Adafruit Holiday Gift Guide 2016: 3D Printing Projects
by Noe Ruiz
PiGRRL Zero – Raspberry Pi RetroPie
Enjoy sweet nostalgia when you sit back, sip some hot cocoa and play retro video games from the late 80’s on a Raspberry Pi Zero. The PiGRRL zero project features a low cost build of materials for a basic entry level handheld console.
Circuit Playground – Star Trek Combadge
Show up to the holiday party with a shiny new combadge to let them know you’re from the future. This project features a circuit playground, which is capable of playing sounds, LED animation and loads of nifty sensors.
Circuit Playground – Wearable Wrist Band
Wear a versatile microcontroller on your wrist to demonstrate your knowledge and love for technology. Use Ninjaflex TPU filament to make a strong and flexible wrist band that you can customize or remix for other projects.
Circuit Playground – NeoPixel Yoyo
Make a classic iconic toy into a modern joy of tech. This project is lots of fun to build and requires very minimal assembly. Print the parts in your favorite color and add your own mark to the covers.
UV Brush Cleaner
Build a useful utility that is sure to get usage from that special someone who enjoys the craft of DIY cosmetics. UV/UA LEDs are great for projects with fluorescent materials like UV/blacklight-reactive or ‘glow-in-the dark’.
Pokemon Potion USB Battery Pack
Theme out your USB battery pack and replenish your phone’s battery. This is super easy project. Optionally add LEDs to emit a magic glow that evokes a senses of wonder.
Feather Weather IoT Lamp
The gift of knowledge for those who enjoy IOT and NeoPixels. This project uses a 24x NeoPixel ring to display weather through animated LED sequences. It’s a great little project, perfect for office environments with no windows!
Glowing NeoPixel LED Chair
Perfect for gaining attention and attraction at those get togethers and special events. Sit on a rainbow of lights that can change with a smart device. Control the NeoPixel LED animations with the Adafruit Bluefruit Connect LE app for iOS or Android.
Mini FPV Monitor for UAVs
Upgrade your UVA with an adorable display for FPV. This project can be used in lots of different ways. The mini display adds an extra monitor to your rig that can be used as a ground station.
