Hello! Hey, what's up, everybody? Welcome back to another 3D Hangouts. My name is Noeva Ruiz. I'm a designer here at Eaterfruit. Joining me every week is my brother Pedro. Good morning, everybody. I'm Pedro. It's creative tech here at Eaterfruit. Every week we're here to share three printed projects featuring electronics from Eaterfruit. That's right. This is a show we combine 3D printing and DIY electronics to make inspirational projects. Hello, everybody. Welcome to the show. This is episode 414. It is Wednesday, September 20th, 2023. Woo! We are streaming live on all the platforms and we're hanging out in the Discord server. The link for that is discord.gg slash Eaterfruit. Got a link up in the little bar graphic that we have. We're going to give some shout-outs to folks that are joining us live. We're also streaming on all of the social channels. Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Twitch, and Twitter, formerly known as Twitter. I always want to say Twitter. It's where you use it on the toilet. All right. Well, good morning, everybody. Let me guess. Everybody hanging out all over the world. Razan, we got Is This Discord? Yes. Yes, it is Discord. Connor, Nikita. Good morning, everybody. Hanging out all over the world. Thanks for joining us. And shout-out to everybody watching us on the archive. All right. We'll start off with the housekeeping stuff. Look at the freebies. We got a coupon code. And then we'll take kind of a demo of this week's project. Yes. And lots of other segments that you might know about. All right. Let's start off with Adafruit.com. Let's get all the details on this week's deals and more. If you spend more money with Adafruit, you'll get some freebies starting off with an order of $99 or more to get a free PCB coaster with a golden Adafruit logo. If your order is $149 or more, you'll get the PCB coaster plus an Adafruit KB2040. That's that lovely dev board with the RP2040 chip. If your order is $199 or more, you'll get the KB2040 PCB coaster plus free UPS ground shipping for continental U.S. only. And if your order is $299 or more, you'll get the free shipping, the KB2040, the PCB coaster, and a Metro M7. That's that lovely new Arduino shaped dev board. It's a collab dev board with DigiKey and NXP. That's right, the Adafruit Metro 7. Get them while supplies last. All of these deals automatically get added to your cart. No need for any special coupons on that one. But we also have a coupon this week, coupon code SYNTHIO.  And yeah, you can use it on anything in the Adafruit shop. Anything that's physical. And that is this week's coupon code and weekly free deals. And we had a little segment on the newsletter, but I'll just post a link on that. You can subscribe to all the wonderful newsletters we have. I think the biggest one is the Circuit Python one, as well as the Maker Business. We have a three printing one. All is wearables. What else? I'm missing a couple. There's a whole slew of them, Maker Business. Yeah, you can go to Adafruitdaily.com and check out all of the newsletters there. Get updated on the weekly. Yeah. Okay. Well, this week's project is a synth guitar. We'll take a look at it in just a second. Paige has got it. I have one too. This is a fairly big build. There's a lot of components. It's a collab project with Liz Clark. She did the code. It's using Circuit Python. And the new synth IO library to create a super cool synthesizer. In the form factor of a guitar, we are still kind of, we're on the last like, we got the last like 5% to do on the learn guide. So it's kind of under moderation right now. But this week it should definitely get released. Hopefully later today, maybe tomorrow. But definitely this week, I can do some demos. So the whole body of the guitar is 3d printed. It's about this big. It's fairly large. It has a strong mechanism that you might be familiar with if you have played guitar hero. So it's got that similar type of strong mechanism. It's got three rotary encoders. So you can modulate the sound using synth IO. It's got an on off button here. So let me power it on. It has two of the one by four NEO key, QT mechanical key switches PCB. So they have RGB LEDs. It has an onboard speaker. So the speaker is actually in the head of the guitar, which is pretty cool. And what else? It's using the RP 2040 prop maker feather. So not just for props. It's a really good dev board for making audio projects, which is this one. So there are a couple of different modes. You got these toggle switches to switch between the strum mode and kind of just free play mode. So that's, let me see if I can hold it up and kind of give it a little demo. So you have a volume. You have digital volume control using the rotary encoder. You have control over the LFO, which is making that kind of tremolo style of effect.  And then you can change the octave of the note by adjusting the last rotary encoder. And then because it has a built in accelerometer, you can change the kind of filter. So let me demo that. So right now it's in free play mode. So if I use this switch, I can turn on the strum mode. So you can combine all those together. There's, I forgot to mention, there's a neopixel stick in the middle here. So that just kind of changes colors depending on what note you press and all that is adjustable in the code because it's all circuit Python. It's running off of some AA batteries that we have here. So it's very much like a kind of like a consumer, you know, product. We wanted to be able to kind of quickly change out the batteries. So we figured double AA batteries would be nice for the kiddos too. So that's kind of the demo. It's pretty cool. We'll have the design files in the code available in the learn guide. But yeah, I modeled the size of it to fit on an Ender 3 3D printer. So that's like a 250 cubed. So it should fit on most mid-sized 3D printers. Yeah, it's kind of a big build because there's a lot of components. But the RP2040 prompt maker feather makes it easier to wire because it's got a lot of screw block terminals for the neopixels, the speaker button, that sort of thing. There's also StemAQT cables. So that's how they're all daisy-jane together. So that reduces the wiring by a lot. So that's really nice. But again, there's a lot of components. Eight total key switches. You got a neopixel in there. You have three rotor encoders. You have two toggle switches. On and off button. You have microswitches for the Strom. A lot of components, but it's a good example of like just how much you can integrate into like a custom synthesizer using SynthIO. Yeah, it's quite a list. If you want to build one of these, you got to start filling up the cart now. There's so many components that are required. Not just the components themselves, but like the hardware. So glitter from the side screws to get everything to fit nicely. And then all of the cables. So make sure you go through all of the parts list for that. Yep. I also forgot to mention that it has a TRRS audio jack. Yeah. So you can switch between the onboard speaker and audio out through that TRRS jack. We think that's good for headphones. And if you want to use like an audio interface and like a DAW setup so that you can add more effects with your digital workspace audio digital audio workstation. That's Winnie over there. Guest star Winnie today. She's hanging out. Hi, Winnie. She just meowed. I think she wants me to play more guitar. Maybe not. So we're on the final stage of the learn guide. We'll try to get that out this week. It's a big one. Big assembly page. Yeah. Yeah. It's got a lot, but we've been talking about it now for the past two, three weeks or so. And yeah. Definitely warranted for the build time and size. Yeah. It's got a lot of tricks that are pretty big and they take about four weeks to kind of develop. So develop document and iterate. So. And it takes a while to print. One of the top half of the body, depending on your printer, right? Mine took like 15 hours to print. No, that's, that's exactly. But no support material on anything. Everything's bolted together with screws. I don't think I use glue anywhere. I use double sided tape for like the overlay. Yeah. And you have all sorts of different colors you can use. Yeah. A lot of screws. Yeah. What else? As far as the products go. Each of those in here. We will get more stocks of the prep maker feathers. Yeah. They're still in stock, but most of the other components are in stock, which is nice. The new keys and the rotary encoders. We'll share more. Learn guide. Yeah. Well, I should probably go through the learn guide next week. So it's a little have time to it for it to get. Moderated by the team. I'm sure missing some stuff. Like you mentioned screws. I'm like, oh yeah, I didn't add the screws. So I have to have like a list of screws. There's like. I need to. M2. M2 five. I am out of the M3 by 20. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. For the strums, the strong mounts, they need those long. Those long boys. I need to get more of those. Yep. Cool. So you might. Remember a similar project. We actually did a MIDI controller. Using cherry MX. Key switches, but it's a MIDI controller. It doesn't make sound on its own. So. Yeah. Liz thought it was a good idea to make it a standalone instrument. That generate sound.  We just got the Cynthia fundamentals guide. Release this week or last week. And. This will be a good. Way to. Showcase Cynthia. We think. Yeah. And the prop maker feathers, just a really good. Dev board, the solid one. You got the accelerometer. You got the screwback terminals, new pixel driver. And that I2S. Digital audio amplifier. It's really nice for these audio projects. I like it when you just. Are you done yet? I know, right? She's like, I want food. I posted a link to the MIDI guitar. If you want. I don't know if it's any easier. Probably not as many. I think it's the same because each individual key is wired.  And it uses a grand central. I forgot to do that. Geez. But people have remixed the guitar to do like a USB game controller for guitar hero. So that's cool. Oh, it's going to hit with the kids. Of course they like being able to generate the own sounds out of there and with the headphones, definitely parent friendly so they can jam out. And it has an audio volume so you can change volume. Yeah. You got the volume as well. Customization of course can go in there. Pick any of the many different types of rotary knobs called caps, knobs, knobs. Yeah. And we have metal ones. We have all these different colored plastic ones. So many keys. We have like all these different key colors and shapes and sizes for that. So lots of customization options for your guitar. Yeah. Yeah. Even the keys, there's all sorts of different style of. Yeah. There's a cherry reds. Yeah, because they don't have the most of those. I don't want to use all the clicky ones on that. And it's got sockets so you can easily pop them out and change them out if you want. So that's cool. Yeah. Yeah, we stock these really nice clear key caps. So I figured I'd use those instead of 3D printing my own. But you could do that too. Yeah. And these are the type where the bottom comes off so you can 2D print any of your graphics on there. 2D printing. Yeah. Of course, it's not going to come off now that I want to. But this comes off and you can insert a little printed piece on it. Re-legendable. Exactly. Yeah. And then you just pop right on. Yeah. I didn't even solder these in. So you can go ahead and completely customize your keys as well. Yeah, you're not supposed to solder them in. Oh, yeah. Well, good thing I didn't. Look here. How would you solder them in? So here's what that looks like.  But here it is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can customize that. I think you uploaded the template too, right? So you have the actual, the square. Yeah. Those are from the Emoji keypad, aren't they? Yeah. Yeah. They reuse it. I had to, because we were at a stock of the 1x4 Neo keys. So a good way to get previous project and put it in something. Evolve it into this project. You can kind of still see, there's the emoji. Yeah, there's dog, cat, TV. What else can we say? I guess we'll save it for next week. Yeah, we'll save it for next week. That was just a demo overview of the project fully featured. Yeah, it's still customizable. Yeah. Yeah, you could change the notes and all that in the code. Cool. So it just plugs in. Well, most of the things just plug in. Yep. Cool. Let's go ahead and jump into this week's, I guess, filler project. Filler project.  We're going to do a little countdown of some of the ones that we did before. Lamar had an idea of just doing like a countdown of the top Halloween. Three print ideas are starting off with some of the decor stuff. So it's a past project on doing a servo, a creepy hand. We're doing three printed. We're using a, I believe it was just a DC motor and using the flexible filament here. We do have a couple of spools and stock in the Adafruit shop for the flexible, I believe it's the peach color. We'll just use them brown here. And it's the 85A. So it's super flexible. The way we're assembling the hand, we have a little servo mount where it goes into. A little horn, which is going to let it do its little motion. Then the DC motor slide switch and a battery pack. You can get all the parts. I believe I linked everything in the Thingiverse file for that. Let's open up my other notes. I should have put this in the previous notes. Yeah. Yeah. It's a good list of parts here. Just some simple stuff. No microcontroller. Just the battery and a motor. The switch. Let me jump in too. Let's see if I can share. It's a good example of like upcycling or remixing a current prop. It doesn't have to be re-rendered. It'll be something that you buy from like a Spirit Halloween store. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Good point. Like add some movement creepiness to a otherwise dead static prop. Let's see where is my Thingiverse? There it is. All right. So you can get the files here and here's the servo mount, the horn, and of course the creepy hollowed at hand. It is a remix from this guy here. I think it was Phil who wanted to have like a creepy hand. I'm like, oh, add a servo to that. So just using mesh mixer and made a, I believe it's a two millimeter thickness around there. You can probably do like 1.2. So you can be like super flexible and not use as much filament because you don't need too much. And with the Ninja Flex, it is pretty sturdy. So you're not going to, it's not going to rip on you or break as easy. Yep. Back to that. All right. So the way that it's all wired up is we're just inserting a slide switch in between the power.  Of course, the battery pack does have an on and off switch as well. But what we're going to do is route this slide switch to the outer part of his wrist here. It's going to easily turn that on and off and everything just slides into the wrist part because we hollowed it out. And it is, I believe it is a nine volt battery that is in there. So you're going to need that nine volt regular battery. And what I forgot to mention is the thing that it's holding is this, these guts. So again, PT really likes the gore stuff from, come on, what's that filmmaker? Not one dude. Cronenberg? Yes, Cronenberg. Let's see. Yeah. The learn guide loaded already, but there is a whole learn guide on modeling the guts and making a iPhone battery case for it. So what that is is a, it's hollowed out so you can have wires going through as you can plug in your phone. And then we have the top part to plug into one of those lipstick batteries. So that's all that is there. Next one is this little piece of Jack Lanter decor. He made this one Noah. It is Jack the pumpkin king. It's a dual extruded, a little like T light holder.  I don't remember how I made this. I think I got an SVG of Jack Skellington and like punched it out or something. Yeah. I don't know. You did it. I remember. Well, I did like five, six years ago. But yeah. All right. Next up. Yeah. Next up is, I believe this, this pumpkin. I think it's from Halloween, right? The, the Halloween Friday, Mike Myers. I'm not sure. Pumpkin skull. Yeah. Same technique of using a coin cell with the breakout to hook up some LEDs. You don't have to 3D print this. You can just like you were saying before to get one from Spirit, but of course you get a printer. Go ahead and print this guy out. All I did was again use mesh mixer to hollow out the pumpkin. This one's pretty thick. So I would hollow it out even more. And we're just using the coin cell battery here to solder up the LEDs. It's a coin switch. And that's it. Yeah. This is the 10 millimeter diameter LEDs. They're diffused. So they look nice on the edge. Then we have, I believe the three millimeter LED black LEDs and this one are UV LEDs in this wolf skull. We're using the glow in the dark film in here to give it a nice little glowiness to it. And these are, we have a couple of these that are usually in the yard. Same technique here. Just using the breakout with the slide switch. And then a nice little crafty technique of taking the LED leads and wrapping it around. So you don't have to use as much glue to actually hold it in place where the eyeballs go. This was an excellent model by, I think it was kit bash. Still find all their stuff on. I think it was pin shape or pin shape. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's still available. That's still kicking. Still kicking. I did add a, I believe it's a, not a 220. Uh, 2012 or something like that. Yeah. Pretty low resistance. Just to lower down the, the lights on there. You don't want to be super bright. Oh. You may not need them to be super bright. Okay. Cool. And that was quick little three printed Halloween decor ideas. Yeah. They're all, they're all, uh, simple in the terms of no, no microcontrollers on any of them. Just LEDs and a battery. Some of them have motor. Pretty cool. Um, yeah. All good examples of, uh, adding a little bit of light and motion to, to your props. Yeah. Whether or bot or just a quick little edit to a three print that always are already exists. Yeah. This is a great timing. Um, Halloween is going to be right around the corner. So you want to have your projects kind of thought up before October. We're right there. So, uh, you got to still a little bit of time to, uh, really think about what you want to do if you want to do anything. Um, yeah. Cool stuff. Are we going to do another one of these with like more of the learn guides? Yeah. Yeah. So it's just this week's, we'll, uh, we're going to do more of these since we have 10 years worth of content to, uh, recycle and, uh, remind because I'm sure there was a bunch of these that were missed or people that are new haven't seen any of these. So we will, uh, keep surfacing, surfacing these up.  She is. I don't know if you have the mic picking up, but she is. No, I heard. She is really meowing. Yeah. All right, cool. Let's go ahead and jump into this week's community makes. Actually, I wanted to talk about, um, Oh yeah. CNC parts. If that's cool. Yeah. Um, I don't really have it out ready, but, um, here we go. So I have a, um, This stand that I designed, um, for my MIDI controller. It's the micro MK three from machine. It's very cool. Recommended. But I had these three printed parts to make this stand. And, uh, the problem with three D printed parts is that they're very flexible. So I ended up doing is getting these two plates, uh, CNC, uh, laser cut by a company called, um, send cut send. I've heard about them before. Um, it's a really good service. If you want to get parts that are, um, you know, machined out of all sorts of different metals. Uh, so this is the H two. Sorry. Uh, five to five zero aluminum. So it's the lightweight, but super duper rigid. And, um, they're, they only do kind of like a two D. SVG DXF kind of cut. So you're not going to get like a three D. Um, machining, but it does, you know, For designs like this, like it makes a lot of sense to get a rigid part because the problem here is like, I would mount this to a tripod. This is a quick release plate. And the thing would bend so much. Uh, so with this, like you can't bend it. It's metal, but with the combination of these three printed parts, it makes a lot of sense. So for these bits here, I have like these extruded, um, kind of squares that really make it so that the, um, the rubber ends of, uh, of the bottom here, like fit on it perfectly. And the idea here is like wanted this spacing so that I have my keyboard slide underneath it. Nice. While I have it over it. Um, so yeah, you have the option to get them, um, anodized in different colors. Uh, they do deep burying for free. Um, I found that the part was a little rough around the edges. So I just sanded them down for a little bit, but that seemed to be okay. Um, the tallens just seem to be pretty accurate. And they have a lot of different metals that you can choose from. Like three different types of aluminum steel titanium brass, they have a lot of options. So send cut send, um, the turnaround is about, you know, five to seven days depending on the shipping. Wow. Um, but yeah, they also do bending. So I have a custom tripod plate that I sent off. I'm actually getting it today. It's arriving today later and it's a bent part. Um, I designed it in fusion using the sheet metal. And then you unfold it and then it gives you the DXF file that you can upload and it automatically knows where to bend it. And then you tell it what kind of thickness you want. This is a, um, a quarter of an inch thick. So it's like six millimeters thick. Um, but they have all sorts of different thicknesses for their metals. So really good service. Um, I recommend it. Um, it's different than, you know, 3d printing. Um, services. Um, so that is my shop talk. Um, I thought I'd share that because it's a, uh, you know, a new service. It's not three printing. It's CNC laser cut. I think. Nice. Yeah. I think next week I'll talk about the bent. Um, Very cool. Metal. So that's my, DJ Devon is asking, uh, the opposite if they could cut. Um, a super flat surface for a custom longer build surface. Oh, let me see on discord. Up. Yeah. I don't think they do. They only cut straight. Right. Yeah. They don't really do, uh, uh, um, They won't do that. I think they just cut stuff out of stock material. Was it called surfacing? No, not surfacing. Yeah. Surfacing. Um, Yeah. Pretty much surfacing. Yeah. That's the right word. Yeah. I don't think they'll do that, but definitely check their site out. They have a really nice intuitive website. Um, and lists all their services. They do water cutting.  And then I'll, I'll walk you through that. Um, Yeah. Yeah. They actually have a built in part editor. So if you want to make like a simple bracket, you can actually make it in their website, but they have a lot of examples of what they do. You know, cuts. They do counter sinking and tapping. It's pretty much for like mechanical parts. They do some artsy stuff too. Um, look at you that use them like Disney and Cisco. Um, but yeah, they have their own part editor too. So you can, you can, you can, you can, you can, but yeah, they have their own part editor too. So you can, you can use their thing, but here's all the different materials that they use. So all the different metals. Uh, they do acrylic as well. Uh, ABS plastic composite materials. Um, so the carbon fiber. So a lot of, I think robotic projects can benefit from the service. If you don't have access to the machine yourself. Um, so my stuff, let me log in real quick. Here's the two parts that I have. Uh, this is the part that I just showed you. They give you a little 3d model of what it looks like. So that's cool. They do a threading as well. So if I wanted to have those M3 threads in those holes, I could choose to do that as well. Um, here's my bent part. Here's what it looks like in 3d. So it's just one bend, but I modeled it in fusion and unfolded it. So I knew exactly that it would work in my design, but it's just a simple slot for a tripod quarter inch, you know, a screw to fit in there. And this is actually going in my overhead, my 2020 aluminum extrusion overhead rig. Cause the, the tripod plate that I have right now is this honking thing. And this is what I need. It's just, it's like, it's like two cheese plates and I don't need that. I don't need that. The, the, the, the bigness of it. I just need something like this. So I had this, uh, cut and it's arriving today. Nice. I think it was $30, which is a little pricey, but this thing costs $30. Yeah. Um, and of course I'm going to guess that there's no plates that are like that. There's no place that are like that. Yeah. They usually make this universal for like red cameras down to exactly. Yeah. Right. So I could have had them threaded, but I didn't thread this one. Um, so yeah, it's the 50 52 H 32 aluminum. And when you track, was the writing extra? Uh, I think it might be extra, but not by much. The free stuff is like deburring. Um, but yeah, here's what your order looks like when you track it. So they walk you through when it's cutting, when it's processing, when they're bending it, when they're inspecting it. So they go through a QA process and then they use FedEx for their, uh, their shipping service. But let's say I wanted to, yeah, go ahead. This would make a good guide. Cause I know it's going to come up where we need a, again, it'll come up again. Yeah. Once I get the part, yeah, I can do a guide on it. This should definitely be a guide in video. Yeah. So when I add it to car here, I can choose the services. So if I want to do countersinking, it knows what the holes are. So I can say how much, what, what hole I want to countersink. And then let's say I want to do, um, where's the anodized? I think over here, you pick the material. Here's all the thicknesses. So it's a really nice site, right? Like it gives you a really nice user interface. So the metals. So let's say I want aluminum. I want that one. And they break you down. Like what material does what, why you would pick this over that? So they have a whole like documentation. What's the 3d tab do on the left side? It just gives you a render of what it looks like. So you can like zoom in on it. Make sure it's, it looks good. Does it update when you click through? Like us. That's the thickness when you click through. Uh, Uh, doesn't look like it. Yeah. Maybe if I switch between them. Maybe. No. That's a good test. I didn't think about that, but, you know, it's got to be a lot of programming or something. Um, I'm not seeing where the. Is it tapping? Anodizing is tapping is like, you know, getting, um, like an M3. Oh yeah. The model here on threading. So that's cool. Yep. So you can do that. Choose your M3 year. Imperial. They do it all. Um, it's going to be scad then to be able to update. At least the threading. Right. Let me go to the next one. Uh, Oh yeah. I'm supposed to tell it how much to bend. So mine's supposed to be a 90 degree. So there you can see the model updated. So that's. Yeah, it's definitely doing. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe. So next. Oh, here it is. Anodizing. So here's the colors. Adding finish to blue. I guess that didn't get updated with the 2d updates. So you can pick your anodizing. Or you can do powder coating. Which is neat. So little powder coat stuff. What is wrinkle black? Where's that? Yeah. Oh, I guess it's like a textured. Yeah. You can see the wrinkle. Let's do it. Yeah. So you get a lot of options. So many options on your, on your part. Um, I think I covered everything. Yeah. But I chose the non finished because it was the fastest. I really wanted it quick. I don't care how pretty it looks. You know, it's not like a funnel. You're not going to be hidden behind the camera. Yeah. And you can see here the estimated shipping day at the bottom is the 25th. So that's five days from now. Um, obviously if you order a thousand or 10,000, it reduces the price tremendously. So for two of them, it's $13. For 10,000 of them, it's $5. So, uh, that's why mine costs a little bit more. 20 bucks. I should have got two of them, but I really don't need two of them. You know, and that would have reduced the price. It's pretty cool. Right. And products this way. This is great. I'm kidding. Cause we know that they cost 30 bucks. You can buy a thousand for $6. Yep. Here's some examples of stuff that people make. So flow, full blown go carts. Oh, I love that toilet paper dispenser. Here's that. Right. Yep. Right there. That column. Oh, wow. What does it do? Is it like, This is our Instagram. Like spit it out super fast. I don't know. Oh, that's cool. Let me see. I want to see. Oh, you can. Oh, that's funny. Impresses it. Yeah. Imprints text onto your toilet paper. Some guests. Yes. Very creative. Yeah. Their Instagram is great. I definitely recommend checking them out for inspiration. Yeah. Like, look at this car. No way. I'm looking at the hamburger photography rig. So all the pieces go in. So you don't have to do it in a 3D animation. Yeah. Oh, this is great. This is a great build. This is such a good rig.  And it's so ridiculous what it's used for. Look at all this stuff. Yeah. For a burger. Just to do a patty burger. Yeah. So that's how they do it. That's amazing. Yeah. Yeah. My feet is full of like cinematography. Really? Behind the scene stuff. And this is one that always comes up. That or the beer being poured with the. Yeah. Yeah. Anything in camera is just like. The hotness right now. Uh huh. Custom spatulas stuff. So there is. Yeah. So what I saw. I saw David Petrudo, who's a woodworker on YouTuber. YouTuber. He's got like custom knives made. Oh, so they will do weapons and like. I mean, Oh, right. I didn't think of that.  Like it's both. I mean, if you get. Say a. A butter knife and then you yourself do all the sharpening and all that. Is that what you did? That's what you did. He sharpened the knife himself. It's not sharp. Yeah. Yeah. Sorter handle. Really, really cool service. They've been out for a little bit now. Um. A custom barbecue.  So. Plates. You know. All good stuff. Remember. The brand. Uh, Brandy's parents were. They have to get like this custom molded thing for pipes or something. And it's like. 300 bucks or something like that. Oh, maybe like, oh, could you model a thing? And I'm like, yeah, I can model a thing, but what material are you going to use the things in a burst on you? Yeah. I am right here. Yeah. Tell them the checkout sound could sound. Yeah. Yeah. Are they in the United States? They have parts in Reno, Nevada and Paris and Kentucky. Oh. So that's where they're at. Yeah. Yeah. Nevada and Kentucky. So they're in the States, but also in Europe, I suppose here with Paris. Mm hmm. Yeah. Yeah. There you go. There's a nice map there. All right. I that that's all the stuff. Oh yeah. And they have guidelines on, you know, machining, how to use your tools, how to use fusion, all these guides. It's it's much like the Adafruit thing. Like here's all these resources. Yeah. And then user service or not, you know. And I like how their top thing was that, uh, that, uh, zap gun. Oh yeah. Right. Yeah. Yeah. The thing. Yeah. Yeah. So all good kerf and all that. They talk about all that and stuff. It's really important. All right. And that is this week shop talk. Actually. Thanks. Oh, I guess I'll show off. This, uh, tape measure. Yeah. Kind of like top shop talk. Yes. It is. It's a tool and I like tools. Present. Oh, it's because I'm in full screen. Yeah. Yeah. I'd like to have it ready. Oh my UI is hidden. Okay. It's a simple type measure. Why do I like it so much? Because it shows. All of your metric and your imperial. So, Oh no. Now I know what a six seven eighths is. I don't think it's Tina, a measuring tape with. Tractions. Yeah. I had to like search to like the end of Amazon. search to like the end of Amazon to find one that had all of the markings on it, usually it's just one or the other. But because, you know, when we're modeling stuff, we're that's bigger meters because I'm not going to use inches and fusion. I love this. You could version. Yeah. I mean, you could type it in. It'll convert for you. But when you're actually measuring things in the real world, and it's beyond 150 millimeters, which is the size of the calibers when you're doing woodworking or whatnot, you need something that can, you know, without having to jump over to the computer or your watch or whatever to do a quick conversion, when you can just look down at it and be like, okay, this is what it equals. Well, I haven't do any conversions. This is definitely handy to have. I should have grabbed the link or anything. I have it. It's right here. Okay. Yeah. There it is. I quickly pulled it up. So let me post that in the board and these social channels. Yeah. I saw some of the other features that I saw some of the other tape measures have. They had like lasers and like magnets and stuff. This one has a pencil sharpener. Oh, that's funny. You can't just have a measuring tape. You need to have something. I think there was another one, but it was the same price, but it didn't have like a clip or it didn't have like, oh, this is a notepad. The center here is a notepad. So you can write notes on it. It's like a traceable notepad. So it's kind of like, yeah, you didn't even know that. Okay. Cool. Yeah. Durable rubber boot. So it's rubberized. So it's not going to slip or anything shock resistant. So when you drop it, it's only $7. That's wild. Yeah. It was like 30 bucks and it didn't have any of these other features. That's wild. So laser jam. How long does it go to? Oh, 16, 16 feet. Yeah. Yeah. Again, I'm just doing like maybe two to 300 millimeters, the size of the build plate. Cool. But I've been dealing with, you know, all the tape measures in the house, all just inches or centimeters. And I have to do all these conversions and yeah, that's great. I got sick and tired of that. The only one that had both labeled was the tape one where it's like flexible. It's supposed to be for like clothes. Right. It's so old that like the tip, like, you know, it was all getting ripped up. So it wasn't even getting accurate measurements.  I swear it's a pretty good one. Well, hopefully it lasts as long as I need. I mean, the other ones have lasted freaking, you know, 30 years or whatever if they're like leftovers from like dad or something. So pretty air loom. Right. They still have like construction markings and crap on it. Yeah. Looks like they have different versions of it. So they have bigger ones. Oh, yeah. Yeah. 25 feet. And yeah, the main thing I was looking for was the markings, though, make sure right is in there. Yeah. Yeah. Metric and fractions. I guess I got to go to like the UK Amazon section. Oh, that's funny. Yeah. Because they're all imperial. Yeah. You can't beat that price. Yeah. Cool. All right. Good job. Talk. I like it. I'll show the other stuff next week. Yeah. I was just showing you. Yeah. Yeah. Of course, we're going to be. Yeah. Of course, we're going to be all interested in that. Yep. All right. Yeah. Moving on to this week's community makes. We have this super awesome dice roller. One note. Halloween. We got a little skull here. We got our custom dice here. Dice. This was supposed to be for last week, but the printer broke printing this guy out. It's because I forgot to put support material where the. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So it like ripped off the probe pin. So. Oh my gosh. Make sure you have extra probe pins because it's super. It's just being held on by a magnet.  And then it got clogged, of course, because of all the retraction with all of the all these towers all over the place.  And it's demonstrate the dice rolling. Does that pretty good as well? It all should fall within the little tray here. Nice little picture. Of course, the pyramid one is always a struggle. It's because of the way the rolls. Yeah. Just because of the shape. Yeah. And I believe this is a paid for model, but definitely worth it. Or is it? Yeah. It's designed by Wexter, which I actually follow on Instagram. Wexter. No, I forgot to print the ear or the. Yeah. The horns. Yeah. For the antler horns, whatever. Yeah. But this is a fantastic photo. I don't know. It looks amazing. Yeah. Yeah. It was a phenomenal work. Yeah. And you know, do it with like, you know, the fog and like a cool LED bokeh background, but I was rushing to get this. Yeah, I get it. Yeah. Breaking the printer. Yeah. Shout to Wexter. Very, very cool model. Amazing photography. Yeah. You can support him on Patreon. He's got a Patreon as well. Or you could just buy this deal for $3. Yeah. And I definitely worth it. Of course, the kids want to. He was trying. Declan was in here trying to steal it already. I want this call. Yeah. But very awesome. Useful decor for Halloween. You can actually use it for your taste game. Cool. Yeah. Very cool. Don't forget to support material on his teeth. Right. Yeah. Yeah. The teeth are pretty cool. Very detailed. Awesome. Awesome model. All right. All right. Are we ready to move on from the time lapse? All right. Let's go ahead and check out some of the other community makes. Okay. First up. Sent to us. Is a make of the. Raspberry Pi Pico W IOT case. This is something you put together Pedro. And. Printables user Annie. Fishes. Post it up there. Print of it. They say. Yeah. The Pico W. Wipersnapper. So. Looks good. It's a snap fit case. It has mounting tabs. And some slots for mounting various. Stem IQT. Sensors or other sensors with. Mounting holes. It's a really nice one. After that we have some customized neon like signs. So we came up with these neon signs. I think last year. Yeah. Last year. That looks different shapes. And. Milad posted up their makes. Of a pineapple. And a cactus. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. After that we got another lightsaber. This is a super customized one. It's from a Drennan. They say. They're raising saying shout out to us for. Having the fusion 365 available so they can customize it. They actually used an ESP 8266 with W LED. And a custom PCB holder. Huh. So here's their blade. It's super. Looks like they customized the code too. And a custom button too. That has like a power icon. Which looks really cool. Very, very cool. So shout out to Drennan. For completely customizing the electronics. Super cool. Looks like it's mounted on the wall too, right? Yeah. A LED bar. A light bar. Yeah. W LED. We've talked about it before. Super great software. Yeah. So many animations. So. Yeah. All the animations. And then I saved the best for last. Pedro. This is. This is from David Conger. But look at this adabot. One regular size. And the other one is 300% bigger. Love this robot. I have never seen the adabot. That looks so good. Look at the small adabot for scale. 300% bigger. I like the color. Love the color combo. Yeah. Orange and some shiny blue and this gun metal. Looks super cool. I guess all the tange has worked out. Amazing. Yeah. Obviously some of the electronics, you know. We'll need to be reworked a little bit. Like the mounting things obviously aren't going to work. But it's still really cool. And I kind of designed it so that you don't need electronics. Because you have flexible joints and all that. So that's really cool to see it. They're using glue for the arms. Maybe. Yeah. Oh yeah. Because the magnets, right? Yeah. Yeah. But it's cool to see them next to little adabot and then big adabot. That's so cool. I like to see it next to a human. Like how big is it? You know. I guess you could hold it up like this big maybe. Like it's bigger than your head. Sort of thing. Yeah. Shout out to David for posting that up. That is phenomenal. Scalable adabot. I guess you can scale it. Oh cool. Yeah. And that's this week's Community Makes. Shout out to everybody for posting those up. I know it's, you know, you got to take the time to do it. So I appreciate everybody doing that. It's very nice. Oh, shout outs from DJ Devin. Adding the tape measure in the cart. And then Tahit's saying that yeah. British tape measure is usually I have both inches and metric inches still lives in our hearts. And yeah, metric is really taken over. I routinely see things where they just say, you know, kilometers, not in miles. I got another community mate from DJ Devin. I got a display stand for the 2T feather wing. So that's cool. I will post that up. Yeah, we'll pin this. We'll pin this for next week's. This week we have the matrix mounts that folks sent us last week. So it takes a week, but we'll get it out there. So cool. Thank you for sharing that. That looks really cool. Yeah. The blog posts are usually done by like Tuesday. Yeah. The Thursday. We do one every hour. Yeah. It's hard to fit in the half. We used to do every half hour. Yeah. It's like too much, man. Like the CS team, they're like, no, man. No more. You do half of these posts. We're too busy for this. Yeah. Cool. We'll shout out to everybody. Don't forget we have coupon code. It is synth IO to celebrate. It's a bio. All right, cool. I guess we'll close down the show. Let's see what else do we have here. So tonight is a back to back shows. Starting off with the show and tell. Starting at 730 PM Eastern time. And then ask an engineer at 8 PM Eastern time. I think we're back to regular. Mr. Mrs. Lady Aida hosting. Unless they email us saying that things are different. That's going to do it. Tomorrow is John Park's workshop every Thursday. Fridays. We have a deep dive with Scott. He's back now. Or Tim. He might, I'm not sure who's doing it this week. Somewhat of a surprise. He was out yesterday. Folks are wondering. But he's back. Oh yeah. Yep. He's all good. Yeah. He's all good. With the product pick of the week on Tuesdays. And his show on Thursdays. Like I already talked about. Lady Aida streams on Sundays. And that's the whole thing. That's the whole showtime list of shows. Cool. All right. I think that's going to do it. Thanks everybody for watching. Don't forget. Show and tell and ask engineer. Later tonight. All right, folks. Well, that said, don't forget to make a great day. Bye everybody.


Alright guys welcome back to the channel and another episode in the TMJ show where I help students just like you on their medical journey and hopefully get some advice as well. Today we are talking to Christy on all about how to manage some of the biggest struggles as a brand new medical student including how to study for really hard classes like anatomy, histology, physiology, things that you may be struggling with as well so let's get into it. Christy how are you doing? I'm good how are you? I'm doing great thanks for asking so what can we help you with? I'm sorry I have some questions about how to like study topics for example like physiology or more conceptual topics where you have to learn concepts rather than just kind of memorizing facts so that was my first question. Sure absolutely so I'm assuming you're a first year since you're asking those questions that right? Yes. Awesome have you tried any resources or ways to study for physiology or those kinds of conceptual topics before? I have I use BRS but for me I think I'm a more visual learner so I kind of have to put them together and look at big diagram for instance to kind of try to learn how it works together. Gotcha so diagrams are personally great options. I think for things like physiology that are like I agree with you are definitely conceptual based and requires like a step-by-step understanding. The approach I usually take is you know especially being a visual learner is let's say you know what your physiology topic for tomorrow in class is going to be. I would personally go watch like a youtube video or find a resource that you really enjoy but video really works well for visual learners to understand essentially the conceptual map so like for step one to step four of how somebody would explain it to you and then you can you know go through a resource like BRS or if the video did a great job then try to create that conceptual map from memory on a piece of paper that you can ideally keep so that's kind of my definition of the brain dump so if you're learning let's say a great example is like the physiology of how the heart works and how it pumps and the pacemakers and the heart and the way the you know the different electrolytes kind of move back and forward to create that. It's really confusing the first time you read it so if you had a high real high yield resource the visual resource for you in this case like a video that you can watch and say okay like this is the conceptual idea of what I'm supposed to understand try to recreate it yourself on a piece of paper and then ideally ideally you would mark where you're not able to get from point A to point two to point you know see all the way to the the end where you can create that lecture again from memory and ideally create that conceptual map then you can go back to the resource that you're using so whether it be BRS or watch that video again but that would be my initial approach about study so if I knew my lecture was tomorrow is about pacemaker function of the heart I would watch that youtube video of things like osmosis does a great job there's also other resources that I will link down below or send to you to be able to understand that small bit of physiology but you know some people really enjoy just reading the text but for you watch the video try to create that initial framework yourself on a piece of paper and now when you're going into lecture you kind of know what the high yield information is going to be so you kind of have that conceptual map in your head instead of all the facts given to you at one time you have the conceptual map instead so you can pay attention for that in lecture and try to make the the connections a little bit stronger based off the examples your professor gives or the images that they put on their slides and then you go home and you try to repeat this process again you try to create that blank piece of paper in a conceptual map where you write things out and now you have a visual representation of everything you understand how does that sound yeah that makes a lot of sense so what i'm gathering is if i watch the video then i get sort of the big picture of what's going on and you understand the steps that it takes to get from point a to point b or step one to step five and then i can see where i'm getting confused as far as getting from step to step exactly yeah because often when we're reading even great resources like brs you know they don't necessarily connect the dots they just move the dots right so they show you all the dots that are there and so you can definitely end up reading a chapter and you're like i think i understand this and then by the time the test comes around the professor explains to you like wait there's something missing i just don't know what so instead if you start with a resource that can really just package it for you and saying man if i could download this would be amazing but obviously you just want to know what the finished product looks like the same way that when you go to like a key or something you know what the furniture looks like so now you have an idea of where things will go and then you look at their confusing instructions like it's like reading a brs or high yield textbook it still doesn't always make sense of how things to go together because you had that visual representation of what things should look like at the very end you can start re-asking yourself questions only how to configure the information or if you need to watch something else to be able to connect those dots so start with that big picture final product use that resource that you want to to understand it and then have your own conceptual map that you're adding and creating because ideally if you can create a nice like blank piece or piece of paper of like how the heart pacemaker cells work then you can keep that paper there have like a folder and then by the time you're getting closer to exam you just have to refer to that because that's you know that's christie's version of how the pacemaker works okay that makes a lot of sense um i'll definitely try that um in the next block because we kind of already got past that section in this block um so for another question i have is although i do use pithoma um to help with for example like pathology and histology um our professors do go into a lot more detail and we are responsible for being able to analyze like a lot more images than are in pithoma um so i was wondering about like the best approach for that um especially normal histology which is not really covered in pithoma as much um because we have like hundreds of slides sometimes gotcha but does your does your slides come with a bunch of examples that are similar to what shows up on the final exam um they do it's just a lot to kind of take in i think for this one we had like 150 slides of um examples from like possible like structures that were responsible for being able to recognize so we have second-order questions that we have to answer um so they'll ask a second-order question about a structure that we have to identify on like histology so how are you studying for at the moment um so we tend to have like histology quizzes so we have this program called like slide hosting so it has all the slides there so usually i put them into anki and then i try to like ask myself second-order questions so i can kind of get used to doing that sure so that forces me to identify what the structure is and then answer a question so if i'm not identifying the structure correctly then i won't be able to answer the second-order question right um totally makes sense um are you so what's the difficulty with currently using anki because that would be a great approach so what's the friction you're experiencing i think just the volume of it there's so many slides and they can also look really different from slide to side at least to me they do because histology is difficult for me yeah um so one thing i would do is so just to clarify um it seems like some of your questions are second-order but some of your questions are simply like what am i looking at is that fair yes that's good so you know ideally um if you're missing the like the if you're missing the actual structure and what they are um personally when i'm doing anki and there's a lot of information i have to ask myself how i can get through that onki slide um in the first pass to be able to get that first bit of knowledge so ideally for example if you have 150 flashcards for all of the things on the slide then the first focus should be not being able to get in the second order of things sometimes like subconsciously you'll be able to say i already know what this is let me just see if i can quiz myself on what that is um but if you're going to try to do first and second order everything on 150 slides with multiple lectures you're going to get behind so the first step is can you identify everything right so um the the way i would personally do it is if i had 150 onki cards i needed to do because it's simply do i know it or not not can i like quickly like figure it out um i would use a timer use a specific timer on your phone you know mentally and saying i have five to ten seconds to quickly look at the slide and tell you what it is or what it's pointing to now that may seem overwhelming but the good part of it is if you can't do it in five to ten seconds and it's not the the highest material in terms of strength for you it's something that you kind of know you need to spend more time on maybe take a guess on um the beauty bank keys you can just say show it to me again but your first focus is can i identify all these structures on 150 and just rapidly make myself do it five seconds 10 seconds 15 the time doesn't really matter um just pick something that's quick enough for you so yeah well you're not spending excessive amount of time on each flashcard now as you start to go through it you know you're going to start to see those flashcards that are structures that you just don't really click and stick home but over time it's going to with like you know one or two repetitions of onki now in terms of second order questions which you still want to prepare for ideally what you can start doing to do is let's say you are now finally getting the structures down because you've gone through a few repetitions um but you don't really know how to answer that second order part of it i would create a list of what that structure is that you really don't know how to overlay into a second order question so if it's like a specific type of cell type like you know columnar epithelians i personally don't always remember my my histologies so bear with me but if there is something that you remember from histology that is not clicking home i would create like a list on a word doc or google doc um an excel sheet of those structures that are giving you trouble either identifying um or answering those second order questions and then have a session in your week where now you can go to google you can go to youtube less so but google or um brs histologies also a text if you enjoy how the way brs works and try to answer and knock out those topics over time so if you're struggling identifying the difference between a columnar epithelium just google the different examples that google will give you to be able to say okay these are the similarities i'm starting to notice between the slides i'm getting possibly things that may show up in the test and here are examples from google so that makes i think just familiarity is key and seeing similarities is key absolutely so to avoid getting overwhelmed you know your first like idea just like you said you have to be able to identify it before you can get to a second order question so make that your focus the first time without making it stressful it's saying you know because it's simply can you identify it or not do it as fast as possible things that you can do quickly press that show it to again like three days four days and things that you can show it to me in a minute and now as you go to that pass if it's 150 you know slides um and you're doing them within a few seconds ideally it won't take a very long time to be able to answer those and then the second time you do that pass now you can say okay these are the structures i struggled with um so let me identify these first that's my main focus and these are the structures i know so let me start doing that second order thinking and as you're doing this create that list of topics or structures that you struggle with as well as structures that you're okay with but don't understand that second order level thinking like what is their function how do they work what would happen if you know it was displaced etc okay i think that's helpful i guess hopefully you guys are enjoying this conversation so far with christy if you are and you're watching this on youtube go ahead and hit that like button down below one helps support the video but two it may also get the video in front of somebody who really needs to hear it another thing i struggle with i'll do although i do fairly well on the practicals for anatomy lab for me it takes a lot a lot of time for me to get to the point where i feel like i have sufficient understanding so i spend like hours and hours and hours in the lab which ideally is great but then i it sometimes have to sacrifice other things that i have to do and so i wouldn't don't want to have to do that um so i have a hard time kind of transferring like the relationships that i learn like in lecture to lab especially because we learn all of our anatomy in lecture the whole first week but our block is a lot longer than that right and so it's hard for me to like recall things from the first week and connect them back to the anatomy lab and also connecting the diagram to the cadaver itself and then from cadaver to cadaver and it just takes me hours and hours of practice um and i just want to be more efficient about doing that just kind of connecting all of that together sure no that's a that's a great question um i will say anatomy is one of those things that will take hours um so you may not be completely uh distant from the right approach um though what i will say is that um when you're going into anatomy lab especially when the weird structure where week one is all the information and then the latter weeks are like the you know going into lab and like actually figuring things out is i would split your understanding or the the different you know areas of the body so let's say you're doing the arm so eventually you'll start with the muscle you'll do the brachial plexus at some point you may do the neck at the same time so you kind of have like these bits of how the lectures are organized so what i would do is when i went in silky or when i was excuse me when i want to go into to actual cadaver lab um i would have some mental model of what i thought that that would look like and then i would simply compare contrast when i would get into cadaver like into the actual cadaver of saying you know this is right this is like looks right here is uh internal juggler here's external juggler but i thought this nerve would be here so mentally i need to address that um and so you just focus on one kind of aspect of the body that you'll be learning it and focus on that that mental model and that diagram um and over time what you'll be able to do is you know ideally as you're going through anatomy you can just create a list i thankfully i had this list when i was going into um for my class but all the structures that you need to know and they won't take you a lot of effort to create those lists of all the structures you need to be able to identify um but ideally you can then group them so you can identify here at a list of all the structures you need to know for anatomy and then you can group them like here's an upper neck anatomy structures that i need to know here's a lower neck here is the brachial plexus structures etc and then each time you go in your idea is go in with the framework of where things should be look at a cadaver and reconfigure your mental framework and so re-correct and then ideally look at another cadaver um where you can say okay here is how things lay out i feel like i understand this better and move from structure to structure so then it's effective again it's not always the time saving but the idea is when you go into lab you should be able to come out saying i understand how the upper neck anatomy works and not only can i do it on one cadaver i can do it on the second one um and then you keep every time you go into the next uh session it should be let's focus on the next part so go on with the mental model whether it's watching a video on youtube using your diagrams from your lecture saying these are how things would look like if the cadaver was right in front of me go in see the cadaver and re-correct look at one more um and then do that self-correction and ideally as you do that with more repetition you'll have a mental model not just that's stuck in your head but something that applies to multiple different forms of anatomy in two different cadavers or more okay i think that makes sense i think with the actual identification itself i think i do fine i think my main struggle is like the lecture style questions is what i think i have most trouble with um but i think those also require a good understanding of not only how the structures are positioned relative to each other but also like relationships to other things that we learned in class and also clinical correlates right so i think that just comes with a lot of practice is what i'm just gathering at it's one of those classes that is frustrating but the the way i personally would structure is my first thing is to have like a picture of what things would look like and so usually i would do this before the dissection for you it's that first week go into lab and say oh you know crap like this is not how it looks like let me like readdress where i thought things would be and then fix my issues um and then ideally identify it on another structure either at that time or another session um and then using things like anki to be able to like use the image inclusions to be able to get those mental models a little bit better refined uh and those clinical correlates i loved using questions from like you rolled or us mlerx because they would ask questions like oh if you lost this nerve or if you got injured here what would be the symptoms you would be seeing or if somebody came in with like numbness on these fingers uh what would that be so ideally then you have a good group of like oh it's the ulnar nerve which goes here which i also remember from my clinical correlates like they love to ask a question about where it is in the elbow and that again is repetition but it's like a step-by-step repetition okay i think i'm going to try to make sure i have a good understanding when i'm in lab and then build on that information as i go yeah i feel like a lot of times the struggle is you go and see a cadaver and you're just hoping things stick but cadavers are not pretty you know you may cause the damage yourself so if you come in with a mental model and then correct it's much easier versus like saying i hope this sticks so maybe that initial approach may just be going in with resources anatomy zone 3d is great youtube videos that can give you pictures in your mind and then you can walk in and say oh it looks like that great it doesn't look like that let me fix that so how many times do you recommend i guess reviewing a lecture and over what period of time i think that's something that i'm still trying to figure out like i have a spreadsheet where i try to review each lecture at least four times within a block and so i worked on like what day i reviewed it out and like my comfort level with it so is it is it easy medium or hard perfect did i watched a lecture did i do cards for that lecture like all the information is in there nice personally i think the three to four repetitions is a good mix i would usually do it obviously the day of lecture you have a little bit of repetition if you do study anything before the lecture but you don't have to but the day of lecture is repetition one during that weekend i would break the first day of the weekend so saturday to do monday to wednesday's lectures and then the sunday to do thursday to fridays with a little bit of kind of preparations for mondays that's how i split us that'd be repetition two and then if you had a four-week block and then you know week three would be also let's start reviewing for those things from week one and week two and like each day i would be doing like two or three lectures in addition to what i was doing for class by just either doing my flashcards again or doing practice
