Design and build of a Rasbperry PI based Calendar, ToDo and Weather display on an e-ink screen. The case is made of all 3d printed parts and is able to be set on a desktop, or hung upside down from a shelf. All code written in python and pulls data from Open Weather Map for weather, Google Calendar for the calendar items and Todoist for ToDo items:

He goes beyond his comfort zone and explores PRU (programmable real-time units), OpenCV (Image recognition) and much more on his journey to build an animatronic Terminator inspired skull. It even cites badly impersonated Arnold Schwarzenegger quotes when it detects a human face. This might not be the beginning of Skynet, but it may lead you to build your own AI-powered projects! http://bit.ly/31ViRQF

Here at Element 14 Presents, we don’t want to set the world on fire, we just want to start a flame in your heart, so today, DJ’s going to be making one of his favorite pieces of video game technology: a Pip-Boy from the fallout series. A pip-boy is a personal information processor, that is a wearable computer worn by the player that keeps track of stats, inventory, mapping, biometrics and lots of other things. It’s a smartwatch on steroids and it oozes that clunky retro-futuristic aesthetic found throughout the game world

My wife works at home as a shipping manager and has to print several hundred shipping labels each day. The label printer she has just spilled them out onto the floor and then she has to roll them up by hand. I decided to jump in and overengineer a solution so she can get that 30-40 minutes back every day. Come have a look at my approach and see if you would do it the same way!

When Iron Man came out, it certainly had an influence on the maker scene - definitely on Dave. He has decided to finally 3D print the files for a Mark 2/3 helmet found on the internet and upgrade the print with not one but two self-made head-up displays! He talks us through the problems he encountered setting up the displays to work and finally install the lenses and displays into the faceplate. Anyone can do lights and servos, but can your helmet tell you what direction you’re flying to and what your altitude is, based on a humidity sensor?

Tiny resin based 3d printers is all the rage now. Size does matter sometimes and these printers' way of operation does not scale up well. Clem has an Idea to circumvent the technical limitations and breaks proving ground by building a giant 4k Resin 3d printer! Utilizing 2 Raspberry Pis (4 & 3B+) he sets out to probe that FEP foil can be replaced with a specialized liquid to make the LCD-masking technique viable for large format 3d printers!

To celebrate the launch of Borderlands 3, DJ has embarked on an epic, case-modding journey. Not only is he building a nearly full-scale Claptrap, but he’ll be shoving, er uh, gently placing a full-size gaming PC inside. Is bringing an animatronic Claptrap into a world a terrible idea sure to bring about chaos and despair? Maybe, but there’s no time to think about consequences... let’s get building!
