Pool Noodle Mace #3DThursday #3DPrinting

tech

In this week's edition of Adafruit's 3D printing showcase, the community project is a pool noodle mace — a medieval-style weapon entirely printed in place on a Bambu X1C. The print ran for eight hours and twenty-four minutes, yielding a piece weighing two hundred eighty-three grams. Adafruit is celebrating how makers are increasingly integrating 3D printing with electronics projects — Arduino boards, Raspberry Pi enclosures, and creative LED designs — turning digital models into functional, hybrid creations.
