Inspired by Mitxela's latest project, I added a FLIP fluid sim pattern to this little motion sensitive Fibonacci256, using code adapted from Ten Minute Physics: matthias-research.github.io/pages

This little motion-sensitive 75mm Fibonacci256 prototype might be my favorite new thing I've made in a while. This was totally inspired by @starduststorm.art's brilliant "The Hexagon" which you should definitely go buy instead of waiting for me to make more of these. 😁 www.tindie.com/products/sta...

New soft polyhedron. This rhombicuboctahedeon was a trial to see if I could sew a polyhedron that didn't totally deform to a sphere when stuffed, so each face is lined with thick fusible interfacing and the exterior fabric is heavy canvas. It's surprisingly heavy for being stuffed with polyfill.

Introducing the EMF 2026 badge upgrade: Spaceagon. Oh and we made a keyboard too. Surprise! blog.emfcamp.org/2026/05/28/t...

A hexagonal electronic camp badge with prototype glowing cat artwork. There is a round screen in the middle.

The camp badge in the background, leaning against it is a plug-in keyboard. The keyboard is VERY PURPLE.

sure, though I'm still iterating on the best way to add the LEDs. Are you interested in just the design to form an octahedron, because I can put that up on Printables in a bit

Designed three interlocking squares that come together in an octahedron. LEDs will be involved at some point.

A brown table with three 3d printed hollow squares, about 6 cm long on each edge and 6mm thick, lying on top. the corners of each square contain notches either on the inside or outside of the corner. Behind the squares is a 3D octahedron which is formed by assembling the three squares to form the octahedron's edges.

I made this hyperboloid years ago when LED strings were only available with 10 cm spacing. The old LED string broke, so I restrung it with higher density pixels, and am playing with 3D patterns on the Pixelblaze controller.

Funk This! board progress in MakerSpace. Copper pads wired to cap touch board. Pulsing lights triggered. Sound plays. I still get hangs sometimes. Ordered a larger memory board so I can move away from Pico with Cowbell to see if avoiding SD card helps. And I’ll add audio meter panels. #CircuitPython

Woo! Just got a box of 200 more Jumperless V5s. These are rev 7, the only real difference is they have 2 friction-fit OLED headers on the main board, so it can sit in that crevice between the Nano headers (or scoot it over to the right if you have something in there that would cover it.)

Ended up needing a new sewing machine, but now that it's arrived, I've been able to finish sewing the Ouija messenger bag. The project has entered the hot-glue phase. Only a few LEDs left to go.

An exterior of a beige messenger bag with a Ouija board on the front flat. The board itself is made from etched faux leather with cutouts for 3D printed letters that are illuminated from behind.

The view inside the front flap of the messenger bag with a panel zipped open to reveal the back side of the illuminated letters which are surrounded by EVA foam with cutouts at the letter positions. Each letter cutout is filled with hot glues and has two LEDs from an LED string attached to eliminate the letter from behind.
