hackfest is a sponsored contest that Adafruit is partnering with Digikey and Hackaday.io. So check this out. I got a blog post on blog.adafruit.com. Let me pull up the website. I wanna see if there's some new entries. Give me a moment while I queue up the websites that didn't queue it up. So let me see. Where would I even find it? Come on, guys, help me out here. Contests, here we go. I got it. See, I found it. I know what I'm doing. There we go. So I went to Hackaday.io and there's a button that hits this contest. They got another contest going on with the Halloween Hackfest. The Halloween Hackfest is the one we're sponsoring. So the deal is you create a project. It can already be a project you've made before and you create it through Adafruit.io's website and then you can submit it with a little button and there's a whole breakdown here in the text that I've highlighted and there's some example projects here and there's some submissions. There's seven new submissions. It's relatively early. Last week, I was looking at the animatronic child, the Grogu from The Mandalorian. This week I'm seeing some cool stuff from Chernobyl, the HBO original series Chernobyl. I gotta start watching that because I've heard it's really, really good. So all is awesome. Check them out. It's really, it's free to enter. And if you use Adafruit gear, you don't have to but if you do, your prize doubles. So that's awesome. So check it out. Hackaday.io, click on the contest and take a look at some of the entries for inspiration. And we hope that you are in, I don't know, get inspired to make some fun Halloween stuff this year. So that is the Hackfest. All right, moving on. Help Wanted. There are some new jobs. Actually, there's some ones from last week. So let's take a look at them real quick. If you don't know, Adafruit has a jobs board. Go to jobs.adafruit.com. You can see all the open positions that are around the maker's fear. So you can take a look here. There's an open hardware summer chair. There's an exhibit maintenance technician, supply chain specialist, and there's still a opening for DigiKey for a influencer in content creator Rockstar. So if that's you, check it out. There's some full-time positions, remote positions and contract positions.  As a maker. As a maker for hire, thanks. So check those out. That's the jobs board at jobsadafruit.com. Good, cool. Every day there's a newsletter from the team, the CS team here at Adafruit. Do daily emails if you would like to be, if you'd like to subscribe to the various categories, go to adafruitdaily.com. Awesome categories such as Circuit Python on hardware, IOT monthly, 3D printing, biohacking, maker business and a lot more. So check that out. AdafruitDaily.com, it's a standalone website because we promise never to spam folks and we never automatically subscribe folks to it. So you gotta do it manually. Once a week we have a newsletter called the new new newsletter. It goes with Lamar's jingle that she does every week and you can get notified through your inbox on all the new products that are added weekly to the store, which is amazing with an amazing feat. New products every week, that's crazy. Well, we're crazy. And that is the new new newsletter. Every Monday, the Circuit Python meeting, it happens live in the Discord chat room. You can tune in live or listen at the archive on any of your favorite podcasting services. This is where the community, the Circuit Python community and the core devs come together, talk about what they're working on and what they wanna work on. It's a great opportunity for folks to listen into the inner workings of Blinka and is she a delicious cake or not? This is a cake that she has been eaten. They have cake every single week. On the meeting. Next week, it won't be Monday because here in the States, there is a bit of a Labor Day holiday and that will be on Tuesday at 2PM Eastern time. So check it out tomorrow or tomorrow. Next week, Tuesday. What else do we have? I believe that's it. You believe that's it? All right, well, that's this housekeeping and let me check back in and follow up with some shout outs. I wanna shout out Alvaro, who's hanging out in Costa Rica. Feddy too, this is Handel. We got Richard from the UK. Working on some tinker cat stuff, that's awesome. And then Pedro is posting up links. So any other chat rooms? Yeah, over on the YouTube chat, we got Jack Bruton who is working on an Iron Man arc reactor today while watching. That's great. Some can't wait to see. Definitely come on the show and tell. Yes, we'd like you to show and tell tonight. That's up to 30. We're not hosting this week, but maybe we'll hold it next week. And then some big ups from Vince on the Star Trek badge.  Can't wait for it. Oh, right. Are we ready to jump into this week's project? Yeah, this week's project is another Suicide Squad project. I feel really wanted this cool prop that is used by the Ratcatcher. So this is the Ratcatcher communicator. Yeah, we can command and manipulate swarms of rats, which is always a great superpower when intergalactic beasts that are shaped like starfish come and want to take over the world. But we got a fancy communicator device that can control these rats. Yeah, so the hard part about this is literally trying to get the reference shots because it's like in three scenes in the entire movie. That's really the hardest part. Yeah, then you can't see any of the details because the Ratcatcher is always holding it in her hand. So it's kind of hard to see any of the details. It's dark and kind of gloomy. Yeah, there's like, right at the end, I think is the best shot that you could see. But it's like covered in dirt. So like everything is obfuscated. Yeah, so it's completely 3D printed. It is using the circuit playground express to do the light up stuff. And it's got all these little greeblies and knobs and things that are a bit of a fun detail. But the battery is actually hidden inside the handle, which is always a great spot to hide your battery. And this uses this cylindrical battery, those blue kind of batteries, the 2,200 milliamp batteries. Those fit nicely here. They're rechargeable as well. And one of the cool things I like about the prop in the movie, you can actually see some of the wires and stuff. And that's why the wire is stinking out there. It actually is a functional thing. The wiring is a part of the prop and it's a part of the actual real electronics. So if you want to turn this off, you could wire up a slide switch if you want, but we think it's fine that you can take this out. And because it's rechargeable, we had to have a little rechargeable lipo backpack. I think that's what it's called.  So if you wanted to charge this up, I got a little cable here for you. So we'll go ahead and charge up our battery. And this is how you want to do these type of projects. If you don't want to have an integrated lipo thing, you can always charge it this way. A lot of our Cosplay props are charged this way. So you can integrate it into your circuit. That's fine, but you can always have it be minimalistic and then charge it after the fact. And because the wiring is exposed, it's easy enough to just have it that way, yeah. Which is really cool because we didn't have to hide it. We didn't have to have any sort of design consideration for that, except having it be exposed which is pretty nice when designing everything. This is great. Normally when you're making a prop, you have to embed everything.  So this project, because of the way it actually is in the movie, it really made it simple. The circuit playground is embedded inside this dome and we didn't have to break any of the USB out or it's just using a JSD extension cable that plugs into, you're probably gonna take it apart and all that stuff so you can really showcase like how you wanna make your props modular so that they can be serviced and so that it's easy to kind of reprogram it. At some point, we're gonna have over the air programming maybe next week, but as of now, look how screws, right? Like I kind of make a joke in the video about how many screws, but it really is a nice technique to use in your props. It uses as many screws as you can so that it's not, nothing is glued, is that right? Nothing's really glued here. Look at this clever way that Pedro mounted the CPX. Go ahead and turn it off so you can take a look at how you have managed to embed this thing inside of two domes and somehow it still is able to diffuse the entire globe, the entire dome rather without too much trickery. So this is some PLA material that we really recommend. It's kind of the natural PLA color. I suppose like a translucent PLA doesn't really, at least with this effect, we want it to have this kind of white color. So that's why we have this translucent natural PLA. Yeah, we tried the clear or translucent and it has more of like a crystal look to it. It doesn't diffuse the entire dome. It gives you some weird hot spots too so this evenly diffuses it. So whenever you're doing something that kind of wants to stay white, I think if you change the color, this will, it'll soak in the color if that makes sense. Like it'll adapt to that color. So we really recommend the natural clear PLA is normally what it's called. But if you're just doing regular white PLA, sometimes the pigment, it tends to be warmer or more blue. And this stuff, as you can see, you can almost see through it. You can see like the thing through there. So you can see it's not really quite like a full white PLA. Yeah. So it's called natural, I think. Natural, yeah. So that's the one, that's the key word you wanna look for, natural white. Clear, yeah. Not clear. Clear will be like the translucent, which will have the hot spots and. Transparent. Or transparent, yeah. Because then it will have those hot spots and it won't illuminate the entire dome. And if we were to change the code with like a quick color, we could make this completely red and then that would be really fun. Maybe we'll do that during the live show, just to show like how good this material is. But that's my rant. I really wanted to talk about the material because I feel like that's something that a lot of folks might benefit from because it translates to so many different props. Yes. In terms of illuminating all the props that you wanna have. Keep it in that saturated color, yeah. Yeah. Another cool thing about this is you do need a bunch of supports, but once you have your supports all dialed in and you can have a very nice in terms of overhangs and just how thin these are. As I was talking about this last week, this is one of the things that I was super happy about. I thought I would have to make this a lot more thicker and more bigger in terms of not being so thin so that the part could actually come out and not be all brittle. This one's nice and strong, so it has plenty of strength when you're removing the supports on this. And instead of having it be like a dual extrusion print, I wanted to make sure that everybody with a single extruder would be able to print this out. And I think it's a lot more easier in terms of having it be two pieces since you are able to have this be like the thing that holds the entire piece together and in terms of if it was a dual extruded, it would be a little bit more messy having to switch between all the tools and paths for this. So yeah, a lot more cleaner, I believe. And having it be dual extruded. Yeah. Let's see, you want to do some fun? Yeah, it's a bunch of screws. So we have the M2-5s and the M3s for the sort of playground and then the M2.5. We do love doing all the snap together and the twisty, but at some point, we need it to be a little bit more mechanically strong and have it be removable without, like if you've made like snap together stuff before, you do get a degradation of the snap part over time. Of course, over time, all that sort of thing. So screws is a great way to just kind of make it, this is going to permanently, well, it's a good mix of like it's permanently secured in place, but I can also take it apart. So really nice. No need for heat inserts or anything like that. It just kind of taps into the plastic real nicely. Yeah. And then some of the other parts is just having like a nice little mount for that. You can see the way that everything attaches instead of having like. This is a cool mount. You got your built-in standoff, so you elevate the PCB. You could solder wires if you wanted to, but it's nice that you don't have to solder anything, especially with a certain playground. All the new pixels are built in. And you know, this is one of these things where we wish we could have had more time to work on the code and utilize the accelerometers and do some cool things, but we kind of added time. And you know what? I think that's going to be for some folks out there that fancy themselves programmers. They can have fun coming up with some new interactive code for this type of project. Yeah, we'll take a look at the code once we go into the learn guide to see, we're just using the built-in effects for that, using the pulse animation that Katnien added in there. Yeah, that's the LED animation library, our favorite library for circuit Python. One of the easiest ones to use as well. So as Pager's doing that, I'll go ahead and load up. The learn guide. The learn guide. So if you head over to learn.ajifruit.com, you can see that the learn guide is up under the new section. And let me walk through the kind of home page. So quick of the love, or love the factors asking where are the F3D files for the pieces? It is on the 3D printing page on the learn guide. Right, and if you just want the circuit playground, we have the blue fruit version and the express version in our GitHub repository. Definitely check out the model. We have an STL, a step and the Fusion 360 model of this and it has all the prepopulated components. So you can make sure that all your clearances are super tight and they have a one-to-one accuracy. So check those out. That is how we make these projects possible. Yeah, especially with having to fit everything into such a tight little spot, we need to make sure that all of the standoffs and all of the clearances match. Right, right. And if you are doing something like TickerCAD, you can use those STL files as well. And I'll go ahead and throw this link to our GitHub repository. There you go. And in the learn guide, that's where Pedro has posted up the CAD files. And if not, we'll be sure to do it. I'm not sure if you posted it on Thingiverse and things like that. Yep, it's all on Thingiverse. Sweet. Everything's all linked up there. So you can get just the STL files if you just want to print that out or if you want to adjust the Fusion 360 files. If you jump over to the 3D printing page, you can see the download for that. Yeah, we'll get there. We're gonna run through it chronologically. So the parts, I'm really happy about the parts here. They're all in stock, everything.  So that's why. And then there's some ancillary things that you can get to like the LiPo backpack charger. Oh, right. I forgot about the cables. We got cables that are pink and they look great, right? Good quality cables. But yeah, it's just the circuit playground and the battery and the extension cable. It's nice that the extension cable just, you can use it as is. You don't need to splice it or shorten it or anything. And these batteries are in stock. They're really great batteries for these type of props with a handle or even if it's something else, it's a great batteries because they're not those soft LiPo pockets that can burst. These are strong, you can drop them, but don't drop them, right? Yeah. And cables for days. Oh, and we also sell some a nice M25 kit, which you can use. Yeah. All right, so that's an overview page. All the parts are in stock. Get a circuit playground if you don't have one already. Or it'll come free with the 299 or whatever. Order. There's a part shortage. How can we do this? Well, supplies last, of course. So that's the overview page. Let's go ahead and jump into the circuit Python page. This is a mirrored page that normally goes in with all of the boards, but we need people to know that you wanna update your circuit playground express with the latest version of circuit Python. And this page walks you through it. It's super easy to do. You download a file from this link here. And when you download it, you get your board into the bootloader mode. There is a built-in reset button on the circuit playground express. You hit that twice, and then you go into this mode called bootloader. It shows up on your computer as a USB drive. It's called like Cplayboot. And then what you do is that file that you downloaded from this green button, you literally drag and drop it onto that drive and it auto-magically flashes the new firmware and gets it all ready for circuit Python. And then it reloads as a Cplayboot or a circuit pi drive rather. And that's it, you're done. There from there, you can get the code. One of the latest additions to the learn system is this project bundle. Previously you had to kind of download a library bundle and then pick and choose the libraries that are used in this project. But this button now wraps everything up together. So you do not have to hunt down the libraries. This will not just give you the code but also any assets like bitmaps or MP3s, audio files. But more importantly, the library files that is necessary to run the code. So you do need libraries, this Python. There's only two libraries here. You got the NeoPixel library and the LED animation library. Everything's commented. It's really, really easy to adjust it. To add more colors, we can add more colors to the import. Right now I'm just importing white but you could put a comma and add more colors. We have a whole slew of colors that you could play with. Those are listed in the LED animation library which always is good reference point if you're new to the library. But from here, we had a lot of built in things like you can tell the NeoPixels that I'm using the NeoPixel pin because that's already tied into the circuit playground. Then you can play around with the brightness and then you can change the pulse parameters in there. You can change up the color, the speed and the period of which it's kind of going over time. And then in the wild true, you could just got your pulse.animate and it's animating indefinitely. So that's a quick look at the code. Super-duper simple. Check it out. Again, if you click on that project bundle, it gives you the code and the libraries and then you just drag and drop all those onto your circuit pi drive and your code just runs automatically. And the cool thing is this isn't tied to an IDE. You can use a tax editor if you want. You can open this on any computer that runs a tax editor and it has USB drive support. That's pretty much all the things, right? Like it works on a Chromebook. It's gonna work on a Windows laptop. Sometimes it'll work on a Windows tablet, Android maybe. And we're hoping to have over-the-air Bluetooth connectivity at some point. Dude. Dude. And then this just gives you a screenshot of what your drive should look like, your circuit playground slash circuit Python drive. This is what it looks like.  And there you go. Very, very simple. And that's the code, right? Real quick though, let me go to learn and just kinda go, if you want more, just type in LED animation. And then this is the one you want. Circuit Python LED Animations by Katny. And this walks you through all the various effects and colors and you can make grids, you can do text, I think you can do text yet, but you can do all these rainbows and you can create your own grid of LEDs. So it gets really advanced and it gets really simple too. So check that out if you haven't already. This is like my favorite library for Circuit Python. It's probably the most used library for Circuit Python. At least when it comes to cosplay projects. Well, I'm super excited. Now it's time for 3D printing. Pedro, you take over. Now it's 3D printing. There's quite a bit of parts for this. You're gonna require some supports for a bit of them. So just make sure you have your, the settings I do list down, the ones that I have for the cruelty printers. It should be a little bit universal in terms of what the size is for the supports and the extrusions for them and then the z-distance of the supports for that. I usually use, you can look at the settings there. But one of the question that I wanted to cover, somebody on the Discord was asking, the design, or the Fusion 360 file is that button right underneath Download STL. Yeah, let me just walk through this one. I like this, so this edit design button. So this is for every single one of our projects. Click on that. That's where it is. Right underneath that download STL button, you have two different options and inside of the design, you have a lot more options for the format of the design that you want to do. I opened it in a tab and this lets you preview the design before you download it. So this is all in the browser. This is all run through Autodesk's website. And then what you want to do, you can look around it, you can even do some fun things like exploding it if you want to see all the pieces and you can really get a good look at the design before you kind of play with it. There's a lot going on here, right? So what you want to do is up here, there's the download button and then there's all of these formats. You want to step, you want to sat, you want to FBX, STL, SketchUp, sure, no problem. The Fusion 360 archive is here. It'll ask you for your email and then it'll send you directly to your email and that's the way kind of this thing works. But also you can always just download the STLs if you just need those to print them out from the Thingiverse link. But yeah, this is how to kind of walk through this browser model editor. And then there's this button here open in Fusion 360. If you do have it, I think it'll download it and you bring it directly into Fusion 360. But there's a lot of stuff here. This is normally meant for folks that want to review things. You can mark up, annotate directly on this if you had like a design change for your client. That's really why Fusion has created that. But it's all done through their website. It's all interactive. And then the STL buttons, I think this is a direct link to Thingiverse. Yeah, so you can pick out any of the STL files or just download the entire thing as a bundle. Yeah, you can see here. Yeah, all the STLs are right there. Wonderful. So there you go. That is how to download the files. And as we were mentioning before, we have all of the support settings here. Some of the most notable ones is lowering the extrusion width for your supports. It's usually it's 0.4, chop that in half to 0.2. It'll make the, how thin the supports come out, which will make it a lot more easier to remove and it won't fuse with the geometry of the model. Support density always knocked it down all the way down to like four or six, depending on how much density you need. You don't need 10 or 20 or whatever the default support density is for that. And then the Z-Height 0.21, that's just some trial and error experimenting how far I could have the supports away from the geometry. Like the actual model, okay. It's important to have some sort of Z-Height here for your supports so that it's not fusing to the model interface. Now I kind of remember what this is. So it's just another, it's like a roof or a flooring layer. It's just want to turn that on. In support roof, I guess it goes hand in hand with the interface. Don't need the floor support, so you can leave that off. You don't need to have another additional bottom part for your supports to sit on top of. And then the pattern for that, zigzag. And then support roof pattern also, zigzag. So that's a good pattern. What are the patterns there? There's like grid or something? Grid, yeah. I think that one intends to, depending on the geometry of course. So you do want to experiment with that. But I found the zigzag to be pretty universal for some of the geometry. The main things to look at is like the density of your support, how far away is it from your model? And how do you have these roofs on or on? And do you have this exact pattern? Now this is all done in Cura, which is an open source software. You can use Prusa Slicer or something else. They should have extrusion width. Some of the terms might be different, but for the most part, they kind of have the same sort of terminology for the other slicers. But that's how Peter's got it. He's got a nice gif here too, showing the way the stepping through the layer lines looks like in the slicer. So that's cool. And then these are regular kind of PLA settings. 220 for the extruder, 0.2 layer height, 10% of the gyroid infill, that's our favorite infill pattern. And then some speed settings here, 60 and 60C temperature on the heated bed. But yeah, that's it. So cool. And I think that's everything for that part. Okay, yep. All the listing of all the different pieces you'll need there. Right. Yeah. Rat Wand. Nice code name, Rat Wand. Cool. And then the assembly page just really steps through getting all the screws and you kind of want to follow this chronologically, right? Yeah. Yeah. The thread, you have like special holes and stuff at the bottom there for routing your cable. Anything special about this? No, just follow it step by step and then just the way that the GST plugs in before you mount the CPX that the only thing is just the routing of the wires inside of the collet. You do do a little bit of threading, threading the needle, but no soldering here, that's really nice. Because it plugs directly into that connector on the back of the circuit playground. You are gonna need, I didn't count, but it's quite a bit of the M2.5 by six millimeter long or five millimeter long screws to attach everything. It feels like 20 of them. Yeah.  I think there's a joke comment too. It's like, do you need screws or something like that? It's a great comment. Yeah. Real quick, I could check. Okay, good. All right. And then once you get your circuit, does the circuit playground, it could be in any orientation? No, it's as long as it's facing up. There's only two ways to do it. Right. I don't have one here. Yeah, it's either the GST sticking out either this way or the other way. So you can't really get that wrong. That's either on this side or on this side. You can't really have it. It's symmetrical in that way. That the mount is symmetrical. So that's how it's working. Cool. And there is, like you were saying, there is an order operation. So you have to mount the CPX mount onto the collet before you mount the circuit playground itself. Because otherwise you don't have access to get into the screws. So that's the only downside of having it be all screws. It's the way it has to be. You just have to do it in that order. Cool. Good. And you document it well. Yep, attaching the domes. I'll have the dome first. I'll have it later in the other one. One of the things that did not document as well is the way that the access wire sort of wraps around the framing. Check it. There you go. So yeah, you'll be left with this access here. Oh, I see. I just wrap it around. The outside, like that. Did you notice that? What? It just goes right in there. You get that? Great use of that. Yeah, man. That's it. Now, like that. And how funny that they have all the JSC wiring all exposed in the prop. You wouldn't want a rat to bite one of those wires. The only other difficult part was the little grieblies for this. You want to have the screw go through the fake printed or the faux screws and then have that screw into the thing. You have that going into there. So screw it into the fake buttons and then screw that whole thing as one into the handle. Sweet. That's pretty much it. Oh, man. Your faux screws and whatnot. All right.  Oh, we forgot to insert that battery. So the battery goes in with the JST connector facing out. You can still pull it out, right? There's enough. Yeah. It's not super tight in there. I'm pretty sure of that because I did notice that some of the we have a bunch of different stock of batteries. One will be like a year up from the one that we got a year ago. One is more recent. It's a slight tolerance difference. Tolerance is due to change between suppliers. So it is like a 0.1, a little bit thicker. I remember when you were doing the prototype, you couldn't fit it all the way in. You was like, dang it, this battery died. And I pulled out another one. So you had to make it just that much bigger. So they would all fit. You've accommodated the diameter of the handle to fit all of the various sizes. Because I think the newer supplier is just a little bit thicker. So I had to make it the inside of the handle to accommodate that. Yeah. But that's the only change if we somehow change suppliers again. And it's thinner this time. You can go inside of the Fusion file and inside of the timeline. It is just a pull, push and pull command. So they just go inside there and either delete the 0.1, 0.15, where it makes it thicker, or just delete that in the timeline. Yeah. Or if you're crazy, you can integrate the contacts and have real AA batteries in there. That would be awesome, too. That's outside of our time frame. But yeah, that'd be really cool. All right. And that's a learn guide in a nutshell. We wanted to cover some of the nitty-gritty details as we like to do, because we think those are useful for folks. And let's go ahead and what else? Should we just go to the thing and read some stuff? Yeah, I love the fact that you were saying that the direct link was better, because it was taking them to the Fusion download page. I don't know. That link I grabbed is what that button is linked to. But maybe it does do that if you don't have it installed or something. But again, you can grab any format that you want and edit it in your favorite CAD package, even a Tinkercad. Yeah, for sure. All right. So that's this week's project. All right. So that's a fun cosplay project. Yeah, so tons of more stuff you can add to it, like interactivity with the accelerometer. There is a little built-in speaker on there, so you can have some sound effects going. And there's still more that you can do that, too, that, in terms of the colors and all that, too. Yeah, another thing I like about our props is we try to make it with very little finishing, so no sanding or painting. Yeah, I mean, you could still add all that in there. Like I was saying last week, there are some sort of textures on here that they show in the three scenes that it's in. But it's kind of hard to tell, and you can interpret that any way you want. You do have a layer-by-layer on, and do adding embosses to cylindrical objects. You can check that out and add it yourself. It kind of looks like a maze. I just ran out of time. These parts, I didn't list how long they take. It does take quite a while. Yeah, this one takes, yeah. I mean, it looks like it's just a cylinder. It's, you know, whatever, 120 millimeters tall. But yeah, that takes about four or five hours to print out. You don't want to skimp out trying to print it too fast, because then it'll become brittle. And then, you know, I did have that happen where I tried to print it too fast. Broke it over trying to show it off. Yeah, yeah, exactly.  Or just take, you know, the speed, just knock it down to like 60 or 50. And that should yield a very nice, strong, sturdy part. Cool, any questions? We'll take them, but most of your answers are, yeah. Throughout the show. Yep. Just a little comment on the cutie pie. Needs a reverse mount LED for ping-pong ball-sized knockoff. Okay, yeah. Yeah, I was actually thinking of adding like a neopixel on the backs of the entire thing would illuminate, but all we did was just use the natural PLA instead. And that, on the camera, it kind of illuminates it more. And in the dark too, you'll see a lot more illumination from there. It's just holding it sort of this way. It just looks small. Yeah, that's what you're looking at more. Even there, it looks pretty fully illuminated. But you could definitely... Does anyone else feel like this is like the motion controller from the PlayStation 3? Definitely looks like that. It's like get to a little and start doing your little interesting things. I wonder if that would work. Like if you could trick it in terms, for following, if it starts following that instead. Hello, is this a microphone? Hello? Hello? You've made your retcatcher. What are you gonna do next? I'm going to Disney. All right, so that's this week's project. Awesome work, Pedro. Another great circuit playground express project. And you can easily swap this out for blue fruit express. And do some blue tooth color changes in the facts. Oh, I think I know what they meant. Like have a cutie pie in there and it has like neopixel ring around it. Like it's suspended in the middle. Yeah, that would be really cool. Yeah. I think that feels like my other prop over here, this fire thing. Oh, yeah, this medieval fire torch. It kind of has a jewel in the inside of it. This is just prop hour now. There's a jewel in there and then there's like a a Gemma on the bottom of this little thing. And there's a fan inside. I think I took the battery out. But yeah, the battery. Yeah, I took the battery out. But yeah, that's fun.  So you should do a whole show of just the props. Right, all the Halloween props is together. All right. I think that's it for this project. Excellent. All the links are there. Yeah. Just go ahead and jump into this week. What are we prototyping? All right, we're kind of still experimenting with CNC milling. So here's what I got for you folks this week. So I've been playing around with a lot of wood, CNC milling wood. And here it just is. This is a CNC milled panel for a Raspberry Pi case. The design is something that is inspired from the Apple Mac Pro that came out a couple of years ago. And it's a 3D spherical pattern that is milled using a ball nose flat end. No, flat end, come on. A ball nose end mill. That's this tool that looks like a drill bit, but it has somewhat like this, a curved thing, which I got and I be like, what can I do with this? So I figured, oh, the best thing to do is to make something that's spherical like that. And that's what prompted me to try this out. So it's a two-part mill, so I firstly do this part. And, oh man, I forgot to, I edited a video of it milling and I, whatever, I'll share it on my socials. But yeah, the thing here was to figure out what's a good project for my ball nose mill because that's what people do. So I came up with this thing here. A couple, probably like a couple months after the Mac Pro came out, I wanted to model it up and I did and I printed it. But more as like a bit of like a, just to see how it would print, right? So I did this, so this is 3D printed, you know. Sure, it's 3D printed, you could do that, that's great. But I really, really wanted to try out how do I mill this thing because the real Mac Pro grill is milled out of aluminum. This just kind of looks like aluminum and forget aluminum, I want wood. So I wanted to see how this would work in wood. And I came up with some interesting techniques in the cam workspace in Fusion 360 to make this up repeatable pattern so that I'm not spending an hour calculating the tool paths for like just do all of it, you know, especially when you're using the adaptive clearing, which is an operation in the cam workspace. Like if you just tell the model, you just tell the operation, like, hey, figure it out. It literally couldn't, maybe 20 minutes I sat there and I'm like, okay, this isn't gonna work. So I had to do one and then repeat that and then figure out how to make the pattern work and then flip it. I'm using an alignment bracket and that way it's perfectly lined up. But yeah, it's pretty interesting technique in terms of cam. I'm coming up with this type of shape. So let me show you the actual case. This is like a PC tower inspired case for my Raspberry Pi 4. I have a fan here and another fan here mounted. This, yeah, and this is a Stemma OLED display. I don't have a connector right now so I need to give it power, but this would show the IP and the temperature of the CPU. But you have all the access to all the USB, ethernet, and then this panel goes in here like that and then you have holes here for the audio micro HDMI and the USB-C. So this will be a bit of a Pi project and it also has a 3D printed handle with a printed place hinge, because why not? But yeah, this whole piece here is all 3D printed and I've just been experimenting with different methods of coming up with these grills or these side panels. It's about four millimeters thick. And this was all milled on the Bantam tools PCB mill. Man, this took a couple hours to mill out. Yo, this took six hours on three hours here. All night long, three hours here. Yeah, this however only takes about three hours. Oh no, what happened, camera? Woo, there you go. And here is like the original kind of plate. So that would go like here. And that looks cool too, but man, it's really fun to get like a new piece of tool, a new piece of equipment and you're like, what can I do with it? And then you end up with like something that looks just gorgeous and a different type of material, completely different method. Like there's nothing complicated here, other than like modeling, but figuring out how to model this. There's tutorials out there, some folks have figured out how to do it. I'll probably do tutorials as well, but it was really cool to take this simple print and then like figure out how to program the toolpaths for your machine. And to do an aluminum one next, just for heat transfer and all that. For when it be a lot more cooler, especially on this side where the fan is. And I love the factor is asking, do all of your CAM efforts live in the native Fusion file? Absolutely, that's why I really like Fusion 360 because it's just- Not only does it set up your CNC toolpaths, but all of the electronic components that Lamar designs is an eagle and it's all one app now. It really is nice, yeah. But yeah, all the CAM stuff is done in Fusion and that's really great. That I don't have to switch between two different apps to do my CAM stuff because when I make a change in the design, it reflects in the toolpaths. Beyond that, it's the same team programming at Autodesk that is fusing all of the Fusion, fusioning all of this together. Fusioning the Fusion, yeah. This is unfinished. This is completely off of the bed. I wanna add some shellac to it to really pop this out. But this is walnut material. I wanted to do some cherry because like apple cherry wood sounds funny. But I ran out of some. Oh no, I still have some cherries. Just I had this piece ready to go and I just surfaced it and got it to the right length. And I was like, all right, I'm ready to cut this up. And it was super fun. But yeah, I'll release the STLs and stuff once I get some time to- Get everything finalized. It's pretty finalized, we just need to- At least the printed file is good to go. Yeah, by the way, these are heat set inserts right there. Big ups from, or shout outs from Torabayato, Torabayato, on the using the thumb screws as feet. Oh gosh, yes. I should have three prints and a little ninja flex pads. These are so great and they're purple. I know I love this. They're from, I bought them from Amazon. I think the vendor is called like UNI's- Like a finite? UX cell, UX cell, they letter U, the letter X and then cell. I should probably- They tend to do a lot of screws and stuff. But these are so great because they're atomized, something like that. Thumb screws, they're really, really chunky and have a knurling. They're not cheap. I think it's like- Yeah, for 10 pieces, it's a- 12 bucks for one of them. That's not too bad. Yeah, and it's M3 and they're really good quality. Suggest these. Yeah, I would love to. Added to the store. Yeah, because they're like Python purple, right? Yeah, yeah. Added the link in the Discord, if you guys want to check them out.  You know what's funny? Yes, for sure. You know what's funny is, I actually use this as my media center for my TV and my bedroom. That's why you need all the fans on there and streaming apps. Yeah, I don't need all the fans, but I just, I have access to all of them. No, you're gonna need them. I tried doing the braincraft hat projects. I tried not enabling the fan. Bad idea. That's funny. It killed the SD card. This is one of the knock to a fans, too, which is the best type of fan to get, because it's super quiet. And look at the color scheme. It matches it perfectly. You get this peach color. And Nikaloway is suggesting to use raspberry wood. Raspberry wood, huh? For the raspberry pie. It's like a bush. Right?  But yeah, very fun. I've seen other designs. By the way, this is like inspired. I didn't come up with this. Very popular raspberry pie. Yeah, I did design it all myself, right? I just saw inspired by these PC tower cases with an OLED display on there. And this really shows the project when it's all done. It'll be like a good promotion for Blinka, which is the circuit Python libraries working on a Python on a raspberry pie and other single board computers. So you can just connect up your stemma boards directly to your pie with one of these hats. And then you can do I squared C over it. And the OLED has the temperature of the CPU and the IP address and some other things that you can display. So that's all fun to do, especially in your pie case. Lots of good uses for pie servers still. And yeah, why not make a really fun, fancy case and learn some new skills? Yeah. The Love Factory is asking about the Bantam tools. Is there a tool change option? I don't think there is. You could probably make one. But yeah, I just mainly change up the tool. There are some new CNC's on the market that have these built-in tool changes. Which is so cool. But I really like my Bantam. I had it here last week. It's just really compact and small. But there's some other things on the market, like the Nomad 3. And oh boy, there's some other ones. Like the Snapmaker, I think is another one. So you can check those out as well. And maybe Bantam will get their PCB mail back in stock at some point, we'll see. But yeah, that's the, what am I, prototyping project. And yeah, any questions, any comments? See, oh, any updates on the 2 or 3 amp version of the power boost? If there's any hold up on it, it's probably, it might be supply, getting the components in. And there's a couple other projects that are being worked on. I think, I already mentioned Eight of Box. Subscribe to the Eight of Box, because that's what's being worked on next for Halloween. Yeah, Eight of Box. You gotta look at some of the- I need to start the voting now. You got 21 days until the next box ships. Yeah, we got a couple of previews of what the next component is gonna be. It's a Halloween crop, it looks so cool. It's amazing. Definitely sign up if you are not a subscriber. Yeah, nice little segue into that. Yeah, right, thanks. All right, I think that's it for prototyping. Yay. I don't have much of a shop talk. We kinda talked a lot. You pretty much bled into the shop talk. All right, sorry. Oh, and Yanni on the Discord is- There is? Posting a link to the Raspberry Jam. Is this wood? Is this real wood? Looks like it. Common name is Raspberry Jam. That's crazy. We're gonna have to order some of this wood just for this. Is it machinable?  This looks a lot like- Look at this. Chillact, not Chillact. Oh, that's awesome. This is really cool. This really looks like a- The end screen really looks like this Purple Heart stuff. Here, remember last week? I love how we just get into these weird things. Like, look at the, doesn't that look like Raspberry Jam? Yeah, that looks almost. Come on, Focus. Hold that for me right there. There you go, look at that. That's Purple Heart wood. It is a lot more dramatic looking on the camera. Again, I haven't finished it. I haven't sprayed it in the last year. Maybe you shouldn't. At least this one. I think I will, because I have a bunch of them. Maybe just one. Oh, okay, yeah. But look at that. That's Purple Heart wood. It's so nice. I need to research this, but I heard somebody say like it could be poisonous to some animals and humans, but like it's readily available on the Inventables website. That's where I get all my wood because they tend to surface it for you already. And like, they're a big brand and I trust them because like I've already spent money with them. So, and they never, they ship pretty early. But yeah, there's your Raspberry Jam right there. It's Purple Heart. But hey, this looks great too. You shouldn't get it. Because the grain just reminds you of those like little holes and stuff like that. Like that's what reminds me of the sun grain here. Here's a piece of purple right now. Oh, E, yeah, here's the purple. Look how purpley it is. It's not colored. It really is purpley like that. Yeah, at first I thought it was like stained. You should have called this Raspberry, come on. Sorry, I forgot to turn the focus off. Yeah, maybe I'll use this material to make one of these. What do you think? It's like right on the thing right there. And then a tip from Duestor saying that the red screws are $4 cheaper and fit a little bit more to the Pi theme. The wit screws? The thumb screws, the red color. Oh, they are red ones, yeah. I got purple because I thought- Oh, Blinka, yeah. Our show has a lot of purple. But yeah, get the red ones. I'm glad you're looking at that. Red looks really good too. Like I was gonna put thumb screws here too but I think these socket ones just look better because I got a couple of these right in different colors. I didn't get red though. All right, well that is shop talk. We talked in the shop. All right, let's go ahead and jump into this week's community makes. Oh god, we have so many community makes this week. So let me queue up my get up here. I mean, I have the communicator so you might as well put this on here. All right, so this week we 3D printed a kit. The Visor from Star Trek Next Generation. This is a really awesome kit that you can 3D print. Request from Star Trek fan PT. Yeah, super cool way method to print this out. The grid is printed flat and then it curves. Just do the time lapse. We can take this apart, I guess if you want. We have another one right there that you can take apart. And it's by Michael Jones, the designer, Michael Jones. This is the fellow's name who posted up on Thingiverse. Very, very cool kit that's like, it's one of the easier kits to print. This is me wearing it by the way. Yeah, I've seen a couple of these models go up but it's always been, you know, all completely assembled. So it's printing these on the Z. And what you were saying before, pop these out. I like how these are printed. Oh, I think these are. Oh, you glued it? No, it's just that the press fit for this is like super, super tough. All right, got you, sir. It's called the Spudger tool. It's one of our favorite tools. We love it so much that we stock it in the store just search for Spudger. It's gonna say post link. Oh yeah, let me do that. Sponsored by? I don't think it's gonna do it. Sponsored by?  I go to the red. Oh, is it there? I'm gonna sell there, yeah. I'm just gonna rip it out like that. Oh, that's cool. But yeah, just the thinness of the, what that's attached to. It's regular PLA, non-ninja flex because it's so thin, you can make these type of geometries and shapes with PLA and you can curve it out. It's got a bit of a non-linear shape here. Like it comes to curve a little bit, just I think to help. Have it go inside the slot inside the slot. Yeah, there's a little groove in there, a little channel and this is printed in that lovely goldish PLA, no finishing at all, right? There's some glitter, there's some flakes of glitter integrated into the filament. So you get that nice shine and none of this was finished. So it just prints. Flat like that? Yeah, as we showed you in the time lapse. So let me pull up Michael Jones's, is it Michael Jones? Yeah, Michael Jones. Maybe it's a semen in him or something. But here, by the way, here's the spudger tool. It's a great little prying tool, double-sided prying tool. All right, but let's go to the thing averse page. Here is unmatrixed red is the handle. Michael Jones is this handle, but look at these photos of the. And there's a couple different versions of the visor piece there. You can see there's three different ones. So you can choose your design. Cool, different grids, grills, if you will. And they all look super cool. Yeah, and they all print without any supports, I think. Oh, no, no supports. This is all flat. Yeah, that's great. There was like another part, if you go to the all pieces there, that I didn't print that part. I don't know if it's needed. Oh, the top and the bottom parts. Yeah, I don't think it's needed, maybe. I'll be honest. I don't really, I'm not like a huge Star Trek fan. I appreciate the theme and everything, but don't hate me. De Wester's suggesting that adding magnets to your skull, because I'm guessing that's how these attach to a Jordan Ford. Oh, to my skull, huh? Yeah. No, here's how I'm wearing it. So we're using these big rubber bands. Yeah, and you just tie them off to these little. Yeah, tie them off and then bumper bits, so a little. Because my hair's black, you can't even see it, because it kind of bleeds into it. But yeah. So these have like some sort of coating on it too, so it's not like ripping out your hair or your skin. Yeah, so you think this is cool? All right, well you haven't seen nothing yet, because we're kicking it off with a little remakes of this. I think it's a remakes. So cool. Maybe it's from our store rigs. He printed one up and added LEDs with a Qtify in it. Again, store rigs, you come up with the best remakes. This is so freaking cool. This is great, you ready for it folks? I don't think folks are ready.  Look how well it's diffused as well. Like the grill really makes it diffused. Now Stuart, I have questions, of course I do. Can you still see out of it? Like does it blind you a little bit? It looks like it's facing outwards. So like with the Daft Punk helmet, made it face outwards so you can see through it. Yeah. And the buttons on the side, such a fine, great, you have different modes. You can put integrated buttons. So it's got a Qtify in it. Not sure if it's the Rp41 or the same D1, it doesn't matter. But yeah, Stuart did an awesome job. As I said in the tweet, like please insert, submit this to the Hackaday audio contest. This is definitely qualifies. Some exposure and maybe potentially win. Yeah, some more effort stuff. So you can get some more props. Digi key stuff too. Also I'm curious what, there's just hundreds of different styles, layouts of NeoPixel strips. I'd love to know which one is this one. Is it the ones that are facing out or is it just your normal NeoPixels? I think we do have those super skinny ones too. Right, the mini skinnies, I wonder if those are big news. But in any manner, like Stuart figured it out and it's just an amazing effect. I'd never seen the visor be lit up like that. It's like a first I've ever seen. So shoot shout out to you, sir. To Stuart and Mike Jones for putting it together. I think it's the same model. This is what's awesome about the open source. This is what we release, this is what we release all the designs, all the code, because you can always add more stuff on top of it that makes it even cooler than it was before. Should get pips too. So awesome. It's very cool. All right, we got more community makes, so let's step through them all before we look through them. And the Discord, discord.gg slash Adafruit, Stuart's in there and he is listing out it's the small NeoPixels in the Qtify with a push button and an on and off button. Yeah, he had to reduce the brightness. Of course he did. Yeah, yeah, those are so bright. But even at the lowest brightness, it's still pretty bright. It just picks an upgrade on the camera too, which is excellent. All right, we're ready for the next one. Yeah, it was like the Cypher option. Pretty close, but not quite. All right, let's look at the next one. This is one of the first makes, I think of this, maybe not the first make. This is a make of the- The Darksaber. Come on, the Darksaber from the Mandalorian. This is a really excellent remix because Thinkiverse user Ectotainment added more buttons and functionality to it. So if you could see the hilt, you can see the hilt here has a bigger on off switch and these two left and right buttons that changes the mode. I guess I'm not like, yeah, the mode. Yeah, so here it is all lit up as a rainbow. Looks really nice. And here's the hilt modified. Oh, that looks so good. I don't know, are those like three different buttons? Like the embosses around it, looks so cool. So if you are looking to make a Lightsaber or a Darksaber, this is one of my favorite Lightsaber builds because the blade is completely 3D printed and it has like this integrated channel for the NeoPixel strips. In the description, it says a really nice kit. I added a battery switch and two buttons to change the color mode for custom code. Parts print great with no supports and they fit together nicely. The only issue I had was printing the black blade covers, which didn't stick to my bed. I wish the handle secured to the coupler a little bit more firmly. I added some hot glue here. Thanks, printed on a CR-10 cruelty. Wonderful, wonderful. So really, really psyched about that because that was one heck of a project to build. Excellent, let's keep moving. Next up, I hope you like LEGO compatible stem up plates. This is a remix of the LEGO base plates for the stem of boards. Thing of our scissor here, cord-y-la came up with one for the new SCD-40 slash SCD-30. This is that air, CO2 air quality sensor from Sensori on. This is a brand new board that came out and that's why this fellow wanted to make it so that it's compatible with some LEGO parts. You can stick this base plate and it has these mounting holes and pegs. No screws necessary, just a little bit of glue to tie these two things together and you can have some LEGO compatible boards that work with your LEGO compatible builds.  I don't think a verse. All right, we have more makes. Come on, keep going. All right, here's another one here from I2 and this is a little bracket for holding the Raspberry Pi Octo-Print rig. So if you have an Octo-Pi setup and you wanna have a touchscreen built into the Pi itself, you can build one of these and then come up with all sorts of different bracket solutions. This is a very popular project, it's been out for a minute and lots of folks have made fun remixes to fit their setups and that's what I'd like to see. All right, from there, we have two more makes here. This one here, we're coming back onto the Macro Pad. Luciana, thank you for posting your make of the printed place stand. There was a little thing here, my hinges were too loose, probably because I printed it in the low res. To tighten things up, I added some E6000, so there you go, and have some rubber bumpers on the bottom too. Looks great in red. Excellent. Yeah, it's always tough to get printed place things. I tend to make them a little bit loose because I don't want it to fuse, but hey, glue's good too. Here is a Macro Pad case, Bill. This is a JP's design, JP designed this one, and Thingiverse uses your nascent maker, posted their make of it up. Look at these really nice smoky glass keys, they look great. And this is a really excellent design by John Park, and it has these really nice edges and stuff like that, and the filament, always great, glitter filament. And again, printed on a Krill T, Ender 3. I think everybody's got these Enders, which is great. Hey man, it's a good price. It is, good quality. I think that's everything, yeah. Excellent, well thank you to everybody for posting your makes, and yeah, quick question from the Low Factory Subtract, step files from a project to get Snap Fit to NeoPixels, is that easy? Yeah, I suppose you could. Like if you were to open the Fusion 360 thing, you can always right click on any of the components and say export as a step. Yeah. And then a suggestion from Foramito on the Twitch, saying to try out some epoxy for the keycaps. Mmm, is it a resin? Yeah, resin, epoxy resin. Mmm, yes. We were told to stay away from that because Amar had a tough time, and she really likes the UV resin. I'm guessing we're like a protection. Oh, okay, UV resin. Because it cures without having the two-part thing. I think they mean to add some protection over it. Oh, I see, okay. Yeah, oh, the wood keycaps. Yeah, the wooden keycaps. Yeah, that's a good idea, yeah. I'm getting some Sherlock on order, and I wanna spray it, because I don't like painting. I'm gonna try to spray it. Is it easier if the NeoPixels are native Fusion file? Yeah, that's a good thing. It's kind of difficult to model up the NeoPixels, because first of all, there's just so many variants of it. I might have a tutorial on coming up with your own parametric strip thing. Sometimes you wanna do that, most times you don't. As long as you have a channel, you just kinda measure it with your calipers. That's what I do, I just get the height, the clearance for the thickness of the LED, and that's gonna change. And they're all different, yeah. Depending on which strip you're using, there's so many variants. So when I'm making the channel for the Darksaber, I had to measure, and I had to stick to that style of strips, I'm like, okay, this is many skinny, so I need to keep it within this width diameter and the thickness diameter of the channel. So yeah, and you kinda wanna have a little bit of a gap there, so that you have a little bit of a wiggle room, otherwise it'll just not work sometimes, right? Yeah, it can be a little tricky sometimes. All right, we gotta get outta here and close the show, but thank you everybody for coming in and hanging out with us. Don't forget tonight is Show and Tell and Ask an Engineer. Show and Tell starts at 7.30 p.m. Eastern time, and shortly after that, it's Ask an Engineer with Amar Phil. New projects. I know Amar's taking a part. Yeah. It looks kinda weird like that, huh? Yeah, so we gotta be mad at here. And then real quick, Rodson is saying another suggestion for the cooking oil, or yeah, the... Just some cooking oil. Butcher block oil. Butcher block oil, yeah, that's a good one too. I wanna try out that maker finish from the Modern Maker folks. They have like a wood-based, there's some linseed, I think linseed oil is a good one. Yeah. If you have enough caps, you should try one different. For everyone, yeah. Yeah. That's funny. Cool. All right, we're gonna see you tonight. Thanks, Jimmy Hendrickson. Yeah, we'll see you tonight on another Show and Tell. Don't forget, if you wanna get, if you wanna participate into it, all you gotta do is... Go to the Discord. Yeah, get on the Discord. The invite link for that is discord.gg slash Adafruit. You can go there. And then in the live broadcast chat room, P.T. Phil, Mr. Lady Aida. He will post in the stream yard link. You click on that link and open that in a new tab and make sure your webcam and microphone are all ready to go and you wanna mute until you are called upon. And that's how you get invited. You just click on a link. Yeah. All right, it's gonna do it for us. Full week of shows. Yep. I got John Park's workshop tomorrow. I got Deep Dive with Scott. Yep, every Friday at 2 p.m. And then Desk of Lady Aida. Saturdays and Sundays at Maker Hacker time, sometimes eight, sometimes nine, sometimes 10. There you go. She's all over the place. And then we'll start the week off with JP's Pride at Pick of the Week. I forget to tune in for, I believe it's 50% off on some of the picks for the week. So definitely tune in every single week for that. That's right. That's gonna do it for us. I think that's it. All right, folks. We want the 3D Hangouts. Oh yeah, 3D Hangouts happens every Wednesday at whatever time, 11 a.m. Thanks, folks. See you later tonight. Make a great day. Make a great day. Yay, we did it. All right, bye, folks. See you tonight.
