I find myself in a side quest today. Making a standalone snapfit case for the Feather Propmaker. Its got cutouts for the screwblock terminals, button pressers and access to the stemma qt port.

Lil finder guy took 14 hrs to print. I choose to make this one solely because it was designed to print support free.
In all my years of doing NeoPixel projects, today was the first time EVER i needed order = neopixel.BGR . The blue and red are swapped 🤯
A side effect of my last project (lamp with sliding dovetails) has me spending more time designing features so there's no fasteners in this assembly. Problem with that means more time spent iterating, tolerance testing and failed prints. I could be done by now if I'd only settle on being OK with screws 🔩🚫

Carrie (of Alpenglow)A video about the Glowie covers I designed which I’m super proud of. They’re my first snap-together design and it took several iterations but came out great. Huge shout-out to @ecken for his great tutorial video, and @jasoncoon for reminding me it existed. And to @wizard for encouraging me to use the PCB outline as a snapping surface. And I’m sure to @ArchiteuthisFlux for some key thing I’m forgetting. 😂 1/2 #glowie #alpenglowie
Liz [BlitzCityDIY]the guide for not a typewriter is live meow and i'm really proud of this line i was able to include:
"But what if you're on a laptop, writing the next great American novel in the spirit of Jack Kerouac or pushing the boundaries of gonzo journalism like Hunter S. Thompson?"
i co-hosted 3D hangouts this morning with @ecken
we chatted about our newest collab, Not a Typewriter, and a weird MIDI routing PCB i recently designed

gallaugherIf any Boston-area #CircuitPython friends would like to come out to Boston College Arts Fest, Sat. April 26, my students are presenting 1-3pm both Physical Computing & #SwiftUI projects in the new MakerSpace building 245 Beacon St. Room 301. No pressure, but would love to see you there if interested & able! @blitzcitydiy @ecken @danhalbert. All welcome! https://www.bc.edu/content/bc-web/sites/bc-news/articles/2025/spring/arts-festival-2025.html
Catch up on the latest episode of The CircuitPython Show with @blitzcitydiy and @ecken. Hear them talk about how they collaborate on projects and share some of their favorite collabs. Here's Noe with one of his favorites:
