She's been an integral part of 3d Hangouts doing all just about all the code for our project. So everybody welcome her to the team and it's super exciting to have her do a lot of new product guides helping Kat me out helping Lamar out and just being overall awesome. So shout out to Liz helping out Lamar. Big time with all of the new product guides doing that. I think she's doing the pretty pins as well. Oh, cool. A bunch of the breakouts that like the guides for all the new products that come out like showing all the pinouts and showing how to do a factory set and all that stuff. So definitely huge shout out for a mental help that's going to come into Lamar. More musical projects to come as well. And reminder that Adafruit is a real job. And they're real people. Hopefully this year we'll be able to do something like this. We're all going to get together again. So let's all work hard to get there. All right folks. Super awesome. All right. We I think we're ready for this week's project. Right.  We got some rocket shoes. So a couple of weeks ago, Phil be or Phil Trone PT saw these awesome shoes that came out from Nike. Andrew Stink did a really good review on the 3d printing heels that these shoes come with. I did not bring the ones that these actually come with because they were actually like injection molded not 3d printed. No, it's fine.  But the whole purpose of it was of course being at Adafruit, adding some LEDs and some motion activated, you know, animations to having them be like wearables. So one of the cool things about these is the platform that they're using. I again know nothing about shoes. So these are the what's the name of them? They're called laser low. Yeah. So I guess it's like a it's a collab with acronym. So Nike acronym. Yeah. So the way I'm seeing it just from that is that the Nike hands out like, you know, a platform of shoe that other third party companies can design on top of. And one of the things that acronym came up with was having these heels that you can have like a three printed attachment for them. These are if you could close the blind there actually. Let me do this change. So we just do that. Oh, here you go. It's on this little branding of the acronym logo there. And they have they do like I know they're like designers that do like clothes and as well as the shoes. So the heels that come with this shoe, definitely not three printed. These are injection mold. You can see how thick they are for the injection. Yeah, they kind of they're going to match the style of the shoe. There's like three or four different color choices you can get. You can purchase them from different distributors. We were able to get ours from acronym themselves. They still have a couple of the sizes available. We have the link to the learn guides. You can get them if you'd like. They come in different sizes. I did not mess up the shoes. This is how they came. That's like design. It's a little design that they have to kind of flare it out. So they kind of have these this kind of textured cutouts, which is kind of interesting. But yeah, so you get what three bolts here that has heat inserts. And that's how you tanch them. These screws came with the with the shoes themselves. They're kind of like flathead screws and three. I love them three. That's great. Shout out to thank you for doing the metric screws and not imperial for that definitely helped a lot that that was standardized metric, but huge fan of them three. Instead of having to use a screwdriver, we got these really rad thumb thumb screws. We got these hunk and thumb screws are out of my anodized aluminum. So you can get them in different colors and get these on Amazon. But yeah, they're really nice for kind of take this out. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So it's really easy to take him out. But what was kind of interesting is you actually don't really need the screws because the heat sets themselves are kind of extruded out a little bit. They kind of protrude. So they're able to kind of fit the the print over it. So it's interesting as you use PLA instead of having to use like a ninja flies. Ninja flies can be really difficult to print. I did try the the more rigid, not as flexible and then to flex the semi flex, but that was still yeah, it was still too flexible for this. Like the armadillo, I think it's what it's called the 70 70 shore hardness for that. Sure. So the goal was to like, all right, let me recreate this and then add some holder for the circuit playground. So instead of kind of creating a custom circuit player on case, we figured to use the polycarbonate clear case that we already have injection molded because it's got a lot of protection to the board. And it has on board buttons that you can press switched, you can access as well and all the ports are available. So you can do you can connect alligator clips to any of these pads. Do you want to do other stuff? And really the the idea to use the alligator clips is kind of like a make it modular, but also just it's easier to kind of assemble it this way. So that was kind of a cool thing in it kind of adds to the aesthetic that this is like kind of like your Doc Brown sort of invention where the wires are kind of out there and exposed a little bit, but it kind of adds to it. Yeah, the exposed wires definitely adds to the look that they're trying to do with the ones that they included, which a lot of the artists did have the ability to go in there and create their own so they could showcase that. Unfortunately, some of the designs that you've seen in Andrew's video, they don't really fit at all. It looks like they were sort of rushed to get this out. Yeah. So this one did fit. However, this was able to fit because the shoe this is a nine and a half. I guess some of the other bigger shoes maybe this didn't fit. So that's kind of why you kind of recreate it because you made it parametric and scalable so you can easily massage and move some of the sketches around if you want to change up the geometry. Yeah, we'll jump into the fusion file in a little bit to take a look at it. But yeah, one of the things I wanted to avoid was having it be so thick because of course you don't need to have it be that thick for what you're needing here, which is just a bunch of mounts for having like the little rocket boosters, which of course you can go ahead and it doesn't have to be a rocket booster. You could take the existing mounts and just model something else. Yeah, you have your battery mounted on the top here on the back here and you can see how it's nice protected between these two. Yeah, I'll do a Yeah, so you have the extension that JC extension on there and the way that this is even held on there to is a bunch of the tripod adapters. So you have a 20 to quarter 20 to quarter 20. It's attaching our very lovely polycarbonate acrylic case that Mike Dole has designed and these have the tripod screws adapters to attach it to things. And then we're using the three fourths of quarter 20 for mounting that on there and everything's attached with a bunch of M two and a half, 2.5 millimeter screws, completely modular. You can take it all apart. Like you said before, one of the difficulties in building something like this is having to thread the wires through to get the boosters on there. You want to make sure that you're not playing that threading game where you are having to solder your circuit board and then having to unsolder it if you need to change out your part. So to avoid that, I'm going to get some slack in here from that. You can see that the neopixels here are attached with some some jumpers and jumpers so that can easily detach.  Not really good use of time.  Not I've taken that out. I need to actually release some more of the slack to get in there. It's so fun to take it apart. Yeah, another thing too. Another thing that Nike really didn't probably for cost savings that they were including these, I don't want to trash talk, but yeah these screws that were already starting to rust. I mean these thumb screws weren't that much money so definitely would have been a much more easier route to go and to promote it that way. So you can see here how it's routed here. We just have the male jumpers on the other side that's connecting to the little females on this side and we're using very lovely PCB Neopixels. So you have the resistor everything on there that you need to get this powered up and yeah this just goes through here like that and then you have a couple of other mounting opportunities and these areas around here if you want to go ahead and modify this as any way. So what I really like is that when you designed the clip and the boosters it could have been a like single part kind of like how this one was but to optimize it for 3D printing it's really smart to kind of chop the pieces off and reorient them on the bed and kind of optimize it so that it prints you know without with as least support material. This looks beautiful but you're going to need the type of supports that I'm using on there's breakaway or you can use you can also use like PVA because with regular supports you're not going to get this super clean bottom. There's a special filament called breakaway filament from Ultimaker. I don't know if anyone else makes it. It's a special filament that's designed to be support material and it prints beautifully. A couple years ago we did like a little thing about it but this you can see that this is the bottom layer. This is where you can kind of see a little bit of blemish there where the breakaway support is. So if you ever thought about like more support material try it try some breakaway stuff it's only I think for Ultimakers and I've not seen anyone else. I don't know what the the material is but beyond that you're gonna need like a dual extrusion printer and the way that the so that's cool and that's a really good method to kind of get a phenomenal you know part that has support material without having to go the SLA route. So that was a really cool option or you can go without you know optimize it even more to chop the booster off and optimize it to print kind of upright and then angle it so that you don't need any supports for these tabs is really clever. Even in the model itself you can see that I'm using fillets all over. Oh only filleting where it's on the top so that when you're yeah that's cool. So your support you don't need any supports in any of this. Even the top here you can see I have all these fillets on the mounting points so none of this actually needs supports except the heel and if we jump into cura yeah we'll jump in the cura and let's take a look here. So inside cura here you can see how the support materials are set up. Ignore the one for the booster like I was saying earlier. Oh that's just yeah that's just so I can get all of the parts in here. Everything comes nicely oriented for you so it's nice and flat ready to go. All you have to do is turn on your supports. The only thing that you really need to look at for this is making sure that it's the placement is everywhere and that your support angle is at 40 instead of 45 for whatever reason cura tries to add like chop up the way the supports are laid out if it's at 45 not very good so that's one thing too you want to look out for that your support materials aren't like scattered all over the place or you have these teeny tiny little support pieces that you don't need like this is actually an example of a good one right here where you don't really need this but trying to it's a little finicky trying to get rid of that you can add like a support blocker on there too but yeah don't need it other than the heel part and that's why so the support density is also an important note to look at instead of something default like 10 drop down I think it's usually 20% yeah you don't need that much you don't need 10 sometimes the high what I call high support density is like 6% and the other thing too to look at and we've talked about this several times before support line with for supports they don't need to be 0.4 they don't need to be so fat why do they need to be so fat you want them to be thin and you want them to be easy to like flick off with your finger while still being steady enough to support the material that you're printing on top of it so a thin extrusion for just the support material that's cool another thing I was looking at was you have support brim enabled and that's going to help that thin I did not use it for this one but you can just in case if you have some adhesion problems with your bed didn't need it on doesn't have adhesion I would with your bed I would definitely use it if if you have problems with that using the texture PEI for this one so it was able to hold on pretty well okay the other thing I think we always talk about to the support z distance I have it at 0.21 and that's just so that's not fusing the supports and the main geometry together what's the other broken record setting that I always use support interface layer so you don't need that yeah I don't need it uh sometimes you need it sometimes you don't yeah I guess the underlying layer right the overhang doesn't really look bad here there's nothing really to look at jump over the overhead looking at the underside where the supports are how thick is this uh this right that's two millimeters two millimeters thick so you get a little bit of flex there and that kind of helps you kind of hug the heel of the foot well when you walk you definitely are bending your heel in like all these different ways you don't realize until you have like a three-print part on your shoe cool so it is flat you have a flat surface that it prints on right mm-hmm okay yeah so I did or I these are already oriented ready to go yeah that should be uh you just turn on your supports and get that printing again just for the heel for the sports everything else uh even the um get rid of this you can see the battery pack you take a look at the way that the mounts are for that too I have a chamfer right on the bottom there and then right at the top you just have fillets everywhere to make sure that it's nice and strong yeah so always try to keep in mind the way you're designing things it's like yo Kira I don't know why you're telling me this is red it catches it just fine yeah I think there's some setting in the in the background that you can change to only look at only highlight uh overhangs over a certain angle I forgot it is but there's a way to do that yeah but this catches it just fine uh with the the amount of fillets in the way that it's uh drafted inside of fusion that's a cool thing as the boosters are symmetrical so you can just print one or print it print it twice same thing with the heel yeah some of the designs that uh Nike had oh the heel is symmetrical as well that's great yeah the heels for one that's one of the things I wanted to avoid to make sure that you don't need a left you don't need a right um same thing with the booster uh the booster uh yeah we already showed that it just twists right off so we're using the threading inside of that to get that going cool and I thought I had of course when I'm live on tv is one of the uh it stops the why come on let me rotate fusion there you go oh my god oh it's because of the trackpad again I'm trying to use the this was just working like beautifully yeah I swear I know how to use it well any manner we can uh there we go yay yeah I don't know how you do that with your trackpad well what was I coming in here to show uh I think just the the geometry of a bunch of fillets everywhere to make everything nice and strong like here is this will pop right off if you don't fillets all over the place just to have that nice smoothness all over while adding the strength rigidity that you're gonna need for something that you're wearing on your feet yeah oh um let's see so the sketches if you want to download the files you have all the sketches here so if you need to uh not to make the booster bigger or you need to change your threading for like tolerances on your printer or if you want to get down to just having the the heel for a different sized foot because this is uh design it should fit like the nine and a half up to ten and a half uh but uh in Andrew's video he was showing that the sizes that he downloaded for his foot now the 12 size 12 size 12 did not fit his shoe so if you want to uh he ended up uh scanning the heel clip that was included with the the pair of shoes scan that clean it up bring it in diffusion and then you can reference the holes there and kind of redraw it and this is what i'm showing off here the um the screw amounts for all this you can just move this around if you need to have like a bigger shoe or a smaller shoe which um you would have figured that um design wise if the shoe if the shoe is bigger that it would just be updating from here you know but unfortunately now it looks like the entire shoe is being updated like scaled like that instead of being smart and doing it this way yeah i don't know i've never designed a shoe uh yeah i'm sure there was some other design constraints or something cool so folks um can modify the sketches and modify the sketches you can modify all the cuts so if you want like a different shape for it although keep in mind that you do have to stay within this um the shape here okay yeah so you kind of sketch that out there so you have a good profile to look at yeah and uh look do i have another one over here it's already assembled can i get two shoes yeah and then of course uh i think the cool thing for like the um the way that it was coded is in make code and we'll go over that so the action is if you stomp hard which in make code you have like different um g settings like g4 settings and i think it's at eight g's so when you stomp really hard instead of just walking you'll have that little animation where both the boosters turn red the central one does a little red ring and then does the little um sparkle and i think you can hear it there it does a little pew pew and then because of you know just how easy make code is to quickly iterate get things over you're able to do like a if you fall down you have like a little fall attack or if you're on a swing and you really go vertical you can i don't think anybody around is going to be able to hear that distress in a way you know swing up but yeah you do have like a uh you can add like different like if the face tilts up or down you can have like different um orientation orientation animations for your orientation and of course you can edit the the way that it blinks and all that you can tell how many milliseconds you wanted to do or if you want to blink a different color uh let's go ahead and jump into the guide all right let's take a look there okay i'm gonna go over the parts all right yeah so some of the parts here that we're gonna need uh the a lot of this stuff is in stock the uh circuit playground express if you get the uh 4h version those are in stock and there's no difference it's just one that's branded for uh the 4h program that is a good reason i get that one yeah a nice green color there and you got the 4h logo and then the uh 428 milli amp hour battery i do have a i do have a uh case that for the 500 milli amp hour one because that's what i started off with but notice that they were all out of stock right so i switched over to that one and then if you want to be able to charge your lipo battery we have the uh micro lipo charger here cool recommend the usbc obviously and then the alligator clips definitely want to have those um so you can you know like the small versions yeah there's some bigger versions but these work well with the 3rd figure yeah supposed to sense the the size constraint they're gonna have on your heel cool the mini button pcb new pixels yeah pack of five we love tripod stuff that's what we stock different tripod adapter screws so you see here we need two of them one for the uh the kind of the female socket one that's kind of the male connector here that plugs two quarter twenties together yeah cool and that is what's on the back of the polycarbonate circuit playground express enclosure yeah that's great it's like heat pressed in there of course you're gonna need the nike acronym blazer lows hopefully they are in stock in your size and the m3 thump the thumb screws thump thump yeah they have like red and blue and purple and black yeah looks super cool the uh m2.5 by five millimeter long screws to attach the boosters recommend metal screws folks because the nylon ones might get i tried i tried i really try to use all the like the stuff that we have in the shop yeah the screws aren't passed through right they don't pass through they have to bite through so you have to create the thread yeah so just keep that in mind um that that makes it just much more stronger you want your boosters to fall off mid-flight yeah cool and then the uh m2 eight millimeter long screws oh i'm sorry those are for the boosters the other ones are for attaching the uh the heels and the mount for the battery in the strict playground express okay cool jumping over the the circuit circuit diagram it is not found give me a sec folks let me see i can make sure yeah it wasn't published let's see give us a second folks published there we go all right jump back in we're flying building the airplane as we're flying what is the thing that one's not public what happened i did this at night and it told me it was published liar all right continue there you go circuit diagram where were we where's the circuit diagram circuit diagram here we go anyway this is why we do this all right jump into the circuit diagram you can see how everything is hooked up pretty simple in terms of the view of the circuit diagram how everything is laid out but the actual soldering and making of the circuit to this build yeah it folks could fashion their own method if they kind of want to do it differently but this circuit diagram should give you an idea of that you're just sharing data ground exactly between the two pixels you can create a y connector like pager has or you can use some sort of bus um like a little a little power bus thing where you can solder into that screw that's big though that's giant it's dependent on your bill yeah if you click on the photos you can enlarge them any of the photos in the learning guide and you click on them it'll show you several different sizes let's see the original size here what i'm doing here is just creating a white cable like you said i'm just sharing the um v out the uh the digital in and the ground i'm splitting that into two additional connections and then having the those be rewire reconnected with a the male and the female connections there the jumpers yeah right of course easier said than done you have to have like all these yeah third helping hands to hold it dinner friendly project did we i think i did uh i didn't in the video so yeah uh just it's definitely a really good very careful is it it's easy to you know we made it it's all right moving on to the main code you can edit this and have your browser well not any browser i'm sorry only in chrome has that usb extension there built in so you can connect to your zika playground that way or you can just go ahead and download a uf2 whoops okay i didn't catch that one cool all right you can see where that code came from right let's see so what's cool about maycode is you can either edit the maycode like file or you can just drag and drop the uf2 file which will get you just going real quick all right it's really nice with the with the boot loader on the circuit playground you can switch between circuit python make code and arduino with the the reset button so it's really easy to kind of switch between them but you've offered the the uf2 so you can just drag and drop it or you can edit the the code and make code so i'll go ahead and open that this opens it in a new kind of instance make code has like a special embedded code thingy where you can play around with it you can hit edit that'll bring you into the editor and i really love that you don't need any logins you know your account it's just saving on your local uh like caching or something there is this thing called uh dom do you know whatever the programming web thing is so um this is like some advanced multi-threading code here going on so on start you're setting up the strip the external strip on the circuit playground you have to connect to a1 so you can easily change just whatever pin you'd like yeah there's only two pixels and that's how you set up an external strip uh since these are being shared it you can probably just have one pixel but you can have two it doesn't matter oh that's right yeah it should only be one it should only be one but the two works it doesn't matter you can do inputs so here in the input block you can see all the different inputs that you can do so like on 8g this is where you so that's the sensitivity so if you wanted to shake it you could do that but the 8g is like it's only going to look for hard hitting things exactly so that's what you wanted there yeah because you don't want to kill the battery just keep walking around having that go off so on the a g you're gonna uh and i've tried many uh arranging of the blocks and this is what played like back uh favorably so having the pew pew sound play first stop any animation that's going on and running in parallel you're going to have the strip show that little fire animation in which of course you can change around the amount of time you can show that on on the strip and then on the um to the playground board itself yeah then immediately after that you're going to do the little sparkle you're going to do the same thing on the um strip and then you're going to clear it because you don't want it to just stay without it actually animating so you got to be very specific on telling you what to do for each step yeah each stage of your animation cool then when you click the a button you can have a different animation and play a new animation of laughter looks like i think it's supposed to be the strip might have been uh left over and so it works yeah it so works while a button was pressed do you show animation so that's if you want like yet another animation happening so oh it's almost like a demo mode like hey let me just kick start any animation by pressing the button exactly cool and then here's your your uh your oops i fell detection face down stop all the animations and do another run in parallel and play melody yes and there is i think in so you i don't remember i did not build this they had like um candid ones ready to go did they get rid of it yeah there it is gallery if you go in the gallery you can um check out ones and edit those which again you know this is so cool that the you know block editor allows you to quickly go in there and do a little you know little tone what i have without having to sit there okay this is uh this is c this is d a e and you know trying to figure that out in your head it's a lot easier to have a visual uh and your iteration hearing it on the circuit playground to see okay this sounds good or does not sound good okay cool so you can have lots of fun in make code and just kind of play around with it you think it's really cool like i say in the video educational settings workshops like this is really fun and if you're just getting started you're more of a visual learner i think uh make code is still a really great option it's free right so just make code dot eight three dot com yep it also works with other um cmd chipsets i think so other hardware too uh microbit and uh i think a feather maybe a cricket yeah cool do you just like it now just make sure the links are going and they are not sorry moving on a second to catch any questions or anything nothing so far that's why i'm continuing all right here we go moving on to the 3d printing we already covered a little bit about that but you can get the file maker oh yeah there's another explanation explanation if you want even more and how to set it up how to get it going well it's got like a breadboard if you want to this is make code maker so this is like a different one which is actually run sensors and leds yeah it's very similar it's just it works with other boards other than the circuit player and express excellent all right on to 3d printing already a lot of that you can download or edit the design there's a fusion 360 model you can download separate um formats if you need something else there's a lot to choose from and then the step file is sort of a universal solid modeling thing that you can load in other programs like blender my uh rhino what have you that should work too on to assembly assembly we kind of covered this to uh going over the wires how to set that up everything's broken out and then i'm moving on to threading everything through i feel like we've already covered all of this in the beginning how you want to have your new pixels so you can plug those in so definitely follow it that way yeah um any just pull out any notes or one of the most important things right here that we can't see unless we're showing the picture off is this little washer for the um coritonia adapter because without it it can go all the way through and push out your your board it can just pop open the um the polycarbonate case yeah so this is sort of like a end stop for it so you can't uh turn it anymore yeah like push out the board yes the uh the screw thread is just too tall and it works for certain things but for this one you just print your own thing i would print this anytime you're using it because it has the coritonia that we're assuming that you're going to use it with a tripod adapter um you definitely want to have this washer for more use than just this just so you're not um punching your board through the case that's just the thread is too long okay uh moving on beyond that attaching the mount to the uh heel like we were saying before we're using the uh 2.5 by 5 million long screws to attach to that behind does the battery fit loosely in there uh no so the good good point for bringing that up no so it does have a little bit of a loose yeah but i did add oh you had a little shimmy yeah so we're using these um the capton tape the little strip of the capton side just to increase the tolerance there's a friction do you need tiny bit friction yeah because trying to get that right with your um with your model you're always going to get it either too tight to um this is loose this is a great solution the bad solution from experience mounting tack because like if you leave it in there two years later you're like why is it dries out it's it starts cracking and it leaves the stain so beyond the little because what is it like 0.2 or 0.1 uh maybe a bit of a stick yeah the other thing you can do to see these flaps on here you can actually uh flare mount just a little bit so that you increase the tolerance yeah but i think this is the most safest thing just having the capton tape on there just to increase the tolerance just a little bit put that in there go and that's enough too so it's not rat you know rattling in there while you're walking i did have that problem without before i've added the um that tolerant adjuster cool calling it good tip let's see yeah once you got your uh your battery installed you can use the alligator clips yeah just connect them up and if for whatever reason like um there's some tolerance issues or something or the screws are different or you mounted it wrong um you can notice here that one of these uh the jst port is pointing up and one of them is pointing down so if you need to adjust where the most convenient part for adding your alligator clip in uh you want to make code and update like the instead of a one yeah maybe it's eight maybe it fits better than a two just draw so you can always do that as well if you have to attach to a different pin just because like you know say this what is this this is a one say if like the i twisted it and it was all the way up here well that doesn't make sense for the alligator clip to be hanging out over here yeah so you can update what pin that it's actually connecting to yeah that's in my way for a cable length and placement exactly all right i'm adding it to the studio and a quick demo on how you add it back to the shoe here you want to have your tongue open or yeah so this little bit right here it's like this cool kind of snap yeah so for the original clip this actually goes three here like that hugs in but that's where battery is so we can't do that yeah so um yeah i just want to uh minute or never your cabling so it's like all nice and hidden like that and then you align these guys up so and then you definitely hopes to uh sort of squeeze the heel and it snaps right in like that go even attach your uh thumb screws jay thumb screws yeah definitely should have been included that's no much like you got this great sticker yeah so what ideas do you guys have for adding some custom mounted heels i think one of the funny ones that jp had said was having which they do have one of the artists did have one where it goes down to the heel so you can have like a different pattern so you can have like stomp out like some logos or something or the thing that jp said was so the feet are like backwards so it looks like you're like walking all crazy so that's definitely a really good funny one that you can do and other than that yeah this was really um i think the thinking for pt was to have um just celebrated so more companies are able to add like mounts pretty shoes so 2012 but it's really cool to see someone like nike come out with a nice pair that's not all 3d printed but like four 3d printed that's what i was gonna bring up so i'm seeing like a lot of other designer folks and makers on instagram posting a lot of fun kind of remixes and different shoe clips well i want to see ones that actually work that actually get printed out because some of the the ones that they're showcasing the ones that pt wanted was like this crazy dragon one like it's so impossible to print on a i don't think these are supposed to be like worn they're like artistic uh platforms yeah that's that's cool too but it'd be awesome to you know actually wear them out oh so yeah definitely yeah more useful ones that aren't gonna fall apart that aren't as artistic they don't have like all these tiny little bits and bops that are actually gonna poke you as you're walking okay yeah so for cosplay things maybe that's a good idea so yeah nice uh hopefully encouragement for other uh or even for nike to have more um shoe two styles styles that'll have because it's so easy the if you check out uh andrew's video it looks like it's just glued on uh with the threads the threads inserted in there so it couldn't be that difficult to come up with a mounting uh some a way to mount onto some other type of shoe especially if it's just glued on and that's it how do they feel when you wear them uh not bad like not as comfortable as like other shoes but they don't hurt my feet that was the main thing yeah sweet blazer loads yay super cool i shall be wearing these out as you can tell i have not worn these outside indoors only all right sweet that is this week's project all right don't forget to check out the learn guy if you want to pick up a pair you get the circuit playground 4h it's in stock maybe the case or any other bits and bobs that you might need rock it off rock it off and all right let's go ahead and jump into those weeks what are we prototyping all right um we're doing the chaos emerald okay cool all right for prototyping this week we have some more chaos emeralds these are 3d printed emeralds that have embedded new pixel leds via a circuit playground so i made three different shapes three different sizes rather because i thought it'd be fun to have this model be printed in different you know smaller printers bigger printers so we got a big large medium right wait small medium and large so you you might have seen this one last week it's it's really nice it's got a circuit pretty embedded inside this one does as well pretty similar we have a 3d printed bracket that allows the circuit player on the snap fit so that's really cool without any hardware you can snap fit this but then you do need some hardware to attach the the snap fit case to this like extra bracket and with i came with this method of adding built-in standoffs uh to the lower half of the of the of the chaos emerald that way you have like a really secure mounting point to attach this kind of it's kind of bracket here another cool thing is i have the snap fit grabbers on two of the sides and then just these lips here on these sides that way you can kind of do a little bit of this to easily open it and close it just flexes slightly the lower half here is just kind of printed in this um every white trans translucent white pl a which uh diffuses nice very nicely there are little nubbins on two of these sides that that catch the grabbers and just line them up and it's easy enough to snap them in there you get a little bit of a seam but not too bad and that's kind of what it looks like here so you got a nice hot spot here but you're able to kind of illuminate the top here too just because of the nature of the filament and uh in different lighting situations it looks more brighter than others but yeah very very happy with this one so that's the medium size one this one is the smallest version i can come up with so this will fit on any of the small 3d printers same dealie here you just squeeze it to open it you can see here i got those same grabbers on the on the edges there and these lip stoppers here on the opposite ends this is a circuit plate on blue fruit because i wanted to try out some uh some bluetooth connectivity i forget to mention but the battery is like um in between the the bottom of the snap fit case in the bottom of the pcb it's just in there it's like a 500 milliamp lipo battery you could also use 320 or 420 whichever one of those but with this one the the standoffs are built in i forgot that this is the blue fruit one this the standoffs are built into this one so you just have the snap fit case like screw right into the the built-in standoffs there i only added two of them because i didn't need to have all four of them while you're on the subject of the screws jeblero quick is asking best way to have the um your part except screws is it give up and use a cap of nut yeah wants to do a project where he does not require the inserts yeah sure uh so so let's say you're doing an m3 hole i would make it 2.8 millimeters in diameter that way you have it's a little bit tighter and then what i like to do is i have an m3 screw tap and i will i will create the threads into the standoffs by just slightly kind of you know driving into your standoff that way yours a little bit of mature that you're going to bite into when you're when you're threading it and that way you can have the threads easily or the screw threads go easily into the standoffs but if you're using a cap nut you know that's i don't have the real estate to do that here so that's why i'm like i'm just going to go directly into the screw the one you use here uh that's an m35 so just an m3 um yeah so that would be my suggestion and then like say uh this tab here i would make this hole 3.2 millimeters a little bit bigger because i actually don't need the screw to bite into this piece i only need it to bite into this guy here so that kind of makes a little bit easier too i believe this is the set we use that's a good set yeah you can pick up an m a metric set of screw taps and those are great get a get a handle as well a little handle for your screw tap some of them come with it some of them don't but yeah that's a that's a great question i should really do a like a tutorial on like why you would go with a screw cap or and look at different projects that i've done to say like here's why i screwed it this way here's why it has an insert because i'm going to reuse it um super great question cool then uh vince is asking could uh neodymium magnets work here instead yeah you know what neodymium acts would work pretty well because i mean just be able to take this whole thing off yeah for sure and there are so many different neodymium magnet um diameters thicknesses that you could totally do that um why didn't i do it oh you did it in this other project yeah i did in the other project the cube that we're working on but i don't know i think it was uh it depends on like if you have the magnets you got to worry about the tolerances of the magnets all the magnets we have we gotta use it for a different project then you'll have to like and you glue them in then you have to that is the most annoying part that's why i kind of stay away from magnets but same thing with the inserts same thing with the inserts too yeah especially when you're still prototyping you're like oh no i need to salvage these and you're sitting there breaking apart your your model for that yeah um but magnets is a good idea too for sure it just depends on uh what you have on hand and what you want to do with it um but yeah magnets would be cool i also thought like a screw thing would work too but i didn't really need to do that i think it's not if it's fun one of the things about uh the the the shape though you'll notice that like you're getting a really hot spot this is because the LEDs are so close to approximately to them um so like the more space you have the more diffusion you get and that's why this one here looks so good because like there's just so much space around the neopixels that the light can just scatter and just kind of illuminate the whole thing but the only thing that sucks about this is you need a big printer to print it um so that's supposed to you know i want everybody to enjoy these these lovely snap fit gem diamonds chaos crystals whatever you want to call them they can be whatever color you want to so very fun and that's what we're prototyping more glowy goodness tights is asking manic on the mac subject of the magnets does it affect the wifi reception oh that's a good question i don't know and then uh yep tolerances sometimes give me grief yes especially if you have something of a known tolerance that works with whatever you're trying to fit yeah and then you have to print it vertically it completely changes yeah so you have to have like a whole new model especially when you're like making these like little widgets to make sure that you can reuse for other projects yeah always gets you and then if you print it like say it's uh facing up or facing down now it's like completely different because you have to have like um supports on it completely changes cool all right i think that is this week's what are we prototyping yeah yeah real quick with your shop talk oh yeah um yeah we got a there yeah we got a nice like walkthrough of some of the tips the that you might find helpful in uh designing a snap fit case so uh this week it was a it was a video on just sketch the etch a sketch case and some things to be aware of when you're designing a case particularly for the tft feather wing and a feather there's just some things about the mounting holes and the display bezel and things like that so check it out it's just a nice little walkthrough of uh some of the things i learned i got the link it's applicable to you know all folks too it's not just particularly to fusion just like design notes okay i got the this week's community make we got some time lapses every tuesday we publish a time lapse video on some cool designs from the community this week we got something from david makes stuff this is a oh this is an excellent fruit bowl with a sweet vernoi pattern this thing is so cool yeah these these these shapes look so cool when they're growing they look like they're growing all right definitely check out uh his profile there is a bunch of these vernoi yeah we'll take a look looking patterns this one caught my eye i forget who i saw printing this out i was like that looks so cool i'm like the shape of it and obviously a good little way to have your fruits displayed especially if your child is always begging for more apples or oranges it's fairly large um no supports and awesome time lapse a little bit of a clean up there just because of the way that the head moves over for the time lapse and uh yeah here it is it holds a crystal i'm a real diamond yeah with the shadows you can totally see like the layer lines for that but otherwise adds some texture to it i like their lines nice and strong like yeah those are really good like uh the sediments and i think there's also like uh um like a thing that you could put inside here so um objects can drop through yeah so you can definitely have that printed out as well let me check out the um his profile page yep let me go to the thing over his page all right so this is dave make stuff this is his profile see he's got some great photos of if you're talking about yeah print that out as well no supports needed right okay and supports shout out to dave it's a free download so you folks can just print it out this is like is this scalable you can probably scale it you should be able to scale it yeah bigger one okay and uh yeah it does some fantastic things he's got a whole t-set i think he's the one who uh was being posted about yeah for the shoes gives out a really nice very nice shoe design yeah again it looks like the verno i think that's great definitely the thing on this page i like that t t pot four pages sweet and we posted about um dave make stuff yeah the skull jewelry we posted about wow so definitely give them a follow that's really cool stuff yeah here's the skull stuff the fantastic cool so shout out to dave make stuff or make some awesome things yeah mushrooms yes even that uh coffee cup yeah i like the shoe it smells like the adidas shoes i like how yeah it gives it away as a like a reference for uh making the shoe and check that out cannot really good i think is that ninja flicks says that it's a tpms tpms i don't know cool all right well i made it on shape so cool nice all right so shout out to dave make stuff or post it up they're great designs and we have some community make stuff that was sent to us shout out to everybody for sending their makes we'll run through them real quick here get the links quick enough all right this is a really awesome build shout out to alistair like men on fingers are posting up their make of the dark saber three printed dark saber prop with prop maker feather wing and a feather and some new pixels this is fantastic this is like this is perfect so these are the man learning comics adorned on the wall that is freaking fantastic i love the length of it and that's a permanent pleasure um and the scripture says uh added the man learning walk in my office gonna hide the wire so you can keep it up that's brilliant yeah that is so cool that's so cool it seems uh okay we got printed in uh isan pet g gray printed on a mini but that's not option here oh okay now mini prusa excellent sweet and uh here's another photo of the post process oh my god gorgeous whoa holy crap that is gorgeous that's so much sanding wow i love it looks great you guys know me i never sand anything so anytime we see somebody go through them just we know how much time and the effort that goes in there yeah this is yeah all right here's another one so okay shout out to i'll start like men again for posting up their make again another one here this is from uh tactical pickle gaming posted up a remix part of another prop this is the key blade from kingdom hearts um so a couple years ago we designed a key blade it's a kind of like a sword that looks like a key and it's from the video game series kingdom hearts gotta give it that backstory but uh looks like a tactile pickle had an issue printing it it says after printing all the parts um it ended up snapping at the smaller red end after printing it again and breaking it again i decided to combine the color in the first blade section together figured i'd upload it in case others find it useful yeah i think folks find it useful i also have snapped mine in that area too because the kiddo is rough but yeah um really cool to see folks remix our stuff and make it work for them and if you are a fan of kingdom hearts there are plenty of kits for making your own key blade yeah cool shout out to tactical pickle gaming sharing their remix one last one or two last ones here come on here from prusa printers this is a make of the raspberry pi hq camera for the pi four so if you're looking for a let's a snap fit case for your raspberry pi hq camera project check this one out um click on it to make it bigger this also looks this is posted up by uh stefan m64 on prusa printers says the hardware to put it together is a bit annoying but this uh but is a bit annoying to source but overall a decent case for the yeah for like hq and pi four yeah finding screws can be hard sometimes but uh looks great way to kind of keep your pie nice and secured cool and to end it off we have another dark another dark saber from the mandalorian star wars i'm like cool so so black sheep studio split this up on prusa printers this is a work in progress as i chucked up i chucked in some random usb leds i had so not the right size quality or amount of leds compared to the near pixels who's the guy but they should do for uh for party in a couple weeks and then maybe my birthday i'll buy the proper leds and feather wing etc also debating making the the track wider i can find a cheaper or stock leds yeah very cool look at that i like how it glows on the inside yeah it's an unexpected effect to see glow on the inside it's pretty cool there that was posted up by black sheep studios cool i'm thinking these dark sabers all right and that's the sweetest community makes shit it's everybody for sharing your makes it's it's a thing i really really makes my day when folks post up for stuff yeah it's like hey it works yeah hey it worked or hey it didn't work or here's a remix that worked for me very cool all right so tonight we have a special show in chell it's gonna be hosted by jp jumpfark's gonna be hosting it this week and then shortly after lamar and phil will be doing ask an engineer on the same uh time schedule it's on wednesdays at eight p.m normally you would say et eastern time but here in america we have this thing called daylight savings time so it's dst so it's eight p.m dst sorry people are probably tuning in to show like hey where's 3d hands like we're over started it cool so uh yeah come into uh show and tell we hope to see you there you can get uh the invites by hanging out in the discord chat room i'll post the stream yard link there a couple of minutes before it starts so get in show us your awesome project cool show it up and uh you'll get a 10% off coupon code uh on ask an engineer it'll start at 8 p.m tonight cool and then tomorrow we have jumpfark's workshop every thursday at 4 p.m what is the daylight savings time dst i don't know hopefully this stays permanent this year i see that the bill is going in to get signed into law so hopefully no more time changes okay on fridays it's normally a deep dive with scott uh scott would be out for a couple weeks and in the meantime we have foamy guy tim will be uh doing the deep dives so deep dives with tim i need to update the spanner so it has tim's face i know we're joking to add like this avatar that he has on there like photoshopped like a little piece of tape on there make it look like we taped it on but i'm sure i'll get his photo once uh gets in the office cool like in the year all right and then uh on sundays is uh from the disability data doing up uh so what is it no the great search for jitki and some sneak peek stuff mondays is the circumfile meeting so if you want to tune in live so you can hear uh what the circumfiles are working up whatever what they're up to and the community at whole it's every monday at 2 p.m daylight savings time cake every monday at 2 p.m no and then tuesdays is on park's part of the week you can get up to 50% off select items so be sure to tune in live because it only works during live the show and that's every tuesday at 4 p.m or 1 p.m pacific time daylight savings time i mean we're wrapping back around wednesdays

you so much for kind words and you know good luck with all your making endeavors we hope everybody is getting into it and keeping busy but until then remember to make a great day yeah see you later in the night see it tonight folks take care bye use it


Hello and welcome to the Kimanas Park Highlight Show, this week we'll recap the race card from Saturday November 11, a total of 10 races were contested. This was a memorable day of horse racing at Kimanas Park where we were able to witness Brian Spuddy Rickman teaming up in the cons box with lead track announcer out of Gulfstream Park, the smooth Pete Aiello. Let's begin our recap of this weekend's racing with race 1. This was the Lotto Trophy, a three years old and up claiming event going 1,300 meters and 11 horse field reduced to 10 with a scratch of a secret traveler from the 11 draw. Michael Sims is ready, they're off for the first and right away, storm presses the eject button and gets rid of the rider as they charge past the six. Dent Street is battling early for that lead, the casual affair right alongside, Rassim Manuel moving with them, just about a half a length separates the first three as they go flashing past the five. Modern Miracle is three lengths in behind them, Majita now making improvement on the rail, turn on the light, splitting those horses. Inspired Miracle races up with fault line, and then Sir John as they arrive at the half mile and go rushing into the turn. Seven sixteenths of a mile to run in the first and Rassim Manuel now eks out the lead by just over a length. Casual Affair continues to chase in second as they go blasting past the three, turn on the light, switched on on the outside and now wound up for more run. Dent Street has made progress, Majita is on the rail five or six off that lead. Modern Miracle racing on the outside, Sir John racing for the back with inspired Miracle, fault line is next at the back of the field, but Rassim Manuel the rider has a peep in his mirrors and Rassim Manuel turns on with three sixteenths remaining opening up, what could be an unstoppable advantage? Majita on the far side with inspired Miracle here is Sir John in the green silks now asked to kick in late, but it is Rassim Manuel with a clear advantage, a sixteenth to run. Rassim Manuel and Robert Halledin have opened up some four or five lengths. There's no catching Rassim Manuel, he's tying up in the end, but we'll get there done more than enough to win it over Sir John. Then inspired Miracle, modern Miracle, Majita is fifth. Robert Halledin again looking confident in the saddle since his return to riding at Kimana Spark, powering the seventy one Rassim Manuel to victory by one and three quarters of a length ahead of Sir John in second. Race two was the third run in of the BGLC Toba Jamboree sprint, a maiden special weight event for native red two-year-olds. Queen of Soul from the five box was the one to five favorite. On commentary for this one was Pete Aiello with his Kimana Spark debut race car racing and the BGLC Toba Jamboree sprint. That is a specially quick beginning for Queen of Soul, but Halledin's on the go with fast and furious lengths who poach is a two-length advantage in a hurry up to the outside. Queen of Soul is now rushed into second. Rosetta is at the rail in between horses. Warrior Stomp shuffled the fourth length and a half back to Hamaya and Matuso as last of all as they swing to the far turn fast and furious links sharp so far into the turn on top by two. Queen of Soul second Rosetta moving at the inside it up into second. Now these top three have seven on our fourth running Warrior Stomp. Matuso is a long way behind with Hamaya as they run to the top of the stretch. This big favorite Queen of Soul better hurry up as fast and furious lengths at the five sixteenths on top two and a half to stablemate. Rosetta takes up the slack second in the rap at the top of the stretch. Here comes Rosetta to engage fast and furious lengths. Halledin throws across at fast and furious lengths. She's still the leader. Rosetta runs at her on the outside second. Queen of Soul has been defeated. There's an eighth of a mile to go. Jason DeCosta one to fast and furious links responding to challenges. Rosetta one more time. Rosetta starts to get to her fast and furious links driven out. Fast and furious links digging in on the outside. Rosetta's at a time. Fast and furious links went down the road. Rosetta was second from Matuso, who was up for third. This big favorite Queen of Soul floundered late. She finished fourth. Agita, while I finish on a natural double for Jockey Robert Hardball. Halledin aboard the Jason DeCosta conditioned of fast and furious link who stopped the clock at one minute and a 15 seconds flat. Race three, the pick three trophy was a restricted allowance event going 1,000 meters straight. A seven horse field was declared to start with the importer, Talona, a clear three to five favorite in the betting. From the center, Talona gets the first call and goes looking for the early lead. Babylon will fall, got away well on the outside. Phenomenon is a bit slow and described, beaten for speed while down toward the inside. And it's a k a storm in Tigray Express. Great trick has no early speed and tacking over to the outside. David Jalen just ahead of him as they come down past the opening eighth of a mile up in the center. Babylon will fall doing battle with Talona. These two kick on phenomena is back to third. Tigray Express is their fourth with a k a storm. Ava Javelin has a lot of ground to make up. And so does great trick out run in the early stages here. As Phenomenon now splits horses to go after Talona. They come past the quarter pole now and the leader is Talona under pressure to hold it. Phenomenon is second down the center and coming on a bit as Babylon will fall. Talona the public pick under O'Neil Mullings driven out up on the outside. It's now second to Babylon will fall. Phenomenon is back to third, but the betters had it right. Talona making four to five look like easy money by three in the end. Babylon will fall second, a k a storm finish third phenomena back to fourth. That's the third. Talona makes it easy money in the third with a convincing win over second place. This finisher Babylon will fall a k a storm in third and a funnometer closing out the top four finishers raised for the pick for trophy. Another restricted allowance event this time going a mile or 1600 meters with a 10 horse field declared to start. Lead and rider Rayon Lewis, the mount of the four to five favorite life is life. Blowing the start badly. Here comes Doc about seven lengths slow from the outside. Golden Royalty was away alertly and right to the early lead. May Sellington has speed and Warhorse mixing it up from between as they run out of the one mile shoe. It's Golden Royalty and on the inside Warhorse, their heads apart for the top. Moe Aviator and May Sellington racing into third and fourth. Life is life. The favorite is out the center in the clear. Power of her eye. This is between horses, a gap of two and a half more to Mr. Senator than slam dunk. He's off the speed third last second last is money box. And the trailer is here comes Doc. They approach the five eighths and up top, the leader is still up top. It's Warhorse of Bilington a quarter out the center. Life is life gets a beautiful drafting trip. He's in the clear on the outside and beginning to make a move from between horses. Power of her highness is right there with Moe Aviator at the rail running home a bit from the back is Mr. Senator passing May Sellington. Golden Royalty puts the Q in the rack down inside goes. Here comes Doc at the back or slam dunk and money box around the far turn at the three for a long point. Still up front, Warhorse and Parchment trying to hold firm. Life is life driven second up on the outside. Mr. Senator now third here comes Doc starts to run home again with a less than a quarter of a mile to come up front. Warhorse still the target trying to spring the upset driven on the outside. Life is life tries to go get him wide of them and Mr. Senator up the inside. Here comes Doc. He's rolling home with an eighth of a mile to go. Who do you like here inside? Here comes Doc takes the lead and here comes Doc moving clear. Life is life trying to get into second right alongside Warhorse. Late run from May Sellington with a 16th to go. The upset is on. Here comes Doc driven out. Here comes Doc and Jocky Tevin Foster to win it by five in the end. Life is life was second. May Sellington finished third. Fourth was Warhorse then Mr. Senator in the fourth. Tevin Foster obsesses the apple card with a long 20 to one shot on board. Here comes Doc beating all the favorites with the wind margin of five lengths in a one minute 42 and a three-fifths of a second flat over the one mile course. Saturday's fifth event was the Superlotto Trophy, a restricted allowance event going five and a half furlongs. A 13-horse field reduced to 11 with a scratch of millennium star from the nine bots and the principal Tiffany from the 13 draw. In field nine, they're off. 1100 meters. Hunzer is the one that came off in a stuttering start as they charge down and leave the five. Travellers Lodge grabs that lead, attacked early by best daughter-in-law and best daughter-in-law now picks up that lead and opens up a gap over Travellers Lodge racing in second as they hit the half mile and swing into that turn for home.  Tap it, good rushing down into third ahead of King Aaron, the Red Sleeves on the rail. Mini DeWack races up next in the yellow. These are followed up by the gifted one. Diamond Rock races as they have left the three. Hunzer trying to close up on the outside. Ahmad Ali is the one right against the rail. Also long toward the back and without remorse trails as the field come thundering into the top of the lane. They've got to catch best daughter-in-law, the favorite, and she's opened up a gap over the field. Tap it, good is under the stick and trying to close, but best daughter-in-law is full of run now getting a touch of that right hand stick as they arrive at the furlong pole. It is best daughter-in-law. Here is Hunzer now launching a serious attack. Best daughter-in-law running on fumes and now folds like a dead bird as Hunzer comes scooting by on the outside and Hunzer is running away from them in the end. Hunzer will come away on the devastating Dane Dawkins to win by maybe seven. It's close between Diamond Rock on the rail. Best daughter-in-law. It's also a three way photo with Ahmad Ali, the gifted one in between horses and on the rail King Air. Trainer Philip Elliott gets his first win on the Saturday card with his four year old chestnut called Hunzer coming in at odds of seven to one with the champion Jackie Dane Dawkins in the saddle. We take a break from this first segment of our highlights package and when we return we recap the remainder of the races on the card. Welcome back to the Kimana's Highlight Show. We continue with the remaining races on the card from Saturday November 11 picking up at the Ray 6. This was a restricted maiden condition event, the Cashpot Trophy. All 15 horses declared to start. Trainer Stephen Todd's Ertego, the mount of Dane Dawkins was the hot eight to five favorite in the betting.  Ertego racing down on the outside. Zane's princess is next. Beautiful moon in a handy spot. She's alone now picking up runners on the outside. Maybe four and a half length separates that bunch. They're tracked by a dream warrior. Xylophonic Steel is next. Here comes Kennedy Yellow with the green cap to kill a mockingbird. Now beginning to make some late progress as they leave the half mile pole. Security code is now overtaken by a Juby Wapwap. Oh my, racing down on the outside. Security code fading back over taken by a little Miss Nisha. Toward the back of the field tequila flight and a long way lost to the awful beginning of Uncle Sil. They leave the five sixteenth. They're coming into the lane. They're at the top of it. And Miss Linton has them off their legs and holds the advantage. The rider becoming a busy man. Miss Linton gets a cracker. Two of the right hand stick. Zane's princess under a vigorous ride over against the rail. Ertego in the center also asks for everything. But can they catch Miss Linton and Ramon in a pair? It doesn't seem possible. Miss Linton not showing any signs of stress. And Miss Linton begins to open up inside the final sixteenth. The chase is on for a minor share. Miss Linton will romp the event. Dream Warrior running on will grab second. Ertego in a photo with oh my. Here comes Kenny's next possibly ahead of Zane's princess. Miss Linton gets a clean break at the start and with that show the rest of the field a clean pair of heels from gate to wire in what was an eight length wind margin in front of second place finisher Dream Warrior oh my was in third. And the favorite Ertego in fourth. Race number seven was the Elizabeth Distaff an overnight allowance event for three year olds and up Phillies and Mears only. The favorite desert of Malibu looking to make it four wins from four starts at Kim and the Spark. They're racing in the Saint Elizabeth Distaff. Excellent beginning outside for Desert of Malibu. She was quick in the stride and she settles into a nicer rhythm working a length in front early. Baby like now moves to take second from between horses that's Luxall and early third American tap fourth at the inside in hand at this stage with Randy Bengala working out the center out the back early the trailers are sister and treasure outbidder and ring charmer down the back stretch. They go American tap moving through inside of Desert of Malibu Desert of Malibu leads by a neck American tap is second up to the outside and now third is Luxall toward the inside. Randy Bengala just lost a position. She was passed by sister and treasure. Second last is outbidder and the trailer is ring charmer. They leave the back stretch and move now into the forward turn less than half a mile to go. Desert of Malibu and Dane Dawkins get serious. They open now a length and a half on American tap who's angled off the inside to make her bid second. Two and a half back to baby like she's now third driven and dropping back is Luxall. Randy Bengala has a lot to do but she's underway eight lengths off the speed with five, six teams to go. Desert of Malibu trying to stretch her speed. She's off the turn two lengths better than American tap and they start to get away from the others. Less than a quarter of a mile to come and the St. Elizabeth's to staff and they're on their way home. Desert of Malibu Dawkins asked her to finish what she started. She's an eighth of a mile from home and she's still well clear. American tap tried but couldn't get to her up the inside baby like running a giant race sister and treasure and outbidder or next but inside the funnel 16th she'll go four for four. She's undefeated. She's desert of Malibu. An authoritative winner of the St. Elizabeth's to staff by five in the end. Baby like at a big price for second. It's close for third photo between American tap and sister and treasure. No doubt about the winner. She's good real good desert of Malibu. Another great race called by Pete Aelo complimenting the impressive desert of Malibu who now has four consecutive wins from four starts locally. Second place went to baby like sister and treasure third and American tap in fourth. Race eight and the day's feature was the Jamaica Cup.

The main camera here with surf station show you how to get your board and eventually it's capable. At first you're going to want to make sure your nose and your tail are lined up with the correct side of the grip and easy way to just do that is graphic will normally tell you. This is the nose, this is the tail, the tail is normally smaller than the nose just by a little bit. If you have a grip with the design then just make sure it's facing up the right way. You're going to want to start by peeling a couple inches back on your grip making sure it's all lined up across the board so you don't have to peel it up and restart just like that. Keep that around just for later and you're going to slowly just start pushing the grip on. Don't worry about the air bubbles you'll get those down later.  You've got it all on there, laid down, you're going to want to take your scraper and scale the side of the board.     You're going to grab a little corner of your grip, you're going to put your blade right up against your deck and give it a little force and just push up and you should have your blade sticking out of the top right there and once you do, be very careful and just slide it down, slow and steady so you can have nice smooth cuts, twist, patience is key.  I've got my old wheels, my old trucks, putting them on the new deck, I'm going to show you guys how to do that real quick. You're going to need your skate tool, screwdriver, if you don't have a screwdriver that comes with it, any normal Phillips head screwdriver will do. Righty-tidy, lefty-loosey obviously, you just put a screwdriver to the bolt, skate tool to that thing, you have to get all the trucks and all the bolts off properly disposed of this deck. You got rid of that old one, you're going to want to get your old hardware, put them in upside down on your board and do the same thing on the other side and once you've poked them all the way through, take them out and put them on the right side of your board so that you'd be setting up your chunks.   Once you're done screwing in that last bolt, get rid of your tools, take that chair back, test it out.


I'm starting with Ian Reeves. Ian is a PhD student at the University of North Carolina. He also won this year the Savitsky Student Modeler Award. So a big applause, which is kind of weird in this virtual environment. Ian has a strong numerical background in modeling coastal systems. And today he will present how seagrass dynamics impact a coupled long-term evolution of barrier, marsh, and bay systems. So let's see if we can get Ian's screen up there. Thank you. Go ahead, Ian. There. You seen the slide now? Yes. Yes, cut your slide. And we can hear you. Thank you. So I am excited to share with you this project of mine that investigates the ways in which seagrass impacts the evolution of barrier island coastal systems with a new coupled model of mine. And this new model uses parameterizations developed with data from the Virginia Coast Reserve long-term ecological research site, which is where this picture of a barrier marsh and bay comes from. So barrier marshes, the systems consist of a barrier island separated by an island by salt marsh and a shallow bay. And they're especially valuable both economically and microbiologically, being helped and heavily populated until the most productive and diverse ecosystems known. But the lower leaf of these landforms often results in a very dynamic system that is probable to seal or rise, changes in sense of light and storms. So barrier islands and salt marshes are a naturally sealing environment. So in response to seal or rise, barrier islands seem to migrate upward and landward to maintain the area of exposure. And this is done through the process of overwash, where sediments eroded from the short race and beach is transported landward of the Ducast during storms. And marshes maintain their elevation relative to seal or hold food, both physical and biological feedbacks that couple the rate of seal or rise with the rate of soil accretion. So these feedbacks allow many marshes to survive modern accelerated seal or rise. But a seal or rise is too high or over as flexes too low. Barrier islands respond by disintegrating and drowning plates. Similarly, seal or rise is too fast for some accumulation of marsh platforms to keep pace, marshes will drown. But marshes collapse can also occur from windway origin at the marsh edge. So recent studies have highlighted the importance of the interaction between adjacent subsystems and determining the behavior and evolution of the system of the whole. And have brought the light in important ways in which their islands can impact back their marshes and back their marshes can impact their islands. But now looking at the back their bays, seagrass can also potentially impact the evolution of the coupled system by altering the sediment dynamics and ways which is in this environment. So first, seagrass reduces the wave height in the bay. So therefore, it reduces the wave energy reaching the marsh edge and shorelines. And additionally, seagrass attenuates the wave and continues stresses acting on the sediment bed. So this reduces re-suspension and enhances deposition of fine sediments. This occurs both within the meadow itself but also in the surrounding bear areas of the bay. So these effects along with production of organic matter within the meadow tend to result in seagrass beds having shallower equilibrium depth. But bear portions of the bay also tend to be shallower than they otherwise would in the presence of seagrass. So these dynamics suggest that seagrass can play an important role in the evolution of the entire bear islands marsh and bay system. And those studies previously examined these systems coupled together. So this work aims to investigate the long-term impact of seagrass on bear marsh bay systems by incorporating seagrass dynamics of the back bear bay into the existing bear marsh marmalade G-Best plus plus to create the new model G-Best plus plus seagrass. So G-Best plus plus seagrass is a two-dimensional cross-shore marmalade which will behave well. That simulates the morphologic and also stratigraphic evolution of the bear island transect over decades to millennia in response to seal alliterates in the cinnamon spot. And the model is unique and that allows the user to define the stink striver units with the stink to cinnamon characteristics. Units are labeled here on the left along with the proportion of sand relative to mud for each unit in brackets. So in this new integrated model where seagrass can grow and how dense it can be is determined by the depth of the bay and the distance from the marsh edge. Then in turn the location, size and density of seagrass meadows in the model reduces the depth of the bay and attenuates the wave power reaching the marsh edge which tends to result in less volume of marsh load. And all of these relationships and dynamics were parameterized using empirical data from seagrass experiments as well as morphologic data sets at the Virginia Coast Reserve, L-T-E-R. So here's a short animation of just an example stimulation from the model where you can see the bear islands keeping laneward, the meadow in the bay, the green, the marsh eroding in the bay deepening. You'll notice that eventually the bay becomes too deep for seagrass to persist so the meadow goes away. So in the model, sediment is brought into the back bear basin via the bay sediment flux. This represents the volume of sediments imported into the bay from combination of plurial inputs, temporary storm surge channels and inlet exchange. So this fills the combination space in the bay. Sediment can be lost from the back bear basin via the export flux, which is the fixed percentage of suspended sediment that's eroded from the bottom marsh edge that's lost from the back bear to represent inlet sediment export with the open ocean. So sediment eroded and lost creates a competition space within the bay. And so it's this competition between back bear space being created versus space being filled that determines whether or how much a marsh will propagate or not. And so after developing G-Bus Plus Plus CGS Iran, three sets of experiments to look at the impacts of CGS and both the adjacent marsh and the non-adjacent bearer islands. And so this first set of experiments looks at the effects of CGS on a marsh width. So here I ran simulations with and without CGS at 48 combinations of relative sealer rides increasing on the x-axis and base sediment flux increasing the y-axis. I then calculated the difference in the final width at the end of each simulation between the correspond the CGS and no CGS pairs at each location across the primary space. And this is represented by the coloring where red means the marsh with narrower CGS and blue means the marsh was wider CGS. I then the marsh is pro-grading in the simulations above the diagram line and are eroding the simulations below the diagram line. And then lastly, I ran this exact primary space with three different export flux values. So zero, meaning all sediments was conserved within the back bearer basin which I've shown here as well as 15% and 25%. So for pro-grading marshes, I found that in all cases the marsh is wider with CGS. So therefore CGS enhances marsh propagation. And this is intuitive because as I mentioned for CGS tends to decrease the volume of marsh road by 10 widths. For eroding marshes, where some of the suspended sediments in the back bearers exported to the ocean, marshes also wider with CGS. So therefore CGS reduces erosion in this case. But for eroding marshes, we're also going to consider this thing in the back bearer. I find the CGS tends to do the opposite and it's presently enhances the origin. So the question is why does CGS tend to reduce marsh edge erosion when some sediments is exported from the day but increase marsh edge erosion when export is negligible? Well, CGS reduces the volume of marsh eroded by attenuating race, but there are other less intuitive mechanisms that drive the pattern observed here. So first as the marsh expands further into the bay, the CGS meadow tends to shrink because the encroaching marsh reduces available CGS habitats. And the sediment that's eroded from the edges of the shrinking CGS meadow is then able to be transported to the marsh resulting in further marsh propagation and further CGS loss, so this is a positive feedback. In the reverse case, an expanding CGS meadow, coupled to a receding marsh, can sequester sediment that will be delivered to the marsh and thereby increase marsh erosion risk. So second, the presence of CGS results in a shallower bay invests a shorter marsh skirt. So all other things being equal, a shorter marsh skirt requires more lateral marsh erosion and taller marsh skirt for every unit volume of sediment eroded. So considering this hypothetical case here, where the marsh skirt with CGS is half of the skirt without CGS, in order to erode a volume of V, the marsh has to erode laterally twice as far in the presence of CGS. And so the reverse is also true where a shorter marsh skirt will tend to prograde more under this. So of the three mechanisms that I've discussed, only, so that's less marsh volume eroded and less sequestration of sediments in the shallower equilibrium depth. Only the reduction in the volume of marsh eroded decreases lateral erosion rates whereas the other mechanisms tend to increase lateral erosion rates. So when all sediment is conserved in the back there, the ability of CGS to reduce the volume of marsh sediment eroded becomes basically inconsequential because most of the sediment eroded will just go back to marsh eventually. So under these conditions, the other mechanisms that tend to increase erosion rates control the evolution of marsh. And this particular finding, of course, is only really relevant to natural systems where the back barrier of sediments lost is very small. So we can conclude that CGS increases marsh predation rates and under many circumstances reduces erosion rates, but may enhance marsh erosion when the back barrier of ice sport is negligible. And so the second set of experiments demonstrates the impact of adding or removing CGS to or from the bay. So these are forced simulations during marsh width over time, which you see cases either added or removed after year 100. The input parameters were set to produce either eroding or grading marshes. And the black lines are the control cases for each simulation, which the state changed to not occur. So from this, we can see that the removal of CGS causes a significant marsh predation event. So as the CGS disappears after the first 100 years, they bottom our roads to its new deeper equilibrium depth which stands in this repulse sediment that's eroded from the CGS meadow to the marsh causing the marsh to purgate. When sediment is added, CGS meadow and the surrounding bare portions of the bay sequester all of the sediment delivered to the bay until the bay bottom reaches its new shallower equilibrium depth. So during this time period, the marsh receives less sediment than otherwise would causing it to erode more rapidly. And I think this particular model result may be especially relevant to CGS restoration projects that could perhaps unintentionally impact adjacent marsh in undesirable ways. So these results emphasize the role of sediment as an essential but limited commodity where the growth and preservation of one landform is necessarily at expense of other cover levels. And then this last set of experiments investigates the effects of CGS on bare island migration. So these simulations run for 1,000 more years, both within that CGS using varying base sediment flux to maintain constant marsh widths of 0, 2,000 meters and in the back bay base in completely full marsh. So when no back bay marsh exists, the presence of CGS decreases island migration rates. But when the back bay marsh is greater than zero, CGS has no effect on island migration rates. So in the model, CGS decreases the depth of both the CGS and bare portions of the bay so it reduces back bay accommodation space and reduce accommodations less sediment needs to be eroded from the front of the island and part of it behind the island or for the island to maintain its elevation both to the sea level. So therefore it can migrate landward more slowly. But there's a reduction in accommodation only impacts on immigration if it's within the zone of which overwash reaches the bay and the bare island migrates. So that is only if the marsh is essentially not existent. Otherwise, if the marsh does exist, the island migrates even more slowly and CGS has no impact on greater migration. So in the absence of marsh, these results suggest that CGS can help perhaps stabilize great islands and reduce their vulnerability to sea level. And with that, I will leave you with the key findings of this work as I take in questions.
