LCD Glasses

In this week's project, we’ll show you how to build pair of electronic sunglasses. These are really cool because you can actually control the dark tint from the glass.

Sandwiched in between two sheets of glass is a layer of liquid crystal material. When voltage is applied to the electrodes, it turns dark and filters out bright light. Depending on how much voltage is applied, you can control the tint or opaqueness of the glass.

This is a Liquid Crystal Light Valve (a.k.a a LCD Controllable Blackout Panel) and they’re mainly used in welding helmets because it can protecting your eyes from really bright sparks.


The duct looks scary thin, but is quite strong and prints easily on an M2. In PLA 25% filled, it only uses 10g. It mounts using the same screws and nuts that came with the M2.Incidentally, yup, that is it being used to print a copy of itself in the first photo. Why? Well, I printed the first one before I had the attachment and the second one (as you can see) after. The second one is a much nicer print... which was the whole point of doing this. I actually have two M2s, so neither copy of this mount will go to waste. ;-)The photo of&#xA0;the&#xA0;cup&#xA0;is of <a href="http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:690176" rel="external">http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:690176</a> , printed on my MakerGear M2 after installing the ducted fan mount. This is a tiny wine glass, with a long stem that&apos;s around 2.25mm diameter -- which would have sagged and probably caused a print failure with the standard fan mount. Printed in white PLA at 0.25mm, 8% fill (there&apos;s fill in the base, stem, and lower portion of the cup), 50mm/s.

 This set of Montini bricks forms a tragic relief of &quot;The Death of Lucretia&quot;. The subject mater may be inappropriate for children. Visit the original art scan for details on the story.
Just like the vintage original Montini parts, these are compatible with classic Lego full height bricks.
Montini building bricks were produced from 1961 to 1969 in the Netherlands. They were originally made from soft, pliable polypropylene. The diagonal fins bend slightly around the pips of the other block.

Please do not mix these with original Montini parts. PLA is much harder than the original bricks, and the layer ridges act like sand paper. You will wear out the original Montini bricks very quickly.
I would love to see your make!

I knocked mine off the wall. It broke. This is a direct replacement for the ODELIC light. There is a SCAD file and an STL file. Print using 0.3 layer height using white filament. Afterwards, I would use only LED bulbs in the fixture - I am sure the PLA would melt under a 60 watt. Model number is either: KR60W 0B080488 or ML1036

 I decided to share the masks I sculpted for Halloween, It was a pretty fun project and a cool couple costume for me and my girlfriend. The masks are different from each other, you have to be aware of the file Sufix before printing
Mask01: BirdBembera_
Mask02: BirdJose_
Both masks&#xA0;have articulated/moving jaws,&#xA0;I&apos;m including some assembly instructions and an Assembly Preview mesh so you can see the final assembled mask. You will have to buy some elastic bands for the jaw mechanism and also make sure&#xA0;to print 2 pins per mask.
The models were&#xA0;sculpted on top a photogrammety scan of both our faces, so it might need some scaling according to your head size, and&#xA0;I added some extra strap holes&#xA0;in case you want to adjust it a bit better.
