Finished V2 of the truncated icosahedron, and I'm very happy with how it turned out. The sides are 32 hexagonal and pentagonal PCBs, joined by 3D printed corner connectors and covered with 3D printed diffusers. The pixels are mapped and it's running 3D animation patterns on a #pixelblaze.

More #teardown2024 fun today. Just now caught @wizard and @alpenglow having a BYOB (Bring Your Own Breadboard) kaffeeklatsch with a musical circuit schematic.

I've become obsessed with this cleverly designed articulated mannekin build (https://www.printables.com/model/622290-dummy-13-beta-on-runners-easier-to-print) and am printing a cohort to use as place card holders for Thanksgiving.

The recent flurry of sewing projects has come full circle. It started with a crossbody bag that looked like an addressable LED (https://mastodon.social/@geekmomprojects/110929578697233525)
Today I sewed a zippered tote bag (no electronics, but still cute) that looks like a standard LED. I think it's all out of my system now. Maybe.

Got my rainy day activity lined up for the afternoon. Inspired by @alpenglow 's adorable WS2812 pillow (on right in images), I sewed my own version as a crossbody bag that can convert to a mini backpack. Today's goal is to install a controller and functional LEDs into both projects.

My LED Orb project that I wrote up for @makemagazine is currently on the website with no paywall at https://makezine.com/projects/orb-sessed-led-sphere/ if anyone feels like tackling a fiddly, challenging, time-consuming project with a really cool end result! I'm very proud of the design as well as the very high pun-to-word-count ratio in the article.
