Welcome back to another 3D, we're at Adafruit, joining me every week for the Pedro. Good morning everybody, I'm Pedro, I'm Creative Tech here at Adafruit, and every week we're here to share 3D printed projects featuring electronics from Adafruit. That's right, this is a show we combine 3D printing and DIY electronics inspired folks. Hello everybody, we're back from the hurricane. Yeah. We were very lucky and fortunate. We had to kind of bring a lot of things in the house, but we fared fairly well. So thanks for everybody shouting us out and thinking about us on the Discord. We're hanging out on the Discord.

There's an adafruit gift guide if you want to check that out and there's plenty of Halloween-esque projects in the learn system if you want to get inspired, remix. There's all sorts of fun demo code, 3D models, printables, craftables. I just like this kind of rough edge. I never get to use it, so it matches really well. And shout out to Bruce DeAnne for doing the artwork on this lovely banner. I like Happy's Mario hat. Happy's Mario hat. And Eight of Boats and Astronauts.  It's for the costume. It's cobwebs, it's cobwebs. All right, let's head back over to the to the Discord chat room. Shout out to everybody hanging out to many characters next. DeWester, Skr, Paul Cutler, Vince, Rosyn, Liz. Liz, but city DIY in the house. Evil Dave of Canada. Evil Dave, it's Halloween, evil's fair. And some pecs on Twitch, good morning. Koa, we have a lot of fun projects this week, so we're gonna run through them. We'll probably do a quick guide pass through because the guide's massive and we need to run through it because it normally takes us an hour, like half an hour to get through the guide. Let's just run through it. Yeah, we wanna see that space launch happen. Yeah, it's gonna happen an hour. Right when we end, so. So yeah, let's go ahead and hurry up. Yeah, let's go. Adafruit Learn System. We got this very fun LED noodle lantern. I said that wrong, LED. Did I say the LED noodle lantern? Yeah. Okay. So these Adafruit noodles are super fun and rad and everybody bought them out like right away, which is cool. They come in different colors. They're extremely flexible. They have like this bit of a silicone sheathing thing and they're kind of easy to work with. So we thought we'd do like some LED signs like our Neopixel neon signs that we did a couple of weeks ago. So we figured we'd do something like that and as I was developing like a shape, I thought how about I just put them all together and mount them vertically so we can make a bit of like a lantern or a kind of like a sci-fi container. I got inspired by like the kyber crystal from Star Wars containers. They kind of have this cool cylindrical shape to them. So these are all the LED noodles, all of the different colors. We have pink, blue, green, yellow and red and I think I have two blue ones in there. They're all wired up to a QT Pi RP2040 that snap fits onto this Permaprotoboard and it's portable thanks to the LiPo charger BFF add-on which is something that you can add on to a QT Pi format dev board. It lets you do USB charging so you can charge a battery and it's kind of a clever design in the fact that you have the battery mounted on the inside so the cylindrical battery fits into the little battery clip and you can kind of start to make out the way the wiring is done. We have a metal push button. It's a latching button, not momentary latching and we have a built-in LED. It also has a built-in resistor inside of this very nice fancy 16 millimeter button and what we're doing here with it is we have the LED tied up to one of the GPIO pens and the button itself is also tied to a separate GPIO pen and when you press the button it turns the LEDs on and when you have it turned off it leaves the LEDs off and the reason why we did that is because with the battery add-on, the BFF, when you have the USB charging the LiPo battery the circuit will stay on so we figured why don't we add a button to turn the LEDs off so that I have the ability to turn it off and the reason why I didn't tie the on-off button to let's say the batteries is because if they turn off the battery then I can't charge the battery so you can do all that in CircuitPython it's super easy to control LEDs using the PWM library or you could use just straight up digital IO library to turn them on and off but this is pulsing each one on and off and you have full control over kind of the brightness and which pen is linked to which LED noodle so that's the gist of it. What else can I say? It probably will last several hours since it's a 2200 cylindrical LiPo battery it's, we like these LiPo batteries because they're more kind of sturdy or they're more durable rather than some of the soft pouch LiPo's but yeah, all of these noodles are press-fitted into these 3D printed little holders and all the holders themselves are press-fitted into this kind of mounting plate that's secured to the rest of the assembly. Some other kind of fancy things you've seen us do printed place handles before so this is a similar design but just size to fit on top of this kind of top cover so different parts they all print without any support material you can print them on just about any 3D printer because they're kind of a small-ish they will fit within like 100 by 100 build volume which is great and if you're wondering about this right here this is just a piece of transparent film like overhead projection paper it just wraps around and the there's a bit of a channel at the bottom mounting plate there that allows us to wrap around and then I'm using a piece of tape transparent tape you can't even see it because it's all transparent it works really well. You could use some pet, a sheet of pet if you want to do something like a millimeter thick you can do that as well but I chose to do this because it was a lot easier to work with. Yeah, what else can I probably borrow? USB port is accessible over here with a lot of the projects we're trying to keep it modular because with a part shortage you want to be able to take out your dev board if you want to swap it out for an upgrade for example maybe you want this Wi-Fi controls you could swap this QDPI RP2040 out for a QDPI USB 32 or something else. So it is on a piece of perma-proto like we said and this is the I'm starting to really like these these are the small mint perma-protos they're designed for like a small altoids tin but there's plenty of ground and power rails and digital pins that you can kind of plug into. So I'm using some a combination of headers stacking headers to be able to use the battery add-on BFF. I think that's the gist of it. So when it comes to the noodles what you want to do is you if you want to like use one of these LiPo batteries I recommend getting one of these JST breakout boards this has a built-in switch so you can turn it on and off. This is great, I have this it's breadboard friendly now so I have this nice JST connector and then you can use a choke resistor so you don't burn out your LED noodle. So we're using a 220 ohm right here and it's wired up it can be either on the ground or the voltage pin I have it set up to the switch pin SW so that I can use the on-off switch and then these are really great these alligator clips feature these male these jumper wires that can are breadboard friendly so if you take a look at the the Tharn Guide for these noodles in the documentation tells you a good visual way to quickly note how to tell the cathode from the anode or the ground from the voltage I can't focus it's a little hole there's a little hole on the metal on the positive a little bit more back there you go there's a notable hole there it's a lot more easier to see with your eyes than this camera but that's the main difference is you get this little hole and that lets you know that's the positive lead and this right here with no hole is the negative lead and this is the shorter LED noodle it's about 130 millimeters the normal longer noodles are about 200 millimeters in length so you see this wouldn't fit in these holders so that's why I kind of have it out here we purchased one of each color and that's why I threw them all in there I think it might look more consistent if you just picked one color but I didn't because I didn't have them but this is a cool way to kind of showcase all the various colors as they faded in and out so let's set this up so you can pick these up I have a link for you folks I hope you can drop the link oh yeah I put it in there and everybody's question is one will they be back and stuck? soon we've got word we have multiple manufacturers that are reaching out with lower pricing so maybe that will... maybe we can lower the cost soon yeah so let's set these up I'm just gonna bite onto the one with the hole gets the red because that's voltage and the cathode or the ground pin gets the one with no hole so you just bite onto that and now we have these two these two connect to the breadboard so let's put the ground to the ground pin and then the switch pin has this 220 ohm resistor so let's plug that in and thank goodness these didn't touch that's why I like alligator clips because they can get pretty close and they won't touch because of this nice seething but be careful when doing this so this is a good way to just kind of test your noodle if you want to quickly power it you could also use a coin cell battery like a 3 volt coin cell battery but be careful with testing that because you don't have a resistor so that's why I'm showing it this way it's to kind of have a nice controlled way and now you have the switch there you can always turn on and off which is great and you can plug in any battery into this now so this is kind of my testing setup which I recommend folks try out before before wiring it up just so you know exactly what's going on so that's a little bit of the noodle circuit and we looked at the case we can take a look at the learning guide all right so if you head on over to learn.803.com you can see all the different parts that were used in here we got a nice slew of them the QDPI after 24 is in stock that's one of our favorite QDPIs right now if you're doing any project that's like non-wifi related this is a really awesome available debt board it's got lots of cheap payo for doing projects like this the lipo charger BFF add-on is also available you can get that the noodles are out of stock we know that batteries out of stock here are the Permaprotos small mint sized breadboard PCBs I really like these they got four mounting holes and I just like the layout of the ground and power rails are in the middle which is different than any of the other Permaprotos and for this project it just made it kind of work out better this way stacking headers we need those with these have really long pins and that allows us to kind of add on the BFF lipo charger to the bottom of the Permaproto which is nice so that's why we use that and then the on-off switch with built-in LED ring is in stock as well we have some other small things like a resistor pack although I showed a 220 ohm resistor in this particular demo in the actual noodles because we have six of them we're actually using 10 ohms 10 ohm resistors and we don't currently stock a pack so I have an Amazon link here for like a resistor pack of like one ohm all the way up to like I don't know 200K or something so it's kind of nice to have if you don't have a pack already we have some hardware some M3 nylon hardware we have those in the shop we're gonna need those for mounting the Permaproto and then to make the assembly a little bit easier we're using these MULIX cable matching pairs for the LED button which is cool and of course some 10 wire silicone ribbon cable because we really like using that to keep our wires bundled when you have more than three wires yeah so that's a list of the parts I probably went too long on that so I'm just gonna like speed round it circuit diagram has everything broken out there should be an image there maybe it's not loading there it is, now it's loading there's an image there fritzing is what we use to make these wiring diagrams it gets a little hairy here with all these wires so I try to make it, you know, nice and, you know, kind of digestible all of the ground connections from the LEDs are wired up to the 10 ohm resistors we got a ground rail a ground wire coming into the ground and the rest is there I need to run through this quickly so check that out the CAD files are available as STLs or the CAD source there's a stamp file and a Fusion 360 file I was able to fit all of the STLs on the bed of our 3D printer which is nice but you can see them all there I normally don't 3D print standoffs but these standoffs are 114 millimeters tall and that's kind of what keeps this right here like structurally sounds because there's just two standoffs in the center that kind of keeps the holders from just collapsing so that's kind of what's going on there your bid volume for your printer is there for the plastic sheet here the transparent film I don't have a template because you could just reference, you know the length and width of it and then it can be anywhere between a millimeter or less than that some CAD assembly stuff and of course if you want to use 3D models of 8 different parts you can go to our CAD parts repo on GitHub there's always a link there so I have, I used the Permaprodot the BFF add-on and the QDPI RP2040 and also the button so all of those are available in our repo CircuitPython you just want to set up install CircuitPython on the QDPI RP2040 there's always a nice full detailed page on how to do that the code is up on GitHub it's super simple I basically ripped it from the Noodle Learn Guide and just added if the switch is turned on you know, fade the LEDs and if not, just have them be set to zero brightness and that's really it but I'm sure folks if they wanted to like try to do animations you can use the button to do like different modes maybe but the code is just set up to turn it on and off so it's super simple but yeah, it's nice to see them fade all right, on to the meat and potatoes of the Learn Guide is really setting up the circuit so setting up your QDPI with headers stacking headers fitting it on to the perma-proto in the right order and then soldering all the various wires to the perma-proto that way you can pop out the QDPI RP2040 and there's nothing really soldered to it other than the male header pins the next thing is setting up the noodles when installing them the noodle holders print without any supports but they have these little special features that I think would work well if you're doing a similar LED sign where you need to hold it they have these kind of loops that allow you to kind of thread the LED noodle through and that keeps it locked in place which is nice the silicone kind of outer skin of the noodle sheathing sheathing is nice and grippy so it'll stay, you know, gripped to the holder and then another thing I did was I marked I used a permanent marker to mark the ground connection because once it's dissolved it's kind of hard to do so I also did the same thing with the mounting plates you can notice that these mounting plates have these little square holes and that is where the ends of the 3D printed holder snap fit into and they aren't exactly mirrored they aren't different so that's why I labeled them top and bottom so just T and B so you can do that so be careful when you're printing those out and then I walk through installing the standoffs installing the noodles the noodles you want to, you know, thread the pins through those little square holes and you basically end up with this so once those two standoffs are secured you can just pop those to these two mounting plates and that's kind of like your little container of your noodles onto the noodle wiring this is one of those projects where unfortunately you have to solder the wires while the thing is in place I really couldn't find any other way to do that yeah, I wish there was another way but you basically- You're over-engineering it with doing it that way I know, it's just easier Quickly looking at it and like oh, you can snap together the two halves but then that's a lot more It's so much work, yeah, I thought too hard but this is the end result it's a lot easier to do it this way but you do have to thread the wires through the thing, through the bottom actually so that's the bottom, that's why I have it labeled and then it pops through the top there and that's just kind of the order that I chose but it's, you know, it's easy enough there's enough slack in the design in the noodles to kind of manipulate and kind of work with and solder the thing without, you know being too close to the part and melting it so I did think about that so it could have been worse so once the anode wires are wired up then we do the grounds which is a little bit easier and that's kind of what your circuit looks like when you're testing it so that once all that's set in place then you can kind of attach all the rest of the things but you really want to have it in this state before continuing to testing it out that way Next up, we wire the handle, we wire up the button and then we panel mount the button to the handle and I'm using a three pinned Molex cable these are really great so you just plug it in it's doing three different things it's doing the ground, the LED and the button so that's why three makes sense here really fancy buttons you're gonna need a handful of standoffs and screws that's why we've got the M3 nylon kit to secure the Permaproto to this thing and then we kind of run through installing the thing it's really kind of really want to be focused on the order of operations because kind of, you can do it a different way but this seems to be the easiest without too much headache so basically connecting everything up and then just attaching various couplers in the case and then wrapping the plastic sheet around before you put the top cover in and then installing the battery clip kind of near the end of the assembly because now that it's set up, it won't fall apart so now you can kind of pop the two screws out and then plug in the battery clip yeah, I really like this design where you have the battery inside of the holders it kind of works out pretty well and then adding the top stuff once that's all sorted with the battery clip and then till around it out you just attach the Permaproto mount to the bottom cover and the cover gets screwed to these kind of side holes just make sure the USB port is facing the opening on that case and then just screw it together and then you're done yeah, so a little bit of a ship and a bottle type deal especially with the battery clip but that's the way to do it so I think it's fair so that is the LED noodle lantern in a shell very cool, lots of really good ideas in the discord some of the ideas in the discord I think it's very popular saying the container crystal for light year yes, that's the other one the secret of the ooze oh yeah, it's got some turtles in there I think there's something like that too from the Resident Evil games the Umbrella Corporation, you have like this canister thing yeah, so I thought about a couple different designs too but I just kind of stayed with this but this should be enough to design a holder I'll do a tutorial later on on how to, you know, the right dimensions I use for getting really good tolerances on the three-print holder for the noodle see the other one, a light bulb making a light bulb, fill them in yeah, I've been looking at a bunch of fun Edison style light bulbs like there's a lot of crafty ones on like Pinterest that I've been liking and I kept seeing a bunch of containers that kind of resemble this kind of kyber crystal Star Wars type thing but yeah, there's a lot of fun details of these notches here you get a lot of chompers and you have this kind of neat cut-away here that's very Star Wars-esque, same thing here and then you have like this kind of groove that kind of cuts through there, same thing here and yeah, I just tried to do some fun simple details that don't require any support material and of course with the glittery PLA filament you get some really nice, stellar-looking surfaces with too much effort on the post-processing so no sanding or painting or anything it's just right off the printer these look great, I think in my opinion up the downy thing in the center of the TARDIS console mm, up the downy thing yeah, mm, have to look up TARDIS console yeah like we said before, Lamar is getting quotes from other vendors so should be hopefully back in stock soon definitely sign up for notifications when they come back although I'm sure you'll see us tweet that they are back they are back we'll definitely be getting more they'll probably sell out pretty quick so we'll be on them I'll do the hack, which isn't really secret just keep Adafruit.com slash a new open refresh a couple times a day good tips good alright, so that's the LED lantern we've got much more projects to go Francis likes the alright, let's go ahead and check out what we're working on turn this off is it you? me? yeah, it's you alright, so I think we talked about it a couple weeks ago every Halloween around this time there's like new devices that come out and PT always likes to have those modeled up but to make it a little bit extra challenging he wants to make sure that they're a little bit creepy and fitting the spirit yeah, so for the new iPhone showed off the case that I redesigned for the buttons to fit me what is the 14 now? and PT had an idea which I can't show off because the creator of the original idea for this where we got the inspiration it's like completely gone I don't know who the artist is or anything but it was like a kind of like renaissance type like photo shoot and in it lady is holding her phone but her case is all like skin and like an iPhone we've done a couple of these skin type projects in the past before where there were like guts that in terms of making it creepy but also functional so in terms of the guts it was like an iPhone battery holder this one is a pop socket so it's actually usable and sort of creepy at the same time utilizing the flexible filament so we're kind of as close as we can to skin matching that and then with the powder coated bed getting some sort of texture that you would get on skin and then some little funny stuff that we did checking out Hocus Pocus too I really like that one scene where a book is trying to hide and he has a little sweat bead coming down so we mimic that in the video so having a cool it doesn't really match here under this webcam but the color is pretty close to mine this is like the caramel color that Ninja Flex and I believe Colorfab now have now these are supposed to be the four prosthetics supposed to match like skin color and all that so we wanted to definitely shout that out for them matching skins these are usually like a peach type color but they have all the different rainbow colors of what everybody else has so it's cool I think it was Lamar's request having an ear in there and this is just utilizing one of the existing pop sockets so just adding the ear onto there and then covering up the little bottom part here you can see that and this is a functional iPhone case the one that we had before was the the veranoid with the cutouts and everything so all they did was just put that back in and nice little creepy sort of supposed to have you do a double take when you're in public to accessorize your ear accessorize your ear, make it match all that and it's all Ninja Flex, it's 85A but it should work with the TPE the Cheetah so the ones that will work like on the Bowden printers but yeah, we will show off the other different colors that we have for this next week nice simple little projects we can cut up on others but it is a supposed to be a creepy skinny skin type iPhone case it looks funny when you have it up to your ear there's a little demo of what that supposed to look like like that so let's look at your ears pointing out we'll have to find the reference for that because it looks really good, it's like she's all dressed up, it's like Victorian age it doesn't look like I saw this you didn't get to see the email do they link to it? it's in the base camp and that link goes nowhere now I wish I had taken a picture because I didn't know I was going to take it down a nice way to call back book has the eye iPhone case has the ear nice challenge when PT sends projects it's like, oh here's a cool idea it's like, oh how do I make this actual functional and just not a weird project that doesn't go anywhere this is actual functional it's a good mix of it is the ear scanned? no, I'll put the link to where we found this but I should scan an ear and as Yanni is posting in the we have a good scanner in the discord we should have used a Vulcan a Vulcan ear would work well I do have one actually no, it's like the tip part it goes on to an ear okay that would be... that's just illogical nice little simple one you can modify it to fit whatever phone you have which is so cool about this it's more of like, here's an idea and you can kind of go from there the other thing we wanted to show off probably like the week or two after that new Stemma case Brent release Lauren released some updates and now I have temperature readings in Fahrenheit I just couldn't get the C format down I just had the converter open I want to try to figure out it's not one thing I want to keep going into is this converter telling me the truth or not but this is really good for measuring you know we can quickly jump into the dashboard I don't think you have it loaded up let's go for it nice little simple snap together case quick look at this if I can even open it I do need to make some modifications to make it either no I have locks on each side now but whatever so you're prototyping snap together but I guess the hero for this is the Fahrenheit reading which people across the pond will not care about since we've had C for since it launched we got inches this is a great soil sensor you've been using it now for the setup on a couple of the plants so we can get a sort of wider range of what the humidity and temperature is and what I like about this one is that you have a temperature sensor on this side so it's further away from the cutie pie so it's not getting any of the temperature bias from the cutie pie giving off heat so you're not getting any mixed temperatures that way yeah super cool size squared C of course, stomach you want to pick up one of these cables if you want to use this this right here will connect to all of the kind of dev boards like the cutie pie or the feathers and you just need a bigger JST connector for this right over here all right cool that is what's being worked on yep, you can do a quick shop talk oh, it's a shop talk yeah, I was going to show all I don't know if I really want to show it off jump into a community makes do we have time? we kind of have time so I wanted to come up with a simple kind of project to make kind of a staff from the Tusken Raider kind of project that we did it didn't have any electronics and I figured wouldn't it just be easy to add a flashlight in there and like be able to have a diffuser at the top and kind of make it into this different type of thing so I did that I figured maybe it would be a fun inspirational thing to look at so I got one of these flashlights and it's kind of one of those tactical flashlights that has a button at the end that has like a series of LEDs there it's very very bright so I figured how do I add this to my 3d print staff so I designed a little kind of coupler that allows you to kind of press fit another piece that just kind of fits through the center hole of this so the idea is that you literally just turn your flashlight on install it into your coupler bit for your staff the staff is that Tuscan Raider staff that has a bunch of coils and just all snap fits or screws fits together so now I have that and I figured what would be funny if I took the Lego head and then just adapted the bottom coil threading so that I can do kind of like this thing so now we have the flashlight inside there super easy to take out the flashlight it's running off AAA batteries so this is going to last probably for a couple hours at night and it's just super bright really easy to add in there all of this stuff is completely modular so if you wanted to swap out this piece which is like one and a half meters long or five feet there you go and you have your flashlight in there again this is from that Tuscan Raider chief staff that we released when the Book of Boba Fett was out so that's one diffuser and then it's from a previous project right? so then I took this guy which is from a very long time ago or D20 project and that also fits so you want to do like a D&D style wizard there you go got this really bright, super easy no soldering I think a lot of folks that just want to get their Halloween staff like this is great at night time because now you have this kind of walking stick and it lights up and it actually works as a functional light so you can kind of shine it around there's a lot of things you could do with 3D printed diffusers you can add vinyl stickers to kind of create this cool I don't know numbers or texture effects that sort of thing you can add on more pieces to it but yeah if folks want to download this model or this model just search on the ADR line system for LEGO head or D20 or Tuscan and you'll find the files for these things yeah I've always wanted to have a staff that I could break down completely there's several pieces here they all screw fit together and it's kind of fun to kind of make an easy simple project as a challenge it took me like an hour to kind of design it and print it out and now you can just turn off the flashlight super easy to do so just store it in there like that I don't know what do you guys think? kind of fun? kind of easy? super cool I've just made so many made so many light source and it just takes so long to develop and design and do all the stuff and it's just really fun to just throw a flashlight and have a little bit of engineering in there where it's like dude this thing is like modular, it's swappable and it's easy, it's checking a lot of boxes for me so that's why I put it together so there's an inspiration there if you want to have a light staff you can use each flashlight better request for the ori pyro pyro from stargate there you go, Pater's got links huh ooh that would be a great idea Andy Callowace is a UV uh yeah ultraviolet you know flashlight I like this so that you're using the 3D printed glow in the dark filament it bright up so good yeah that's a great idea yeah there are definitely UV flashlights what you got? this staff request for I just typed it in google they just put the name down I don't know where do I find that I'm on discord, like I'm not on google buh buh buh MMU man oh I see pyro ori pyro here we go that looks pretty cool it looks like uh oh okay, yeah like in Pandora they sell them like this could be a good one for like modge podge type instead of having to model it I'm not really good at modeling organic stuff so I'd probably go that route or take something existing you know design something existing from like a halloween spirit shop maybe it's transparent maybe you can kind of glue it and then create a 3D printed adapter so it screw fits into the thing um yeah those are all fun that kind of looks like, nevermind uh cool, yeah it sort of gets through the fun yeah it's a good one yeah or like a Gandalf staff would be cool too lots of really good ideas, I've posted the link there that has the CAD files, you can edit that dimensions and all that yeah yeah there's a staff file as well so you can open it in whatever CAD package oh dowel20 is loving the lantern design wants to do one with their own design are you making a layer by layer for us yes I will just on the holder, LED holder bit and maybe I'll take a look at the case the case is a little intense because there's a lot of just parts to it really I've got some chatter over on the YouTube about the metric yeah that's funny, measuring wise metric, we love metric yeah I got that down, I can see what that inches and stuff like that I can't compute but metric, beautiful but for like temperature wise it's like the other way around my brain will not compute the C but F, oh that's right away I know what F you know all that is alright we got about 20 minutes to three to makes so we have two to catch up on this week let's look at last week's a Deku mask yeah this is really cool because of the way that you're hiding away the eyes took me quite a while to find the material for this but we ended up working really good oh no did we freeze yeah we did at least Safari did so what I'm using here is the burlap ribbon and it does a really good job of being able to see through it and at a distance you can see just the blackness so cool and here's what it looked like yeah so this is you can kind of see in here it's a ribbon with burlap and I just hot glued it on the inside we have the window seal on the chin yeah it's like a gasket it feels nice on your head and it actually fits over with your glasses on so excited about and this is a Doku from Deku from Zelda yeah that's a bad guy so fits an adult head so good so my safaris crashed so I'm not able to show you folks you can see the sizes tell us who designed it and where it's available and all the good details maybe a link as well I literally can't do any of that stuff you can wear it the detail is really nice it looks like it's three pieces there's probably some support material yeah so the whole mask one piece support material is on the bottom because of the little tags on there the tabs to hold onto your your elastic for your face and then the leaf I cut it up in two parts just because of the way that I designed it looks like it has three pins that gets press-fitted into those holes so nice yeah a little bit of supports this is a really nice filament it looks like glittery brown which I've never seen this is from protopasta oh is this that wood stuff this is the coffee espresso bean oh dude that's awesome that looks great so protopasta makes some artisanal aromatic filament and look at the layer lines on this you're talking about the one that smells right? yeah it doesn't smell do they still do that? yeah they do so the settings for it 0.25 and the layer height because it is such a big print you can kind of see the detail on it there resolution is kind of low can you get the link there everybody? getting the links this is designed by Eileen what does the decu sound like? I didn't pull it up on youtube does it sound like Yoshi? is it like the co-rocks? yeah you found me does the decu have like a staff too? somehow like this is a weird kit bash of the halloween costumes I don't think the only one that just throws on some neopixel goggles and just goes out there like a halloween something I think it's like a leaf dress is what they wear although one of the videos that I did see there is a couple different species of them some are nice some are bad of course it's Zelda anyway this is a fun mask it's very roomy in here and yeah excellent I'm sure you got links in a lot yep positive of links check out all the stuff there or you could put this on a pumpkin or something as well that's a little mounting piece that's a play piece next up is sorry I can't believe Safari Cry I think it's good now that's funny next up is a teeth cup I'm trying awesome Dave makes stuff let's look at the video real quick super fun glow in the dark filament what is that phobia where you're scared of teeth perfect for that we're sorry Dave makes stuff right awesome details in the teeth in the bottom there and then all up on the top and then of course a bunch of teeth are included in the model teeth are weird aren't they you forget how creepy they are look at the roots of all these teeth do you want me to get the UV flashlight it's fine it actually looks a little bit better in the white because you can see the detail on the bottom on the top Dave makes stuff that's a lot of fun crazy designs like vernoi pattern generative check them out on Thingiverse cup of tea anyone teeth that's all the Gavin's teeth here how long this one is that's gross it's like your traditional brush brush so they're all printed in different two different ones like a blue ones like a green does it actually retain water it should I haven't tested it but it probably will just like here's the teeth cup so crazy shout out to Dave for making just crazy designs should make an adapter for my staff have a glowing tooth cup or just a giant tooth I'm the tooth fairy with my wand so yeah getting the hollowing spirit with a super creepy tooth cup alright so very fun now I know the comments now I know where to put the tooth I broke on a Saturday tooth cup for the tooth fairy tooth cup and check out all of Dave Mcstuff's designs yeah it's stellar stuff they're posting like oh my god sometimes like a dozen a day there's so many different iterations of lots of really cool stuff like a ton categories are all in place a lot of aces and cups and that sort of thing containers, you get a really cool one with I think it was like it looked like a knotted pattern it was like a woven fabric we got a couple of community makes as well yeah that's right I gotta run through them we have two minutes go go go go these are all links alright first up maybe it was searching on google that killed so far alright this is a make that was posted up on printables.com it's a make of the adabot robot yay you can print your own adabot so this was posted by Tom I like the I like the addition of the star looks like you painted it maybe too but it looks fun you can create your own adabot I've seen a lot of different colors of adabot now pink and all that so it's really fun alright next up we have another one here this is on printables as well so this was posted up by Niall this is our Neo Matrix Square LED pixel display I didn't have a better name for it but it's a way to kind of create these these fun displays so Niall said I use the Feather ESP32 running a new program that pulls animations from a server so they can keep track of their well I don't want to say it wrong if you can send tiny movies to my kid in college oh it is so cute it's always great to see parents making projects for their kiddos and their kiddos in college so that's cool and they can send images back and forth I don't like our two ways servo thing but you can use that with this very clever idea I like that alright moving on we got another make this was on printables as well posted up by and Percy posted up their make of our remix of a pumpkin skull or LED's in the eyes I don't think there's a comment on it but it just looks really cool that's very creepy I like it next up is a Blast from the Past this is a the Raspberry Pi game console the Pi Girl 2 posted up by R.K. Mack Mack Leond they printed theirs in some stellar marble PLA filament this looks fantastic and they have Pokemon Emerald running on it it looks really great look at that texture the Ninja Flax the TPU buttons and everything in green looks fantastic people are still making these the Pokemon photo looks fantastic with the succulents so shout out to them for posting that up it's on Thingiverse no comments but just fantastic photos alright we have this one here this is going to be interesting this was on Thingiverse this is a remix Lord Fett and they'll be glued because I didn't want the screws added to the print you could probably print electronics unless you don't want them I'm just going to glue them I think you skipped one let's see on printer bowls this is a make of the heat set rig if you want to do heat set inserts you can 3D print on our design and create your own kind of rig for making them very nice so Twixie I think on principles posted this up as I changed some of the parts to fit what I had laying around I added sockets to the wooden base to add some more functionalities let's take a look at these photos of their make cool it looks like it's like this is their own what would you call it the counterweight you can just pick your own thing pennies or ball bearings oh cool they added a power adapter to the wooden base wow I didn't do that that way it's like the cable is a little short that makes sense cool wood base that's great a lot of folks are making this it's great to see the heat set insert press check that out a lot of remixes so you know it's doable okay and to close out the show the last one here is a make posted up on printer bowls posted by grumpy scrambler says like it made a Halloween version parts are well designed thank you grumpy scrambler the laser cut their own either Halloween figurines you got Jason the scream Freddy Krueger and I think that's the this looks so good yeah yeah this is the first make I've seen the acrylic kind of art display the details are so good holy crap laser cutters are great for this that's some thick acrylic yeah looks fun cool great job grumpy scrambler so if you want to build one too you can print the parts it just uses a strip of neopixels and a cutie pie and if you got yourself a laser cutter or a CNC mill yeah these are great it's funny I made this for Christmas Halloween that's great the proper holiday to make it for which although it kind of feels like department stores and everywhere else it's already Christmas because I just saw all the merch drop it was just like 10 pages of all the Christmas stuff it's like what happened to Halloween just put our decorations up I wish I had a photo alright well that's going to do it for the show we finished off early yay did they already launch no launching in like 4 minutes alright 60 minutes or something cool we hope inspired everybody you got lots of fun ideas and things lots of things out there you just got to find some time to make it from wrapping it up whatever I want to see this rocket launch alright well thank you folks we're going to be on the show intel tonight we invite you to come on going to be hosted by mr and this is lady Ada that starts at 7 30 p.m. eastern time and then shortly after that is asking engineer that starts at 8 p.m. eastern time we got plenty of shows going on tomorrow we have John Park not John Park's product pick of the week but John Park's workshop every Thursday at 4 p.m. eastern or California time 3 hours behind 1 p.m. pacific time and then on Fridays we have a live stream from tim foamy guy every Friday at 2 p.m. pacific or 5 p.m. eastern so you got that one locked out and then on Sundays we have a live stream from lady Ada from the desk of lady Ada so you can check that one out every Sunday at hacker hours and then on Mondays we have the circuit python meeting the community meeting you can check out you can listen in live it's every Monday at 2 p.m. eastern or on Tuesday if there's a holiday on a Monday Tuesday's product pick of the week starts at 4 p.m. eastern time or 1 p.m. pacific time you can get up to 50% off select products from JP this is what JP had a beard and a mustache this was like during the pandemic stuff now I kind of like it reminds me of the evil twin brother has a mustache and a bowler hat because he did that he did the bowler hat in the Swiss Robinson movie alright I have spoken too much thank you everybody for joining us we do the show every Wednesday at 11 a.m. appreciate everybody hanging out and wishing us well on our endeavors and stuff good luck everybody on your projects until next time remember to make a great day see you guys and music


Okay, very good morning to you. Hope you are well. Wednesday, 26th of February, going to talk over what has been pretty dramatic two days in market, certainly from an equity perspective. I think the close down of 879 points from the close of what? 1031 or so that we had on Monday. So the continue dominant theme of course being the outbreak outside of China and the impact that this could have then on the potential to spread But also ramifications on the the extent on the global economy still right at the forefront of investors' attentions for this time being So looking at the asset classes this morning a little bit of stabilisation you could say But definitely will be interesting as we go in towards the rest of the session because from a calendar perspective It is relatively light today We've said this before when we've looked ahead right from the beginning of the week about how or what the Landscape is like in terms of scheduled events for this week And it certainly from a data perspective lots more speakers and stuff like that are coming out on Thursday and Friday So it does then leave a relatively clean slate for Traders still to very much focus in on the virus to be the defining factor to probably drive short-term sentiment Particularly so given the context of what's happened in the last two days So I'm not really going to look at the charts too much I'll leave Sam to do that, but I definitely want to recap exactly what is the current status and then probably more important for For you guys is what is it that I think that you need to look out for as for then What could be a trigger point for another extension of the moves we've been seeing if that were to materialize? What would the headline hypothetical news need to be? I think it's prudent to make that thinking now ahead of time so you can be more Proactive if you like if that scenario does unfold so And I must word of caution. I'm not trying to scare anyone when I talk through these scenarios but let's have a look then at the main kind of reason why and what's what's really kicked off this this Dramatic risk-off move that we've seen since the commencement of trading this week And this is looking at the cumulative confirmed cases outside of mainland China I'm going to show you the numbers in China in a moment and actually it's dropping off quite rapidly in China But that's not the issue of which markets are facing right now. It's this idea about you know actually this outbreak Particularly Italy because I'm going to run you through and you'll see that Italy is almost the epicenter now It's like the European version of Wuhan anyone who's been to Milan is then moving and causing issues elsewhere Is what's happening at the moment and it's hard remember when? Several weeks ago. It was really hard at the beginning to get any sense as to Qualify accurately what the potential impact could be Because we didn't know when China would have actually put the lock down on and so therefore Well, how many people actually had freedom of movement and that's kind of what's happened in Italy where? People in the Western European cities would have been aware of coronavirus But you know transportation links major airports infrastructure of that nature was by nowhere near on lock down So how much movement happened and where have they gone before now greater more stricter action has taken place? And that's what's causing a little bit of fear trade in the market Now when we're looking at these numbers obviously South Korea is and Japan within the region is much more distinct so sticking with South Korea South Korea in context is Asia's fourth largest economy, so it's particularly important in that region from a kind of implications on the on the the local but also global economy and its national total for coronavirus cases now is Actually the latest numbers are it's more than a thousand now and if you think about it. What's again? Being one of the main factors here is the speed of which it's picked up. I think about a week ago South Korea was about 51 cases. It's now north of 1,000 So it's this kind of nature of the compounding growth that you see in this this the way of which we have to human to human transmission of this virus Other areas in that region Japan has urged businesses Yesterday to have their staff work from home Now that is one thing where in a digital world for many jobs Obviously that doesn't have too much of a ramification. I mean if you're a trader you can trade from home I can do my job on an audio squawk from from wherever really realistically However for factory workers That's definitely not the case and that's where you've had in China in an area like Wuhan in Hubei province in China Such dramatic impact on their economy and and that bottleneck if you like of them Reverberating down the global supply chain as well as major issues come so yeah The more apprehensive people will come the more then significant the potential impact could be on on that side in Hong Kong overnight they've unveiled measures where they've basically Measures worth 15 billion US dollars. They've added into their annual budget overnight to bolster their economy Now, don't forget for Hong Kong. They've not it's kind of like a double whammy now They've had the implications on their economy from the anti-government protests that have been going on for many months And we're kind of escalating and now you've got this virus So, you know particularly difficult for the Hong Kong Monetary Authority as well at the moment And then a quick look through some of these other areas Italy Of course is the one that's really drawn attention this week, but you can see Iran and Singapore have stepped up Singapore have banned any Inbound tourists coming from Dago from South Korea and then Iran's coronavirus death tally now is at 16 Red sliply high proportion comparative to confirm cases there Rather than looking at other countries Algeria first confirmed case from an Italian man who had been traveling back in Germany The southern state of batten-vertenberg tested positive for coronavirus After a trip to Milan and then you've probably seen quite a lot on the news At least in England that is about a large canary island hotel lockdown Austria have sealed off a grand hotel Europa And so, you know, this is what's causing a lot of this the big thing yesterday was this headline And I think this is then going down that discussion of what have we got to look for next if this is going to become Something more significant in terms of a market correction, particularly in the equity space and this was yesterday and was definitely an adding or Contributing factor to some of the moves that we saw and this is coming from the American CDC and saying Americans should prepare for coronavirus crisis in the US Quote it's not so much a question of is this or if this will happen anymore But rather a question of exactly when So again these types of comments coming out of the National Center for Immunisation Respiratory diseases so the Center for Disease Control, which is what the CDC stands for, you know This is again, it's gonna is gonna just spook investors And also the public in that extent and you know if you think about how an economy functions if the public do get spooked You know think about what this has on a knock-on domino effect people will be there'll be less travel So tourism related stocks airline firms things like that will get dramatically Hit on the back of this if consumers stop spending money because they're not going out onto the high street For example, this will hurt retailers in many different ways You know this is where that impact where markets are trading today tomorrow's Expectation of the future and hence we've had quite violent movements in markets so far this does rise then an important point and I'm going to flip over here to a look at North America and Total confirmed cases in America at the moment is 57. So considering the population size and also in certain geographic areas like California for example the kind of Ethnic mix, you know Chinatown in San Francisco is massive and actually San Francisco has already put Parts of that area onto a bit more of a formal lockdown Just given the size of that population and the likelihood of travel to and from China to that area But the number in the US is pretty small actually and the number has already grown very slowly But as per what the CDC was saying The ability for that then this number is the one I would say you've got a watch going forward that could cause Another severe shake-out in the market now is that going to happen today? It could do is it going to happen though over the coming days I'd say you've got to just be super vigilant on numbers Related to the US if it was say New York and then this leads us on to another key city of course particularly given How cosmopolitan London is you know London what I've always found quite uniquely different whenever I've had the luxury of being able to travel is that London is so ethnically diverse as a city You know you're kind of almost hard pressed to find an English person in London and that means then that the likelihood of Movement and travel I think is a lot more risk and particularly in a city Which has an underground infrastructure like the underground system, which is very old And compact and confined in its space I think the ability to spread a virus if it was to take hold in London Would be quite a dramatic turn for the ability of this to really flare up considerably And so yeah, so far in terms of the UK I mean, let's just have a quick look if we scroll down the list here in the UK There's only been 13 cases so far and if you actually zoom in there's a little hot spot here. You can see Right in the north of England So London though is the one you'd want to look out for perhaps Birmingham Manchester Manchester these other bigger cities as well, but specifically London I think if that happens you might get another run in that respect So just things to heads up to to be vigilant for As I said though on the Chinese side and as much as right now I think the last two days has been more of a fear trade from an actual Physical point of view. China has been slowly returning to some degree of normality This is looking at some of that alternative data. I've mentioned before this is looking at daily coal consumption of major electricity producers Now obviously being such a manufacturing hub the amount of coal consumption is quite a good kind of precursor Then of the rate of which they are returning to some degree of normality as they start to Loosen the kind of containment if you like of the lockdown on these various different cities. So that's been slowly edging higher this is something called the Baltic dry index and Those of you who are more experienced will probably have heard of this before it is something that traders do Monitor particularly in the commodity space, of course What this is is members of the exchange. So the Baltic dry They directly contacts shipping brokers that assess price levels for giving shipping paths a product to transport and time to delivery or speed So essentially it's a way of acting as a proxy for dry bulk shipping stocks and general shipping market Sentiment so if you think about it, if you're thinking about that production chain You've got the coal consumption rates right at the base in the factory to power those machines And then it's about the transportations of goods So then you can see if these things start to start to pick up That's a sign then of some degree of manufacturing activity to returning to some degree of normality So that that again slightly positive on the and probably to do with the pickup in Chinese on the loose Loosening then of the lockdown they've had since the lunar new year and then there's a look at the actual corona numbers Here you can see on the left-hand chart the number of cases And if you look here the new broader definition in Hubei in that main province in China has dropped the amount of new cases It is dropping quite rapidly And the rest of mainland China and the old definition is also dropping quite dramatically the other thing that people look at obviously not Google in China, but Baidu or Baidu their search index coronavirus and mask tracking For search searches, you can see spiked right at the end of Jan and then it's been decreasing really ever since So again when you're trying to monitor people's general Confidence in those localized areas, you know, these can be quite telling signs So the long story short here is that at the moment the market is fearful of what's happening outside of China And as I've just described in those various different cities whether it has been some cases in Algeria in the Canary Islands in Germany. These are all people coming to and from Italy the northern part in Milan And so it just goes to show where you have an explosion like you did over the weekend in the numbers in that area And how then it's like dropping these little time bombs out into different geographic regions Which then flare up of course, so this is the risk and why the markets have moved. I think now Given we've had a near 2000 point move in the Dow obviously Technicals are key that was quite I saw Charlie doing some trades yesterday Really nice short on the Dow on a break and you had a simultaneous move and oil and the S&P was all moving in Sink, but now I think the technicals are quite important to just reassess things But you know from a fundamental point of view I think unless you start to see that breakout in the lights of Germany, France Perhaps the UK and London and also US numbers I think that's the next episode of a violent move like what we've just seen From a headline perspective the other thing that's happening Of course is that as stocks get hit naturally people flock to safe havens and so gold Obviously has been a clear player over the last few weeks But an interesting thing here is US 10-year yields are down around record lows You can see here what they printed down in 2016 and I've been reading a couple of bank comments this morning in my way into work and Quite a lot of big financial institutions Bank of America being one are calling for US yields down at 1.25 percent Some banks are saying that if coronavirus does indeed spread and we have a full blown pandemic Then actually 10-year yields have been heading towards 1% and if not lower And so that does bring about a really interesting concept because in the world of negative yielding debt You know where most German bonds out to maturity is quite far out a negative yielding You've got zero negative interest rates in many different countries The US has been one area where yields have offered some type of return But if the US yield comes to join the club zero or then where where do investors where the portfolio managers look to put their cash? And you know the most kind of I guess clear play would be in gold And that probably Emphasizes the reason why gold's been you know a decent performer in the last week or so But the difference between gold and bonds of course is that there's no there's no there's no yield There's no coupon with gold you don't get a regular payout So definitely an interesting scenario here if the old stew start to dramatically come under further pressure and and the key here Then is well, what are the Fed saying because if you think about it now The pressure on the Federal Reserve to cut rates is only increasing at this present point in time Now this was a comment and I think I think Federal Reserve rhetoric now Speeches is really key to try and factor in then what happens next and the Fed vice chair Richard Clarita spoke yesterday, but gave no hint of a rate cut despite the coronavirus turmoil He said the central bank is keeping closed tabs on the disease spread now This hearts back to an interesting comment that I saw someone mention which is this sounds awfully familiar To when the US China trade war was first happening Do you remember when they were first going blow to blow with the escalation of you do tariffs? I'll meet you in the US would be the aggressor and this was having then a building up of a negative Implication for the global economy as time went on through 2018 2019 now What happened there was at the time Federal Reserve Communication was saying it's too early to tell the impact of the trade war However, it started as time went on and the tariffs started to increase It became clearly evident this was having an impact on the economy and subsequently we saw the Fed cut rates three times Of course as to where they are now in the holding pattern Now it's almost like a copy repeat of that process We're at the beginning of the virus and rightly so it's hard to really Yet understand how far reaching this becomes But in my mind the Fed are gonna have to start at some point It's almost feels like it's inevitable the Fed are probably likely to start cutting again The problem is of course rates are already quite low and there's only a limited room of ammunition left in the box So, you know the most dramatic scenario us yield start You know collapsing down to zero All of a sudden then the Fed we start looking at this idea of Fed rates at zero again back to post financial crisis era And they've got to start warming up those printers again to start firing up the QE machine. So So it does happen. Well, remember Alex and I have been looking at the Dixie going up to these levels Kind of way up at around the hundred with a long-term kind of trend channel on the upside Where we've had some key levels to look out for technically But you know if we start talking about those most dramatic scenarios, which aren't my base case But you know if it did happen then obviously that would have repercussions as well on the on the dollar What is the expectations in markets at the moment? Well, the next Fed meeting is only in a few weeks Actually, it's on the 18th of March and this was a bit of a a non-event where it was very much expected That hold rates but obviously as things have started kicking off in the last few days And the virus has really taken hold and captured traders imagination the the prospect of a rate cut has crept higher now to 28 So still very much expected to hold if we go out to the april meeting though that has now shifted And a few weeks ago market pricing for a fed rate cut was tipped on the balance towards november December time that's been brought all the way up now to april Where the markets are pricing in the 25 basis point rate cut So definitely this warrants monitoring at the moment Final thing I wanted to mention was oil. These are the oil infantry numbers from yesterday However, I am going to make a bit of a brash bold statement I don't care about these infantry numbers. It doesn't matter because what matters is the virus That is the dominant theme right now. And if you look at oil yesterday Oil is playing the same narrative as the global Asset reaction to the virus that being stocks down oil down This is about a loss of consumption. This is about bad economic future for the global economy And if actually then if I remove my camera, let's go back to that technical chart We've been looking at for many occasions over the last few weeks. Look where we're at We're right back down to some key Interesting levels again. Remember we had that verbal intervention on behalf of opec plus They were talking up the prospects of a 600k cut potentially emergency meeting They didn't need to do that because markets bounced dramatically last week. However, here we are again Right down at these key levels around the $50 price point, which in the futures we trade below at the moment I would say keep an eye on those lows that we printed back in early feb because we do get through there And we start to push lower through 49 then This could spell further weight and quite a dramatic technical move then much lower down And so that could be something for sure to keep an eye on as we go through the the days ahead So in terms of the infantry data the things like the api the does, of course, we've got coming later on I mean, it's more of a short-term distraction To the other otherwise more broader bigger Um situation that's going on and which is a much stronger influence beyond just the short term Volatility you'll see on the the infantry release Okay, sam's going to come over but while he makes his way over are just going to Quickly run through the calendar as I said It's pretty quiet for this morning. There's not really a great deal at all going on. So I would say pretty much a us centric session And again, it's about markets taking a little bit of a stock of where are we at the moment? Keep an eye on those numbers. Keep an eye on those other significant cities in the western world I think the markets somewhat acclimatize now to the acceleration in numbers in the areas of like career and Japan it's all about mainland europe and america now if we are to see further outbreak Um, okay speakers final thing Uh, a couple people ecbs panetta coming out shortly Uh, christine legard is speaking but there's no expected text That's at 130 EU chief brexit negotiator michelle barnier talking at two again expect tough talk But nothing really market moving for the pound would be my base case expectation feds kaplan feds kashkari Both of which are voting members one neutral one dovish are speaking afternoon and later This evening any fixed income traders. You got the five-year note 41 billion dollars from the us treasury as well All right. Good luck out there Listen up to sam. I think the the level picking now is quite key to have good strategic kind of frameworks around any trade considerations Because then it's not that I I don't feel like fundamentally that the market's just going to rebound aggressively I think the best case like with yesterday I think you should plan accordingly for either scenario perhaps a little bit of consolidation And then when the us come in decision time then from the americans when the volume picks up Do we see a repeat or do we see? Um a little bit of a push back to pull back some of the losses we've had of late. All right guys. Good luck out there See you in the chat room Hi guys. Yeah, I'd absolutely go there. I don't think there's a really a need to To get Too involved in a in a bias as such where if we just bring in oil here because this has captured my attention I think this is a good guide if you're after 150 bucks Perhaps can sort of be that for a bit of sentiment for for the day and You know below there and fine There's still a bit of pressure on and we drip lower and maybe you know looking for stocks to to continue to go short Then you know, that's that's fine. I think there's some big levels coming up here in in oil I'm just going to put this onto the weekly chart I mean other than the yearly lows you can see why this area is just so important bringing on the Rectangle here just to some levels that we had back in the beginning of 2019 then december 2018 You've got to feel if it clears this then, you know, there's there's room for it to to push down towards 47 As well if we put the trend line here on the weekly chart You can just see how important this as a zone is It's feel was at the moment like opac are going to have to save the day for this to to go higher We did have a good bounce, but obviously these fears and The rejection of of a previous area. I mean, what a short that would have been Incredible to look back at that should have could have would have of course, but yeah, keep an eye I think on these lows here just this trend line for the oil and then Intra date $50 handle as a good guide as you'd like bringing on the the Dow here got the daily continuation Trend line It's a good guide as well. I'd say you can see we broke through last night We came back to to test the 27 000 hand or some support from october last year And we pushed higher off that and then we're just finding resistance on what was the previous low from december and also the The retest of this trend line. I know smp had a similar Trend line, which I think has actually held. It's just bring that in Is it around here? Maybe it's a bit further down actually I have to to check where that's from but that's uh, yeah, here we go I was thinking because it broken through it. It hasn't uh, that's the december 2018 low You can just see there in the camera. It's going to move that now the way Bring that in that's a good guide here I think the for stocks later on if we get below there then it could well be a quicker move down to It's a 3100 I think today is is a day not to necessarily go in with with a bias I think let's get that trend line on let's get your pivots on it's mark up Important highs and lows and you know areas just to to be aware of are there any other trend lines to to maybe get on I mean possibly get it on a little 15 minute today and and see are we getting squeezed from those lows So have a quick look Really worth having on and then the highs as well as a bit of a guide but you know here now you've got some key levels to uh to have marked up and it's kind of These are your areas you can trade from I think anywhere now in between these two points is you know not going to be The highest probability in predicting what's happened You can see we're just coming to a bit of support now, which was a key level But is this really going to be the low then we push all the way up or if we break does that mean we're guaranteed to To make fresh new loads of them. I'm not too sure. So just be a bit careful out there I think and you know trade what you see I think one of the the trades I would prefer is if we do break all of these lows and you get that continuation Or to the upside we break 31 60 and you can get a push towards 31 75 Which becomes you know, then a very key resistance level. So Do I think we're going to go down or up today to be honest? I don't really have a bias on it I just trade as it as it comes out the decks this morning just on its low from yesterday almost So keep a watch a key View on that if we put this on the daily I mean a lot of these these markets are on incredible areas of support if there wasn't the coronavirus Drama floating about you'd be saying well, what a place to get long However, of course if we were down here in another scenario, there's probably another reason for it But technically I mean have look at here. They got the Nikkei You know hit some incredible support the the low that we had from october and has bounced incredibly well from there The nasdaq obviously reliable stocks have come down and tested previous areas of support however, likewise for the dowel and The s&p which have found resistance here. You've got the nasdaq If you want to line in the sand, how about the the low that you've got from the 27th of jan Broke through came back fan resistance will be at relatively choppy But we failed to close above there and now Drifting back lower and that's the way I would look at all of these these levels here Just those key points at least a 60 minute to define your levels and then trade off that if you feel There's the opportunity to do so moving over to currencies Said yesterday is probably better things Or easier moves perhaps elsewhere and The euro you can see there's having decent pops and then slow moves down decent pops and it's uh I think looking at this if we just draw up a bit of support again Do I necessarily think we're going to go higher or lower? Not too sure for the euro, but this is another area where I would have that guide I think if we can get below 108 75 then we can start to drift lower as a bit of Intra day support for this move that's gone up. I'd say 108 91 on the futures. This is on the 15 minute previous resistance there as long as we're above there I think you know 109 can can come in and then we put this onto the 240 you can just see how important Just above where we're trading is as an area of resistance You can see what's the high that we had back on the 13th also the low the 11th just around there 109 It's say to the top 14 8 to the bottom As well as as a level where perhaps Resistance wise people might start to to get a bit more excited I know I'm patiently waiting for some of these previous lows to come in just a bit above that as well 109 37 You can see that triple bottom here on the daily chart from september Last year 2019 so keep up watching that decent recovery so far for the euro But it had been on a massive move lower And I think gold surprised a lot of people yesterday had been on a massive move higher But we did drift lower yesterday. I know we're just Recovering a bit, but we just couldn't break that area here. You see marked up 16 60 and and this is just the importance of having The the market tell you what's going on if someone explained what happened yesterday It's well gold's got to be through the roof, isn't it? Well, it just couldn't break through this resistance So that's you know, absolutely important level that I'm marking up today the r1 The highest from yesterday let that be the guide for what's really going to be be happening there You could argue a trending a bit from those lows So let's get a bit of a trend line on here just as again a guide for for price below there fine We can start to push back but for me, it's all about that 16 61 to the upside We just could not break above there yesterday Let's keep a watch what happens on that through there. Then you can see price would potentially find resistance on all these points here 16 66.6 Naughty number that 1672 just a bit above As well. So keep a watch on on that going forward Quick look over just how stocks have progressed in the last Few minutes while I've been doing this the DAX still just testing that area Keep a watch on that. I think a close below there in on the hour. We could start to to push lower But like I was saying a lot of support levels Just where we are on stocks and a lot of big term resistance levels just a bit above as well So be patient out there. Let the market tell you what's Going on and again, don't feel like you have to even be in a trade today It's not one to go chasing Have patience and trade what you see. I hope you all have a good trading day any questions Please do let us know And I'll catch you all later on
