So I've published my model now as well. I'm a perfectionist .., however 3D printers need time to print and people need time to pack, so here goes: www.printables.com/model/137231...

Please read the information, but I think it's come out pretty well.

New LED polyhedron build is underway. It's a dihedral hexacontahedron with 60 kite-shaped sides. My PCB polyhedron builds are getting better. These 3D printed tile covers use a translucent PETG designed for lithophanes plus a larger air gap than the last build for much smoother diffusion.

Got a case designed and printed for my open source #spotify car thing powered by the #ESP32. The knob on the side controls volume and the buttons on top do playback! Now I just need to figure out how to decorate it! I'd love to hear any ideas if you have them!! #arduino #electronics #music

I've treated myself to a Raspberry Pi Pico advent calendar this year. Day 1 was basic setup, but today I made an LED blink. Witness my power!
