PCB Cyberpunk Construction Set
2020-11-24
[Geeek Club] has a Kickstarter for a cyberpunk PCB construction set that uses 2d PCB panels soldered together to form artistic cyberpunk themed models.
The models themselves aren't moveable but the circuit boards look to have some functional LEDs.

3D Printed Light Marquee
2020-11-10
[Duke Doks] creates a 3D printed light marquee.
The fonts are extruded and the letters re-positioned to have overlap. Each of the digits is then glued to the other, with access for the LED strip.
The LED strip is glued to the side and a 3D printed inset diffusor is positioned on top. Each digit has a small platform to make sure the inset diffusor is positioned correctly.

PCB 16 Segment Display
2020-11-02
[openKolibri] creates a sixteen segment display made of stacked PCBs.
The sixteen segment display is a 100mm x 67mm display made from four stacked PCBs, with the top PCB being used as a diffusor. There are 128 0603 SMT LEDs that are driven from a TM1640 driver.
See openKolibri's website for purchasing options.

PCB Stat Tracker
2020-10-24
[25albert] has created a table top role playing game (TTRPG) stat tracker.
The board uses the PCB as a diffusor for the underlying LEDs. In addition, the top layer PCB overhang's flex is used to press the underlying tactile switch, creating a nicer user interface.
[25alpbert] gives credit to [Nick Poole] for the clever PCB tips and tricks.

"Can The Subaltern Speak" Batting Eyelash Mask
2020-10-24
[Behnaz Farahi] gives details on the making of the "Can The Subaltern Speak?" mask.
[Behnaz Farahi] writes:
This project is inspired by ... masks worn by the Bandari women from southern Iran. ... these masks were developed during Portuguese colonial rule, as a way of protecting ... from the gaze of slave masters looking for pretty women. ... from a contemporary perspective, they can be seen as ... protecting women from patriarchal colonial oppression.
Here the ‘wink’ of the sexual predator is subverted into a language to protect women from the advances of a predator. ...

Sensor LED Ring
2020-10-24
[Joey Castillo] is working on an RGB LED sensor ring.
[Joey Castillo] writes:
... it's four Dotstar LED's and an LIS2DH accelerometer. ...
Still some issues to work through though:
the big fail so far: for some reason the SPI Flash chip isn't working, so I don't have room for both the LIS3DH and Dotstar libraries ... running a rainbow demo, instead of reacting to motion like I'd hoped.

... 3D printed cylinders with grooves for the orange rubber O-rings which I purchased. It's the kind of mechanism my son's VEX robotics team usually uses when their robot has to launch projectiles, so I figured it would work for this application.
