The Wii Nunchuk controller is the notorious official Nintendo Wii controller with two buttons, a joystick, and an accelerometer, which makes it pretty versatile. Thingiverse Keycaps wanted to take advantage of the Joystick’s motion capabilities for a unique application, and so they stuffed a Raspberry Pi Zero W inside one. The Pi Zero is small, but…
If your next project involve to build an all-in-one computer system using your Raspberry Pi mini PC, for sure you may be interested in a new case published to the Thingiverse website this week. Designed to incorporate a 3.5″ tft touchscreen display available from online retailers such as and others from as little as £24….
OpenScan has created a low-budget, high quality DIY 3D scanning system, that is fully open-source and modular and available to purchase in a variety of different packs depending on your needs from control board to full system. The 3D scanner is able to snap multiple photos and stitch them together with software. It manipulates the…
If you own a 3d printer and you’re looking for your next weekend project, you may be interested in this cute ePaper mini Weather Station using a AZSMZ Mini 2.9″ complete with 3D printed enclosure. Created by the Thingiverse member tromano32, the weather station 3d printed case has been designed to hold two 18650 cells…
This small version of the Robocop ED 209 robot has been built by Thingiverse member Johnxp, to perfectly house smaller Google Home device. Thanks to a CR-8S and Ender-3S 3D printer he has 3d printed, after some modifications, this amazing case for the google home mini. “This is a remix of ED 209 from Robocop…
Created by Tucker Shannon, the single pixel scanning camera uses a pair of stepper motors which directs the RGB color sensor (Adafruit TCS3472) in a square spiral for image acquisition: all powered by an Arduino Uno SBC. If you are interested in building your very own Arduino powered single pixel scanning camera, all you need is: Arduino…
The maker Nikodem Bartnik has just created a 3d printed CNC machine that’s able to cut MDF and acrylic and can engrave aluminum. As for how well this CNC machine works, it’s pretty good. With the Gcode to cut an 80mm diameter circle out of MDF, this machine managed to cut a circle that was 80.02 mm…
If you need a DC Motor for your next project, you can obviously buy it or you can build it! In order to assist with the winding process for a self-built motor, on thingiverse you can find an innovative fixture with two stepper motors and an Arduino Nano for control. Component needed : Arduino nano…
Starting from an existing design from a 2013 research done at UC Berkeley, this Arduino-powered bot created by Ali Aslam is built entirely from printed parts and off the shelf hardware. An Arduino Pro Mini combined with tiny Pololu motor controllers is enough to get the bot rolling, and a Flysky FS-X6B receiver is onboard so…
FoxTail has recently released via Thingiverse website the 3D printing files of its Sega Dreamcast Pi Case, allowing anyone with access to a 3D printer to replicate the case to protect their own Raspberry Pi SBC. The iconic Sega Dreamcast case supports the Raspberry Pi B+ / 2 / 3 systems, and is also equipped…
Okay is a nifty synth instrument made entirely from 3D printed parts which were designed in OpenSCAD and printed on the maker’s Prusa i3 MK2 3D printer. “With a name like ‘OKAY’ you might guess that functionality is intentionally limited. There’s just one octave of keys, a volume/power control, and an octave rotary switch to…
The site, Metafluidics.org, is a free repository of designs for lab-on-a-chip devices, submitted by all sorts of inventors, including trained scientists and engineers, hobbyists, students, and amateur makers. Users can browse the site for devices ranging from simple cell sorters and fluid mixers, to more complex chips that analyze ocular fluid and synthesize gene sequences. The…
