After 2 weeks of testing, #reading, and making my own #handcrafted#3dprinted case. Today I'm reviewing the #kobo Clara BW and Clara Color #ereaders, and seeing if it's better than my existing Nia, and #kindle.
Demo of the 1" (25.4mm) Fibonacci128 #RGBLED in a #3dPrinted case, showing off the touch pad animations and Color Palette Waves pattern. It includes dozens of color palettes and the pattern is procedurally animated to last hours before repeating. The code is open source and easily hackable, runs on @adafruit QT Py SAMD21.

Trying to start getting prepared for my installation at @crowdsupply Teardown in June. These cheap flat-pack necklace display stands aren't terrible, should work fine for the Lux Lavalier & Heart pendants.
I don't see many people talking about something that #3DPrinting can do that I find invaluable, and that's making jigs.
I needed to cut some small steel rods to 4 different lengths, each with a 0.5mm tolerance.
So, I made a jig with for holes for measuring, and 1 for holding it steady while cutting. Stick the rod in, draw with sharpie where it stops, transfer it to the holding hole. Then slide it along the guide rail into the cutting blade at the correct height.
Here's a 22 second video of the #3DPrinted jig in action.
⚠️ 🔊 loud(ish) metal cutting sound.
Note that I've added a thin TPU gasket to hold the rod in place more securely while cutting. And yes, I was wearing Hearing & Eye protection as well as a heavy-duty work apron.
Good News! Our #repairable#3dprinted GLoA #ereader case, now support the #kindle 11th and 10th gen E-Readers. Both E-Reader cases are available now in Basic Cloth Premium Leather, and as DIY Sewing Kits at 16bitsrore.com.
Today I am happy to announce the release of our new Game Cartridge Display Stands at 16bitstore.com! We have #3dprinted stands for #Atari, #Sega, and #Nintendo consoles.
The parrots #3dPrinted much better than I feared. Another MZ4250 model. I was able to get a lot of detail from the print and had steady hands for those tiny faces.
Grandma gave me Grandpa's old Handyman Yankee ratching screwdriver/hand drill. It works by "pumping" repeatedly against the material to make it spin. I cleaned it up and #3DPrinted a new handle out of TPU because the old one was in very poor condition. Cura really didn't like slicing this one 😅 .
